M. — > LEASING OF CONVICTS, ‘The Question Discussed Before the Tennes- see Legislature at Length. During the present session of the Tennessee legislature the question as to whether or not ! the lessees of the state prison have the author- ! ity to sublease convicts bas been discussed. | n providing for the appointment ittee to wait upon Attorney General Pickel and secure bis opinion on the subject was adopted. The attorney general has given the committee bis opinion. ‘Lhe report of the H committee, eccompacied by the opinion, was} submitted to the house yesterday. The opin-| ion is a long one, and contaius many references to acts of the general assembly and to prec dents. The substance of the opinion ia this In the act authorizing the lease there is no di rect or indirect allusion to the giving to the lessees the power to sublease. If such power exists it exists es an unlimiled power, which would probably not be a safe admission. it is safe, however, to infer, in the absence of such expressed authority, that the legislature did not intend to confer such power. ‘The opinion is that the lessees without express authority of the general assembly may not sublease the con- victs or any part of them. Mr. Johnson at once iniroduced a resolution instructing the state board of prison inspectors to order ail convicts now subieased toe be re- turned to the main prison cr to prisons owued by the lessees themselves. The resolution was disctssed at length. Mr. Hall in his speech said it seemed that the trouble at Bricevilie had ariven not asa result of the lease system, but of the sublease system. He hoped the resolution would be adopted. It was a matter of record that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company had sublet its conviews. Mr. Ledger Wood spoke in oppo- sition to the resolution, saying that be dida't know, and the house did not know, that there has been a prisoner in Tennessee’ subleased. ‘The resolution was finally adopted by a vote of 68 to 21. The resolution now goes to the sen- ale. ee THE MARYLAND REPUBLICANS. Messrs. Vannort and Westcott May Settle ‘Their Differences Today. ‘The Baltimore American today says: “The problem which has blocked the progress of the republican party of this state for the time being will, in ell probability, be solved very soon. Mr. Charles T. Westcott, chairman-elect of the state central committee, left Baltimore for his home in Chestertown yesterday after- noon. The Kent county republican convention will be held today, which both Col. Vannort and Mr. Westcott, it is expected, will attend. Mr. Westcott’s friends now hope that the two gentlemen may ‘get together’ at the county con- vention today, and after talking over the matters in regard to the muddle Mr. Westcott’s frionds think that the two, prominent Kent county republicans may be able to come to an under- Manding which may result in a happy issue of the ‘difteulty. If they do not come today of their own free wills it is likely in will endeavor to bring about a conference tomorrow, in order to see if any- can ished by having Col.

QUEER CASES OF LAKCENY, ‘Odd Excuses Made for Defendants in the Police Court. When George Reed, seventeen-year-old colored boy, was called before Judge Kimball today on a charge of stealing a box of peaches from a wagon at the Center Market his coun- sel, Lawyer Foster, entered a plea of guilty. He said he had learned from Lawyer Martin that the boy belonged to a good family, and as this was his first offense he asked that the court be lenient with the boy. Lawyer Martin said he thought it was a dis- easo with the boy. “Then,” suid the judge, “you mean he is klevtomaniac?” < “Yes, sir,” I think cestors.”” dea Lawyer Mari 4 “and he inherited it from some of Judge Kimball ssid he would make the fine » small one—85 or fifteer days.

SAUNDERS CLOSELY QUESTIONED as ‘TO THE BASIS OF HIS VALUATIONS—AGRICUL- ‘TURAL LANDS AND VILLA SITES. The crose-eramination of Mr. L. M. Saunders by Mr. Wilson was continued before the Rock Creek Park commission yesterday afternoon after Tax Sran’s report closed. Mr. Saunders explained a8 to the Shoe- makers’ tracts, why he gave his valuation and why he wonld not raise them. After recess Mr. Saunders, in answer to Mr. Wilson, compared the Warder with other tracts as to their capability of subdivision, &c. MR. WILSON’S BIBLICAL ALLUSIONS. After the witness had described a view Mr. Wilson eaid: “You get a glimpse of the prom- ised land from the present There was another who viewed the promised land and — there till forty years after.” Mr. Perry—Didn't get there at all, ju You should brush up on your Bible studies.

Judge Wilson asked if it had increased $200 since yesterday. Mr. Saunders said if he had said $1,000 yes- terday he intended to say $1,200. His reccl- lection was that on one of the Jones tracts he put $1,000 and on the other $1,200 Judge Wilson asked after calling attention to parcels 59, 60 and 61 what would land of the same size in the rear of tracts be worth. Wit- ness said it would be 83 per cent less valuable, because a road would have to be provided for. A tract adjoining 61, with front on the Blagden Mill road, would be worth 2800, and additional lots he would place at $700, $600 und so on lower down. The rear table land he estimated generally at £1,000 per acre. He had divided tract 39 into three grand divisions. the table lands at $1,000, the ‘eastern at $900 and the western at Judge Wilson remarked: “‘And yet you put the highest at $800," Mr. Saunders said that it was a piece of ab- surdity for him tosegregateprices without roads and ask him to put on it the value of €1,000 which he bad placed on that division of the tract. Mr. L. M. Saunders said that he (Mr. Wilson) hail made the subdivision, and if he insisted on cutting it into pieces he would insist on cut, ting the price. He had made his estimate on forty or forty-five acres at $1,000 per acre. VILLA SITES AND PARK LANDS. On cross-examination by Mr. Lambert, Mr. Saunders said in his valuation he had in view the best purposes to which the land was adapted—that for which the government pro- posed to use it. It was well known that 90 per cent of the land in the park was of no value for agricultural purposes. While it was not proper to be actuated by sympathy, it was impowsible not to have some sympathy for the owners, who were having the land taken from them by force, asit were. The Freas tract he valued at $875 an acre, and he considered it as good farmin, land in connection with the purpose for whic! it isintended. The Freas tract could not be! judiciously subdivided into small lots at pros ent, but the time may come. It could be di- vided into four sites. In making his estimates | he had a recital of sales made within the limits of the park, some of which he had picked up in this room.’ He had been qfite diligent, and made up bis estimates from what he had heard and from observation. By Mr. Wm. Stone Abert—Witnors did not go upon the Blagden tract (73). He appraised it for park uses and had given a relative vaiue. If there was any considerable portion of to} land it was worth more, but there was muc! that was of little use. At this point Mr. Abert proposed to accom- modate Mr. Maddox by turning witness over to im. Mr. Saunders said he had not examined Rose- mont as to its subdivisions, but might testify as to Mr. Page's property. DID NOT WANT ANY MORE CUTTING. Mr. Maddox suggested that he had hed enough of Mr. Page's land. Each succeeding day witness cut his valtation down and he feared if two or three witnesses more testified he woutd have to give it away, for it would take but few #500 cuts to reach that figure. Mr. Saunders arranged with Mr. Maddox to make a further examination of Rosemont. Mr. Saunders was further examined by Mr. 9. 1891. Mr. +—We have bad a man up a tree. Mr. Me! asked what would be the ef- fect of the ment of rk. the Mr. Saunders said that it would tend to make the District more attractive He did not think the withdrawal of the park land would have mucheffect on the market. If the land was suitable for building purposes it would have a stimulating effect, byt the 2,000 acres were of oe it would not have much ef- fect. He thought that there would be some dis- 8p) tinent as to the k, and said it would have litte ‘effect on the Adjoining property ‘unless ronds and railroads were opened up. Mr. Saunders further testified that the prices paid for lands in the vicinity of the park were extravagant considering the two great uses for the ground—agricultural and subdivisional. There were also the elements of the reflex of the owth of the city and the adjacent territory to & considered. He had in his mind in his valuations the salee of the Cowden and Woodside tracts, the sales of Shoemaker to Jones, ‘Truesdell, ‘Bex, Hen- derson, Dartt, Burdorff, Newman, Willis, Chil- dren's Country Home, Cummings, Fletcher and others. —___ THE CHOSEN FRIENDS.

TODAY'S SESSION. ‘The commission resumed its sessions this morning and Mr. Lorin M. Saunders resumed the stand for further cross-examination by Mr. William Stone Abert. Eight acres in the north- west corner of the Dos Pasios tract on the military road (No. 38) he valued at $550 per acre. The whole he had valued at £450, but would have to reduce his valuation on the rest to $438 or €439 per acre if the eight acres were taken off. Mr. Abert moved to strike out that part de- preciating the valuation as not responsive, but ‘was overruled. Mr. Saunders did not consider the availa- bility of tract 38 for country homes. He had considered the subdivision of tract 37 (Dos Passos north tract) into villa sites, but it would increase the taxation to cut it up, and the time had not come for so doing. He had considered it asa whole asso much land and in conjunction with the park project and contiguous lands. He hardly knew what it could be used for. He did not believe that it would yield corn, rye or wheat, but it could be made available for agricultural purposes ut the expense of manure, subsoiling, &c. ‘THE PRICES OFFERED BY THE GOVERNMENT. ‘Mr. Abert asked if he had not put the valua- tions in the lower part of the park at from 1,500 to €1,800 per acre less than the prices offered by the government. Mr. Perry objected, aud arguments followed by Messrs. Abert, Wilson and Lee for the ownere and Mr. Perry for the government. ‘The commission excluded the question, re- marking that they had not seen the list of offers nor did they want anything todo with the prices therein stated, and they were not to be guided by it nor should they know anything of it inferentially. ‘Judge Wilson said the trouble was that when the witnesses go out to view the lands they have the lists in their pockets and when they are under cross-examination they find the paper. He asked that it be noted that the witness pro- duced the paper on cross-examination. Mr. Perry said he was gotiing tired of ref- erence to this paper. He submitted that the criticism of him was as to what he should havo been criticised for ifhe had not done as he had. ‘The owners und their witnesses had been walked over the land and coached, and there seomed to be a concert of action on their part. Judge Wilson said that Mr. Perry seemed sensitive and he desired to have it put down in capital letters that he had not criticised Mr. Perry, but on the other hand he had always cominended his zeal in the case and if words could be found to more strongly express a dis- claimer he asked that they be used. Mr. Lambert indorsed what Judge Wilson had said, und he said that these was not the ightest disrespect used or intended. ir, Abert said that he had understood that Mr. Perry didnot furnish the paper and there- fore he had no ides of criticising him. Chairman Norris remarked that witness could be examined as to what effect the paper had upon him. Ashe had before stated the com- mission had not seen the paper, although they found it floating around. alt, Perty said he had been carefal to have © Pa ordinate councils, “The death benetits paid during the year aggregated $1,871,600 aud the disability payments #70,9p0. sca chee SHOOTING STARS. 11's 50, Too! ‘Tho Welshmen have a picnic At Bethesda Park today, Eisteddfod bach am cwrw da, Shwdachyhethy— Say?

One delegate boldly asserted that the family of the queen, apart from her- self, had no claim whatever on the country and that it wasan outrage that the people should be expected to contribute to support. | The long list of royal descendants was canvassed in vain for a name that the workingmen could consistently honor by special mention at their banquet, but not one could be found worth; on his count for any such testimont rat scandal was gone over and alto- it_was a discussion to make the ears of royalty tingle. The conclusion was reached that none should be honored but the queen. THE CZAR TO AVOID THE KAINER. =. A Berlin dispatch says that the news that the czar would avoid meeting the kaiser on the re- turn of the former from Denmark to St. Petere- burg is quoted in confirmation of the views of those who anticipate war. A meeting between the two sovereigne had been arrai time ago, to take place after the czai Copenhagen.
