Colonel Casey, in charge of this work, bas Submitted to the Secretary of Wara report of operations pertaining to the construction of th building for the State, War and Navy depart- ments for the fiscal year ended June 20th, 1530. During the year operations were confiued to th: east and north wings. At the close of the las’, fiscal year the east wing had been nearly ¢ pleted and was occupied by the War acd Navy departments, While the work of preparing the foundation for the worth wiag had fairly com- menced. BAST WING OR NEW NAVY DEPARTMENT. During July, 1579, substantial asphaltum pavement, with hydraulic cement base, was jaid in the court-yard 1p the rear of this wing There then remained only the interior flatsu and decoration of the library, so-called, to be accoraplished before this wing could be sald to be fully completed. Work was steadily pushed. but owlng to delays by the contractors for U Inents for the corner panels the library was no: finally completed unul Saturday, April 34. the 1th of that month it was turned over to the Secretary of the Navy. Jt was during the con- suruction of this wing thatthe charge of the Work was transferred to the War department— March 3, 1875, At that date there had b: pended upon the east wing the sumof ¢ 326.28. Since that date to complete the wi amount expended 18 $1,745.961.1 the total cost of the wing $2. lotal cost of the south wing was 3; 39.35. ‘These figures are exclusive of the cost of furat- ture, which js not provided by Colonel Casey's but they tnclude the cost of all pe for T service, heatin.s < ors and ‘exterty sidewalks and approaches complete, NORTH WING—PART OF NEW WAR DEPARTMENT. The deep excavation necessary for the found ation of tbls part of the ballding, which was ta progress at the close of the last fiscal year, had been so far completed by the mlddic ot Ju that the conerete toundation for the court cou! vaults was commenced. From tat thin the construction of the vaults, grading, pavisy and laying concrete foundauions weat on rap- idly and without interruption until complete. At the conclusion of the season, December 191 isi, the sub-basement aud ‘masonry to Ure height of the first story floor had been con- pleted. Most of that floor had also been cain- pleted. April 1st last,stone setting was resumed, and the regular season’s work was commenced. During the first week of May most of the stone cornice of the first story and the floor beams of the second story were put if place. No new appropriation having been made, a3 it was hoped there would be at an early date, about three-fifths of the working force Were necessarily discharged by the 20th of May. From that time the work proceeded very slowly, and it was nearly suspended by the close Of the Tiscal year, At that Ume a small part 0c the stonework of the second story remained to be butit. June 16th Congress ‘appropriated $150,000 for the continuance of operations on this wing. Orders for the granite of the third story frout and the third and fourth Stories of the court yard were signed two dys afterward, and the preparation of orders for the remainder of thé granite, and advertising for proposals for all the cast iron columns and [mopeds wrought iron floor, beams and girders, ricks, cement, sand and small castiogs for masonry required to complete the stone and brick masonry of this wing were immediately taken in hand with the expectation that all the contracts would be signed in three weeks. After due advertising there was sold at auc- tion on December 10, 1879, a quantity of refuse material and a large number of tools and im- ements for cutting stone, ‘These tools had h used at the stone cutting yards at Vinal- haven, Me., where they had been suppifed by the United States under the provisions of the £0 called 15 per cent contract, and were of no further use, PROBABLE OPERATIONS DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 380-51, WN 88 Itis intended to build nine short partition Walls in the second story immediately.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHIEF. Colonel O. H. Irish, chief of the bureau of en | graving and printing, has submitted his anaual | Teport to the Secretary of the Treasury. There were completed and delivered during the year | 7,148,241 sheets of notes and securittes of the | face value of $789,240,050; 15,525,306 sheets of in- ternal revenue and customs stamps, containing 330 $22,266 stamps, and 765,251 sheets of checks, | dratts, &c., for te treasurer of the Uaited | States and disburstag officers of the severat de i ¢ inise-l- partments, besides a large amount janeous Work. The aggregate expenditure; for the year were $383,171.95. “A very large poritoa of this amount was incurred ip executing work for the several bureausor the Treasury and other departments, to be reimbursed by then from the proper appropriations under their control. The amount so incurred was $509,386 53. Of this amount $19,029.04 was on account of ex penses for receiving and inspecting the disiiac- live paper for national bank notes, iat net ex- penditures chargeable to the regular app-o- lations for the bureaii were: Salaries, $25 $63.52; labor and expenses, $317,941.93; LoLal, $373.85 4 ‘The amount of work actually delivered is nearly six per cent greater than the amount estimated for. In addition, the siock of material aud un- finished work on hand has been maintained, and the machinery of the bureau was tho oughly overhauled preparatory to its removal to the new building. Had it not been for the delays incident to the removal of the effects of so large an establishment. the amount of work Gelivered would have been larger, and the pec- centage of increase over the estimates greater. ‘The removal of the several branches of the bu- Teau Was commenced in March. The first branch was established In the new building 5th March. The others were removed 01 ta time. In anticlpation of the removal, the foree em: ployed in the regular processes Connected with the work of engraving and printing was diviaed as Learly as possibie iato two equal groups, and on June 1, is80, one of groups was’ fur. Joughed for a period of three weeks, leaving but about one-half of the foree at work. The machinery vacated by the half of the force on furlough was then, as raptdly as possible, re- moved and placed in working order In thenew bullding. On dune i4, work was enurely sus pended on the regular processes, and the sesur- ities, stamps, &c., were turned over Co the com- mittee appointed for that purpose, to b> counted. ‘The committee completed its labors early in the afternoon of Juue 17, and the re- moval of the impressions was at’ once com. menced. As soon as this was accomplished, the fects of the offices were removed to tue new building; and on Monday, June, 21, work with the group first. furlougned was com: menced therein, The work of removing that part of the machinery, &c., used by the group d, and substantially fast at work, was continue completed by the close of the fiscal year; and on Tuesday following the holiday incident to the celebration of the Fourth of July, the entire force resumed work, and the bureau was 5 cessfully established in its new quarters. Of the $50,000 appropriated for this work, there has been expended the sum of $45, there fs still due the contractors for the’ con- struction of the engine and boilers the sum of $3,698, belpg the third and last payment for the work, which will not be payable by term of contract until ninety days after the prelim. inary trial of the machluery, The number or regular ¢mployés on the last day of each month during the fiscal year was as follows: July, 853: August, $96; September, 96; October, 897: No vember, 909; December, is30, January, 91 February, 908 , 917; April, 921; May, 92: June, 903.

Sprague’s ‘Troubles. AN EFFORT TO BE MADE TO-DAY TO SECURE CA NONCHET—THAT FAMOUS SHOT GUN. A telegram trom Providence, R.1.,0.t.25, says It is now expected tha tr, Toompson Wii inake a demand upon e€x-Goy. Sprazue for the porsession of Canonchet to-morrow morning. Mr. Thompson is the lawyer whom the trastce of the Sprague estate appointed as custodian of Canoncuet. He ts also the Meman to whom Mr. Austin Corbin of New York gave a pose of attorney, by virtue of whica a demand made tor Mrs, Sprague’s personal effects w hich left at Canonchct at Cae time of her hurried nt therefrom. Out of this demand that Mr. empson Will make for possession of Canoui- ‘| to-mecrrow, arises appreheaston of trouble. Gov. Sprague is at Canonchet. He claims to be Its Jegal custodian, He Insists that tnts present move is a conspiracy to crush Dim, and e reiuses to be crushed. He has not barri eaded the doors and windows of Canonchet, bi’ refuses 10 adinit any but his tried friends, and Says that he shall not yield up the propercy. He Says that he is perfectly wililag to give up to Mss. Sprague her clothing, but ne wilt not su 9- init to have his personal 1urniture taken eway. So much came from Gov. Sprague, not directly, but by one of his intimate friends. Dr. Greene, of Providence. Dr. Greene and others think that, Mr, Thompson would have secured possession of Canonchet last week but for the publication of the correspondence that passed between Messrs. Corbin, Chaffee, and Thompson. Was this publication that caused Gov. Spragu to drive as fast as a span of rapid horses cou! carry him across country, and to reach Canoa- chet before Mr. Thompson had time to act. Since then Goy. Spregue has been in poaceadie possession of the place, and there has been sur- prise that Mr. Thompson did not act bafore, bur to-day Gov.Sprague’s friends claim to have heard the reason for the delay. ‘They assert that Mr ‘Thompson feared that the consequence of any attempt to receive the property might be costly—ot physically, however, thoagi Gov. Sprague did send by way of joke to a newspa- per filend here the caliber of the gun that h= ad on hand to defend himseit’ with. Mr. ‘Thompson wished to be sure Gov. fiends say, that he might not be imate! 0 damages ter what it was desired hin to do. The governor's trends claim: to have received iufonnation that Mr. Thompson notified M Corbin that he must be amply protected befor: he took any steps. ‘he governor and his friends belicve that Mr. Corbiu hasgtven a bond or has deposited securities to indemnity Mr. ‘Thompson, and they assert that Mr. Corbin ar- rived in town this afternoon. If he did he his Lot gone lo any Of the hotela, nor dia he go to Canonchet with Mr. Thompson this evening.
