But the Samuel R. Brown building on Capitol avenue, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, which is now very nearly combpleted, calls for special attention, more particu- lnrlr on account of the great popularity of the firm that is to occupy it. This building is 066x80 feet on the ground and four stories in height, facing south on Capitol avenue. The first floor and basement will be occupied by the well known grocers and general house furnishers, W. R. Bennett & Co., who will vacate their present quarters on Fif- teenth street about October 15th. In this connection a short history of this firm will not be out of place. It was in December of 1878,that W. R. Bennett & Co. first opened their business in a room 18x50 feet in size, At this time that space was ample, but In a few months more room was needed and from year to year, as other stores adjoining could be cureqa, they added to their space until their store to.day is 54x50 feet, with enough goods in it to filla room three times its size. As itlis they are actually Lxunmvd. The business which they have uilt up is truly wonderful, From a small beginning their trade has grown to a cash business of over $200,000 @ year- The secret of their success is due 1 a reat measure to the untiring efforts of r.

The copy re- tained in my office is clearly addressed to the board of transportation, and it is diflicult to believe the Lincoln Freight bureau would re- tain for thirty days a letter addressed on the inside to other parties.

WABHINGTON, Sept. 7.—|Special Telegram to the BEE.|—At the Chinese lezation there wasa conference last night between the Mitkiewicz-LBarker syndicate, the Chinese ministerand the mandarins who accompanied Mitkiewicz to this country. This conference lasted until a very late hour and the result was that a cablegram was sent to China to-day in which the names of the gentlemen who have subscribed for the stock ot the syn- dicate were given. 1tseems that the amount of money to be subscribed has been over- rated. 1t is §25.000,000 instead of $50,010,000, Of this sum $12,000,000 have been subscribed by the Chinese. The secretary of the legation said to-day that the Chinese pgovernment would take §5,000,000 of the @stock and that the other $7,000,000 would have to be subscribed by merchants in the Chinese empire. ‘Ihere were a number of men with more or less capital at their disposal at the Manning house to-day, who were anxious to get it ‘on the ground floor, but they were too late, It is said that Drexel. Morgan & Co,, of Philadel- phia, have agreed to take upwards of $2,080,- 000 of the stock, which will be sold in the United States, and that every share is spoken for. Mr. Ching Yen Hoon, the Chinese min- ister, 1s said to be fullv satisfied with the re- sponsibility of the gentlemen who form the svndicate, and there is excellent authority for saying that the concessions were com- leted to-day by tne addition of his signature to the S which were brought from by Mitkiewicz and his fellow travelers. The amount at which the scheme is capitalized will seem rather small for the enterprise which ure to be undertaken, but it is said by Mr. Barker's representative that the sum will be amule for the present, as the empire of China is not developed up to the point of gridironing the country as yet. Besides this, the cost of labor 1s S0 low in China that the work will be accomplished at an expen- diture far less than similar enterprises would require in this country. While the tinancial record of tkiewicz in the United States may not have been always just what itshould ave been, the Chinese mandarins who ac- npany him seem to bave the highest re- gard for his ability as a financier. T praise his sort of saviour. They assert that th prise will be the making of the empire. e A Congressman’s Son Whips an Um- pire. WASIHINGTO! Sept. gram to the Ber, [—Mr. Roger O. Mills, of ‘Texas, a dewocrat of the strongest sect, has a son named Charles, and Charles in an em- ploye of the dootkceper of the house, of which Mr. Mills is a member. Mr. Charles Mills lias been spending gometime in resting from his wearisome labors at Cavon Springs, and being an enthusiastic admirer of the great national gawme, organized an amateur base ball nine, which, whenever opportunity offered, disported themselves on the diamond field with regulation bat ana ball. The negro iters at Capon Springs also had a base ball'nine, and, & few days since, the nine of My, Mills met the colored nine in a_regular set game, with an attache of the Mexican legation here as umpire, and the colored bat- ters and fielders got away with their white brothers. Mills objected to the decisions of the umpire and hot words ensued. These ied to blows, and tne umpire, instead of tining the captain of the white club, chal- lenged him to light a duel, Mills accepted the challenge, and, as by the code he had the cnoice of weapons. he selected the good old Anglo-Saxon kind, tists, The result was a prize lizht under the rezulations of the Lon- don prize ring. ‘Tue Mexican was badly ;muh‘m«l. and the result is that he will be very reluctant to umpire another base ball gaue. = —|Special Tele- Working on the Tariff. WAsHINGTON, Sept. 7.—|Special Telegram to the B ongressman Randall, like Speaker Carliste, denles that he is here for thie purpose of attending any taritf confer- ence, It is learned on the best authority that the president and Speaker Carlisle have is now being inspected by Secretary Fair- child. The main features of the proposed administration bill are the abolition of the tax on tobacco and fruit brandy, and a large addition to the free list. There Is also a considerable reduction proposed in tariff duties. Mr. Randall, it is Kknown, will be asked some very pointed questions by the president in relation to his course next winter, His power is known and dreaded. He practically commands the election of the speaker, Although he cannot have himself elected without republican votes, he can de- feat with the balance of power that he con- trols any measure put forward by the tariff reformers. Hisdeclarations to the preident and Mr. Carlisle this week will therefore bave great significance, 'The internal revenue features ot tne new bill have been inserted as a conciliation to Randall, but coming fresh from the victory in Pennsylvania, he will be in no yielding mood. e Army Orders.
