Reports from Washington are to the
effect that the Irrigation bill will be
enacted by Congress at this session.
The Western members claim that they
have as much right to irrigation at the
public expense as other sections of the
country have to river and harbor i'm
provements. Certainly, there is far
more to commend the irrigation scheme
than can be urged in favor of the sub
sidy grab.

ELECTION INYALIDATED.

After an exciting debate the French
Chamber of Deputies yesterday by 27s
to 235 votes inyalidated the election Of
Count Boni de Castellane as member OF
the House. The question came up when
the committee on contested elections
presented its report without recommen-
dation, leaving the Chamber to pass
npon the question.
Emile Chauyin made bitter attack
onsCount de Castellane, declaring he had
been guilty of irregularities and saying
that the count had accused his opponent
of being of German descent and Drey-
fusard. In the course of his speech M.
Chauvin declared that Count de Castel-
lane, in order to warm the enthusiasm
of his partisans, abandoned all reserve
and, through his agents, gave unlimited
credit in hotels, inns, and drinking
places until the district was gay with
fetes and merriment during the cam
paign.
Count de Castellane replied, CHASING
the charges as false. He said he had
been accused of buying the election and
practicing charity for election purposes.
Nothing of the kind had ever been proved,
he declared, and closed his defense with
an appeal to the Chamber to uphold his
election, which, he asserted, truly repre-
sented the wishes of the inhabitants Of
the Basses Alpes district. The count de-
livered his reply in vehement tones and
Indignantly repudiated the accusations
of NJ. Chauvin, which he declared were
an attack upon the integrity and honesty
of his constituency. He explained, fur
ther, that he had helped some poor work
ingmen's organizations, but that he had
asked nothing in return.
When the president of the Chambers
announced the result of the vote Count
Boni arose and started for the door.
His friends crowded around him, shak-
ing his hand. The business of the Cham
Der was suspended temporarily while the
count was escorted to the exit. Just be-
fore he left the Chamber he turned and
shouted defantly: Gentlemen, | will be
with you again."
During the debate there was much dis
order, the members of the Left applaud
ing the attacks on Count de Castellane
and jeering at his reply, while the counts
republican associates gave him hearty
applause. The result of the vote neces-
states another election in the Bases
Alpes district represented by Count
BOni.

A BIG DEAL.

A million-dollar deal for the Riggs
National Bank stock and the old Riggs
Bank property in Washington is said to
be practically closed, with John r. Nc
Lean as purchaser from E. Francis
Riggs. Mr.. Mclean is to become owner
of Mr.. R;ggs's holdings in the bank,
said to be l, 100 shares, and the price is
understood to be in the neighborhood of
500 a share. The property to be
bought by Mr.. Mclean is that formerly
occupied by the bank, at the northwest
corner of Pennsylvania avenue and
Fifteenth street, adjoining the present
bank building, and the reported price,
$3.50, 600, which is $50 a square foot, is
the largest price ever paid for con-
siderable piece of Washington property.
1t is understood that Mr. Mclean will
replace the present old two-story build
ing on this property with a modern
office building. Years ago, before its
long occupancy by the Riggs Bank, the
old structure was occupied by the old
United States Bank. 1t was bought by
George w. Riggs and w. w. Corcoran.
The land they purchased included the
site of the new Riggs Bank building and
frontage on Fifteenth street now used
for one-story stores. Up until four or
five years ago the Riggs and Corcoran
interests continued to hold the property
together, but then division was made,
by which the Corcorm heirs became the
owners of the present Riggs Bank site
and the frontage on Fifteenth street,
and the corner became the property of
E. Francis Riggs, son of George w.
Riggs. Three years ago the bank
bought from the Corcoran heirs the pres
ent bank site, and began the erection
of the new building, since the compile
ton of which the old stucco building
has not been used. For the land the
bank paid the Corcoran heirs sl4O, 600,
or about $50 a square foot.
