SOME NEW BUILDINGS ed The purchase made by Mr. O. T. Crosby of a building site on the Loughboro’ road, nerth of the grounds of the American Uni- versity, was noted with a good deal of in- terest by those who have property in that vicinity, as well as by those who are look- ing about for a favorable investment in real estate. It 1s encouraging to dealers and to others to find that this latter class is getting to be rather numerous, and while some of the large transactions which h recently been made have been in operty in that general locality, yet it is felt that activity In one direction will prove of benefit to property throughout the entire District.

FREE SILVER MEN 10 ASSEMBLE Will Convene the Day Before the Regular Convention. HILL AND -CROKER Peet Se ee. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, September 22, 1998. “A high old mix” expresses the situation so far as the New York e democrats are concerned at the present time. At the conclusion of the conferences attended by Senator Murphy, Richard Croker, ex-Sen: tor Hill and Senator McCarren of the com- mittee of ten, practically in charge of the democratic campaign in this state, Sena- tor McCarren gave out an interview to the effect that the state platform of the demo- cratic party this year would make no refe: ence to national issues. There are some New York state leaders who regard this much- heralded interv: with Senator McCarren as being of the nature of a “feeler."”. There is no doubt that Murphy, Hill, Croker, Be mont and McCarren would prefer to have gn conducted with reference to state issues only. But with thirty-four members of Congress and with a United States senator to elect it is difficult to see how the free silver an be entirely eliminated from the campaign. The demo- cratic leaders in the state are not anxious to face the adverse majority of a quarter of a million of two yeaps ago, knowing as they do that the indorsement of free silver in New York state spell ‘uin.’” Silver Men Heard From. At the same time if the McCarren inter- view was intended as a-feeler,” Senator McCarren and the dther state leaders have already heard from the free silver men up the state. Calvin E. Keach, chairman of the Albany free silver convention, has al- ready started on th: war path and is breathing out threatenings and slaughter, so far as the Syracus@ convention is con- cerned. He has called @ conyention of Chi- cago platfrom democrats to meet at Syra- cuse the day previous to the regular demo- cratic convention. Six trainloads of Bryan- ites have agreed to swoop down on Syra- cuse the day before the regular convention from Erie county and other counties in western New York. As many more Bryan- ites have promised to attend from New York city and the eastern half of the state. The free silver men have been stirred into action by the interview with Senator Mc- Carren. If they succeed in nothing else they may be expected to make things lively for Tammany Hall, ex-Senator Hill and the regular democratic organization. Anyhow it is a pretty fight. If the regu- lars indorse the Chicago platform and Bryanism, Flower, Belmont and Whitney may again be expected to bolt; if they fail to indorse the Chicago platform the free silver men will bolt and nominate not only state, but local tickets. Senator Murphy, whose interests in the campaign are great- er than any other democrat, wanted the principles of the democratic national party reaffirmed in a weak sort of way, but he was outvoted by the other leaders, and he finally yielded to the majority at the con- ference. He has been told plainly that if this is not dene the Chicago platform democrats will nominate anti-machine candidates for senate and assembly. In- asmuch as some of the districts are ex- tremely close these free silver nominations may cost Senator Murphy his seat in the Senate. Hill and Croker.

The recent interview of Governor Stone of Missour! upon the subject of in- dorsing the party platform, and the possi- bilities of the regularity of the New York state democracy being called in question in the event of a failure to do this has been widely circulated, and it has undoubtedly had the effect of frightening some of the up-state democratic leaders. —> HONORS TO GED GARCIA. Enthusiastic Reception to the Cuban Leader at Santiago. A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba yes- terday says great enthusiasm marked the popular celebration over General Garcia’s arrival in Santiago. At 9 o'clock in the morning General Wood, with part of Gen- eral Iawton’s staff and several American officers, met Gereral Garcia outside the city limits and escorted him into the town. Garcia was accompanied by his staff, his son, Col. Calixto Garcia, many Cuban otti- cers who have recently come to Santiago and 200 Cuban cavalry. ‘The streets through which the party pass- ed were throrged with cheering people. Probably 10,000 persons were crowded into the plaza in frcnt of the palace, where Garcia dismounted. He was met at the door by General Lawton, and an informal reception by the American officers was held in the audience room. At night another reception was tendered General Garcia at the San Carlos Club, which was thronged with prominent Cu- bans, American officers end ladies. The plaza was brilliantly lighted and decorated with fiags, and music was furnished by the band of.the 5th Infantry. The Americans wore dress uniforms and Gencral Garcia and his officers wore white uniforms and high boots. General Garcia will remain in Santiago for several days. ———_—___+ e+_____ Women Single Taxers, A Woman’s Single Tax Club of the Dis- trict of Columbia was organized last Tues- day evening, wken the following officers were elected: President, Dr. Mary E.
