Vnltert Btates legation In Merlin. ' The United States government lias boon Inquiring through the proper - channel an to the rout of purchasing or erecting Its own buildings for the em bassies and legations and several of tht large consulates-general In Europe. It may astonish mnny to learn that Ber lin was found the most expensive cap Ital In the world, so far ns the cost of real estate and of buildings was con cerned. The only really suitable build ing found there for the purposo would roKt $800,000. The Russian embassy building In Rerltn, which Is located t'nter den Linden, and which Is, In deed, a veritable palace, so spacious and stately Is It, would cost about $4, 000,000 to bnlld to-day, ground and all. But It Is, too, roomy and elegant enough to have served repeatedly for traveling quarters for Russian Ctarg passing through Berlin. What a miserable con trast forms the excuse for nn office which the United States embassy occu pies In Berlin, In Kronen strasse, a street of small shops. In the basement of the building Is a barber shop, on the ground floor a wine and schnapps shop, and above the embassjr offices reside a core of private persons.

A Philadelphia man has lived ten years In a house for which ho paid no rent and no taxes. It belonged to the gas company, and lie had paid rent reg ularly until the property of tho compa ny was transferred to the city. He says himself: "I don't remember how long It Is since I stopped paying rent. It was when tho gns olllce was on 7th troet. 1 went there one dny with my rent and offered It to Mr. White, who lind charge of the gas company's real estate, but he refused to take It, and told mo that It was to Imj paid at the city treasurer's otllce In the future. I took It up there a ml a young man there said he could not take it, as he couldn't find record of nny such a house. Ho told mo that they would notify mo when they were ready to take my money. 1 went back to Mr. White and ho advised me to go home and wait un til I heard from them. Well, I waited.' Knhedy came to collect money until re- Jently, when the city discovered Its title and sent a nun to collect. The ten ant got a day to consider and promptly iklpped. Hut his experience with a free rent does not seem to be satisfac tory ,lf wo may trust to his wife. "Yes' ays she, resentfully, "ho thought It was a sunp, and look where he Is now -no money, no business, looking for a ob, and a family to support. lie, wouldn't take my advice and move to where business was good, but ho htiKged his snap and stuck here In that stagnant neighborhood and spent money on repairs for the house and flldn't mako any money."

Cm t"?u 1 CONGRESS. REIMTI. For nearly two hours Monday tne Sennte hsrt under discussion tho reso lution of Mr. UidR-e (Mass.), directing the claims committee to make an in quiry ns to the disposition of tho money appropriated by congress to pay the claim of the book concern of the Methodist Rplscopnl Church Holith. A heated colloquy between Mr. Chandler (New Hampshire) and Mr. Pnsco was the feature of the discussion. Mr. Chandler snid that Mr. Pasco was tin wittingly and unwillingly the agent through which a deception had been practiced upon the senate. Mr. Pasco demanded the withdrawal of the state ment, but Mr. Chandler Insisted that It was correct, and refused to withdraw It, although he disclaimed any Inten tion to reflect upon Mr. Pasco's honor. The resolution probably will be called up again. At Tuesdny'a session of the senate the resolution of Mr. Iidge (Mass.) directing that nn Inquiry be made Into the disposition made of the Methodist bonk concern claim, which was paid recently by congress, was adopted v ltbout division. In the course of the debnte upon It. Mr. Morgan (Ala.) charged that the resolution was Insin cere and had been drawn for political effect. This statement, Mr. Ixidwa denied vigorously, saying his only pur pose in offering the resolution was that all the farts concerning the matter should be laid before the people to the end that more en re should be exercised In the future. He regnrded the claim paid as a Just one. and had no Idea of endenvorlng to secure Its repnyrnent. He pointed out the fact that had his amendment to the claim bill been adopted It would have cut off a profes sional lobbyist and prevented a scan dal. He hoped that as n result or the proposed investigation a general law would be passed to ellmlnnte the pro fessional lobbyist from the legislative equation. After the passage of a large number or private pension hills and listening to n carefully prepared speech on the ni. vantages of Itepnblloan tnrlfr 1. gln lntlon by Mr. Prltchnrd. of North Car olina, the Penate Wednesday resumed consideration or the international American bnnk bill. An amendment was accepted by the committee nml adopted extending the privileges of the measure to all citizens of the United Plates. Instead of restricting them to U'ope mentioned In the bill. When the Pennte ndjouined consideration or thrt bill hint-not been concluded. Five minutes after the opening of the Sennte's Session Thursday the message clerk of the House or Hepie- sentatlves delivered to the Senate the Hawaiian annexation resolution pass ed by the House Wednesday evening. At tne suggestion of Chnlrmnn I'avls, the resolution was laid before the Sen ate and was then referred to the Com mittee on Foreign Itelntlons. The foreign relations committee, throush Mr. Pnvis. the chairman. Fri day reported favorably to the senate the Newlands resolution tor the annex ation or the Hawaiian Islands. Mr. Davis announced his purpose or cnlllng up the resolutions for consideration. but ns the sennte decided Inter to ad journ until Mondny the debate upon the resolutions will not begin until thnt time. The bill to Incorporate the Interna tional American bank In accordance with the congress, which has occupied a greater part or the sennte's time this week, was passed Friday afternoon by a vote or 2 to 23. The design of the measure Is to furnish such bnnklng and exchange facilities as will promote trade hetween the United Stntes and the countries of Central and South America. BODBE.

In the absence of Speaker Iteed, the House Wednesday afternoon by the over whelming majority of 201 yeas to 91 nays passed the Newlands resolution for the annexation or the Hawaiian Is lands to the United States. The general deficiency bill was con sidered Thursday by the house, but was not disposed or. It probably will be taken up to-morrow and passed unless the private calendar is urged. Mr. Dlngley (Hep.. Me.) called ut the bill supplemental to the war revenue measure designed to supply some omissions and to strengthen the meuns of administering the revenue act. It exempts from taxation mutual, casualty, fidelity and guarantee com panies conducted not for profit. After explanation by Mr. Dlngley the bill was passed. The general oellciency Din ana con ference report upon the District or Col umbia nuproprlHtlun bill occupied the attention of the house Friday. Om by Ex. Sontaor Puk. Ex-Governor Peck tells a story about his visit to Green Hay, Wis. He had been asked to speak at a Good Temn- lurs' affair there. When I stood," Mr. Peck tells. "I looked about for soma water. A mug hd been placed beside me, and how it ould have hanpened at a temperance convention I do not know, but it was s beer mug filled with water. Well, It was a warm day, and where there Is onvention food spread out on a warm day there are likely to be ilies. There were flies, and one had lighted trust- ngly on the surface of the water in that mug. I saw htm as I lifted It, and did the most natural and humane thing that 1 could think of blew him off the water. Well, they cheered for five minutes. And to this day I sup pose you can't persuade a Green Hay man that anybody from Mllwauks can drink a glass of water, even at a temperance convention, without first blowing oft the foam."

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Heview ot Trade reports us follows ror last week; The passing or the war tax bill, tho offering of bonds and the collapse of l.elter and cash wheat, have made the week somewhat exciting. In spite of some feature which cannot be Justi fied the tux bill was approved as prob ably the best that could be obtained from congress this year, and gave as surance of needed revenue for the emergency. Its bond provision has al ready called out oilers for more than three times the umount desired, und It probably will prove the most success ful loun ever invited by the i'nlted States. A greut victory in the lieldcould hurdly lie more Important, especially In Its Inllueni e on foreign opinion. Not less signincunt was the excess of ex ports uer imports in May by flr,.9Srt, S.MI. making a merchandise balance in favor of the I'nlted Stales, in eleven months of the fiscal year, while net Imports of gold were 8102,026, PMI, though in no previous llscul year have the net Imports of gold exceeded IS7.4I16.127 In 1882. Not less Important Is the olllelal showing thnt this nation has siitmlied to others 100.058.2e8 bushels wheat and 204.OrtO.0O0 corn In eleven and a half months without checking receipts from farms, and sees w heat fall 20' cents In a week because a crop Is promised greater than the last by 100,000,000 bushels. The decline would have come sooner had not Mr. Lelter looked for larger gains, but the benefit to this country by tho average advance of neurit cents ior tne crop year on wheat exported has been about 148.- 000,000, and to producers much greater. in corn, on tne other hand, the cash price has declined only 1 cent, and the demand continues extraordinary, west ern receipts amounting to 4.879,242 bushels against 3.81U.1H4 bushels last year, and exports amounting to 3.662,- uuu Dusnois, uguliiBt 1,321,448 bushels last year. The cotton movement continues large for the season, althntiirh tho price has advanced a sixteenth in spite or ravoruble crop prospects. The ma nufacturing demand abroad Is good and controls Liverpool, and at this late season America lets Liverpool make lirices. Here tne manufacturing de mand Ib a little better, though with de cline or prices or bleached shirtings, but the mills have large stocks of mat erials. There la also a stronger mar ket for wool abroad, which with west ern excitement makes quotations of 100 qualities by Coates Bros, of 1 cent higher than June 1, but there Is scarce ly any buying by manufacturers, who are in doubt about the coming season and have few new orders, except In army lines. The break in the price of slxteen-ounce clay worsted to 81.20 has somewhat discouraged what promised to be a healthy market. Sules of wool were made extremely narrow by the wide differences between excited west ern holders and manufacturers who have an uncertain coming season to face. Pig Iron is exremely dull, though bessemer holds last week's advance and other grades are not iiuotably low er. No decline in consumption appears, and, while bars are weak, with short time the rule in eastern mills, they ad vance 214 cents at Pittsburg, while Chi cago reports heavy season contracts still coming from wagon, car and other manufacturers. Heavy sheets are bel ter at the East, but thin are not bet ter anywhere, structural works ure full for the summer, and have had two remarkably good weeks at Chicago with buildings and bridge orders, Plate mills are well employed, and at Chi cago the demand for pipe Is better, especially from the Puclfic coast.

One of those lines was retained ou board of the Dar ing, the torpedo boat destroyer Ulidee IJomninndcr Tuppcr's command, from whir. 1 the experiments were conducted. It was found that with the wind be tween the two lines It was easy to drop letters or oven a hawser on another llilp, nnd In this way to establish com munication. When this experiment bad proved successful Commander Tupper mndc use of a wire. The end of the wlro which tho kite bore away from the Ihlp was dropped upou tho (leek of II. II. S.

Commander Tupper bag mudo a report of his experiments with the kite tele phone and declares that It means that the present method of signaling with flags will become obsoleto.
