A CHEAP CITY TO LIVE IN.
Why q Lady Thought Washington Less T.
pensive Than Most Other Citiea

Why q Lady Thought Washington Less Ex-
pensive Than Most Other Cities.
Washington is the cheapest city to live in
that know Of" said lady who came hither
from Boston year ago to a STAR writer. ut
is less expensive than Boston by at least % per
cent on everything from house rent to MARKET
ing. buy nice spring chickens here now for
IS cents apiece. In Boston 1 would pay IS
cents Round steak in Boston costs % cents a
pound. In Washington the best cuts of it are
10 cents. Vegetables are proportionately
cheaper in this town. and 50 are eggs
blouse rents in Boston are enormous. II
you want to be considered anybody you must
live within certain small districts. where dwell
ings are let at fabulous prices. l live in the
midst of the fashionable part Of Washington.
and have one of the prettiest little houses in
town. My rent is S45 a month. In Boston
for the same price might be able to get two
rooms, but nothing more unless / went into
the slums or out into the country. You hear a
great deal about the cheap rents OF Philadel-
phia but have lived there also, and assert
that they are no less than in Washington. But
if you are going to live in the fashionable part
of Philadelphia you are obliged to pay very
big rents.
Servants wages are Is per cent less in
Washington than in Boston. Coal is nearly as
much cheaper. Labor of all sorts costs much
less here. 1 know from experience that one
cannot live so eheaply in Chicago as in WASH
ington. New York, OF course, is impossible for
people of moderate means. Hotels here are
very reasonable in their charges, and so are
boarding houses Before l came here heard
from several quarters that this was a very
expensive place to live, but declare emphat-
ically that one can be more comfortable and
enjoy more Injuries on a given income in
Washington than anywhere else in the United
States"

In the Criminal Court, before Justice Brad
ley. this morning, Mr.. John A. Moss, the col
ored lawyer. whose name was mentioned yes
terday by Mr.. Peyton in connection with the
case of Joseph West. asked to make state
ment Mr.. Moss said that SO far as Mr.. Pey-
toms statement affected him it was
unfounded, unjust and damaging. He had
appeared for West in the Police Court,
having been engaged by Mr.. Petersen, but he
had nothing whatever to do with the alter
cation which Kicks is said to have had with
Peyton. His connection with the case in the
Criminal Court, he said, was as follows:
He came to the court, saw the prisoner and
asked If he had lawyer. The prisoner replied
that the government had given him q lawyer.
Coming into the court Mr.. Moss said he saw
that Mr.. Peyton had been assigned by the court,
and so telling Kicks he left He had been charged
with going through the vans and cells Of the
Police Court like hyena and he desired to re-
flute such charge, and he would refer to Mr..
Clagett as to his conduct.
The court said he yesterday had stated that
he had nothing to do with the motion and had
simply remarked that he would not permit the
solicitation Of business from the prisoners.

CARA CLEARS OUT.

He 10 Believed to he 100 Miles Distant From
the Scene Of Operations.
MARIA, Tex, Jan. 15.-While the forces of
Uncle Sam think they have Cara rounded up
among the foot hills of the lower Rio Grande
that very nomadic individual is believed to be
more than 700 miles away from the scene Of
operation. 1t is believed by many here that
he is now in Preside county and will soon bob
up sereuely.
SAN ANTONIO. TEX, Jan. 15.-Military depart
ment officials here are in receipt Of interesting
reports giving the details Of the scout
ing by the troops against Garza. Tim
q number of old camps between Los
Angeles and Ell Plano. They had evidently
been occupied by GarZas men, but the peo-
pie of the neigborhood refused to
answer any questions. At the Devan-
neadro de las Calliches ranch he found
camps of larger size, five or six in number.
They appeared to be from five to twenty days
old The Oldest camps are near Laredo.
Capt Hunter has been instructed to scout
among these ranches. which are all within the
northeast corner Of Encinal county:
First Lieut.. j. +. knight of the third cavalry
reports futile searches for CARA in Zapata
county, but admits that he needs guides ac-
quainted with the country in order to keep q
close watch over the territory assigned to him.
Capt. George R. Hunter. commanding
ttOOp tuo NiCluAtv VI AOb Angeles
station. reports having made inquiries at
all available points concerning CARA and
his followers, but found nothing except
an indirect rumor that the revolu-
tionist chief was in Encina1 county, in q
northwesterly direction, about two weeks ago.
From several conversations with Mexican
inhabitants Capt. Hunter has concluded
that no information Of Garza and
his adherents 10 obtainable. He
6nds that while the people disclaim sympathy
with CARA they refuse to talk, either from
fear or because in reality they are sympa-
thizers with Cara.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Jan. LIT IL reported
that Cara and his followers crossed the
southern border last night The governor was
called upon to order out the militia. but he re-
fused to move in the matter. Garza's followers
number about 200 men.

rent. The Susquehanna is also extremely
high for this season, but the waters have been
recedIng since the cold snap Of last night. Yes
terday dam on the West Oneonta creek near
Oneonfa gave way. lending additional force and
fury to the great volume Of water which has
been pouring down the valley.
Barns, houses, farm property and other
debris were swept along by the raging current
or anchored along the bank. The damage in
the vicinity of the break cannot be estimated
but the loss will reach several thousand dol.
lars Cattle were drowned and great devasta-
ton was created wherever the waters could
overflow their banks.
No loss of life occurred although many peo-
pie had narrow escapes from being drowned.

THE HOLMAN REsoLurroxs
Democratic Caucus May BE Called to De-
eide as to Their Binding Force.

Democratic Caucus May he Called to De-
eide as to Their Binding Force.
Mr.. Holman had under serious consideration
yesterday the advisability of Withdrawing his
resolution declaratory OF the sense OF the
House on subsidies and other matters involv-
ing appropriation and of amending it so as
to make its wording less stringent. The
opposition which developed to the resolution
was unexpected by Mr.. Holman. who had an
ticipated that a considerable proportion of the
members of the republican side would vote for
it and that it would have almost the united
support of the democratic members. The
spirit of antagonism shown to il by
number of democrats was therefore a
surprise to him and led TO the motion made by
MIR. Holman yesterday having in view its mod
lhcation or repair. as suggested by Mr.. Reed
the leader of the republican minority.
Mr.. Holman found, however. that the defec-
ton was not as serious as had been feared and
that the proposed amendment to the resolution
would rob 1t of much of its force and permit
In the future a very liberal construction of its
purport as applied to specific objects. It is
.nought that. even as the resolu-
non stands, there will be q sufficient
difference OF opinion in the future in the in
depreciation to be given Ii in specific instances
and that 1t would be well to stand by the res
oiution as originally framed and not let
.ne oars down to greater extent
A democratic member of the House
committee on appropriations, who was asked
about the change of plan from last night,
said this morning that the army was found to
be all right and in good shape, and there was
no occasion for repairs
The lack of united. harmonious action de-
veloped Yesterday led 10 some talk among some
OF the democratic members Of the desirability
OF holding caucus at winch there might be a
general discussion Of party policy and an
agreement with reference to the course to be
pursued. This talk has not yet crystalized
into the form of the circulation of call for a
caucus, but several members have the sub
ject under consideration and NAV
draft call and hand it around
for signatures. Other democrats think. how
ever, that as matters have righ.ed themselves
as respect the present Subject before the House
the Holman resolution-it would be well to
defer party caucus for the present.
