WASHINGTON LAND DEAL.
Representative SissOn believes tho In.
uuiry VIII NeNcal a scandal.

WASHINGTON. July .. Representative
Sisson of Mississippi. who yesterday
introduced resolution authorizing an
inquiry into the ownership Of land con-
tig,ious to the Capitol grounds which
Ia about to be purchased by the Govern
mcnt. appears to he Of the opinion that
a probe into this affair will bring forth
sizable scandal. The Sisson resolution
will be reported promptly by the House
Committee on Rules. The suggestion
contained in the resolution that members
Of Congress are interested in this deal
has created something Of n stir and there
is reason to believe that the scope Of the
inquiry may be broadened.
While the Sisson resolution makes no
direct charges it specifically sets forth
that the committee of inquiry shall ascer-
tain whether any Representative in Con-
gress or members Of their families are
Interested in the land in question. 1t
Ia understood that information has been
placed in the hands Of Mr.. Sisson that
members Of Congress are personally
interested in the land and he proposes
to get at the facts.
Inquiry made to-day discloses that
while the land involved runs up into the
millions in value i: is held by a compare
lively few owners. part Of the tract
ia controlled bv Baltinore company.
which acts az a holding concern for the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company.
This company came into possession OF
the land through condemnation proceed
ings incident to the construction OF the
new Union station.
Vice President Sherman. Representa-
tive Cannon the former Speaker. and
Elliot Wood. superintendent OF the Capitol
and Capitol grounds. comprise the com
mission that has charge of the negotia-
tions looking to the acquisition OF the
property by the Government They
have been busily at work on the PROJECT
for many months. According to friends
of Mr.. Cannon the commission mas come
to the conclusion thae practically all OF
the offers to sell to the Government are
excessive The lowest offer made. il
was said to-day. came from the subsidi-
srv of the Baltimore and Ohio road. 1t
proposed to sell for the actual amount
paid. plus taxes and interest at the rate
Of 8 per cent on the investment. Part
of the property is owned by the estate
of the late Representative Joseph W.
BabcuHk Of Wisconsin. who was for many
wears chairman of the House Committee
on the District OF Columbia. and part Ia
controlled by prominent Washington
business men.
According to Representative Sisson
much of the land is held in the name OF
banks and trust companies. While Mr.
Ssson does not say 30 in direct terms
hold title for others. The resolution
directs the committee to ascertain for
whom these titles are held by various
banks and trust companies.

EARLY VOTE ON RECIPROCITY
THE INSt 'RGENT OPPOSITION
SEEMS tn BE WEAkENING.
After Reciprocity the Question Of Passing
the House Tarifr Reduction mis-
WIN Conc IN Votes Of Only Five
InsiirE gents Required to carry Them.

WASHINGTON. July 2.-Legislatively the
Capitol is a. idle AZ a painted ship upon
painted ocean these July days, and Vi i'll
continue to be until after the return of
statesmen from sea coast and mountain
on July5.
The backbone of the insurgent oppo-
sition to Canadian reciprocity seems
wilted. and vote will probably be taken
within two weeks and reciprocity adopted.
Then will come the question Of passing
the House free list and woollen bills
through the Senate. The progressive
Republicans insist that they wish 10
adopt q free list bill and also bills revising
all the other, important schedules; but the
majority Of the members feel that such
measures should be framed in view Of the
Republican principle of protection.
The progressives seem willing to aban-
don the provision of the last national
Republican platform which calls for
reasonable profits.- but they are not
willing to reduce the tariff below the
figure needed to afford protection suffi-
cient to cover the difference in the wage
cost of production. Whether sufficient
votes 10 pass any tariff bills can be se-
cured under these circumstances is in
volved in speculation.
We will not bulge an inch to meet the
Republican insurgents" said Senator
johnson of Alabama, Democrat, to-day
We voted for the insurgent amendments
TO the Payne-Aldrich bill because il was
the only chance we had Of getting lower
rGtes, but we are not disposed 10 join

bills sent over from the House and " i'll be
glad to have the insurgents support in
passing them II we are not able TO put
