The United States Realty and Con-
s.ruetlon Company OF New York. repre-
scented in Washington by Gen S. S Yo-
der. has undergone a violent change in
Its directorate. A number Of the direct
Ors. all OF them among the wealthic ST
real estate holders Of the big city, have
resigned and others elected in their
stead who. it is said, will place the con-
troll of the corporation in the hands OF
interests closely identified with the
Standard Oil magnates. IL is reported
that the attitude OF the company toward
labor unions-One of pronounced hostil-
ity. II Is alleged-has for some time
been the cause of dissension and has
now terminated in the change OF con-
trolling factors It IS understood that
this change VIII not affect in any way

The United States Realty and Con-
struction Company was organized in the

lative dividend Of 8 per cent. and 1885,

has been paid. An underwriting syndi-
cate was formed. which furnished a
cash capital of 81, 900 600 Though pow
erfuiiy backed, the company was unfor-
tunate almost from the start. The pub
lie refused to talze its securities. which.

Richmond Street. or TO the Soldiers

MURPHY
NOT FOR PARKER
At Least, Not Unless Forced
Into Line.
NO ENTHUSIASM IN GOTHAM
Visiting National Committeeman Sur
prised After Having Listened
to Pat" McCarren.

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-All the Demo-
cratic national committeeman who came
to town early in the week to find out
something about the political situation
here have returned to their homes ex-
cept Norman +. Mack. Of Buffalo. They
did not make any startling discoveries.
Charles f. Murphy talked to them lust
as he talked to the reporters yesterday,
and left the committeeman doubtful as
TO the position of Tammany.
No Parker Boom Here.
One thing the visitors learned, namely,
that there are no indications of enthu-
siasm for Judge Parker among the
Democrats of New York Senator Nc
Carren gave them the idea. at the ma
tional committee meeting in Washing
ton, that the whole Democratic party of
New York State was for Parker. and
they were rather surprised when they
saw no interest in the Parker boom
here.
So far, not one Tammany leader has
declared for Parker The district
chiefs are waiting for Charles f. Muir
ply to take his position before they
take theirs. and up to cate Murphy
has not said a word in favor of any
possible candidate except Mr. Cleve-
land. According to the gossip at Tam
many Hall this is Murphy's position
His first choice is Cleveland, and he
has no second choice yet.
Murphy Fears Hill.
He is opposed to Parker because he
believes that If Parker were elected
President, David B. Hill would dispense
the Federal patronage in this city. and
do all ia his power TO injure Tammany
Hall Still. IL It becomes apparent
later that Parker is the choice OF most
OF the Democrats of the country, Muir
ply will bring the New York delega-
ton to his support and get some OF the
credit for his nomination.
Some talk is still heard about Mayor
Mcclellan as a Presidential candidate,
but those who have Murphy's confidence
say that he has never considered for a
moment the possibility Of Mcclellan
giving uD the mayoralty before the end
OF his term. 1t is possible, however
4, that the New York delegates may give
the mayor a complimentary vote OF
the first ballot at the convention ir
case Mr.. Cleveland finally refuses tC
become a candidate.

Investments amounting to 100000. $780,

where large investments had proved
profitable. Recently. however. Wash

city has been built. up and improved
the entire District Of Columbia. which.
under the Constitution of the United
States, is the home OF our National Gov
eminent. and really the city Of Wash
in<tan-
Suburban territory is fast becoming
urban. and this is evidenced by private
development. as we'll as by Government
action and Government Improvement.
The old boundary line has been oblit-
Grated so that now one never hears of
Boundary Street, but Florida Avenue
has taken its place. and the plan OF
the original city has been extended
over the entire District OF Columbia by
action of Congress. There Is every rea-
son to regret that L'Enfant did not do
this when he planned the city OF wash
ington in 1890.
Going Beyond the Old City.
Recently. the United States Govern
ment has gone beyond the old city for
the Observatory. the Bureau of Stand
ards, Municipal Hospital, geological
Park, and Rock Creek Park, and the
Government now desires suitable sites
for other necessary buildings: while all
our large educational institutions, uni
versities. and colleges are being locat-
ed in the District beyond the old city
limits. This latter feature exists to such
an extent. that Washington would now
seem TO be the educational center OF our

WILL BOWL GAMES
BY TELEGRAPH
AN EIGHT CITY LEAGUE.
MR.. c. S. RICHMOND OF SAVANNAH
is MADE PRESIDENT.

The First Game VIII BE BOxvled on
braces Atlanta, Macon, Augusta.
Columbus, Jacksonville, Tampa,
brunswick and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
of the other Teams Will he Re
ceived by Telegraph.
A bowling league composed of the
organized: Atlanta, Macon. Augusta,
Columbus, Jacksonville, Tampa,
Brunswick, and Savannah.
The organization of the league was
largely due to the efforts of Mr.. c. S.
Richmond of Savannah. who has been
unanimously elected president.
Mr.. Richmond has been busily en-
gagged for the last few weeks in ar
ranging for the league, and has final
ly perfected plans which will govern
the conduct of the organization.
All games will be played by tele-
graph between teams of five men. The
race will be decided according to the
number of pins each team has bowled
during the season.
Two games will be played each
month on the first and third Wednes-
day nights. Three games will be
bowled, and a report made after
each game. Scores of these games
will be posted at the place in each
city where the contesting team is
playing. In this way it is believed the
most intense interest will be
aroused.
Mr.. Richmond says the Savannah
team has not yet been selected, though
some of those who will compose it
have been virtually agreed upon.
Five of the most consistent bowlers in
the city, with substitutes, will be Sc
lected.
The first games in this contest will
be bowled on Wednesday night, the
Savannah team bowling at the Hus-
sars alleys. Special arrangements
have been made to receive the reports
from the other cities.
