venson, democratic candidate for COVER
nor of Illinois, went to Chicago yesterday
and conferred with nstionsl chairman
Mack as to the general situation and to
the part the rational committee will take
IN the state campaign. Speaking of tbs
democratic outlook in the national cam
paign this year, Mr.. Stevenson said IN
his address at the Iroquois luncheon;
II looks like a return of the demo-
cratic spirit of 1892, when Cleveland
was elected. Every whore l have spoken
7 have found democrats, formerly sntsg-
onistic TO Mr.. Bryan, with him now, and
thew tell me they wish to support me
also. 1t is astonishing The assurances o.
support l have received from rePubli'
cans. who declsrs thst they believe the
time has come for q change. 1t we put
our shoulders to the wheel We can trlnE
about a great democratic victory in NO
vember.
This is all true; the democrats have
but to stand together and work together
t. elect their candidates next time.

negro's paradise, but the situation here

Lyon negro, is being guarded from mob
violence after being rescued from an al

ensued he called for help aud the crowd

port of Rio de Janerio, Brazil, probably
the finest in the world, in which we're
crowded ships from nesrly every conn

that he made frequent Inquiry as II the
cause, and in every instance the reply
was: "The American tariff" And
this is absolutely true but the ship

the contrary.

mite figures representing the purchase
price of this property.
A Matter of Discretion.
Il presume if the government could deal
better by getting option on a part of
1t it might do it. l presume If the sem
ator from Georgia wanted to acquire GER
tain pieces of property. and wanted to
acquire all of them or none of them, he
would do it. perhaps. by getting an OPP
ton on all of them before he took uo the
contract with one of them. That is not
an unusual method of doing business In
fact 1t is quite an ordinary method, and
1t is considered very wise method. This
amendment merely gives the option to tie
up the property at definite price on def
mite terms.
Il did not call for yea-and-nay vote
on the amendment which I offered in re-
gard to changing the gross sum that
might be appropriated because | first
wanted to take an expression of the Sen
ate on this proposition of including among
the rights Of purchase and contract that

government ! assume that the Secretary
of the Treasury. under whose supervision
this work would be intrusted. would exer
else good business judgment in determin-
ing the question as TO whether 1t were
better to pay a gross sum for some prop
erty or take the chances of getting enough
one, or whether he would think it best to
get an option on number of pieces Of
property. This amendment leaves it to
his judgment. I will submit it to the Sem
ate, SO far as l am concerned"

Land Values Advancing.

ANY senator who has observed the
price of real estate in the city of WASH
ington knows of his own knowledge that
for the past ten or fifteen years real es-
tate has advanced all over the city, not
withstanding what my distinguished
friend the senator from Minnesota Ofr
Clapp) has said in regard to land south
OF the avenue. The property is all adj
vancing, and the sooner the government
secures the property necessary for the
erection of proper buildings to care for
the business Of the government the cheap
err it will get it,
ANY man who has ever travelled. who
has ever visited Paris. Berlin. st. Peters
burg or any of the other capitals of for
eign countries, and has compared the
avenues and boulevards of those cities
with Pennsylvania avenue, with the char
acter Of buildings on the south side of
the avenue If he is a true hearted and
full-blooded American. unjust be ashamed
of the conditions here. 1t is disgrace
to this great country to have buildings
of the character of those on the south
side Of Pennsylvania avenue and to have
people Of the character of those who oc-
cupy at least part of the property pro-
posed to be acquired.
Il repeat myself when I say that the
proper business course for this Congress
to- take is to acquire now whatever
property is necessary. If we do not want
| to utilize all Of this property at the pres
ent time for the erection of buildings
as the senator from Idaho has said. it
can lie there until we do need it. The
| time is coming when we shall have to
| have 1t. and We will never get it any
| cheaper.
| Il do hope that it will be the pleasure
| OF Congress to act in businesslike man
ner in regard to the buildings that are
| necessary for the transaction of the gov
ernmentS business >

Mr.. Clapp's Contention.

II think the senator from West Eir-
ginia confounds two thoughts in his dis
cussion Of this NATTER said Mr.. Clapp
"One is the necessity for public build
ings: and for one I am ready to vote at
all times for the erection of necessary
public buildings. whether here in the city
Of Washington or in remote towns of this
country. Although ! do think we should
have as beautiful a capital as due regard
for the interest of the taxpayers whom
We represent would suggest. there is no
better place to put surplus funds than in
the erection of public buildings through
out the country, bringing to the citizen
of the town in which the building is erect
ed realization of the existence of his
central government.
But the question of building buildings
as they are needed is one thing. and the
question of buying a lot of property on
the south side of Pennsylvania avenue is
quite another thing. l do not believe
there Is member Of the Senate who if
he had the capital to spare and could be
rassment of investing in real estate which
was the subject of congressional consid-
Grafton. would put one dollar into real
estate the south side of the avenue
today The removal of the depot. the d.
lapidated condition of that street. re-
ferred to by the senator himself is the
best argument in REPUTATION of, its being
a business proposition at this time to in
vest I'm real estate in that particular To-
caIity"
THE Senator from Minnesota refers to
the fact that no business man would in
yes; in property south of the avenue. He
would. If the property south of the avenue
suited the purpose for which he wanted It,
Otherwise possibly not" put in Senator
Scott.

The cut and mangled body of S. L.
Lane, farmer who lived near Miles was
found this morning by Sheriff Ridenhour
and Undertakes Lewis Rogers. on the
Katy track about a mile north of town.
The remains of the dead man were
gathered up and brought here for cor
oners inquest, which began at two o'clock
this afternoon.
The engineer of the Katy flyer due here
at 9:43 this morning first notified H. A.
Farthing, station agent, of seeing the
body. Mr.. Farthing Immediately notified
the sheriff. who with Lewis Rogers went
out to look for the body. When they
found the object of their search. ii was a
sight to cause the blood of these men, who
are accustomed to the unpleasantness of
of seeing dead bodies, to run cold. The
man had evidently been run over by a
train from both directions. The body was
cut entirely in two across the abdomen,
the head was cut open and the brains
scattered over the cross ties, one leg was
cut off and one arm and hand was crush
ed. So badly mangled was the body that
indentiication of his features was an i'm
