The two elevators of the new electric type were built by the Sprague Elevator Co., and have been thoroughly tested by the crowds which thronged the store dur- ing the opening. The service leaves noth- ing to be desired, and gives perfect access 4 °. It is stated on authority that no recent negotiations have taken place between Sec- retary Sherman and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador, concerning a new arbitration treaty between the United States and Great Britain, and Sir Julian has not spoken of the matter to Secretary Sherman since he returned some weeks ago from London. These explicit statements were called out by a report published in a London newspaper, to the effect that nego- tiations on the new treaty bad progressed to the final stage, that it would be a modi- fled version of the former Olney-Paunce- fote treaty, and that it was now so far along that it would be submitted to the Senate soon after it assembled. According to an official fully conversant with all negotiations of this character, the little that has been done is far short of completion. Thus far the matter has not gone beyond a preliminary suggestion that negotiations be resumed. But there has not been even the first stage of negotia- Ses vg Seer see te tentotsedtedty . We have taken our finer lines of furniture and ruthlessly cut into the prices. So deep has been the cutting that on these bargains we mention we will have to waive our rule of giving credit.

Sir Julian then went to London for the summer, and undoubt- edly discussed the subject with the author- ities there. He met Mr. Cremer, ex-mem- ber of parliament, who has urged an ar- bitration agreement, and went over the subject with him. It was thought the am- bassador on his return from London would discuss the matter with Mr. Sherman, and that negotiations might be opened. But he has not done so up to this time. When the ambassador recovers from his Present attack of rheumatism, which con- fines him to his room, he will probably pre- sent the treaty matter to Mr. Sherman. This may lead to official negotiations be- tween the two governments, although the present outlook is very much against any steps whatever toward a new treaty in the immediate future.

Mr. Talbott today told a Star reporter that his accident was caused by the careless- ness of a cab driver, who, after driving up to the sidewalk to allow him to alight, drove off suddenly as he was getting out. He went to the hospital without notify- ing any of his friends that he had been hurt, because, as he said, he did not wish to alarm either them or his family.

In the palmy days of Georgetown these coal tramways were busy scenes of labor, coal being transferred from canal boats, trans- ported in cars and rolled to the edge of the tramway, and then dumped into the hold of a schooner. Of late the traffic in this bus ness has been rather dull, and the tram- ways have fallen into partial decay. It is said the proprietors of the only remaining cne recently requested a permit to make repairs in the structure.

The general superintendent of the George- town and Tenleytown Electric railroad has received notice from the Commissioners to remove a trolley pole from a point near 37th street and Tenleytown road. This is caused by the extension of 37th street into the Tenleytown road. The troiiey pole has stood in the roadway of 37th street, and hence its removal has been made necessary. The pole will be located at the southeast corner of the street intersection. Brief Mention. Lawrence Janney, the son of Mr. B. T.
