TWO LARGE DEALS
Made in Business Property in
the City.
ON NORTH MAIN STREET
Wichita Men Invest in Blocks
for Mercantile Purposes.

There were two big real estate deals
On the carpet for some days past, but are
low about as good as closed up. One of
she pieces Of property is a business block
On the west side of North Main, No. 24l.
The property has been lr-rcnased by A
z. Sweet, the creamery man. from w. F.
Frazier of Fl Dorado, and the considera-
hon paid was 5000 and taxes.
! Mr.. Sweet intends to complete the in
terior upper floors and remodel the store
Soor which is at present occupied by the
NJ H Burt Cycle company. Mr.. Burt
viii continue to occupy the lower part.
Another piece of business property has
been sold in the same vicinity. the build
ing on the east side Of the same block,
No. DO, has been sold to Peter Getto for
5000 and was purchased from the Con-
cordia Loan and Trust company Both
Of these deals were made through the
real estate agency Of Reese & Co. There
are one or TWO more large realty transac-
tions on hand. One of them IS a large
corner property on one of the main bust
ness streets. Another is a deal that is
not quite finished for the exchange Of a
large apartment house in this city for
property in Massachusetts.
Numerous smaller transactions have
been made during the past week and
Wichita property will soon be in the
hands Of owners who have made the in
vestments during the past year for perm
Rnent ones. Property is being withdrawn
from the market every week, and from
the present outlook there must sooner
or later be another rise in prices and Of
5ers to get the realty market to move.
Of course there are any number of pieces
of resident and business property that
can be purchased, but that which IS be
ing sold at q fair valuation is property
that is selected TO suit the purposes of
the business IN which the purchasers are
engaged.

McNa1lv Nav BE Director.

Freeholder Frank McNally is frequent
visitor at City Hall. He is slated, It IS
reported, for the Directorship of the
Board. Treehoider Heating would like to
be Director but It is said a majority Of
the new members are already pledged to
McNally The Democratic majority in
the Board is SO great that some fear
is entertained that combinations will be
formed. So far as is IN his power Lead
er Davis will prevent any such move
ment. He wants the Freeholders to work
together harmoniously The committees
will be appointed as equitably as possible.
Such patronage as there is to be disposed
of will also be distributed with fairness.
The principal contest will be for the
cIerkship of the Board. Maurice Stack of
Hoboken, is a candidate. and is giving
John P Noonan, the assistant clerk, a hard
fight Mr.. Stack was looking for the
County Clerkship nomination next fall.
He is said to have abandoned the idea of
capturing it. The clerkship of the Board
of Freeholders pays 5000 and is more
certain than the County Clerkship. The
Freeholders win caucus next week and
it is likely a slate will be made up that
will be entirely satisfactory to all the
members Of the Board.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
The War Has Not Delayed the SUR
xavs to any Extent.

NEW YORK, Nov IL, 1S9S.-It is learned
that the war with Spain has not delayed
the surveys of the Nicaragua Canal to
anv appreciable extent and practically all
parties have sent in their notes to be
plotted. AT present the surveys of both
the east and west entrances ar so far
complied that accurate estimates can be
based upon them OF the various pro-
posed dam-sites nothing definite has been
decided as yet This is owing to the diff
ferent circumstances governing each one,
At Machuca, for instance, there is very
little sand and silt between the bed Of
the river and hard rock suitable for the
foundation of a heavy masonry dam. At
Ochoa a great depth of sand and silt
intervenes between the hard rock and
the river bottom. A dam built at this
SPOT would have to be very heavy and
deep. reaching clear to the hard rocky
bottom. The river here offers the best
facilities. outside Of this great depth of
sand. for dam site. but it Is probable
that the cost Of digging to such great
depth might make it inadvisable to use
this site. AT Machuca the geogra aphical
formation shows the soft rock strata rum
ming at a, slant Of forty-five degrees to
the perpendicular OF course a dam built
On the sand would not stand the heavy
strain and then comes the question OF
expense again.
At Lower Ochoa there is sixty-five feet
.of soft material on the river bed, and the
geographical information shows sort Of
pocket. This site is open to discussion
and will probably be held as advisable
by some engineers.

THE RACE RIOTS.
Federal Authorities Sa,.
They Have No Power
to Interfere.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12, 1SsS.-Except
in the unlocked for event of a recurrence
of the race rfoting in the Carolinas, it is
altogether improbable that the Govern
rnent viii interfere by force or otherwise.
The Attorney General had another con-
ference with the President this morning
in regard to the matter, and the con-
clusion was promptly reached that as the
demonstrat tions were not directed against
the Collector of Customs in the perform
ance Of his duties as such. the Govern
ment had no authority, under the Con-
stitution or laws, to exercise its Federal
authority.
Collector Tolbert was shot while away
form. his home, and on business entirely
disconnected from that of his office, and
under these circumstances the Govern
ment, it is said, has not a shadow of right
to interfere II the Collector had been
shot in the discharge of his official duties
and in an effort to enforce the laws OF
the United States, the case would nave
been very different, and the duty of the
Government would have been clear In
the present case, however, 1t is said, the
lawless acts of the mob were not directed
against the execution of the laws OF the
United States. but against the Individual
The case would have been the same had
Tolbert been shot on the highway by a
robber.
administration officials have no SYM

gard their acts with abhorrence, but up

BOARD OF FRE[HOLDERS
Creditors Delighted by the
Transfer Of Balances to
Incidental Account.

The Board of Freeholders held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon and delighted the
hearts of many Of the county's creditors
by transferring all the unexpended bal
ances to the incidental account in order
to pay claims These balances did not
aggregate sufficient amount to pay all
the claims, and consequently some of the
creditors win have to wait while longer.
When the roll was called all the mem
bers answered to their names except
Freeholders Kelly, Klein, Plercy. Seyer,
Tremble Wilson and verdon. A comuni-
Rooney, Of the Board of Health, that DR..

absence Of DR.. Hendrick. James Stillwell,
an employe on the Fourth street bridge,
served a formal notice on the Board that
he is veteran and protected by the vet

the Circuit Court for s286.62 for salaries,

year The claims were not paid at the
time they were presented, because the ap-
preparation had been exhausted, and the
Board was then under indictment for ex-
ceeding its appropriations. The judgment
was ordered paid. The Beard was also
notified that Daniel Downes, the shoe
contractor, had obtained a. judgment for

GRAND ARMY MEN DISAGREE.

PATERSON, Nov. u, 1ssS.-F'arragut
Post, No. 2S, Grand Army of the Republic,
held campfire Wednesday night at its
rooms in Sons of Veterans Hall. Twelve
posts were represented, including the
three local ones. Garfield and Lincoln posts
of Newark and Van Houten Post of Jer-
sey City sent delegations of considerable
size The especial occasion was an official
visit from Department Commander W. G..
Smith. OF Plainfeid, who said among
other things
What the Grand Army needs is greater
interest among the comrades. There are
in New Jersey about $4,000 men who
served in the War OF the Rebellion. Of
this number there are but $500 connected
with Grand Army posts. The greatest
number we ever had was 1900 :
Past Department Commander Milliken
of Lincoln Post, Newark, advocated the
admission of the Sons of Veterans to
make the Grand Army q perpetual in
stitution, and urged that soldiers of the
last war should also be eligible to mem
bership
Past Department Commander Charles
Burrows of Rutherford, dissented from
these views 'aThe Grand Army of the
Republic" said he, should cease to exist
when the last man that fought in the
War of the Rebellion passes away" The
sentiment of the company appeared to
be on Comrade Burrows side. He also
differed from the idea of the department
commander that members of the order
should urge old soldiers to come in. "Our
work speaks for itself. We are respected
and honored. Let those wishing to join
our order seek U.S." Mr. Burrows was
loudly applauded.
Brigadier General John Ramsey, Of Jer-
sey City, and Adjutant John T. Hilton
of the Second New Jersey V6hunteer IN
fantry, also had a little controversy
General Ramsey disparaged the .yolun-
teers of the Spanish war. He told how
his command of 1900 men built forts and
did other hard manual labor in the Civil
War with but little sickness. People
have an idea,' he said, that to clothe
a man in uniform and put a gun in his
hand makes him soldier"
When Adjutant Hilton's turn came to
speak, he made these remarks.-
THE men of 'sS are as good men and
as good soldiers as those of 81. To dis
parge them is to disparge your own sons,
and where is the Grand Army man that
is willing to admit that his precepts and
teachings have so far miscarried? There
is no difference between the men who
fought at Gettysburg and in the Wilder
ness and those that climbed San Juan
Hill and laid down their lives in the few
er-ridden trenches of Santiago.

CRITICISM OF ESSEX COUNTY

The challenge of Leader Davis to the
Republicans for recount, he to pay one
half the cost has had the effect OF clos
ing the mouths Of those Republican sore
heads who were yawping about fraudu-
lent work at the polls on election day
Leader Davis offer holds good, and VIII
hold good for another month. He says
he is anxious to give the Republicans ev-
cry possible opportunity to find out II
frauds were committed. The refusal OF
the Republicans to reply to the chal-
lenge has caused astonishment as many
people were inclined to the belief that
the cry Of fraud emanated from Repub-
lican headquarters and was based on
something more substantial than air.
prominent Republican said this
morning that the leaders of his party
were well aware that no fraud was com
mitted. and that they were shouting
merely to have some excuse for having
been so fearfully beaten. On the au-
thority of Republican who has con-
siderable to do with the operation OF
that party's machinery, it is stated that
there will be no recount. The same man
admits that a recount would, without
question, put the Republicans in a worse
light than they stand at present The
voting in some of the Republican strong
holds was as mysterious as 1t was ex-
tensive. There is a suspicion that some
enterprising gentlemen voted oftener
than is allowed by law.

JUDGE DAY BETTER.
IBv Cable to the Associated Press. j

[By Gable to the Associated Press.l
PARIS, Nov. Il, 1s9S.-It is now believed
that the next meeting of the Peace Com
mission may be postponed until Tuesday
next, though no definite decision has been
arrived at on the subject.
The Spanish Commissioners are still
busily engaged in the preparation of the
documents which they will submit at the
next session of the Commissioners, and
it is understood that their prese entation
will cover matters which render their
careful preparation unusually important.
Some of the original papers and trans
cripts necessary for the next presentation
of Spains case will probably not arrive
here until too late on Monday to permit
would necessitate the postponement of the
next meeting of the Commissions until
Tuesday.
The health of Judge Day. President of
the American Commission, was much
improved this morning.

CABINET MEETING.
Called in Special Session
Belief That Spain Will
Soon Yield.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 1s9S.-A special
meeting Of The Cabinet is in progress.
The State Department is informed unof-
fieially, that Judge Day is Ill in Paris, a
long report was received by cable from
him this morning relative to the work of
the Commission, but 1t made no mention
of the physical condition of the sender
whence the Department infers that he is
not seriously i'll, and it is supposed that
ne is simply in need of rest.
It is believed that at the next meeting
Of the Joint Commission the Spaniards
will yield one important step; they will
run at least tacitly, by beginning the ar
gument Of the question, recede from their
refusal to allow the question of the SOW
ereignity of Spain over the Philippines to
be questioned. If this surmise is well
founded. then the two Commissions will
be brought face to face with the adj
justment of the details of proposition
for the transfer of the Philippines to
the United States, sufficiently complex TO
warrant the expectation tha several more
sessions of he Commission will be required
for its adjustment.
The attitude of the insurgents in the
Philippines has given the Administration
considerable uneasiness, for it is feared
that if these insurgents are allowed to
continue their hostile activity there may
be protests which we shall be compelled
to regard The difficulty in the situa-
ton is that the insurgents are operating
at points outside the Island of Luzon,
where the United States has never been
in actual possession, and where it would
be difficult to place troops to maintain
the status quo. Nevertheless it is be-
lieved to be incumbent upon our govern
ment to do something in this direction
and the military and naval authorities
at Manila will be so advised.
