' 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.
Tosslbly no man Is as anxious to go
to war as he pretends to the reporters.!

LIVING RENT FREE.
Philadelphia Man Who Went Broke
Because lie Did Not Pay.
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'

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

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

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

measure Is to furnish such bnnklng and
exchange facilities as will promote

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."

TRADE REVIEW.
Cipcrti Iienl Imports Oariag May SiTlag tbi

H. J. 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. Ship
ments from there of rulls In May In
cluded some to Sweden, ilelglum, South
Africa, Siberia and three other coun
tries, while orders from Calcutta hava
Just been taken. The anthracite coal
output In. May exceeded the allotment
by 18.8 per cent.

Uow Commanders Communicate by1
Wire from Ship to Ship.
Telephones mny supersede the old
fysleiu of flag signals as a menus of
communication between ships nt sea.
Successful exiK-rlments have been
made by Commander It. (I. O. Tupper
of tho Hrltlsh navy which seem to
prove that the system Is adapted for
tho purpose. Commander Tupper used
n kite In his experiments, and this
ficcma to be tho only feasible moans.
The kite used was nn ordinary one flint
differed but slightly from those used by
American boys lu the spring and full,
except tbut It hud no tall. The kite wai
six feet long and three wldo at Its
broadest part. Two lines were at
tached to the kite where the tull would
ordinarily have leen. 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. Dauntless, where Jt was secured
by tho electrician of tho ship and at
tached to n telephone apparatus In
rvnltlug. Tho other end, which had re-
r
mu I ned aboard the During, was also
attached to a telephone, and as soon as
the task had been completed tho com
munication between the two ships was
lierfect. Secured by tho two lines, the
kite renin hied suspended for four hours,
during which time omniuutcatlon be
tween the two ships was uninterrupted.
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. If telephone
wires can bo employed, ho sees 110 rea
son why .telegraphic communication
should not be made In a similar man
ner, and the ships of a fleet be placed la
communication with each other.
