CRAGIN AND TRUES- DRLL ALSO STATE THEIR OPINION®—VARIATIONS ‘1X VALUES IN DIFFERENT SECTIONS. ‘The investigation into assessment of prop- orty in the District still goes on merrily. Mr. Warner in his testimony yesterday gave his estimates on the value of ‘877, on which is situated the Loan and Trust Company building and Mr. Warner's own office. ‘Mr. Warner's values were as follows: East half of lot 19 at $25to $90 per f wot half 19 at 10, east baif 18 at S10, mest half 18 at $8, cast half 17 at $8, west half 17 at ¢13 to $15, cast half 15 at $18 to $15, west half 16 at 58, east half 15 at €8, west half 15 at 210, east half 14 at $10, lot 18 at $20, 12 at $6, 10 and 11 at $6, 9 at 86, 8 at $12, west half 7 at 85, east half 7 at $3.50, east balf of 6 at €3.50, west half of 6 at $3, lot 5 at @3, 4 at $3, 3 at $3, 2 at $8.50, Lat $15, 24 at @10, 23 at $10, 22 at $12.50, part of 20 and 21 at @30 to 85; balance lot, €35. Nor FAIR SAMPLES. The committee, so far as can be seen from ‘Tux Stan's report, has confined its efforts to F street property between 9th and 16th streets, although some few other squares, mainly in East Washington, havo boon touched on. It has been suggested to tho committee that the values of F street property are not fair samples, as many people are of opinion that property on that street has reached a fictitious value. ‘The committee bas accepted this suggestion and will before the in- Vestigation is over take up squares on 7th st Pennsylvania avenue and the northwest- tion of the city, ‘MR. GLOVER'S TESTIMONY. At the investigation this morning Mr. B. H. Warner did considerable cross-questioning of witnesses, Mr. C. C. Glover was the first witness and his testimony related 1a to general matters. Cross-questioned by Mr. Johns Mr. ought there ties in tho asscssment. He bad me extremely low assessments. has improved so lately that the old ussesments Lear uo relation to the present values. The main benefits, he thought, were on Capitol Hill and in Georgetown. ‘Some favoritism was shown, he believed, on F street. In answer to questions from Mr. Johnson Mr. Glover said he considered three years Rone too long to take assessments. PROPERTY ON F STREET. Reference was made to the property on northeast corner of 14th and F streets and Mr. Glover thought if put up at auction it would bring 35 per foot, and F street property he thought had reached the highest price it would reach for many years, Further questions brought out the fact that Mr. Glover did not consider that one customer and his offer would make a value for property; what property would bring at auc- tion he thought constituted its market value. THE RIGGS BANK PROPERTY. ‘Tho Riggs Bank property was worth about 250 per foot, he thought, and the opposite property about the same. ‘This vaiue, however, would depend entirely for what purpose it was used. Property just above had been recently offored for 215. ‘Mr. Glover said he thought the assessment should bo equal all over tho city. Mr. Warner asked if he knew of anybody who did not have that wish, The answer wasno and Mr. John- son said they were all agreed then und fol- lowed the remark by asking Mr. Glover if he knew of any way to attain an equitable assoss- ment. MR. GLOVER’S PLAN, “In a general way,” said Mr. Glover, “by having a permanent board of assessors who shall have adequate time to do their work, and by having the best men possible on this board.” If the assessors worked with open doors Mr. Glover thought they would never be able to complete their work. In answer to Mr. Warner's question, the witness said that inequalities of assessments were largely brought about by especial advan- tages in especial localities. The low rates had brought much capital to the city and he knew two of the present assessors and cousidered them thoroughly correct, honest men. Property in the city was assessed at more than one-third of ite value. ‘MR. CHAS. H. CRAGIN’S TESTIMONY. The next witness was Mr. Chas. H. Cragin who testified that he ws lawyer and had had considerable experience in various court sales of property. He had also himself made a number of sales lately, acting as trustee. In answer to questions he expressed it as his opinion that in the poorer sections of the city the proportion of assessment was larger than on F street and in other localities, He considered that East Washington values had increased in the last few years to very considerable extent. Referring to the sale of the property at the northwest corner of 11th and F streets he said that he considered $65 a foot entirely too high a price. In answer to Mr. Johnson as to what he considered should be the interpretation of the law in re- gard to values he replied that he thought it meant what property would bring at any time under adverse circumstances. Mr. Warner asked the witness if hoe knew the present as- sessors and what his opinion of them was. Mr. Cragin replied that he knew them and consid- ered them eminently qualified and honorable men. ‘MR. TRUESDELL'S TESTIMONY. Mr. George Truesdell was the next witness and in answer to Mr. Warner's questions testi- fied that he had had considerable experience in suburban property. There had been @ great rise lately suburban prices, Mr. Truesdell testified that he paid” 600 an acre for the Eckington property, and that the highest price per acre for which it had been sold was about £21,000. It was assessed, he thought, at about 10 cents a» foot. The increaso in the prices of the property, he thought, was almost en- tirely due to the improvements which had been made in the way of paving. rapid transit, sewers, &c, About $500,000 had been spent in this way. In answer to other questions he said that he thought there were some in- equalities in the assessment which were due largely to rapid increases in value in par- ticular sections. If property were uniformly assessed he thought equalization would come when unnatural vibrations in prices ceased. The assessments heretofore had been made at times by incompetent men. Mr. Warner asked if Mr. Truesdell was acquainted with the pres- ent board of assessors. Mr. Truesdell replied thet he knew two of them and that he consid- ered them men of high character and well qualified for their positions, MR. DOWLING'S OPINION. Mr. Thomas Dowling testified that he had becu an auctioneer in this city for thirty years, Property at auction sales brought more than the assessed value, but as far as he had considered the matter he thought the assessments fair and knew of no inequali- ties, Speaking of the present board of assess- ots he said that three better men could not bo selected for the purpose. In answer to Mr. Warner's questions Mr. Dowiing testified that in his opinion the prices of property on F street were fictitious, os fo thought that proper! assessed what it would bring ander adverse circuma- stances. Speaking of the prese rty on F street he thoug! te between 9th and 12th streets would b: from thirty-five to forty dollars a foot an the inferior lots about §: Struck the Corean Minister's Wife.

Geo. W. Cullom, deceased, for the erection =e maintenance of s memorial hall at the vest Point Military Academy. Mr. Hawiey said that such a noble bequest deserved something more than mero formal referenco to a committee and made a brief ad- dress of eulogy of Gen. Cullom. The communication was referred to the oom- mittee on military affairs, TER PURCHASE OF SILVER BULLIOx, The resolution offered soveral wecks ago by ‘Mr. Stewart calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for certain information as to the pur- chase of silver bullion and the coinage of standard silver dollars under the act of 1890, was taken up for action and was agreed to with an amendment, offered by Mr. Morrill, requir- ing the Secretary to state also the amount which the silver dollars and bullion on hand would have cost at the present price of silver bullion, THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL. The consideration of the army appropriation bill was then resumed, the question being on striking out the House proviso which prohibits Payment for transportation of troops and sup- lies of tho army over any of the unbonded poseowned.sontretio’ or operated by the Union fic Railway Company, This led to dis- cussion of the relations of the railroad to the government, THE HOUSE. ‘The opening hour of the House session today was an unusually dull one, Various measures Were presented for action, They were all of local importance; but after the time had been consumed in the reading of the bills and re- ports objections to their passage were inter- Jected. _ By unanimous consent (the Walker expung- ing resolution still blocking the way of the reg- ular order). the House went into committee of the whole (Mr. Ontes of Alabama in the chair) on the diplomatic and consular appropriation A TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN DIPLOMACY. Mr. Hooker (Miss.) paid a high tribute to the success of American diplomacy. It was diplo- macy which had settled our Chilean difficulties. Ithad been dipiomacy which had settled the Bering sea controversy. Fortunately for the country it had in the position of Sec- retary of State oa man of such large and diplomatic ability that he had settled these questions by diplomacy. Chile had been com- pelled to salute the fiag she had insulted and to make reparation. Salisbury had been com- pelled to renew the modus vivendi. In accomplishing these results the Secretary of St had been assisted by the ministers to Chile and to Great Britain. Mr. Blaine had shown himself to be a great statesman by the manner in which he had treated these ques- tions. When a man came to be premier of this government he was not a partivan ropre- senting a party; he was a statesmen represent- ing the country. @ Secretary of State—whether he wasa Bayard or a Blaine—should'scout the ides that he represented one party. The of State acted for the whole country. THE INTERNATIONAL RiILWwar. ‘Mr. Hooker then proceeded to speak in favor of the appropriation of $65,000 for the prelim- inary survey of the international railway; and urged the importance of ming the com- mercial and social bonds which connected the people of the United States with the people of the —— of the south. s iteh ppd meagre to the bill as far as it proposed to reduce consular pay and to consolidate missions, ia CAPITOL TOPICS, INVESTIGATING BANK FAILURES, The House committee on banking and cur- rency today began the investigation ordered by = Mutehler resolution into the failure of the Keystone and tional Bank of Béston.
