Architect Clark, of the brary building coi mission, served these notices in person, Until the prices demanded are ail received the com- mission cannot make any further progress. It is very evident that there is a decided prefer- | ence for the squares north of East Capitol street, and the property owners there seem to ppreciate the fuct that this preference exists. ince the passage of the library bill some of the lot owners within the squares have begun to say that they do not care to sell anyhow, and to enlarge upon the trouble of moving, ete. In ‘one case a party had included in the plat of his grounds # portion of a public alley, which he has been permitted to use for years in order to make the rear of his premises easily accessible. In view of the manitest disposition to get high prices for property in the north square, the commission regard it as highly probable ‘that they will purchase the south square. After all the property owners shail have been heard from, and their figures shall have been tabu- lated, the commission may decide to make ao appeal to the owners of the north square to re- adjust, by mmutual arrangement, thelt prices s0 as to bring the aggregate within the limit fixed by tne bill, ‘There’ is no intention, they say, of going beyond that limit,and if the horth square annot be had torthe money, then that on the south of East Capitol street will be taken, As Yet, of course, nothing ms been determined with regard to the material to be used tn the building, but a Stak reporter was informed that matble will probably be used. There are meinbers of both houses of Congress whoopenly declare in favor of the purchase of both the squares named in the library bill, provided the owners will agree to a reasonable figure. Mr. Hewitt, of New York, has expressed willing: ness to introduce and press a bill for the pur- chase of that one of the two squares which Will not be selected by the library commission, but before doing so he stipulates that all the 6wn- ers of lots within it sball set fofth in writing the lowest sums they will sell for, and aitix their signatures thereto, He does hot care to proceed upon an uncertainty. He wants to know the exact amount of money that will be necessary, So that he can fix that as the mit to the appropriation, There is a general disposi- tion to avoid a resort to condemuation in order to acquire property now regarded as essential to government uses, — soe The American Historical Association.

Mr. A. 8. Odell, chairman of the National Veterans’ Rights Union, addressed ® letter to Senators Edmunds ae Hoar making inquiry as to the truth of the report in the New York Herald that they had, in executive sess! on, made speeches speaking derisively of the sol diers and their clalihs to preferment in ap- pointments to office. Messrs. Edmunds and Hoar, in @ joint reply, characterize the publication’ as a “pure, un: qualified falsehood, both in substance ’ and form, fabricated from nothing but the mind of the writer, and, utterly unworthy of attention in any quarter.” Both the Senators, in their letter, express the deep gratitude they’ feel for the soldiers of the republic and say the stat- utes. recognizing the priority of soldiers’ claims to office, meet their full approval, as thelr yotes have shown. ————-~0+_____ ‘The President's Fature Bride.
