Paris June 13.-Baron de Rosen. the recently

at luncheon at the American Embassy to-day by
Ambassador and Mrs Mccormick. Although
the meeting was purely social for the purpose

Baron de Rosen probably will take in its execu-
ton The two Aubassad dors went over the situa-
tion but the result of their conversation remains
private.
Satisfaction prevails generally with the prog
ress Of the peace ipreliminaries. but there Is
pessinlism concerning the parties agreeing on
final terms. Financial circles seem to have no
such fears. Russians were unusually strong on
the Bourse to-day. advancing to the highest
point in many months. Financiers took an
optimistic view of the success of the peace
movement, but the Morocco question caused
uneasiness and in a certain measure checked
the advance. Russian imperial As were quoted

MAY RECONSIDER SALE.
Board of Estimate Did Not Knosc
Conditions of Montauk Purchase.

There is strong probability that the sale of
the Montauk Theatre plot to the city will be
reconsidered by the Board of Estimate and Ap-
portionment, pending a further investigation of
its value AS explained in The Tribune yester-
day, Controller Grout favors the payment of
S5OQ.000 to the owners of the theatre for about
two-thirds of the area, the one-third remaining
in the hands OF the company being by far the
more valuable for store purposes. This gives
the plot an appraised value of about s700000
while the city for taxation purposes assessed it
at only 100000
The most surprising feature of the transac-
tion is that some of the members of the Board
of Estimate did not understand that the city
paying 100000 for only two-t thirds of the
plot They assumed that the city was getting
all of it.
Tn such matters" said Borough President
Littleton yesterday, eve always take the recon-
mendations made by the Controllers experts
Since the purchase authorized my attention
has been drawn TO the fact that the resolution
for the purchase of the property did not take in
all the lot owned by the Montauk company II
this fact brought out at the meeting of the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment, I did not
notice it, In view of the criticism, I think the
Controller will move to reconsider the action
taken by the board"
Controller Grout yesterday gave out a letter
received by the Finance Department from AS
sstant Corporation Counsel Sterling The letter
says, in part:
Ezra Bushnell the expert who has prepared to
testify in this proceeding, to the value of the
parcel says the entire land including the parcel
taken is worth SAB S66 so; the value of the land
not taken is S94,413 30. The part taken is worth
1919 463 80. The building, which is considered
a total destruction, is worth $230O00 The total
value of land and building is $549 453 80

both of cotton and timber in the of the Brit

Tzoo Men Badly Burned by Short
Cfrcuiting of PosUer Gables.

Peter Griffin. of No. 214 East s4th-st and Joseph
Murtha of No. s93 Columbus were badly
burned yesterday by the short circuting of four
cables each with capacity of 24.0D volts of cleo
tricity, at 146th-st. and Broadway. Both men
would have been roasted alive but for the timely
aid of q switchman. who heard the noise and
turned off the current. AS IL was the ears and
hair of the men were burned off. They were re-
moved to the J. Hood Wright Hospital for treat
ment and later to their homes.
Both men were working in a manhole at the
time the cable short crcuited, wrapping the power
cables in asbestos insulating material No one
can tell just what happened except that the cables
short circuited, throwing out the full power of
24000 volts of electricity against the men.
