The president mas anOtner near
neighbor in Chauncey M. Depew, who
ives directly opposite the White House
across Lafayette square. He mas rent
ed the famous Corcoran house, for
merly the property of Daniel Webster,
and in more recent times occupied by
Calvin S. Brice, Of Ohio. The Peach"
Is having a beautiful time in Washing
ton as he always does wherever he
happens to be. and his establishment is
on a lavish scale. Guesses are fire.
quently hazarded as to the amount Of
his wealth: but he never furnishes any
data on the subject. and nobody else is
likely to be able to contradict the state
ment that he is probably worth at least
81, 100000 Maybe his fortune Is much
greater, inasmuch as many opportuni-
ties for making money by "sure things"
in speculation have been thrown into
his way during the long period Of his
connection with the Vanderbilts.
Another senatorial palace, at the
northeast corner Of 18th and L streets.
Is owned by Redfleld Proctor Of Ver-
mont, who Is probably worth $4,000,000
or $5,000.000. He began life a poor
boy, became an attorney, and, being
appointed receiver Of marble compa-
ny in his native state, one lucky day.
brought the concern through in such
shape that the grateful stockholders
made him president. So, at all events,
the story goes. At the present time
Proctor practically controls the mar
BILE output Of Vermont.
Joseph B. Foraker, Of Ohio, has a
fortune Of $2,000,0O0 or $3,vJ0,000, gain
ed chiefly from electric trolleys. He
has made more Of a speciality Of troll
ley law than any other man in the UNI
ted States and for many years has
been large stockholder in such enter
prises. His residence on 18th street Is
one Of the handsomest in Washington.
A highly respectable linen draper
was the grandfather, Of the dignified
and impressive Henry Cabot Lodge,
whose father married a daughter of
Henry Cabot. A large fortune de-
scended to the young statesman by in
heritance and he has increased 1t by
good Investments. Probably he Is
worth a couple of millions Of dollars.
and he keeps up superb establishments
in Boston and at Nahant, in addition
to his spacious and handsome residence
on Massa chusetts avenue in Washing
ton. The Washington house Is OF
brick. with a double frontage. ami
many entertainments are given there
to the exclusive set which Is able to
boast the Lodge acquaintance.
Within half a block Of the Lodge
mansion. on an opposite corner. Is the
residence Of Charles w. Fairbanks. OF
Indiana. Nobody can say positively
whether Fairbanks is millionaire or
not. hut he desires 1t to he so under
stood. and his mode Of living is on
corresponding scale.
On the most fashionable block OF X
street. only a stones throw from the
Hale mansion. is large house Of light
colored brick built in the old Colonial
style. It Is the residence Of Stephen
B. Elkins, of West Virginia, who Is un-
derstood to be worth something like
SO, 900, 900. He Is one Of few men
who own practically all Of the natural
resources Of that state, his wealth be-
Ing derived chiefly from coal mines
and railroads, though his money Is In
vested in many other enterprises.
Next door to Elkins is Quay's new
house. which is understood to have
cost 100000. together with the land on
which 1t stands. The senator from
Pennsylvania has fine estate at Bea-
yer, in that state, pineapple growing
property in Florida and other large In
vestments elsewhere, so that there Is
hardly any danger Of mistake In con-
sidering him as included In the list OF
congressional millionaires.
Platt, of New York, the easy boss.
is easily worth s1,OO0,0O0. AS head OF
the United States Express company ne
draws a large salary, in addition to
his income as a legislator for the ma
ton, and he Is engaged in various big
commercial operations. Nevertheless,
he has no house in Washington, pre-
ferring to live at the Arlington hotel,
which is likewise the home Of another
millionaire member of the upper house,
Nelson w. Aldrich, Of Rhode Island.
Aldrich's money Is invested In street
railways in Providence.
Another rich senator Is John Kean,
of New Jersey, who entered the upper
house only last year. He Is a million
aire several times over, and occupies
the handsome residence at the south
west corner of 18th and I streets,
which was formerly owned by Anthony
Pollok-the unfortunate gentleman who
was drowned at sea three years ago
by the sinking Of a transatlantic
steamship, his wife being lost with
him.
Milionaires are comparatively scarce
in the house of representatives, but
there are few, and some of them have
palatial residences in Washington.
Perhaps the best known Of these IS
John Dalzell, - of Pittsburg. who has
been identified all his life with the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad, both as attor-
new and as a holder of stock. HIS
house, where many good dinner Is
given during sessions of congress, Is
on New Hampshire avenue. just above
Dupont Circle.

Philadelphia. is an ambitious young
