An interesting rumor discussed over

THAT negotiations are going on between

her new mansion in Sixteenth street,
just completed late last spring. 1t is a
superb private residence Of white stone,
four stories, and an ample garden at the
south side, which has been arranged
with a direct view to entertaining al
fresco. The reason given for consider
ing the sale of II by the millionaire's
widow is her health, which has been
growing steadily more frail since she
started the building. The new Russian
Ambassador and Nine. Bakhmetien have
been making a diligent search for a new
home for the embassy, and It Is under
stood that II a suitable one is available

ly owned its own home here, will pur-
chase it.
