Mr. schnen's Addition.

One of the most important real estate
openings of the year is M. SchnelPs adj
dition consisting of land purchased from
the Davenport estate, just south of Ninth
avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty
fourth streets. The fences have been
knocked down and the street extensions
which people have clamored for so many
years are in sight. Mr. Schnell has plat
ted the ground into "a lots, each 5oxl4o
feet, and proposes to sell them on easy
terms-one-fourth down and the balance
on time at seven per cent. He will also
build houses for purchasers on the same
terms if desired-a fourth down; balance
on time. All desiring to embrace the op.
portunity should apply to M. j. Murphy
at the Office of NJ. Schnell, architect and

OTTAWA, oSr., Aug. 11.-sir Hector
Iangeyin's sudden determination to re.
sign has caused big sensation here
His step was completely unexpected. 1t
is said that Hon. Thomas McGreevy
would also resign. The resignation Of
Sir Hector has proved to be veritable
bomhshell in political circles.
1t was totally unexpected at this stage
OF the proceedings and is the absorbing
topic OF conversation here. At the
meeting OF the committee on privileges
and elections to-day Sir Hector read n
long paper in defense of himself. He
said he would preface it with the state
ment that he had resigned in justice to
his colleagues in Parliament and the
committee. His statement was very
voluminous.
He denied emphatically the truth OF
all the charges preferred against him
and asserted his innocence in the most
positive manner. 1t was absolutely un-
true, he declared, that he had ever re-
ceived $4,000 from Owen Il. Murphy;
likewise, he had had no relations what
ever with Murphy. He contended that
his work was perfectly honorable, and
that there had been no mdnipulations
OF public contracts. In support OF each
assertion he quoted documents which
he considered irrefutable proof Of his

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-THE sub.
committee Of city councils that has been
investigating the affairs of ex-City
Treasurer Bardsley and the Keystone
bank met this afternoon, after q recess
Oi a month.
letter was received from the expert
accountants appointed by tho commit
Tee to examine the books OF the Key
stone bank stating that their report
would be submitted to the committee
on Tuesday next. BY reason of the
inCompleteness of the work the experts
are still unable to determine what part
Of the money lost by Bardsley is due
the city.
A long discussion took place as to
whether expert Brown should make
public the names Of great number OF
persons who appear upon Bardsley's
check book as having received money
from the ex-city treasurer. 1t was con-
tended that it would be great injus-
uco 10 publish the names OF these men,
most OF whom might have already paid
the loans made them. Finally It was
decided that Mr.. Brown should read the
a9nes Of the stubs OF the check book.
The list comprised between seven
asad eight hundred names, but the ma
lority OF the sums paid out by Bardsley
We're for small amounts. A letter from

King Alexander in vIennn "A DIncreu
Story About His Education.


VIENNA, Aug. liking Alexander,
the boy rules Of seryIa, who succeeded
to the throne upon the abdtcation Of
King Milan, arrived here at late hour
last night iromst. Petersburg, where he
has been visiting the Gar.
A large number of officials were await
ing him in the station, while outside Q
crowd numbering 10000 persons had
gathered to get view OF the youthful
ruler, DetaChments OF soldiery were
drawn up around the station, and the
King was received with full military
honors.
King Alexander was attired in mill
tary uniform, and bore himself like Q
soldier. He is well grown boy, tall for
his age. In his face he bears a resen-
blance to both Queen Natalie, his
mother, and TO ex-KinG Milan, his
father.
Notwithstanding the fact that recent
dispatches from Belgrade announced
that his Majesty had passed a very sue
cessful examination on a great variety
OF subjects, it is asserted that in general
respects his education is in deplorable
condition. This, it is said to be due to
the fact that his tutors were frequently
changed from political reasons. He has
been reared without companions OF his
own age, and altogether, though he
holds the position OF king, he is COM
PEELED to lead dreary, lonely life. He
went to ischl to-day, and tomorrow
will proceed to Munich, the capital of
where he will join his father.
After short stay in Munich, ex-King
Milan and King Alexander will go to

HIS DUCAIi MoDEsTY.

The Grand Duke Alexis Has Not Cotton
Used to Public Receptions Yet and Don't
Like Them.
PARIS, Aug. 11.-Thers is scarcely q
doubt that the non arrival IN this city
yesterday Of the Grand Duke Alexis
was entirely due to his distnclination to
be the recipient of the enthusiastic well
Come that the citizens of Paris had pre-.
pared for him. Great crowds of people
gathered at the railway station where
he was expected to arrive, and much
disappointment was manifested when
1t was learned that tho Grand Duke
had changed his plans and would not
arrive at tho time originally set.
At S:45 o'clock this morning, when
he did arrive, there was no one present,
officially or unotiiciaRy, to receive him.
So averse was tho Grand Duke to un-
dergoing an official reception that even
the governors OF the Russian embassy
had no official information as to the
exact time OF his arrival, and he, there
fore, alighted from the train as pri-
vate individual would have done, but
as he reached the platform he was REQ.
Ognized BY a crowd comprising at least
n thousand persons. The greeting given
the Grand Duke was enthusiastic, he
bowling and smiling at the warmness of
his welcome, despite the attempt to
avoid it. He passed along the platform
and leaving the station entered car
rtage and was Immediately driven to

REPUBLICAN TACTICS

Adopted by the Democsacy-The Club
idea that was Secuted In 'SS Now Made
Prominent Feature Of the Campaign.
New YoRK, Aug. 11.-At a meeting Of
the Executive committee OF the
National Association Of Democratic
clubs II was decided to hold the next
National convention Of Democratic
clubs sixty days after the National
Democratic convention.
Chairman Wilson gave an account Of
his tour to the far Northwest. He stat
ed that the direct result of the estab-
lishment OF clubs in Utah was the cleo
tion Of the Democratic ticket and the
almost entire absorption OF the Mormon
vote. Tne finest and most complete or
ganizNtion in any State was in the new
State OF Washington. Indeed, it is in
the Northwest that the work OF prose-
lyting would be most actively carried
on, through the means OF the club or
ganiaation.
It has been decided to organize n
missionary ITINERARY composed OF tif-
teen OF the leading Democratic orators
connected with the National AssociR-
ton. The party will leave the city Of
Washington, L. c., on September 12.
They will make complete circuit Of
the northwest, stopping at Chicago.
From there they will go direct to Hell
ena, Montana, and there organize q
league Of Democratic societies for that
State. They will reach Spokane Falls
in time for the State convention OF
clubs. Among the speakers will be
several candidates for the speakership.
Congressman Bynum, Of Indiana, has
already been settled on Us one OF the
party; also Senator Kenna, of West
Virginia, and Chauncey F. Black, presi-
dent OF the National Association.
The committee has appointed cor
respondents in every county in the
United States. Each county will be
assessed the sum of $40 for the support
OF the order and the propagation of
Democratic doctrine through the club
organization. Questions OF party policy
were warmly discussed, and the silver
question came in for heated debate
among the members. The committee
are sorely divided on this point, but it
was decided that the tariff would be
made the leading feature OF the South
