PLANS REGAL PALACE.
Architects Designing Washington
Home for Montana Senator.

Washington, D. c., June 22.-SenatoT
w A Clark, of Montana the multi
millionaire. has determined to erect
here the grandest mansion ever conten-
plated for the national capital Not
content with equality with the best
houses in New York. Mr.. Clark's ambi-
ton for his Washington home is that
it shall stand absolutely unapproached
by the mansion of any other man.
Two reasons are assigned for the de-
lay in beginning construction The first
is that he has not yet been able to OBJ
tain satisfactory drawings. Then, too
he has decided not to approve the plans
finally until he sees what has been ac-
coraplished in the residences now IN
course of construction by Thomas f.
Walsh and Larz Anderson, on Massa-
chusetts avenue. Two firms of world
famous architects, one in Paris and the
other in London, are preparing cOmpct>
tive designs for the new palace. They
contemplate a mansion extending from
Connecticut avenue. along the DUPONT
Circle concave front around Massachu-
sets avenue and including the site Of
the house now occupied by Mr.. Clark
at the Twentieth street corner.
