accommodation Of the insane of the army and
navy and the District of Columbia 1t is SUD-

of the kind.
The home tract contains 1856 acres, but the
entire estate, including the farm embraces
nearly 40 acres. The farm is cultivated for
the benefit of the hospital. fine herd of

Hum the new Hefald
1t is never-failing source Of wonderment
where all the new curbstone novelties come
from and what will appear next Almost every
day some new toy is displayed by the fakirs
and disposed Of by the bushel. Human inge-
nuity seems to be taxed to its utmost to pro-
duce new and curious toys that can be SOLD
readily on the street. Every now and then
some particular little thing makes a temporary
hit and the fortune Of the owner. This stimu-
lates other inventors, and there you are-hav-
ing something new every day. When a strike
is made the market is flooded with the new
favorite, for its popularity is short lived. A
few days and its reign is over.

" in the interesting stretch Of country back
OF Anaeostia and Good Hope, a growing section
that is not as familiar to Washingtonians as it
ought to be.
Taking the Suitland road, about a quarter of
Q mile east of Good Hope (Which may be
reached by way Of either Twinipg or Good
Hope), scarcely an eighth of mile is Travelled
before the ancient and historic Young mansion
is observed on the left. This is one of the
oldest country seats in the District
and an inspection of the building
and surroundings will prove interesting. The
house was built a century ago Tin 1873, to be
exact) by Nicholas Young. the grandfather OF
Mr.. Joseph n. Young of sth street northwest,
the present proprietor. The estate had been
in possession of the Young family for genera
tions previous to this The house was built of
solid logs hewn out of trees that were up
rooted on the place by a severe hurricane quite
similar to the one that did so much damage in
this vicinity recently. The old structure looks
dilapidated today, but there is every evidence
about it Of former grandeur. The porch or
balcony that extends along its entire front,
shaded by giant old oaks. bespeaks comfort.
1t stands upon an elevated knoll. fine landscape
views being furnished from 1t in every dlrec-
ton In the rear q number of old slave
cabins. Tor IN the days OF slavery there were
usually thirty or forty slaves employed on the
place The estate originally contained 625
acres The cleared part of 1t when cultivated
by the present owner. from 1851 TO 1858. was
regarded as a model farm. There was no I'M
derbrush or weeds on any part of it, and the
land was remarkably fertile Indeed, so excel
lent was il in every particular that the place
was given the name of '.Nonesuch. which ii
still bears The old mansion and lOS acres now
comprise what is left of the old estate.
A colored man named West now has charge
Of the place.

An Investigation Begun Into the Invest

Associated Press Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-After dispos-
ing of little routine business, this
morning, the senate resumed considera-
ton of Morgan's resolution relative to
amendments to the elections bill, and
discussed point Of order made against
it by Senator Sherman, which was that
the resolution was not on the calendar
and could not be taken up except by
unanimous consent. The vice-president
sustained Slerman's point, and Morgan
appealed and proceeded to address the
senate on his appeal.
After considerable debate on the point
of order, the matter went over without
action.
Manderson offered a resolution (Which
was agreed toy directing the superin-
tendent of the census to report at the
earliest possible moment the popula-
ton of the United States, according to
the census of 1890, by congressional
districts and counties.
The senate then resumed considera-
ton of the elections bill, and was ad-
dressed by George in opposition to it.
At the conclusion of his speech, Haw-
ley alluded to the shooting OF Postmaster
Matthews in Senator Georges town.
The shooting, he said, was in cold-blood
and because the postmaster was Re-
publican. George said politics had
nothing to do with the shooting.
The senate adjourned until Friday at
noon, with the understanding that then
a further adjournment would take place
till Monday.

BAY CITY MARKETS.
Daily Review of the Produce, Fruit and
Grain Trades.

Grain Trades.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 31.-Potatoes,
nothing doing. Oregon products which
reach here are OF poor quality. Most Of
the shipments are going east. At this
time last year potatoes were coming this
way from the east, and prices were
much higher. Better times are looked
forward to, however, as lis believed the
weather is getting 100 cold to risk any
further eastern shipments.
The egg market is easy at present, but
higher prices are expected after the first
of the year. Butter is steady. There is
no change in the general provision line,
although trade is very good. Trade for
the past season has been the best the
city has had for many years.
Very few grapes are coming in. Mex
ican oranges are about out, but navels
and seedlings from the southern country
are coming in freely. Holdings in dried
fruits are very light throughout the
state, the market being pretty we'll con-
centrated. Peaches and prunes are now
the only fruits in the market. Trade
has been light for some time, but
throughout the year it was remarkably
good.
The cereal markets were firm this
morning, but trade was rather quiet.
Wheat continues strong at $1.35 per
GENITAL for choice shipping. Choice feed
barley Is firm and trife higher, occa-
sional sales being made at $3.50 per
Genital. Oats are firm. Corn is strong,
and prices higher. Beans continue very
dull. Hay is quiet.

BRITISH SYNDICATES.
The Details of the Purchase of the Min
fneapOlis Mills.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Senators Chan
dler, Hale and Power, and Repre-
sentative Owen were the only members
of the joint congressional committee on
immigration present this morning when
the investigation into the purchase of
American industries by foreign capital
was begun. @. A. Pillsbury of Mime
sofa, the first witness, was examined at
some length.
In response to questions by Senator
Chandler, with reference to the sale of
the Pillsbury and Washburn mills and
milling property, witness said the con-
veyance was made to Carey and Whit
ridge of New York, representing Lon
included the G. A. Pillsburv &
Co. mills, with a capacity of
about 10000 barrels a day. and
the Washburn company's mills, with a
nominal capacity of about 5000 barrels.
The mills are at Minneapolis and Anoka,
Minnesota. The total nominal capacity
was nearly $4,000 barrels. The actual
working capacity was about IL, 500 bar
rels aday, of value of about $4,000
In connection with these mills there
were about 130 elevators belonging to
the Minneapolis Elevator company and
living along the line of the Great
Northern srailroad. The Minneapolis
Mill company and st. Anthony Water
Power company owned the water rights
and stock in the small Atlantic Elevator
company near St.Mary's river. The total
consideration was about Sc, 900, 900, and
this amount also included $1,750, 900
cash left by settlers in the business for
q working capital. Different terms were
made with each of the parties inter-
ested in the concerns sold. The Pills.
bury mills and elevators brought about
ST, 200, 700, of which Pillsbury took $780,
600 in stock and $5OOOOO debentures of
the company formed by the syndicate
the balance was in cash. The syndicate
company issued $4,000, 900 in stock and
$4,000, 900 in debentures, each share rep
resenting ten pounds. Among the
American stockholders were Morton,
Bliss and Company. He thought that
the largest part of the stock was owned
in England.
Pills5ury said that under the terms of
sale he agreed to manage the property
for five years, though he supposed his
services could be dispensed with earlier.
Witness employed 700 or 800 men, and
his pay roll averaged $3.50 day per
man, which was increased to $3.17 by
a voluntary distribution of profits by
the firm. About one-half the employees
were native-born, and the other half
foreign born, including Irish, Scandina-
vians and Germans. He had no policy
with respect to the nationality of his
men, employing the best that could be
had,
