THE 5rRo5Ecr HsAsDosED.
Last Enort to- Exchange Lands by
- H0snifRl Auth0rftien.

~ H0sp1t&l Authorities,
A last effort, made on behalf Of the
government to effect an exchange of
ground with the owners of Pencote woods.
at Congress Heights, for the purpose of Sc
curing site for some of the buildings of
the addition to the Government Hospital
for the 1nsanee has come to naught. DR..
A. b. Richardson, the superintendent of
the hospital, has returned from New York.
where he had an interview regarding the
proposed exchange with R.. T. Wilson. who
has interests in the land at Congress
Heights. - - -
Dr.. Richardson placed before Mr.. Wilson
tEo propositions for an exchange of the
asylum farm land for portion Of the
woodland Mr.. Wilson viewed both favor
ably, 1t is stated, after it had been ex-
planned to him that all hope of having
congress provide for the purchase of
the ground had failed. When DR.. Rich
ardson left Mr.. Wilson :. there appeared
TO be good chance of effecting
the trade. Yesterday. however, a letter
was received at the Interior Department
BY Judge Ryan from Mr.. Wilson, in which
the latter stated that he had no desire to
make an exchange, as he preferred to sell
the land This, it is said, will be the end
OF all the negotiations for the exchange.
1t was felt that Mr. Wilson should be made
before the matter was entirely closed and
Dr. richardson's visit to him accomplished
this. Now. 1t Is stated, as the government
mas exhausted every effort in the premises
the work on the new buildings will be
pushed to completion.
