made thorough examination yesterday
into the cause of the fire which DESTROYED
the earshed of the lexington and Soldiers
Home Railway and badly damaged the
home of John Huddleson, on Saturday
night. He went carefully over the ground
noting every detail, and finally arrived al
the conclusion that the fire was due to an
accident.
In his report to police headquarters on
the result of his examination the sergeant
says: Il find that the origin of the fire
at lexington last Saturday night was nc
doubt in consequence of some electrical
appliances of the Maryland car catching
fire. This car had been turned in Just pre-
vious to the outbreak of the fire and had
been left standing near the door at that
portion of the building where the fire orig
mated"
w. Kesley Schoepf vice president of the
railway company. said last night that
there was no suspicion of incendiarism.
He had not learned of the report of Sergt
Slattery and stated that in his opinion the
fire probably originated from lighted ci-
gar stump carelessly thrown inside the
building.
There was no interruption of the traf-
fic on the roads operated by the railway
company yesterday as a consequence of
the fire, and cars were running all day on
a full schedule.

IMPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.
A Report From the Treasury Burenu
of Statistics.


Imports of manufactures into the United
States in the fiscal year 1895 were 50 per
cent less than those of 1855. although the
population had increased % per cent
meantime The Treasury bureau of
statistics, which presented last week a
table showing the growth in the exports
of manufactures from 1S6S to 1898, has now
prepared a similar table, showing the i'm
ports of manufactures in the same period.
While this indicates that the imports of
manufactures in 1898 were much larger
than those of 1868 or 1878. IL shows that in
1898 they were fully 80 per cent below
those of 1883. In 1855 the total import of
manufactures was S325, ,e00.o01, and in 1898
but $22s. 600 600. while the total export of
manufactures which in 1858 was sl30. 0.G00. 600
was in 1898 over s29l, 10000. The total ex-
port of manufactures in 1898 S-1xas not only
the largest in our history. but for the first
time was greater than the imports of
manufactures, the total export of manu-
factures being S291, EOS, ,35S. and the total i'm
port of manufactures s229. .99f. .2Sl.
Two tables. showing the growth of eX-
ports of manufactures and decrease of
imports of this class of goods reveals
some, interesting facts. Imports of iron
and steel manufactures which in 1868 were
$4,000 600. and in 1855 si9,00o.000, were in
1895 less than sl3,00o,e0O, while exports of
this class of manufactures increased from
less than sliOOO, COO in 1868 to N1.ooo.o0o in
|, 1883 and s7000e.OoO in 1895. Silk manufac-
lures, of which the importations in 1855
were $33. 900. .O00 dropped to s23 100000 in
1898, while the importations of raw SILK

day last week. said that in 4 large num-
Der of instances which he called to mind
II is not Intentional on the part of the
owners. 1t is a rare thing, he said, that a
building intended for residence is ever
constructed according to the plans origi-
nally submitted by the architect.
The changes, he said. are usually the
result of the differences of taste of the
members of the family of the owner. AS
soon as building intended for resi-
dence reaches the first story in its con-
struction. often before, the members of
the family of the owner, the contractor
said, are brought around to inspect it
and incidentally to make suggestions as
to alterations in the original plans. The
result of these visits in nine cases out
of ten is that after the family holds a
conference at home after the visit the
builder is called upon to make some
change in the original plans.
So it will be seen that the architects,
contractors and builders of the city are
not alone responsible for the innumerable
number of styles of architecture to be
found In every section of this city of
magnificent distances" but that. they are
due entirely to the great variety and ex-
cellence of taste of the persons under
whose direction the buildings were erect
ed. Hundreds of the residential buildings

dence that there is any similarity in the

THE CONSOLIDATION RUMoR.
Burning of the lexington Railway
Shed Reyiyes IT.

The destruction of the car shed of the
on Saturday night has revived the rumor
which went the rounds few days ago
II reference to the consolidation of sew
G1l of the local street railroad compa-
Hiea. The burning of the car shed, how
ever, plays no part in the story except
q it suggested that the company to
0hich it belonged would not make any
Preparations to rebuild until 1t was de-
termined whether or not the proposed
consolidation would be consummated. In
1iat event, it is said, the shed, when
Abuilt, will be erected in different
ilace. where ii would better serve the
lterests of the new combine.
From what can be learned. the proposed
consolidation of city and suburban street
railroads will practically take in nearly
all the street railway lines in the city,
but Will, nevertheless, traverse all the
resident and business thoroughfares. as
well as extend to some of the suburban
resorts. The scheme, Ii is said is being
promoted by the City and Suburban
Railroad people, who but recently pur-
chased the lexington and Soldiers Home
halfway. This purchase will give them
an entrance to the city over the lines
of that road, but IL is believed that the
management of the Suburban is also de-
sirous of gaining an entrance in another
direction. With this purpose in view it
is rumored that those interested in the
Suburban have their eyes upon the Ana
costa and Potomac Railway, which will
be offered for sale very soon.
Having obtained control of these lines.
the next step will be, it IS said, to effect
combination with the Metropolitan
Raiiroad, either by a consolidation of in
teresls or by transfer and thus virtually
soeeIh the street railway traffic of the
District of Columbia.

BUILDINGS OF THE CITY
Notable Work of Many Wash
ington Architects.
THEIR STYLES ARE VARIED
Except in Rare Cases There Are
Few Houses Built Alike-The Same
Thing Noticeable In Public ana
Private structures-Variety Makes
One of the Attractive Features
of the City.

Tn all the large cities of the world the
stvle of architecture of the buildings Is
as varied as the ingenuity of the human
mind can plan or conceive, and In thls
respect the Capital City of the nation Is
no exception. This dissimilarity of archi-
tectural design in its buildings both public
and residential however, is perhaps the
crowning feature of beauty in Wash
ington.
IT is estimated that within the city
limits there are nearly sixty thousand
buildings, great and small, and, except
where they have been built in blocks
for speculation, 1t is rarely that TWO
buildings are found erected on the same
architectural lines. Even where build
ings have been erected by spectators or
bona fide residents as a safe investment,
often a break can be seen in the archi-
tectural design.
The plan of construction of the resi-
Dental buildings in the city is more a
matter of taste and convenience on the
part of the owner than any effort to
follow an established style of archi-
lecture.
While this is true of the private build
ings, it is also true of all the Govern
ment buildings, no two of which are COLI
structed on the same plan or according to
any established style of architecture
either ancient or modern. Nor is any one
plan of building adhered to in any par
ticular section of the city.
While there may be a similarity of de-
sign seen in the construction of the resi-
dences in certain localities close inspec-
ton of the buildings will prove that so
far as architectural lines are concerned
they are as different one from the other
