The DISPATCH correspondent happens to
be pretty familiar with the. story o. the
rivalry between the owners of the property
in the vicinity, and it can be stated that
Senator German has had no deal or bar
gain whatever with General Malone.
THE BEET INTERESTS.
Senator German acted as he thought
best for the interests of the Government,
and he and other senator's on both sides of
the chamber realized that the old base
ball park was not largo enough to accom-.
modate the needs Of the Government. IL
that ground should be purchased, 1t Is true
that for the time being q large enough
printing-offce could be erected, but there
would be no room for future enlargement
that would have TO be made, and 1t is
well-known fact that the institution Is be-
coming m ore extensive every year.
Some of the men in the real estate rings
of this city are decidedly vicious. and IL
their schemes are blocked they care not
what may be the nature Of the reports cir
culated.
MAHosE's xANGUvREs.
II il understood that General Malone
and Colonel Dave Windsor, of Alexandria,
are the principal owners in the block OF
ground two squares above the old base
ball park, and it is also known that Malone
remained here all winter working among
the Republican senators to induce them
not TO consent to buy the park property.
There were hearings before the committee,
and Malone bad General Edgar Allan re-
present his interests before the committee
Senator German was not working In the
interest of Malone or any one else. The
syndicate owning the old baseball park
offered their property to the Government
OF S1.47 square foot and the Malone
Windsor offer was S1.l7 per square foot
PERFEcTLY PROPER.
The former baseball park IS low, and
largo portion of il is what Is known as
made ground" 1t was very natural for
ference in the price asked. especially as 1t
was known that the base ball park syndi--
cate got the property which was offered
the Government at fifty cents square
foot less than two years ago.
Senator German IS looming up 80 promi-
nently in O political sense since he led the
opposition to the force bill and buried that
infamous measure that the Mugwumps are
glad OF any opportunity to say mean can
because he is q practical and successful
politician.
SENATOR VANCE.
Senator Vance left this evening for his
home in North Carolina. He IS in splendid
health and feels quite serene in realizing
that he il secure in his seat for another
term Of six years in the highest legislative
body of the land. The Senator went to
California with the Hearst funeral party.
IL was his first visit to the Pacific Slope
and he saw much of interest during the
Journey.
Mr.. Charles N. Vance. clerk Of the Wo-
mans Suffrage Committee OF the Senate,
returned to-day from q visit to North caro-
lima.
EX-SENATOR LEWIS IMPROVING.
Ex-senator Lewis, of Virginia, who has
been Ill at the residence Of his son-in-law,
e1-OODRrtb5Hdu JOuu hiuUAtt ChlAth, IA
this city, is reported to be much better.
He is sitting up and goes about the house.
and but for the bad weather preventing,
he would go out on the street. He has
been in very bad health for some time, but
his family now think that he is consider
ably stronger. -,
Mrs. Lewis. wife OF Judge Lewis, of the
Virginia Court of Appeals, and her sister,
Miss Sallie Looney, are here on visit TO
Mr.. and Mrs. @. Maurice Smith.
JURORS HAVE THE GRIPPE.
Two of the jurors in the Kincaid case are
laid up in bed with serious attacks OF the
grippe. This will delay the progress of
the case. The arguments are yet to be
made.
w. A. Fl. Davis was to-day appointed
postmaster at Clarendon, Columbus coun-
", N. c., rice +. Q. Williamson, resigned.
THE CRUISERS ALL RIGHT.
. Commodore Ramsey says that the re-
ports of the damage to the Boston and the
Atlanta, two Of the cruisers in the squadron
of evolution, and which almost got ashore
on the coast of Florida the other day, have
been very much exaggerated. The vessels
scraped their bottoms considerably in the
shallow water and the paint Is rubbed oil.
They will be sent at once to the maynard
at Norfolk, where the necessary repairs
will be made, as the Government has Its
own dry-docks there.
