THE TENLEYTOWN ROAD.
The Final Contamination of the Deal
Not Yet Reached.

The negotiations for the purchase of a
controlling interest in the Georgetown and
Tenleytown railroad. as mentioned in yes
terday's Star, were not concluded yester-
day. 1t is stated that the proposed pur-
chasers raised the question as to whether
under the charter, the right to occupy
the Georgetown pike is still good. A por-
ton of the track is still on private prop
erty, and the company has not awaited
itself of the privilege conferred by act of
Congress to use the public road Without
completing the deal. the parties in interest
decided yesterday to defer final action in
order to give the proposed purchasers an
opportunity to look into this natter and
determine exactly how the interests of the
road are affected. A further conference
was held today. and it was stated this
afternoon that the difficulty referred to
vas satisfactorily adjusted. The final con-
summation of the deal. however, was not
accomplished. but it is believed that this
result will be reached,

THE REPORT ON QUINCY
What a Member of the Printing Committee
Says of It.
The Action of the Ex-Assistnnt Secre-
COmmissie ner Criticised.

The statement which was published in a
New York paper yesterday to the effect
that the committee on printing, of which
Senator German is chairman, had made a
report in the matter of the Investigation Of
the relations of Josiah Quincy to the lith-
ographic company needs some modifica-
tons. The committee has not yet made
its report. Senator German said last night :
THE report that has been published. is. pre-.
mature and erroneous" And Mr.. German
intimated that it had been published
through a breach of faith.
What the Report Does Show.
A member Of the committee said: "What
has happened is this: The members of
the committee with the exception of Ran
som. who is now in the diplomatic service
and might not care to sign the report,
have completed a report. which is in the
desk of Mr.. German and has been signed.
AS to Quincy the report does not find that
Quincy had an interest in this Iithogfaphic
company as stakeholder, but the commit
tee does say that he had loaned consfdera-
Bile sums of money to Kenney, the chief
incorporation and manager Of the ccm-
pany. and introduced him to Seymour, COM
missioner of patents; that when the COM
pany was awarded the contract for-the
patent office printing IN an irregular way
Mr.. Quincy, although assistant secretary OF
state was persistent at all times in en-
deavorlng to secure money Tor this COM
pany from the Treasury Department., he
being q large creditor of kenney: that at
the time the company was organized, which
was almost at the moment that the con-
tract was awarded, there had only been
$500 paid into the capital stock. while Ken
ney, who was the nominal company, owed
to Quincy a large sum.
THE report, in short, while stating that 1t
was not discovered that Quincy was an
actual Stocknolder in the company, does
find that he Was the creditor of the nominal
owner for a large amount. and, while as
sistant secretary of state, urged another
branch of the government to make large
payments to the man who was much in
his debt. The criticism of Quincy in this
respect is very severe. Technically he did
not violate the law, in that he was not
working for himself; but he was working
to aid man who was largely in debt to
him.
Commissioners Seymour Criticized.
The committee also criticise Seymour the
commissioner of patents, very severely.
They find that, by irregular methods. he
discovered what the Peters Co. would bid.
and by placing their letter on file, instead
of opening it in the presence of all other
bidders, as is usual, gave other bidders in
formation in effect to what the bid Of
the Peters Co. was to be, and thus showed
unlawful favoritism. The committee also
criticise the commissioner for the removal
of Marvin, the Massachusetts man, who
exposed the bad work of the Kenney-
Quincy Company, and refused to accept it,
on which account he was discharged. AL
together the report is severe arraignment
of Quincy and of his extraordinary
methods.

THE SENATE'S GENEROSITY
Two Appropriations Made for the Govern
ment Printing Office.
One to Erect a Building on the Pres
emit Lot and the Other on the
Malone Site.

The Serate has seldom shown such a
spirit of generosity as has been exhibited
during the past few days in its dealings
with the question of providing new quar-
tiers for the government printing office. It
has been really almost lavish, and has ap-
propriated no less than 500. 121 80 in order
that full and adequate relief may be given
to the present overcrowded printing house
Of the government. So liberal has been the
Senate that it has selected two different
sites within the week for printing office
purposes.
The First Appropriat ton.
The Senate began operations by adopting
an amendment to the sundry civil appro-
priation bill appropriating the sum of
$12l,121.9O to be Immediately available for
the purpose Of erecting on the lot belong
ing to the United States, now occupied by
the printing Office stables. a fre-proof build
ing. according to the plans submitted by
cember. This appropriation isdhow in con-
ference, as is also one that was added to
the general deficiency bill last evening on
the same subject.
Gen. MahOne's Work.
This second appropriation, which was
adopted by the Senate through the media
ton of Gen. William Malone of Virginia,
aided by his son and list of the Senator's
gives $25e,0e0 for the purchase of the
ground at the corner of North Capitol and
NJ streets. and for the erection thereon of a
Few printing Office building. 1t is within
the range of possibility that both Of these
appropriations may be enacted into law,
and then, indeed, will the printing office
problem be solved with vengeance. How
ever, this contingency is not probable, as
the belief is growing that the deficiency
bill. which was yesterday piled so high with
amendments to be made quite top-heavy.
may be overturned in the sea Of conference
and finally swamped in the rush of the
last tide Of Congress
Distasteful to the House.
Among the elements that are now con-
tributing to render such an event likely is
this very printing office amendment, which
is extremely distasteful to the House, af-
ter the action of the latter body few
days ago in defeating the Malone site bill.
Gen. Malone was on duty again today in
the lobby of the Senate but without his
son. There was no longer any necessity for
keeping tab on Sena tors, for the great can
vass had been made, and the question now
rests entirely with six people, three men,
the Senate. constituting the conference
committee on the deficiency bill. Gen. Ma
hone can easily keep tally of this small
number en- his own fingers, and hence the
services of an assistant were not needed

Wall Street Prices Lower From
Weakness in London.
VOLUME OF BUSINESS RESTRICTED
Gossip Regarding the Condition of
the B. and O.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. March 2-Ante-opening adj
vices from London this morning reflected
a lower range of values for international
securities, with st. Paul the feature on
unfavorable rumors relative to dividend
prospects In sympathy with the weak
ness IN the foreign market, prices on this
side reflected declines over closing figures
varying from IA to u per cent. The volume
of business. as on the preceding days of
the week. was restricted and activity in
the main detrimental to values. Renewed
selling of New Jersey Central resulted in a
decline Of 3-4 per cent from opening fig
ures; Northwest and st. Paul each lost u
per cent, and elsewhere railway shares
were dull and irregular.
An interesting feature of the week, and
one that is destined to attract more serious
consideration, has been the declining ten
dency of Baltimore and Ohio on a COM
paratively small volume of business As
compared with the prices prevailing at the
opening Of the week. the closing figures to-
day reflect loss of IL per cent 1t is
the prevailing opinion among a small and
usually well-informed circle of experienced
operators that crisis is approaching in
the affairs of this company, the outcome of
which is likely to be an enforced suspen-
sion of dividend disbursements
The pooling bill would have tided over
the present emergency, but, relying on its
own resources, as the defeat of the bill in
question compels it to do, the company's
immediate prospects are not encouraging
1t is expected that the facts on which this
opinion is based will be recited in detail
for the benefit of all concerned within the
next few days.
General Electric was weak under renew
ed rumors relative to the expected decision
OF the Supreme Court. The balance of the
industrial group was strong on limited
transactions.
The foreign exchange market has been
cautiously watched during the week by
reason of the steady advance in rates to
the gold exporting point. The financial
world only regained its confidence in the
bond syndfcate's ability to stay an outward
movement after Thursdays advance in
rates. The Offering of bills by representa-
t1ves of the syndicate was then equal to
the pressure Of the demand, and rates re-
Taxed slightly.
The sharp advance in money during the
final hour yesterday to per cent is ad-
ditional evidence that the syndicate will
fulfill its obligations to the government,
even though it must advance interest rates
SO as to outweigh the attractiveness of
foreign investments. and put gold specula-
ton on an Improbable basis.
The bank statement shows a loss of 81
100000 in lawful money. all in specie and
1t is nearly Offset in the deposits by the in
crease In loans. The reduction in the re-
serve brings that item down to S2SOO00 GOA.
The statement in detail follows: Reserve
decreased s1,76S,2 loans increased ST.

increased $5.04620O. deposits decreased

1t developed this afternoon that the mis-

American Citizen named Charles w. Rem
