WARREN MAKES
AN EXPLANATION
Wyoming Senator Rents a Build
ing to the Government
USED AS A P0ST0FFICE
WASHINGTON TIMES ON THE
SENATOR'S TRAIL.
USED AS A POSTOfFICE

RAfASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-This even
w ings Washington Times states
that Senator Warren OF Wyo-
ming is the lessee of the postOfice
building at Cheyenne, his home town.
and that the present lease was made in
April 1899. for a period of four years,
at an annual rental of $1,000. Senator
Warren said of the matter, when his
attention was called TO the charge:
cannot say at this moment
whether or not my name is fixed to the
lease with the government for the
Cheyenne pOStOfice. A number Of
buildings in Cheyenne are owned by
corporations in which I am interested,
and / own several in private owner
ship. The pOstOmce is in q portion Of
the Warren block, built by me for gen
eral purposes over twenty-five years
ago. The Dostofice has been in the
block part Of the time off and on for
nearly twenty years. During that time
The BLOCK in question: has changed own
ership two or three times. Tt Ii was
standing in my name or in the name
OF corporation with which I was con-
nected at the time the leases were exc
CUted. then very likely L signed them
either as agent. officer or owner. Ny
own rent roll and care Of my property.
as we'll as that of the corporations
mentioned, has been for some years in
the ndHQS or an experienced agent
long in my service, hence my present
ignorance Of details.
Il do recall. however that the prem
ises were first rented for the pOstofice
when Frank HattOn was postmaster
general. They We're again rented for
second term during Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration. I do not recall the date
of the latter lease. ] came into the
senate I'm 1890, went out in 1898 and
came back again in 1895. The pOstOfice
at Cheyenne has always been rented to
the lowest bidder after the receptions
OF competitive sealed bids. If. as the
article states. the present lease is at
$1,000 per annum, then at this last bid
ding the pOstOfiice was rented some
$500 or $500 less per year than offered
by the next lowest bid. This is a fig
ure much lower than property on each
side and opposite the postOf7ce is rent
ed at, and we are impatiently awaiting
the completion of the new federal build
ing, which I have been endeaVOring To
hurry forward ever since my return to
the senate, in order that the pOstOfice
and other federal Offices at Cheyenne
may be removed into il and owners be
relieved through receiving current rent
ais in place of low rents now paid by
the government

RAILWAY STATISTICS.
Number Of Cars and Locomotives
Built During the Year.

New York Dec 2s.-The Railroad Gaz-
cite gives The following statistics OF car
and locomotive building during the LAST
year:
Official returns from practically all the
car building plants in The United states
show that 154.s0S cars have been built
during the year 1903. OF thls total figure
approximately 15z,S0f are freight ears ana
200 passenger coaches; l53,lS5 fox oomes-
tic and 1913 for export. Last year the
total number Of cars built was 1851.
During the year 5,15Z locomotives were
built at the various locomotive works IN
the country as against 400 last year. The
number includes thirty-eight electric To-
COmOtiVes The increase over 1902 IS the
largest of any one year. and possibly Is
due 90 the fact that the locomotive works
in the country had such a volume of or
dCrs placed during 1892 that they were un-
able to make immediate deliveries, and
many Of the orders were held over until
1903 At an average cost the locomotive
of $4,000. the total amount spent by the
railroads for motive power would be ap-
proximately $4,000 600. This figure does
not include the locomotives which are
built yearly by the railroad companies at
their own shops.
