PLUMBERS STILL OUT.
Neither Side to Controversy Is Dispos-
ed to Yield.

There is apparently no prospect that the
journeymen plumbers strike will be
brought to an early termination, both sides
declaring their determination not to yield.
No new information can be obtained re-
garding proposed plans of the strikers, but
they give the impression that they have
no fears of winning in the controversy.
The employers are equally confident of
victory and say they are losing no sleep
over the difficulty.
Mr.. Frederick B. Pyle, architect, when
seen this morning by a Star reporter in
reference to the plumbers strike. said that
any disturbance in the existing prices of
plumbing labor at this season will certainly
prevent the development OF many enter
prises in the building line, and materially
lessen the aggregate amount of plumbing
work for the year.
'aThe present prices for plumbing sup
plies and labor" said Mr.. Pyle,~"are ample
to command the best sanitary plambing
and allow for both employer and workman
a reasonable profit. 1t has been necessary
to educate the public. and especially the
promoters of large enterprises, to the i'm
portance Of high class plumbing and the
prevailing prices. A new schedule of
prices, fixing so per cent increase in the
labor without giving the building owner a
benefit for this Increase, is a factor which
he will not accede to- -
ITO deprive the younger generation of
an opportunity for education and develop
ment In this line Of trade, in my opinion.

THE PRICE 100000.
Sale of Block of Land Opposite French
Embassy Site.

A transaction involving the transfer Of
a large piece of improved property has

and r. E. Pairo. as the representatives Of
the owners of what is known as the Kali
tract. have sold the entire frontage Of the
block on the north side of street between
I'D and 23d street. with the exception Of
the western portion, which was bought
some months ago by Mrs. Morton Mitchell.
The purchasers are a syndicate represent
ed by Col. George H. Higbie, Horace s.
Wescott and John p. Story. and 1t Is their
purpose to subdivide and sell building lots
The area comprises some 81. 900 square feet,
and 1t is stated that the price paid was
about 81 per square foot.
On the south side of street and opposite
this purchase is the site bought last year
by the French government. On this block
of land, which has frontage of 1888 feet
and extends through to Decatur street, It

opposite side of 8 street is 800 feet, with a
depth Of 105 feet. It includes the portion
occupied by the old house with the large
trees about 1t. and owing to It's location on
the brow Of the hill a fine view Is had OF

SLOWLY DYING.
DR.. Talmage's Physicians Give Nc
Hope Of His Recovery.

Rev. DR.. T. Dewitt Talmage, the noted
Presbyterian divine. is slowly dying at his
residence in this city. His physicians con-
cede that they can now see no hope for his
recovery and that he is steadily growing
worse He has been unconscious for the
past forty-eight hours, and the passive con-
gestion of the brain has developed into
very inflamed condition
After the afternoon consultation Of the
physicians the following bulletin was is
sued:
DR. Talmage is grown steadily worse
His condition is extremely critical Signed,
G. Lloyd Magruder, c. w. Richardson, A.
B. Richardson"
Dr. Talmage was in poor health when he
started for Mexico six weeks ago. He was
suffering from influenza, and serious catar-
rhal symptoms.
He has been very i'll since his return to
Washington month ago, but some hope
had been held out until yesterday. The
day before the wedding of his daughter he
recognized the latter. saying, "Of course.
know YOU Maud" Those are about the
last rational words he has uttered.

in Honolulu it would have gained entrance

I'm consideration Of the fact that Con-
gress has passed laws giving customs re-
ceipts of Porto Rico and the Philippines to
the local government and has also RENTED
TO them duties collected in the United States
on imports from those islands. it would be
no more than fair for all the customs re-
ceipts to go toward meeting the expenses
of the plague. This, too, in view OF tne
fact that the United States has already
collected from the Hawaiian Islands sum
also equal to the entire amount of such ex-
pense.
"If some such relief is not now granted
hv Congress the local treasury will be for
long time much crippled. especially if local
city and county governments are estab-
lished, which will greatly increase the cost
of the local government.

REGARDING DIVORCES.
Important Ruling Made by Judge
Hagner Today. &.

Justice Hagner of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia late this afternoon
rendered an opinion of widespread interest,
holding, in effect, that proceedings for d.
vorce instituted prior to the time the new
code became effective. the 1st of last jan
uary, and alleging other grounds than adul-
terry cannot now be considered. 1t is stated
that this action will prove disappointing to
the hundreds of petitioners who sought di-
vorce on the ground of cruelty, desertion,
drunkenness and the like, and who hurried
ly filed their petitions during the last few
days of December, to get them on record
before the code became effective.
The opinion was rendered in connection

Rumors in London Yesterday
Not Verified.
PEOPLE ARE HOPEFUL
GENERAL BELIEF THAT THE EN-
VOYS WILL AGREE.
It May Be Some Time, However, Be-
fore They Reach an Un-
derstanding.

LONDON, April 11.-Frederic Rutherford
Harris. former secretary of the British
Chartered South Africa Company, was
asked this morning at his residence, Langi-
bly, Castle, Usk. Monmouthshire, If he had
received a telegram announcing that the
Boer leaders had accepted the British
terms Mr.. Harris replied that the rumor
was entirely without foundation.
A similar report of the alleged agree
ment was carried by the Central News and
published by some Of the morning papers,
which issued extra editions. 1t appears to
have originated in the town of Rontypool,
adjacent to Llangibly Castle.
The dispatch appearing in the Financier
and Bullionist is not confirmed from any
other quarter. The editor of the paper
says several words of the code message
received We're vague but he believes his
general Interpretation Of the dispatch to be
correct.
Peace Negotiations May Be Slow.
From government sources the Associated
Press ascertains that the peace negotia-
tions are not expected to come to a con-
clusion so quickly as this mornings prema-
ture reports indicated. The belief that
there will be considerable parleying also
exists in circles intimate with the Boer
leaders on the continent. who maintain that
no peace can be arrived at unless the Brit
ish grant some form Of amnesty to the
Cape rebels. Whether this contention will
prove we'll founded or otherwise Is only a
matter of conjecture but 1t appears certain
that the Beers will hold out till all expedi-
entS of negotiation are exhausted in an en-
deavor to gain this point. Some of those
who are in close touch with South Africa
believe that ten days may elapse before a
dennite conclusion is reached.
In the meanwhile the presence of such
representative Beers at Klerksdorp and
other factors, create an all-round hopeful
feeling. This was reflected on the stock
exchange today in the advances of consols
and kaffirs.
Up to 11:30 m. the government had rc-
statements that peace had been arranged
Conference at Klerksdorp.
KLERKSDORP, Transvaa1 Wednesday,
