WS CHICAGO TRIBU TUESDAY. SEPTLEMDBER 119 €5, 1877, 5 o wmount to £1,000,000, This vast str: searly rulucd fo<lay, known as the Latent OMice, Is only a eingle buresn in ‘the interfor Deportient. The structure recetves its designation of Patent-Office as the bullding around which the Interior Department ventres was oviginally constructed for the Patent-Office WTEN YEARS DEFORE. -~ The Interlor Department, which occuples tho pullding, fncludes the Indian Bureaw, Bureau of Educatfon, Patent-Ofice, a portlon of the Penston-Oflice, Land-Office, Bureau of Surveys of the Territories, and various minor bureaus under the charge of the Interior Department, Tho records of overything relating to patents, penslons, publie lands, Indlans, ccnsus, educa- tlon, bengvolent socicties of the District of Columbta, railrond land-grants, arc for the most part located Inthe building. Thie main portion of tho structure is of Vir- nis freestone. It was completed in 1564, under the charge of Edward Clark, the present architect of the Capitol. The building was In * THE PORM OF A QUADRANGLE, fucluding & largo squarc. The new portions of the building were faced on the outside with Maryland marble, and on the instde facing the court with New England granite, The structura was modeled after the Parthenon or Temple of Minerva.” Art critics have described the luterior Department 88 ona of the most majestic struct {ures in Washington. The southern front of the Treasury Department lins more architectural geaco, but the advantage of the Patent Offico was that from any polnt it Impressed one with ita grandeur. In outward appearance the firo T 148 LEPT SLIGHT TRACE, - s the exterior wallsdo not appearto bo serious- 1y injured. The entire building 18 of pure Dor- {¢ architeclure, strong, slmple, majestlc. The gouthern front is & perfect copy of the Papthe- oo at Rome, and the eastern portion Is modeled after that of the Parthenon ot Atlicns. The most damage was done in tho Patent Office, cs- " pecially In the musoum of models, There was something like 200,000 models classified In sub- divisions, and comprising everything that had peen collected sinco the destruction of the old Patent Office in 1836, Tho up- per rooms, near. tho spot where the fire was firat dlzmvfl'cd, wero filled with models that bad been drying for & quarter of a century to feed the flames to-day. 1t {a diffcult to tell WIIAT AS BEEN LOST, but i¢ is positive some of the most notablo his- torical relics detained {n the bullding have been saved. Among these relica was the voal worn vy Jackson at New Orlcans, DcKalb's war sad- dle, and most of tho curlous artlcles which Lind been presented Lo the Government by different countrics, and from timo to timo storod in the Patent Office. The room where these mod- ols were stored waa originally Intended as an exhibltion of articles of home manufacture, but {n the progress of time beeamo dovoted to the Patent-Oflice muscum. It was without an equal In the world, and was always referred to by strangers asvllustrating TUE DEVELOPMENT OP AMERICAN INDUBTRIES. It was possible In this room to trace the progress of mechanieal arta o this country since the foundation of the Muscum In 1830. {t Is fortunate for tho pensioners of the Gov- srnment that the never-ceasing acvumulations of public records had caused the remuval of tho greater part of tho Ponston-Oflice xcords from the Interfor Department tuilding before the destructive fire of today, Formerly tho oflice of Commissloner of Pensions was in the Patent- Office Building. Mauny of the,most valuable records of the Penslon Offico were also kept there, but theso records now fill one of tho temporary buildings In which the incrcase of wublic bualness hos compelied tho Government totake refuge. It is probable, therciore, that he pensloncrs . HAVE NOT SUFFERED MUCIH, slthough a few papers may have been scattered through tho diferent burcaus of -the Interlor Department for special examination. It has frequently been charged that, in baving resort to thiers tomporary outaide bulldings, the pre- clous records of the Guvernment were constant- ly iu danger of fire; but it scems tho Pension Oflico has suffered less in this fn- stanco than it would Lave done kad it remained in the fire-proof Patent Office itsclf. It proba- by s a fact that not one of the Government buildings here would bo called fire-proof in nny commerctal city, This should be s hint to lo;- islators at the coming session of Congress. The buliding which only just cscaped tom- plete destruction to-day contained fnnumerablo UECONDS OF VAST VALUE— the titles of every acro of Jand ever sold by the Governuent of tho United States, The Bureau of Education escapps with a loss only by water. Tho appropriation of tho last Congress made it nccessary to remove the ecords of this Burcau from the outside boild- %, which they had occupled for years, to the basement of tho cast wing of the Patent Uflice, There undoubtedly has been considerable ine- Jury done by water to tho records thus stored, but tho fire DID NOT TOUCH THEM, ‘Those Democrats, fnctuding the eminent candl- date for the Spcakership, Mr. Cox, who favored th sbolition of the Burcau altoguther, will probably bo ‘sstonished to tearn tbat they in- curred the dapger of total destruction. The excecdingly valusble works relating to the of tho Terrltorics under the charge ) Powell .wera mostly lodged in the sub-bascment o tho eastern wing. Theae fncluded costly maps, charts, and scientific fcld-notes, which have required many years of labor aud 20 nuch money ta accumulate. Theso preclous” douments have undoubtedly been \ulte scriously injurcd by water, but the loss may vot be frreparablo, THE LOSBES, A Patent-Ofics ofticial given the followlng do- tails respectivg the losses in that Bureau: Tho fire was confined principally to the model- room, which extendod around theentire building In the third story, There were four cogridors filled with models of alinost syery mechanical device known to American fogenulty, The cor- tldors opeued inta each other, and made s por- fect museum of mechanics, In tho cases-room were stored over 100,000 models, each of which represcated soma patented American Invention. Tweuty thousand rejected modols werp storod Ina loft dlrecllfl over the weal wiug, a pumber of which were chemical oty unds, Beveral of them bad louscs or sun-glseacs. in them.

A portion of Mchemet Ali's army, compnising ton battalions, attacked n strong. ly intrenched Russinn position on o ridge commanding the main road to Bieln, abont fiftcen miles southeast of that town. This ridge runs routhward at right angles to the Valley of the Barrickn Lom. On the loft of the ridgo, inthe valley, lies the villoge called Verbosa.
