HAPPY LOT-0WNE
They Will Receive a Big Price
for Property ON the Site.
Pope & Talbot Bonded All the Land for Two
Hundred Dollars a Front Foot More
Than the Market Value.

Property holders adjoining the site for
the new Postofice building and in the
vicinity of Mission and Seventh streets
were very joyous last night.
As stated in the dispatches, the property
selected by the Government is situated on
the northeast corner of Mission and Seventh
streets. 1t has frontage of $50 feet on
Mission street, $50 feet ON Seventh and $50
feet on Jessie. On the eastern side forty
feet Of additional property will have to be
purchased for the opening of a new street or
passage way.
The happy property-owners stated last
night that the Government had dealt ex-
clusively with Pope & Talbot, the we'll
known lumber-dealers. in making the pur-
chase. The firm owned the sand lot on the
northeast corner of Seventh and Mission
street, which has a frontage of 200 feet on
Mission and $50 feet on Seventh. When the
firm became aware that there was posi-
biity of the site being selected for a post
office sufficient adjoining property was
bonded, so they could control an area $50
feet square.
BONDED THE PROPERTY.
To do this the firm bonded $50 feet en-
Mission street, upon which are situated seven
two-st0ry frame dwellings, extending from
1882 TO 1046 Mission. The same number of
feet along Jessie street in the rear also had
to be bonded. The price the firm agreed to
nay was $500 front foot along Mission and
$500 front foot on Jessie, which the prop
erty-holderS declare is $500 front foot more

ENGLAND's COMMERCE.
Foreign Trade Shows Material Decrease il
the Past Year

Foreign Trade Shows Material Decrease in
the Past Year.
LONDON, Oct. S.-The Globe, the Conser-
vative paper, says: There is no longer any
question that the trade of the country has
lost its buoyancy. The monthly return
issued to-day shows a shrinkage this time in
the imports as well as exports. Even max
ing an allowance for the exceptional magni-
tude of the shipments to the United States
in September, 1890, the continual falling of
under this head has serious complexion.
The Mckinley tariff appears to be working
more harm to British commerce than was
anticipated BY handicapping our manu-
faetures it has necessarily diminished our
purchases of American products which we
take in exchange. Copper has fallen % per
cent while tallow shows a substantial
shrinkage. The only exception among the
raw materials is wool. The broad result
is that our foreign customers supply
their requirements elsewhere. Thus the
iron and steel exports fell last month over
u per cent, copper 20 per cent, machinery
IA per cent and worsted goods 35h per cent.
The moral is written on their lace. 1t is
that England can only retain her foreign
trade by the SaHe means that she built 1t
up-by the cheapDess of production, while
the tendency of the labor movement is to-
ward an increase in the cost OF production"

GERSIANY'S POOR.
Misery Increasing With Cold Weather-At-
tack on Stape-Coach

BERLIN, Oct S.-As the cold weather ap-
pr caches there is a marked increase in the
want and misery among the working classes
in Berlin. In order to get rid OF the more
dangerous and able bodied they are given
work on the North Sea Canal and other
public improvements away from the city.
L his cannot be done with the aged and in
firm, and the depar tures hardly make au
appreciabe difference in the number Of
paupers apparent on every hand. In other
cities of the Empire, especially the indus
trial centerS, there is more poverty than
last year. and the high price of bread makes
the lot of the poor harder.
Bandits attacked mail-coach en- the road
near Mewe, in East Prussia ON Tuesday
night. They overpowered and stunned the
driver and guard, and were about binding
them preparatory to rifling the contents or
the mail bags, when a driving party came
up and surprised the bandits. A conflict
ensued between the new cOmers and the
outlaws, which resulted in the repulse OF
the bandits aud the release of the captiyes.
Tie distress caused by the shortage of the
crops has increased the lawlessneSS in the
region where the affair occurred.

A Tribute to the Dead aud a Plea for Har-
mony.
OMAHA, Oct S.-M. V. Cannon, the newly
elected President of the Irish National
League, greatly lamented the death Of Par
neil. He said: He was the greatest man,
in my opinion, Ireland ever had in a Par
l;amentary sense. lie had all the elements
which command the attention and win the
respect Of the Irish people. He came of a
family noted for patriotism on both sides.
He was cool, calculating and far-seeing.
He was a Protestant, and for that reason
alone his actions endeared him TO a vast ma
jurity of his countrymeD, who were and are
anxious that religious feuds shall not dis
turb or threaten the course OF Irish politics;
Personally my confidence in him never
wavered. But now that he is dead deem it
the part of duty and of patriotism to close
every avenue OF discord over the grave of
the man whose reputation Will grow stronger
and brighter as the years roll by. The eff
feet on the leagne will be to unity all parties
and factions. and it cannot fail to bring
about unity of those who were persistenty
bitter toward Parnell in his later life, The
next session of Parliament should see a
united party, and will see it, If the extrem-
lists will agree. 1t is the part of prudence to
utter nothing but good of the dead

ParnelI's Career Reviewed by the English
and Irish Journals.
LONDON, Oct. 8.-The Times says: Al
though Parnell lost his unique commanding
position, won by the shrewd manipulation
Of political passion, because of his vices, yet
he retained power of considerable import
aaee. Parnell owed his success to his power
TO note and his keenness in trading upon the
weaknesses and vices of humanity. For
men aud women, whether immediate col
leagues or peasan. s, serving as counters in
his game, he had nothing but frigid apathy
and contempt, which the traffic in the baSeT

pellant he succeeded in inspiring actual en-
thusiRsm, is the highest evidence of the
greatness of his Intellectual ability.
The Standard says: Personal rivalries
and passions will soon manifest themselves
and make clear how indispensable Parnell
was TO effective Irish agitation. The good
sense Of the British people Will soon per-

THE IRISH PRESS.
DUBLIN, Oct S.-The National Press
says: Let dissensiOn cease. With Parnell's
death the last piettnse for faction died, and
all honest lovers of their country may shake
hands over the open grave. The struggle
between ParnelPs ambition and Ireland's
liberty is over forever.
The Freenan's Journal says: We claim
that a great effort should now be made to
close with his death the sad history Of the
last few weary months OF fratTicidal strife.

enng TO drive ParDell to the grave or the

Healy is happy now that "the grave is open

than O'Cunnell and full of love for Ireland"
TIE Evening Press, a McCarthyte organ,
says: The death Of Parnell is a terrible
lesson to those who thought that the Irish
nation should take his life as a lease of Ire
lands safety They almost pretended he
was God-hke and uhdying. We cannot for
get even at this moment, how they calcu-
lated, calouslv, that the death of Mccarthy

the fiscal year ending June 80, 1882, $780,
S67 %; gross receipts of same for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1891, S73S, O2O 81. This
is an increase of about 6S per cent. But the
transacted since the proposition for new
Postoffice was first agitated, in 1882, is much
greater than would be indicated by these
figures of gross receipts. 1t should be re-
menbered that during that period the postal
rates have been largely reduced. The busi-
ness Of the office is probably nearly double
what it was in 1882, and is still growing.

WHO IS SHIELDED?

The expert Investigation OF the
- Keystone Bank has been stopped by
an order from the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington just as the eX-
perts say they are ia the way of find
ing out where the stolen money went.
TIE excuse for this action Is that the
appropriation for carrying on such an
investigation is exhausted.
1t is, however, another perfectly
logical episode in this extraordinary
case-another apparent attempt to
shield some one in when the admin
istration is interested. .........
From the first TO the last John
=, .Wannmaker. haH been a proper oh; ect
of suspicious so grave, supported by
evidence so strong, that were he not
favored by those in authority, were he
plain citizen and nota member Of
Mr.. Harrison's. Cabinet, he would be
asked some very dlsaSreeable ques-
tions by the District Attorney and
the Grand Jury.
When the bank was losing. the
millions that were stolen Wunanaker
was suspiciously intimate with it's
guilty officers; he received from them
extraordinary and illegal favors;
through one or both Presidents, Lucas
and Marsh, no became the possessor
of fraudulent stock which he used as
collateral for his loans; when the fail
nre of the bank became inevitable
the. disclosure was postponed and the
bank was kept open until Mr.. Wanna
maker could draw out his money.
OF all these suspicious circumstances
Mr.. Wanamal1er has not given sat-
isfactory explanation. On the con-
.trlry, his, statements have been as
damaging to him as the testimony Of
the witnesses who appeared before
tho Councils Committee. And, to
Crowd the miserable affair, the Gov
eminent at Washington is doing pre-
ciselv what it would do if Mr.. Wanna
maker were guilty man and the
President We're determined to protect
Him. Now, at the moment when the
experts themselves say they are on
the point vi Iilding out tho guilty
persons, the Treasury comes to their
aid and stops the inquiry.
Wan.maker is still Cabinet Of
ticer. If he is really innocent his
presence is disgrace, for he is right
fully suspected. If he is guilty the
President shares his guilt by shield
Ing him from the law.-[New York
