CONGRESS.
Abstract of the More Important
Proceedings of Both Houses.
TUESDAY, DEC. S.


In the Senate not more than one score Sen
ators were present TO hear the prayer of the
Chaplain when the gavel of the Vice President
mt noon to-day fell upon the brilliant green
cloth desk-cover. The galleries, which were
Yesterday thronged, were entirely deserted
to-day. The VIce-President, Immediately after
the reading of the journal, laid before the Sem
ate communication from Gov. Altgeld, in
forming the Senate that at 2 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon a bronze statue of Gen. Shields, a
former Senator from Illinois, would be unvailed
in Statuary Hall.
Senator HOar Mass, r. introduced a reso-
linton calling on the President for copies OF
the instructions to Minister Willis and Admiral
Irwin touching Hawaii, and all correspondence.
1t went over at Mr.. Sherman's suggestion, be-
cause of Mr.. MOrgan's absence.
Mr. Dolph (0re., R. addressed the Senate on
that part of the Presidents message relating
TO Hawaii. His speech, which occupied two
hours, was adverse 10 the inistratiOn
policy. he intimated that that policy WAS
the result of a desire on the part of the
present Administration 10 discredit the action
and policy of its predecessor, and expressed
the desire that Mr.. Cleveland had been a
little more explicit as 10 how he proposed to
undo the alleged wrong aud TO restore the
former status. Mr.. Dolph freely criticised
the foreign policy of the Administration,
spoke in favor of annexing the Hawaiian
Islands, and dealt with Commissioner Bount's
report as more like the plea of a Jealous
lawyer in private controversy than like the
unprejudiced and impartial decision of Judge.
The Senate adjourned at ? p. M, in respect
80 the memory Of Representative ONeill.
In the House. less than 100 members ap-
peared at the opening. The Speaker laid be-
fore the House communication similar to
that which was laid before the Senate con-
corning the unvailing of the monument of
Gen. Shields to morrow.
On the motion of Mr. Richardson Tenn, D.,
who is Chairman of the House Committee OH
Printing, it was ordered that 20 600 copies of
the Presidents message he printed.
At the expiration of the morning hour
consideration of the bankruptcy bill was
resumed, an agreement being made by which
general debate was to be limited to six and
one-bslf hours, those opposing the bill to use
four hours and those favoring it two aud one
half hours.
The House adjourned at 4:55.

and held that the title 70 il il in the dona-

cision they quote from Hardin ". Jordan,
decided by the United States supreme
court and reported in lao U. S., page $50:

OF ascertaning the exact quantity OF the up

RENT0N T.
ADDITION

Is about the cheapest property in town.
Already many people have concluded that
they would rather live in Renton Addi-
ton than on the first hill, along by Tenth,
Eleventh, Twelfth. Thirteenth and Four
tenth streets. and the price of the prop
erty is about One-third OF what property
is held at on the first hill. Nearly every-
one takes a car to go to Twelfth street and
it is only four or five minutes longer
10 Renton Addition and the location i.
unques,ionably better. From there one
caa see clear over the fret hill and also
have the view the other way
Renton Addition was plated on a eeper-
GUS plan. Ordinary lots are 20 by 100 feet
in size, although some are smaller and
some larger. There is . 16-foot alley in
every lot.
Division street is 90 feet wide. All other
streets are SO feet wide.
Nearly all of the streets are graded and
the grade tax paid.
Renton Addition has city water, gas,
electric lights. telephone. and practically
ail of the conveuiences any other section OF
the city possesses.
The price Of lots ranges from 81, 500 to
- ~ eaC1.
Ever since We first put this property
on the market there have been many
disappointed people. They delayed Sc
curing what they wanted until some one
else picked it up and then they regretted
their procrastination. 1t was so at the
first and second sales, and there will be q
lot OF mourners this time as usual.
Blu. we can't help it. The sale COM
mences next Tuesday. and intending pur-
chasers should be on hand
The lots SO far sold in Renton addition
have been purchased by well known bust
ness aud professional men. The majority
OF them are now living there. and no one
vino has a home In Renton addition would
ever be satisfied to live anywhere else in
Seattle We hear this reiterated almost
every day.
Bear IN mind that next Tuesday il the
date Of the next sale.

SQUIRE
PARK

Is located between Fourteenth and
Twenty-second avenues, and Was designed
by nature to be one Of the choicest resi-
dence districts in tho city. Seattle has
built up to and around it on all sides and
for years there has been an urgent de-
mand for lots in this beautiful tract.
The main reason why this property has
not been placed on the market before is
that Senator Squire wisely proposed to
make certain preliminary Improvements
himself and follow out . definite and
comprehensive plan to assist nature in
establishing Squire Park as q district to
be sought for As . place of residence by
the best people.
With this idea in view the property has
been cleared a. probably no other tract
within the city limits of Seattle has been.
Everything standing has been slashed and
burned and the stumps grubbed out and
burned.
There's clearing and clearing, but
Squire Park is cleared, you may depend
upon it.
After clearing the tract Senator Squire
had the street grades established by tho
city and has graded the principal streets
at his own expense. This 10 something
that will be fully appreciated by persons
intending to build. They can build on
graded streets with the grade tax paid
and know in advance just how their lots
lie with reference to tho street grade.
This il the first tract in Seattle where the
streets were graded before . house was
built.
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1893-03-19
SQUIRE
PARK

Will be governed BY certain important re-
strictions:
FIKsT-Lets will b sold emily to per-
sens Of thorough responsibility and good
standing. No one who would not b de-
sirable neighbor will be permitted to -
cure q lot under any circumstances.
sECOND-No house costing less than
$4,000 will be permitted in Squire
Park. Purchasers Of lots are not required %
build, but are restricted from putting up .
house costing less than 81. 500 when they
do build. No shsnties will be permitted
in Squire Park.
THlRD-Construction 81 houses Will
not be permitted withiA Is feet Of the
sidewalk.
There will positively be no deviation
from these rules which we are sure will
be highly approved by all persons seeking
a high class neighborhood and no one else
will be interested in this property.
BY the way. one entire block has been
reserved for park purposes for the pres
ent, but ultimately for the residence OF
Senator Squire.
The title is perfect and every purchaser
will receive an abstract.
Crawford d Conover arc sole agents for
lots in Squire Park without houses. Next
Monday. March 20. they will offer for sale
50 lots at the uniform price Of 81, $50 each.
Persons first to make selections will
naturally secure the best bargains and in
. short time an advance in price on the
remaining lots will be announced. Terms
are one-third cash. one-third on or before
one year and ope-third on or before two
years. In this way the deferred payments
may be paid at any time and interest then
ceases. OF course. no corners will be in
Guided at the price named.
The Union Trust Co. is prepared to
sell lots and build houses and has entire
charge Of that branch Of the business.
You can have q house built to suit your
self and pay for it On very easy terms.
This is by oil odds the finest property in
the city where . home can be secured in
that way.

TWO IMPORTANT EVENTS.
Decidedly Interesting Action by Sent
tor Squire and the Renton Estate.

Decidedly Interesting Action by Ssna-
tor Squire and the Renton Estate.
The announcement is made in another
column that part Of the hitherto re-
served portion of Renton's addition is to
be placed on the market next Tuesday.
This will be goods news to the many peo-
pie who have been waiting for lots there.
and the announcement is made, of course.
by Crawford IL Conover, the same firm
who placed the first installment Of lots in
this now famous addition on the market
for the late Capt. William Renton several
years ago. The prices appear to be ex-
tremely reasonable and the terms are
surely 20. Only about twenty more lots
are to be sold at this time, and as they are
among the choicest ones in the addition
they will probably all be sold in a few
days. Crawford g. Conover also make tho
announcement that Squire park is to 60
on the market tomorrow. This is some
thing that many people have been waiting
for. The uniform price of lots 10 $3.50
and the terms easy, with interest At per
cent. As these are the two choicest resi-
dence tracts in the city, the announce
ments referred to are of decided public in

RENT0N-
ADDITION

Will he offered for sale next Tuesday.
March u, and it will be impossible to buy
any before that date. Many persons who
now have homes in Renton Addition have
long had applications in Tor the adjoining
lots and the date of sale is set several
dav, ahead SO that they may have ample
notice.
These lots will be sold under the same
terms and conditions ~ in the. past. The
only condition is that the purchaser shall
be thoroughly respectable.
There is no building condition of any
sort. The terms are, as in the past, one
third cash, one-third on or before one
year and one-third on or before two
years. In this way the deferred payments
may be paid at any time and interest then
ceases.
The title is very simple and as straight
as a string. Every purchaser is sup
piled with an abstract of title and tax
statement and receives his title by
warranty deed from the William
Renton estate. The location is en-
tirely too well known to require
any elucidation. 1t is the highest
point in the city and affords the most
commanding view, including both ranges
of mountains. the harbor, Lake Washing
ton, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker and
Mount Hood. From no other spot in Sc
attic 10 such a magnificent panorama
unfolded. People from other portions
of the city make pilgrimages to Renton
just for the view.
Being 80 high and dry,

and conduct his own case. He got of the
track, however, and commenced to berate
Officer Osborn for arresting him, as he
claimed, out of spite. Several witnesses
testified to the freedom Freddy" had ia
ken with the English language, and the
judge cut proceedings short by filming the
prisoner $50. In default he was committed.
