WASHINGTCN NEWS, WIAT MI. BRISTOW BAYS. Special Diepateh to The Chicado Tribune, WasuivoToN, D. €, Aug. G.—Becretary Bristow roturned to the Treasury this morn- ing. Tho firt subject that received his attontion was the roport of the Chicago Commirsion upon the Custom-Houso building. 1le summoned Suporvising-Architect Pottor, and was soon visited by Represeutntive Caulfleld, Bristow doos not sack to conceal tho popularity which tho subjoct occnstons. 1o haa gaid from tho first that this question has beon the most dif- ficult one of his sdministration, ‘Tho snbjoct seems to him to have becomo more intricate now. o said to-day that ko did not desiro to obposo the united sentiment of tho press and people of Chicago. Ho ouly wished that tho building shoutd ba constructed saitable to their wants and worthy of the Government. Ho has considered the oesential foatures of the Chicago roport, and, while he does mot abso- lutely say that Lis order suspending tho work is irrevocable, ho docs eay that, from the evidonco now befors bim, he will be compelled to abido by the report of the Govern- ment Commission, and by tho order ke has made. Two Cowmissions, both composed of competont and trustworthy men, have, says lie, como to two sutogonistic conclusions. There plaiuly s, bo thinks, now nothing left for him to do but refer tho matter to Cougress. DBristow eays that, outsldo of tho Govornment report, bo has recoved s largo smount of cumulative ovidenco which sustaius tho report. He ban recoived letters from prominent persons in Clucago,—some of the best men thers, ho says,—who urge him not to proceed with the ‘building on the prosont foundation. Prominent architocts, builders, aud practical men from other portions of the country have vialted tho building, and their unsnimous pri- vato report to tho Bocrowry s that the building should not be coustructed on thesa foundations. Tho evidonce in tho Department sgalnst going on with tho buildiug is, ho says, constantly sccurmulating. Gen. Bristow under- atands that Gon. Willism Bmith intended, when tho Chicago Commission bad completed its re- port, to publish 8 personal roport. This utate- ment would ‘bo of an unofticial character, but Dristow awats it, Bmith s underatood to bave in Do way modifled his views on acoount of the local report. Congressmau Caulflold represented how very earuestly all classes of the Chicago community were support- ing tlo Jocal report, but roceived from Bristow no different anawer than that which was giveu to your ropostor, Bristow caunol see his waytoa modification of tho order of susponsion. Bris- tow did call Caultloid's attontion to thostate- mont {u tho Mueller addrosa which raprosents an Interviow batween C. B. Farwell and Dristow, and the Iatter again repoated that Farwell tirst made tho suggesiion that thero was fraud belweon Musllor and Mullett about tho stone contract from the begivuiug, and, in this suggesuon of Farwoll, Dristow cancurred. WIAT ML POTTER THINES, ‘The Bupervising Arclitect was engaged with his scieutific associatos examining and makiog au analysis of the Chileago report. Potter main- tals that thero are very serious errors In the roport. Noteworthy among the orrors, firat, he says {s the sialomeut that & fouodation of G-lnch oak plaok 2 feet wide snd 4 fuel 4 juchea Jong, coveriug s area of l)I‘ square feet, was tirwly bodded in the olay. I'bis is mo impossiblo tost. e says such dimenslons would cover 7 feet and ot 4. Ue believea that from several orrors of this sort very erronoons conclusions have beeu reachod. Potter attaches much importancs to the fact that tho Chicsge Commissloners ro- port tbat it s ossible to g ou with the bullding, but do not state thatit is advisable. Cherbrough snd Boyington,be Is con- fident, wauld never Lave signed the roport if it bad recommonded that golng on with the bulld- i0g wau advisable, Potter received a lotter this morniug fiom Chicsgo, stating that Chesbrough was .the Iset man w0 wign the report, aud tiat Van Osdel Insisted on haviog his signsture. Potter mays tho question is not one of posmbility. e concedes thu posmbility, but the question Is, first, whethor the buiding shsll bo constructod of Buous Vista stone ; second, whethor tho huudlng sball bo proceeded with merely as & maieshift, or be constructed in a manner wonl%or the large ap- propriation and of the ocity, Dotter comments upun the sdmiesion that the Cincinuati bridge piord scaled for the flrat two yoars, and says tbas BMueller told him that, so far as durablity goes, tle stono fn the Cincinnati bridge was a4 good as any quality of the stoue. He thinks no stons should bo adwitted to the Chicago building which will scale for two yeais. Pottor suggests that the mothod proposed by tho Commission of equalizing the weight by clanging the foun a under tho swailer piers, would increase the wolght upon the }uumhuon 10 6,000 inetead of 4,000 pounds. i CHICAGO FEELING. TBE WIIOHT ESTIMATE. ‘Thoro ia & peculisr—not to say extraordinary— state of thiuga msce manifest in reading the late literature of the new Custom-Houus of Chicago. ‘fo commenoe with, the Government Commission exami: ed the foundations, and sub- @itted & Laodsowelyslrawa plan, on whih was markod the weights which would nitimatsly rest upon esch pier whan the building waa finiened, sa well as the pounds resting on each pier when the examination wsamade, Thecalculattonanecearary to make this map, or plan, of the piers, and their loads, were msds by the Governmoot en- gineers, and wera suppossd Lo bs basad ou the mmost accurate stalemant of facta possible to bo bad, including caleulationn of the number of cubit feot of atone. the number of brick, and tho pounds of Jron Lo be used to complete the build- ing. To advance & step furthar it may bo aaid that when the Coleago Conyne -sion engagod in the work of making & caretsl oxamination of Lhe buildiog, they found tLu:.nelves embarransed at the verystart by lack of knowledge of tho waghts 1o bo boruo by the base of the plers. Whethor tho Commission did not demre to epend time, or whother somo othor reamon prevailed; I8 not clear; but st any rate thoy did not undertake the woarisomo job of making for thomselven calenlationa of the weights to bo Lorne, but adojted tho simpler method of sending to Washington and obtaioing from the Bupervising Architact THE BAME TAULE OF WEIQHTS that had before been used by the Government Commiunion, With this tablo at band the Chicago arclitectn proceeded with the exsmiustion, and, in their report Jately made, assert that thore will bea meight of 81.692.000 pounda in the completed building, and that there will ba 16.614 sq feot of concreto baso to carry it, which wili pive 4,917 pounds to the fool. It'is to be wuppossd from information gained vesterdsy that the measucoments which gave tho nros of benring surfaco wore made by the Commiesion theme solvey. i When tho report of the Chicagnauy reachiod Waslungton, THE OTINION OF BUPCUYISING-ANCIHITECT POTTER wau unfavorable, and e vald to Tus Tmnuxe's Washioglan roprocantativo that in nvery in- stance whiro the Chicago architects hiad referred to tho waight of the comploted buildiug they hsd cetimated it at only one-half the actual weight, I his I8 an extraordinary statoment, whon it 1 considared that the only ttne they zefor to the complote weight Is when they put it at exactly tho figures furnished, as they say, by tha Sunlrvlsl::ig Architect himsclf. Hero is an importan!, and aven vital differonce of opiuton, and ons which will causo ona or the other of the roporta to fall flat, or, in the expressive langnago of an emiploye, *somaof the Commissions must hunt graasn.” The truth, and the final result of tho proaeedings, probably lies between theso two eets of figuros; but at present the Chicago Comimiaeion bas a hittlo the best of it, because they seosio to hiave used a_sot which wero fur- nished Ly Mr. Pottor, and yet he mow denies them in offect, THERE 1A A CITANCE FOR A MISUNDERSTANDING in the pk.raxeology of tho report, and it may bo that Archiitoct Potter furnished the tablo with tho undei stending that the Commistion wan:ed nothing n10te than tha weight of the walls, whit they have used and understood it as tho weight of tho fully complated building, with wills, floors, roa f, etc. Unless this shall prove to Lo the caso, ¢ is hard to sco how the difercncs oc- curred, If, instei1d of toking excention to tho state- ment of the aggregate weight, Mr. Potter bad found fault with thostatemeunt of tho weighittobo borne by ench square foot, it might eacily have bean euppos od that the Governmont Comminsion figurod on the area of tho bawe mtones of the piors, while the Chicago Comminsion fignred on the squsro fot in the supporting concroto, which they declare tv bo a good foundation, and which thoy do not find to bave cracked. 1t 18 o fatr prophecy thit there will be another thiorough 1uvestigution of tho Custom-fouss by a third Commssion r:foro any conclusion iv roached.
