MODERN FLATS
BEING PLANNED
Splendid Five Story Apartment House
to Cost $4,000 Soon Sto be
in Course Of Erection.

Richmond is to have a modern part
ment house. It will soon be3bult in all
human probability. The plans have been
outlined hy one OF the most prominent
architects in the city. Tfisasame archi-
tect has made an estiamte of the cost OF
the structure. He figures that Sthe neat
sum of $4,000 Will he nee&sed
. The exact location selected: Tor this sHle
house cannot be made public. just yet,
though it is known Neither can the
name of the gentleman who is going 10
have the house built be given. 1tsmight
injure plans, and SO is withheld. But
this can be said that the lot is admirably
located on one of the most desira biesre
dental streets in the city, The flats will
front on the residential street while an
other front will rest on a business street.
The lot is occupied now with three stores,
one of which is a drug store. These
stores will be retained in the: new build
ing Around on the residential street the
front will be artistic and beautiful. The
flats will rise at least five stories. They
will be fitted out with elevator, have .Jan1-
tor attendance for the entire building, be
heated by the most improved means, and
in every way modelled after the apart
ment houses of Washington and Baltf-
more It is. the plan to- have the actual
work of construction to, begin next
spring.
When the gentleman who owns the lot
and who is putting up the money for the
apartment house was considering the
question whether it would pay or not, he
found that the apartment houses of Bal
timcre have paid admirably. Captain M!
j. Dimmock. the veteran architect of
Richmond, said yesterday afternoon that
he, too had looked into the matter of
apartment houses as an avenue OF in
vestment and every one of Washington
or Baltimore who had anything to do
with thoroughly modern flats, had said in
unmistakable terms that they paid
handsomely. People preferred them to
detached houses for the reason that they
r11inimized the expense and trouble of:iv-
ing A Baltimore man told Captain DIM
mock just a, day or two ago that even in
that city, where house rent is SO Glow,
apartment houses pay handsomely.

doubt, so far as the House is concerned.
The claims of either faction would indi-
cate that one element is confident OF
Price becoming Speaker and the other
OF Mckinnon winning, but the reports of
both show that there are Yet votes to
Eet'' by the one who is to become Speak
er. The list of unpledged members has,
however, been reduced to-day to a half
dozen-Crist, Pool, Mcneil, Nihart, Fos-
ter and Lochery. This does not include
many who are said to have pledged them
selves, in writing, to both sides. These
six are said to have made no pledges to
either side, and it is conceded that they
hold the balance of power.
MANY LISTS.
Owing. to the confusicn over lists, there
is talk of a .'round-robin.' There are five
lists: Those pledged to Price, those
pledged to McKinnon,'' "those pledged
to both" those still unpledsed,' those
listed as doubtful which list includes
those pledged to both, as well as those
who are unpedged
If the caucus shall nomina tie by secret
ballot, there will be no way Of verifying
these lists, even after the caucuses are
held, and for that reason viva voce vot-
ing in caucus is being advoca ted.
There was much done to-day from the
homes of Senator Hanna. in Washingto
Senator Foraker, in Cincinnati; Con
gresham Dick, in Akron; Congressman
Taylor, in Columbiana, and others and
especially at Toledo, where Representa-
tive .Denman is still considered by some
as doubtful. There was much commune
cation with all the counties in which
doubtful members reside.
HANNA LEADER.
The most prominent arrival was thai
of George B. Cox, the Cincinnati leader
who insists that he is '.as good a. friend
of Senator Hanna as ever, but that he
was pledged to Price for Speaker before
the junior Ohio Senator broke with Price
and that he is here now to do all heEcar
for Price, and this includes the support
of candidates for clerk and other places
who can bring strength to Price.
The leadership of the anti-Hanna side
was conceded to Cox on his, arrival.

STEEL COMBINE
HASCOAL TO BURN
Has Leased Fifty Thousand Acres
in the Pocahontas
Field.
fRY Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Judge e. H
Gary, of the United States Steel Corpo-
ration, announced to-day that the prop
critics heretofore secured by the man
ayers of the Pocahontas Coal Syndicate,
consisting Of about 100000 acres Of fuel
and cooking coal, had been sold to the
Pocahontas Coal and Coke Company.
which is controlled by the Norfolk and
Western Railway Company. and that 5C.-
900 acres of these lands had been leased
on a royalty basis to companies whose
capital stock is owned or controlled by
the United States Steel Corporation.
Judge Gary said that within the COM
paratively near future there would be
constructed at least three thousand OF
the most modern coke ovens, with q
capacity of at least one and one-half mil
lion tons of coke, together WITH necessary
railroads, tippies, water works, electric
plants, residences, stores and other i'm
provements. The companies controlled
by the United States Steel Corporation
by this lease secured sufficient coal tc
provide, on the present basis Of consump-
ton, for about thirty years.
This, with thu Connellsvills coal now
owned by the company. should furnish
the necessary supply of9coke for upwards
Of sixty years, thus corresponding with
the ironaore supply.

named the Libertador has left this port
for the Venezuelan cost. She carries

is now referred to as General Matos, and
acveral generals and other important per-

three hundred volunteers and it is un-

of other volunteers while on her way to

The behavior of General MatoS and his
adherents, While they were at this port,
was most correct, and when they left

f. De .srs5le& ,FEnre he has ma ny
friends. The local newspapers have pub
1ished articles expressing hopes for the
prompt SUCCESS of the expedition, and
the downfall of Presiden Castro. whose
attitude the papers add, has earned for
him the enmity Of the whole world.
Previous to his departure from Fort

men to take up arms.

The officer in charge of the Ban Righs
