C,, Bept. 25,<A general ex- amination of affairs at the Interfor Department to-day confirms tha general bellel of last night that no valuable records have been lost or de- stroyed, though many have been disfigured snd damaged by water, The detention to business will be much greater than was supposed, arising from the soaking of water through all the heavy floors and archies. The floor of the great mu- seum rests on heavy and very thick brick arches, and the flligg be- tween these arches s brick. This Immense mass of masonry scems tohave soaked up many tons of water, and during the night it had perineated cvery portion of ity and thia morning many rooms which. were dry soveral hdurs after the fire were flooded. Aside from the damage which this is doing In Joosening plastering, it 1s found that the wallsand cellings are so thoroughly saturated that It will not be safe. for clerks to work o those rooms for many weeks to come. This and the work of repairs together will neces- sltate tho practical abandonment of all the rooms on tho west and uorth fronts of the bullding. "These are now . chiefly occupled by the Land and Patent Offices. - The present plan is to inove the Indian Office to another bullding, and give the cast front. which Is dry. to the Land-Office, sinco its records arc of more Im- portance to the Government, and it 18 there- fore ‘desirablc to keep them fn the fre-proof part of the bullding. As one ltem of its records there are 63,000 large fallo volumes containlog titles of atl lands sold or ceded since thie Government wos established. The cost of restoring the bulldiog is varfously cstimated, but examinations have not yet been thorough enough to finlsh the cstimates. The marble of the cxterior walls shows little dam- age, and It s still beileved that no gencral dis- turbance will be necessary. The brick backing to thess walls la two feet In thickness, and the firo burned so rapidly and the material which fed it was so quickly consumed that tho walls did not becomo badly heated. Some of the groined arches which supported the muscum fioors on tho west elde are considerably cracked, and some of them are some- what sprung. and some of tho architects think it probable that on this front all but the extcrior walls will have to como out down to the main floor. The first step will bo to put on a tempomry roof, and proposals will be opened for this the midile of next week. An examnination of the polnt wuers thoe fire was stopped over ‘the south part, or main audience hall of the muscum, causcs universal wonder that the flre was checked at all. The draught caused by the directlon of the wind sccrus to be all thal epabled . the fircinen to beat back the flames from the light plug shelves, Er““ of papers, and great net. work of Plnu aces and ruftors which were hers fully exposed to the flames. Ilad these become well ignited, It would havo seat the lire luto the model cases of the south front, and the great muss of models crowded amone them from other corridors, and total destruction in the interlor of ‘the bullding down to the floor of the muscum would have been inevitable. It fs .a very general remark that, since no valuable records or models that caunot be restored have been destroyed, it is well thattlhe fire took place, since §t wight bave oceurcd hereafter at night or under such dreumstances of storm or wind os to have made. the total destraction of the bullding inevitable. 7 The detalls of thelosses are described fn the following reports: * The offic L Chiet Drnughtsman rtant division in the Oflice, for tho reason thot it cuutains the vital records of that brauch of tho public service. Durlog tho excitement of yesterday all tho valuable records wero ‘removed, including 130,000 files fo rojected and forfelicdcases. Thesc flles wore promiscucusly scattercd throughout the squarcs adjacent to thie Patent Oftico builaing. ccretary Schurz called upun tho Commis- sloucr of Patentas late this aftcrnoon for a report of the condlition of the differcut branches of the Bareau. The chief draughtaman, in his report, says that in his room theru were fallos con- ning 211,213 original drawtnfi:; that at 12 o'dock ~ toaday 407 of these had been returned and in the proper classes to which they belonged, and that all of therest had been ar- ranged In thelr 5mp“ onter fu the hail adfoin- ing tho rooma. Of al! of these valuable follos, not o singlo drawing fs missed. Inallonly twenty origiual drawings were dcntm‘lycd by tho fire. "The latter were in the hands of "Jady trucers in the model-room. The written reconds in thesc cases aro intact. ‘The original druwings of 8cpt. 4, which were in the model-room fot the purposs of having the models bfllflmflllli o them identified, of course weru destroyed, hut fortunately they had been photo-tithographed before belng sent to tho model-rvow, and are thereforo safe. ‘The Fatent-OfMice, howaver, will probably bo compelled at ita own expenso to make new drawlngs. Tho model-room, which is pext in Impartunce to that of tho chief draughtaman, fared nuch worse. ‘The chief "of the model-room reports to-night that, fo the west hall, whero tho firo began, there wero slghty-four cases of models destroyed; in the north hall elghty-cight cases and about one- quarter of the models were deatroyed. It was readily ascertulued Il{\ the chief, as ho had fortunately preserved the record of ‘everything in _each ~case, iucluding tho number and kind of modela fu - cach shell, Ho the entiro number reports 87,000 o8 of models dostroyed.
