NEW yorI,,, New custom House

Collector George R. Bidwell. of New
York. had a conference with Assistant
Secretary Taylor. of the Treasury Depart
ment, yesterday in regard to the site for
the proposed new custom house. The De-
partment OF Justice recently brought con-
dennation proceedings TO obtain posses
sion OF certain parcels of land included in
the so-called Bowling Green site. hut
there is a hitch in securing title to one or
two OF the parcels. II is expected that the
sale Of the old custom house property
early next month will be an advantageous
one from the Governments point OF view
Assurances have already been received
that three or four bidders viii enter the
competition. and the Treasury Department
has a fairly accurate idea Of the amount
TO be realized from the sale. The lowest
limit fixed by the act Of Congress is S3.O0O,-
eco. but Collector Bidwell and the Treas
ury Department officials expect the sale
will bring from 81. 100000 to si.0O0, 900.

Newport News. Va, June 13.-The Brit
ish steamship Alexandria went up 10 the
shipyard Saturday evening and tied up
at one of the piers. She is taking on parts
of the ten engines built for Sweden by
the Richmond Locomotive Works. Ar
rangements were made with the shipyard
for the use of one of the big dock cranes,
and the work of unloading the parts from
the cars and putting them aboard the ship
which is to carry them across the water
was commenced yesterday.
The Chesapeake and Ohio yesterday sent
in six carloads of machinery Today ten
more cars will be shifted. There are
thirty-two carloads, and they will be tow
ed as rapidly as possible. Owing to the
size of some of the boxes the work of load
ing is necessarily slow. Some OF hem
weigh sixteen tons. No advices about the
other ten engines which are to be shipped
to Copenhagen and there sent into Sweden
have been received. but it is stated authori-
tatively that they will arrive here from
Richmond before the Alexandria finishes
taking on the parts in the first consign-
ment.

main entrance began fully five thousand
persons were crowded into Ellison and
Carroll streets.
