Sale of f Street Property.

The sale of valuable piece Of real estate
on that busy thoroughfare, street. which
was recorded yesterday, is the subject Of
general gossip today. The property in
question Is that located at No. 1924 F
street, three doors east of 18th, now occu-
pied by A. GUIDE & Brother, the florists
The lot is twenty by eighty feet in dimen-
sions, improved by an attractive four-story
and attic building, and was sold by Mr.
Jesse l.. Heiskell of the firm of Heiskell
McLeran to Mr.. w. ]. Kehoe for the
sum of $4,000, subject to trust of $4,000
and lease. which has nine years to rum
of A. GUIDE & Bro. The investment of Mr.
kehoe Is regarded as an excellent one, as
GUIDE & Bro. pay 5000 per annum rent
on their lease and also pay the taxes on
the property. The building occupying the
property Is new comparatively and cost
$11. The area Of the lot is 1000 square
feet. Deduct'ng the cost of the building
from the price paid 1t will be seen that the
land brought within fraction of $25 per
square foot. which Is regarded as a very
good price for the property.

FOR CURRENCY REFORM
Secretary Gage to Present Plan at the Reg
ular Session.
Retirement of Greenbacks and En-
Favored-Surplus as a Factor.

1t is important to the general policy of
the administration that the tariff shall
produce a surplus of revenue. For this
reason II was with reluctance that the re-
publican senatorial caucus gave up the
proposition to increase the tax on beer and
to tax tea Whether the proposed tax on
stock and bond transactions will be suffi-
cient to make up the difference is uncer-
tain, but the conclusion was that it would
be much more popular tax. At all events
Until the revenue producing qualities of the
new tariff have been determined the ad-
n1inistration and Congress will not be in a
position to determine definitely what shall
be done with respect to reforms in the cur
reEcy system
The purpose of the administration is to
procure the retirement of the greenbacks
and the enlargement of the bank currency
as speedily possible, in order to guard
against renewal of the operation of the
endless chain which so troubled the last
administration.
1t is practically certain that no legisla-
ton looking to the retirement of the green
backs can be got out of Congress, and it
is doubtful whether legislation favorable
to bank currency can be secured. The sill
yer people have declared that no such legis-
lation shall go through the Senate, and as
that body is now constituted, and, indeed.
as long as the present rules are in force
thty VIII nave the power 10 enforce this
inhibition.
In the absence of affirmative legislation,
the only means of holding the reinsurance
of greenbacks in restraint is by having
suf1cient revenue to enable the treasury to
hold back as a surplus in the treasury all
greenbacks redeemed or received in pay
nent of revenue. The amount of surplus
which the tariff bill can be made to pro-
duce VIII measure the amount of green
backs that can be held back from re.ssu-
ance. If large surplus. of revenue can
not be produced by the new tariff, the
greenback question Is liable to prove per
picking to the administration
The Secretary of the Treasury will I'M
douotedly present plan of currency re-
form, which the President will recon-
mend to Congress at the beginning of the
regular session. but there are serious OBJ
s.aci.s 70 any currency legislation, even
though 1t includes the use of silver below
the denomination of s., as the President
mas had II in his mind to suggest

It IL the ambition Of every good whist
player to be at the annual meet where he

be most serious. For instance, unless
there be a legally appointed and lawfully

here no one can be released from prison
here, under the provisions Of what is
known as the poor debtors act
And, what is more, no one can be COM

A Serious Question. -"f'
THE question is a most serious one, and
Congress should remove all doubt as to the
power and authority of the District Su-
preme Court in the matter by Immediately
comforting In express terms the necessary
power and authority. Unless that is done,
the appointments made. and which may be
made by the court subsequent to June 30,
1897, Will be questioned and attacked, and
the administration Of justice seriously i'm
peded, and perhaps destroyed"
1t Is known that before making the ap-
pointments rendered necessary by the act
OF May %, 1895. the District Supreme Court
carefully examined into the matter and
finally decided that 1t was, and is, fully
authorized and empowered to make them
The court, it is said, found its claimed
authority and power in sections 760 and 762
Of the Revised Statutes relating to the
District of Columbia. Section 100 provides
that the Supreme Court of the District
shall possess the same powers and exer-
else the same jurisdiction as the circuit
courts Of the United States" while section
162 provides that any one of the Justices of
the Supreme Court of the District of CO.
lumbia may hold a special term, with the
same powers and jurisdiction possessed
and exercised by district courts of the
United States"
The appointments made since June 30.
1897, were made by a member of the Dis
tr1ct Supreme Court Judge Cox), holding a
special term of the District Court.

The water was Immediately taken out, and
the contractors notified that the defects
would have to be made good.
The contractors claim that the work was
done according to specifications, and this is
the question that will have to be settled
between them and the engineer. The mem
bers of the council state positively that
they have on hand money enough and to
spare to build two or three towers and that
no more will be paid until the work. Is de-
livered to them in a perfectly satisfactory
condition. While there is disappointment
among the people Of the town at the failure
of the standpipe. to work satisfactorily,
there does not appear to be the least doubt
but that the council will stand firmly by
the terms Of the contract, and that, al
though there will doubtless be a temporary
delay, the work will be completed in an
entirely satisfactory manner.
1t Is expected that Monday meeting of
the council. the engineer and the con-
tractors will be held here, when definite
action in the matter will be taken.

RECIPROCITY AGREED TO.
The Senate Adopts the Clause in the
Tariff Bill.


Tariff Bill.
Reciprocity and retaliation were the two
phases of the tariff bill to occupy the at
tention Of the Senate yesterday, to the
exclusion of all other subjects. Both pro-
visions were agreed to. although the de-
bate on the reciprocity clause was pro-
tracted to pm. Shortly before adjourn
ment Mr.. Allison endeavcred to secure an
agreement on the time for final vote, but
Mr.. Teller would rot consent to fixing the
time until all proposed amendments had
been submitted to the Senate. AS Mr.. AL
lison was not prepared to submit these
amendments, he withdrew his request, and
the time for the fir al vote was left open.
The reciprocity clause empowers the
President. with the advice and consent of
the Senate, to make reciprocity treaties
giving 20 Der cent reduction in duties on
designated articles, or placing articles on
the free list.
The amendment brought out much oppo-
sition, Senators Mills, Vest, Pettus. Teller
and White arguing that it evaded the con-
stitutional right Of the House of Represen-
tat1ves to participate in measures affecting
revenue, while Senators Morgan, Gray and
Chandler defended its legality and pro-
priety.
