ran into a pier of the Chicago Great

Other gentlemen prominent as arcili-
tects, builders and real estate men were
yesterday asked for an expression Of opin
ION as TO the progress of Richmond in
building during the last year. Below are
given some of their replies:
Marion j. Dimmock. architect, of No.
I'LL East Main Street. said: Building
operations have been unusually large
this year, far surprising those OF the
past two or three years. These operations
have been practically confined to .busj-
ness houses and Office buildings, but there
have been quite a. number: of residences
erected and there is still a demand for
moro. Those that have been built have
been generally homes and few for rental
purposes. What is sorely needed in Rich
1nond is first-class flats and apartment
houses. Everybody is looking for them,
This great demand exists because flats
minimize the trouble and expense of
housekeeping and if capital should be di-
rectedJ this way the return would be.
large. There have been a large number
OF these buildings erected in Baltimore.
and Washington during the last five.
years and they have met with Irprece-
dented success.

There is no doubt that conditions in
real estate are better how in this city
than they have been for ten years II t
is not a boom or anything like it, merely
a good. natural growth The sale Of
property here for immediate Improvement
is better than ever. The trouble, here
now, we have found, is that we can't
get labor. Houses that We have promised
are all delayed Il. month or SO for lack
of men. There is.sa wide field for la bor
of all kinds. particularly in the building
trade, and it seems to be Impossible to
get it. Every man could be used,
J. 4. Wilson, builder. OF Main and
Eleventh Street: There is no doubt that
building i'll Richmond this year has been
held down considerably by strikes. as
we'll as by the high price of materials
We have had four strikes this year,5paint-
ers, carpenters, brick-layers. stone-work-
ers. plumbers and all allied trades having
been out. This, in connection with the
great steel strike, whicl. affected building
all over the country has been bad for
us. but in spite of it there has been a
substantial movement forward. Now that
labor conditions have settled down SONG

Julesburg, Colo, May 29.-The presi-
Dental train made the third days u
on the homeward journey without in
cident. Brief stops were made for
water and to change engines at Raw
Inns. Laramie and Cheyenne, Wyo., and
Kimball and Sydney, Neb. The presi-
dent made no remarks at n Of these
places, but appeared pom the rear
platform and shook hands with some Of
those nearest the car. Mrs. Mckinley
is standing the trip very we'll and
seems rejoiced that every hour brings
her nearer home. At Sydney, Neb., the
president and the cabinet received the
official information that the supreme
court had decided the insular cases, in
accordance with the contentious Of the
government. The news came in the
shape OF a telegram from Solicitor
General John K. Richards. It was
brief, however, and contained no de-
tails beyond the. bare announcement
that the administration had been sus-
tanned. Naturally the president and
the cabinet officers were elated at the
victory. although they have never
doubted that the decision would be in
favor Of the government. The mem
bers of the cabinet aboard the train
declined to exprss their opinions for
publication in advance of a perusal of
the text of~the opinion.

Senators Benjamin r. Ttllman 2
John L. McLaurin have resigned their
high Offices, to take effect on Sept.sls
next, The resignations, which nave
beer forwarded to Gov. insolvency
and are already beyond recall, resulteo
from an acrimonious political debate
in this city, the elimination OF & pit
ter fractional fight long existing pc
tween the two senators, who represent
the rival divisions of the Democracy III
the South. In Saturdays debate
where McLaurin charged Tillman mao
no business to appear, personalities anu
strong language were used with noeral-
ity. The senior senator's declaration
that the reelection of McLaur1n Woulc
be taken as meaning that n people
could not indorse him (Tillman), was
followed by McLaurin's suggestion that
both resign and go before the electors
OF the state for inGt rsement. Senator
Tillmar agreed and went farther than
McJ4aurin in that he left h race open
to all candidates, refusing to sign an
agreement that the governor should
APPOINT him or his rival to the office
when the voters named their choice.
It is understood that Senator NC
Laurin and Senator Tillman have a
tacit agreement to contest for the
long term to which Tillman was elected
last January. Under the state Demo-
cratic party rules the candidate must
designate specifically the office to
which he aspires. Whether McLaurin
wins over Tillman or Tillman Is re-
elected, McLalin's unexpired term Will
be filled by q new man.

AS a matter Of fact, the United States
is at this time, in reality, through the
operations Of the foreign exchange
market, borrowing from Europe, al
though this debt, represented by long
sterling, will be settled later in, the
season, as u grain and cotton crops,
which are still to be harvested, are
