CLEVELAND, February 22-Your correspond
ent learned tonight that the Brotherhood club
IN Cleveland is likely to be strengthened by the
addition of Farrell, of last years Chicago team.
Farrell is great favorite here, having been
more successful against the Cleveland pitchers
of last season than almost any other visiting
player. The effect of an icy wave straight off
the lake could scarcely have been more chilling
to the audiences than the presence of Farrell
at the bat with men on base in a close game.
Farrell WILL If signed, be played every day.
Alternating between the outfeld and the
catcher's position,
It had been rumored that Mr.. Johnson,s new
catcher was TO be either Meyers, of Buffalo, or
Miller, of Pittsburg, but the information given

Fair Conditions.
John Quinn received information from Jack
Fogarty yesterday to the effect that Reagan
now refuses to fight him, Fogarty, at any
weight above l54 pounds. Originally it was in
tended that Fogarty and Reagan fight at I5S
pounds for purse offered by New York
reduced to I54 pounds aud that Fogarty put up
a forfeit of $500 as a guarantee that he will be
at that weight. Reagan also offers to fight
anybody at the weight named.
1t is hardly likely that Fogarty will accept
the very unfair conditions of Reagan. While
il may be comparatively easy to get down to
l5S pounds Fogarty may have great difficulties
in getting down four pounds lighter.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM 10 rHs prsrArcu. !,

WASHINGTON, February 23.-The real
estate spectators in Washington are thrown
into considerable excitement by the move
ment that is on foot to erect summer resi-
dence for the President. Should bill pro-
viding for a Presidential home during the
heated term pass Congress, it is quite likely
that the contest between the real estate
owners and Spectators will be so bitter
that the residence would never be built.
An instance of the power which these
men have in controlling the matter of sites
for public building is shown in the history
of an attempt to get new postofice build
ing for the city of Washington. The post
off ce in this city does an immense amount
of business in the course of year, and the
necessity for large. convenient and accessi-
BILE building is as great as in any city
in the United States; vet the Government

Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-02-24
THE REASON FOR 1T.

The only reason why new building is
not erected is that Congress cannot agree
upon site. Whenever one is chosen the
friends of all other sites combine against it
and knock the proposed law into smithereens.
at least q dozen times bill providing for
the erection of new city postofice has
passed one or the other Houses of Congress,
but has never passed them both at one ses-
sion because the real estate sharks would not
allow it to.
Every Postmaster General for the past ten
years has attempted to get new building
and dozen official reports have been made
as to the unhealthfulness and danger of the
dingy old hole where the city mails are now
handled, but so impossible is it to agree
upon the site for the new building that a
lease for the old one has just been made for
term of i've years more. The fate of q
bill to erect a summer executive mansion
would probably be much the same.
When President Cleveland was induced
to buy house out in the country, the real
estate Spectators took advantage of the
fact to boom suburban property in that
direction, until now there are several miles
of unoccupied lands laid out in the direc-
tion of the Cleveland house outside the city,
and the price is up to the highest notch.
THE WORK OF sPECULAToRs.
The plan OF the real estate operators was
to buy all the property on the two main
roads leading out from the city toward Red
top, plat them into city lots and sell them at
q high figure. This they did. and there are
now imaginary villages all the
way from Ithe boundary line
of the city to the neighborhood
of the Cleveland summer villa. The specu-
lators have sold the greater portion of the
lots to small purchasers who bought them
for the purpose of erecting homes. Very
few houses have been built on this land,
however, and it will probably be some time
before this region becomes the center Of the
city's population.
Should bill pass Congress now to give
the President summerrhome he would prob
ably be compelled to select site privately
some dark night or run the risk of being
eaten alive by the real estate operators.
Should he succeed in selecting a place, or
should Congress do it for MIN, the boom in
suburban property would take start in the
direction of the new mansion, and "Cleve-
land Heights" and Redtop would be left in
the lureh, together with all the unhappy
individuals who purchased at high prices
town lots out in the country.
