Architect Clark Gives an Aesoupt Past Year's Improvements. Mr. Edward Clark, the architect of the Capi- tol, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior, states that the north front and portions of the eastern and southern fronts of the Capi- tol have been cleaned and the work is still in progress, this being the first thorough clean- ing of the exterior marble work since the con- struetion of the building. The building has been put in thorough repair and the ventilation ot the Senate chamber improved. The neces- sity for the increase in the capacity of the steam boilers before the electric light can be substi- tuted In part for gas is mentioned. Mr. Clark states that owing to the electric lights ‘at the head of the stairways to. the terrace attracting inseets which dixfizure the building, he ts con- vineed that no very bright light should be used in the gronnds near the building, particularly during the summer sensor He states that the mode of lighting theSe cloak rooms, lobbies, and stairways by the Edl- son company satistaction, and he recommends th aundescent electri¢ light- restaurants, cloak rooms, uf both wings and in here artificlal light is ‘other rooms eded during the day. ne north terrace to the western I building will he completed during t seasi e of the present ‘and fair progress is being made in the terraces, Considerable difficulty has been met with to secure firm foundations for the western portion of thls work, as the ground has been filled from 13 to 25 feet. Wells have been sunk at suitable Intervals to the original soil, and these are filled with conerete and masonry as piers for massive arehes, which span them. REPORT OF THE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT. Mr. Oimsted, the landscape architect, in his report, which Is incorporated in Mr. Clark’s re- port, states that during the year the most im- portant work in carrying out the design for im- provements exterior tothe main walls ot the Capitol has been that of the south approach and a section of the north wall and areh of the ter ce. Before Congress meets again a section of ited chamber beneath the roof of the terrace are expected tobe in use. These will be sult- able only for storage and document rooms. The construction of the western section will provide @ number of well-lighted rooms for committee rooms. Progress has been made upon the plit- form designed to serve as the buse of the in- d staircase of the west front of the Cap- itol. OTHER’ WORK UNDER ARCHITECT CLARK'S ‘CHARGE. In regard to the court-house in this District Mr. Clark's report states that a dormitory and water closet have been placed in the upper story for the convenience of juries; granite steps have been erected at the main entrance: tron window guards placed in the lower story for the security of records, and the whole building kept in good repair. An tron frame green house, 72x17 feet, has n erected adjoining atid at ‘the south of the superintendent's lodge in the botanic garden. 1,150 square yards of asphaltic concrete walks ave been laid on the Pennsylvania avenue side of the grounds, The amount expended on the Capitol exten- sion was $43,000; on the Senate ventilation, $6,000; on the Capitol grounds, $52,000; on the Capitol terraces, $56,000; lighting the building aud foun $25,000; enlarging court house District ot Columbia, $1,500. ages An Important Railroad Decision. The Secretary of the Interior has rendered a @ecision in the case appealed to him from the decision of the commissioner of the general land office by the Southern Pacific railroad company. The commissioner had issued an order throwing open certain lands along the line of the Southern Pacific railroad in Calitor- nia, which be claimed belonged to the grant of | cian the Texas Pacific and had been forfeited by that road to the government. The Southern sifie Jaid claim to the land because {t came within its grant, but the Secretary has sustained the comin! *, on the ground that the land was granted to the Texas Pacific, and that the grant Of the Southern Pacific was exclusive of grants toany other road. As this land had been for- felted ty the Texas Pacitie, and was not subject wthe Ang made to any other road, it te- verted to the government, and was therefore properly di open to settlement. ——— es —____ ‘The Weather Bureau as = Witness. ‘The signal service was put to a new use yes- terday in Boston in the sensational divoree case of Tuber va.

Annual Report of the Board of Trustees THE REF INCREASED ACCOMMODATIONS ASKED FOR, The report of the Board of Trustees of the re- form school of the District of Columbia for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1885, has been submitted to the District Commissioners. Thi reportsays: “There have been no changes of its affairs during the year. Each departinent has been efficiently conducted. The discipline has been excellent, the general health above the average, and the board of trustees believe that 1 legislation the school will be prepared to render the most effective service that may be required by the incrsased demands of the future. For the next fiscal ress has made a slight change in the control of the revenues, other than those from the regular ap- propriations, by requiring that they be covered into the Treasury of the United States for the benefit jointly of the United States and the Dis- trietof Columbia, For the present fiscal year they amount to $4,835.49, including the receipts from the farm and workshop, which amounted 10.$4,268.74." The receipts of the school trom all sources during the year, as will appear by the report of the treasurer, ‘were as follows: From appro- priation for salaries, $10,916; appropriation tor subsistence, $22,000; appropriation for new bell and painting, 31 Department of Jus- tice, support of United S evinmitted by States courts outside ict of Columbia, $566.75; superintendent's sale of farm products and proceeds of workshops, $4,263.74. Total, $39,101.49, ‘The disbursements were as follows: For sala- ries and wages, $12,211.80; for subsistence, In- luding groceries, ‘flour, meats, dry goods, feather, as, coal, table and kitchen warey farm finplements and harnesyand-repairs, fer tlizers, stationery and books, medicines and medical attention, $20,032.65; for repairs, in- cluding paving, &¢., $6.655; new bell and erec- tion, $150, Total, $39,100.80. Leaving bal- ance of $1.19. ‘he trustees have again most earnestly ree- ommended to the Attorney General an increase in the accommodations for the school, ‘These a ricted that the board for some time past bus at different periods of the year been compelled to notify the Criminal and Po- lice Court of the District, that they could not, for want of room, reccive comunittals, thn: compelling the courts to send Juvenile offend. ers to the District jail, while the president of the board, under the ‘authority given him by law, has likewise been unable t make com- mitments for boys who were incorrigible, or who were in danger of leading a vagrant ilfe. The additional room fs also needed In order that the school may be properly graded and classified, so that the smaller boys may nct be contaminated by association Wit er and morehardened. For this purpose mily buiiding should be erected, been appealed to for four years to make this needed appropriation, The board of trustees beg that you will urge favorable action upon the coming Congress, The school is exclusive! tution, under the direc who appointsits trustees,a Justice. ‘The loeal governi of Columbia hi pntrol over its buildings und grounds, though represented on the board by one of its commissioners as a trustee, m the management and malutenance of the school.” THE ESPDLATES for contemplated improvements, including the erection of new buildings, for the fiscal year ending June 30,1887, are as follows: For one chapel building of brick and stone, $7,500; for ‘one brick tank house, iron 7 84,~ 500; for grading and improving school grounds, $1,500. “In some of the schools under state and municipal control authority has been given to the board of trustees, In their discretion, to give a leave of absence to the boys instead of an absolute discharge, requiring them to report at stated times. In case of failure to do so, they are looked after by the authorities of the school. This, ay the kuperintendent in his re- port, a copy’ of which fs submitted herewith, says, gives them leave of absence during good vel It has worked well elsewhere, and rience has demonsirated the need of it ‘The board therefore has asked, through the Attorney General, the required legislation from Congress. Ax the Deparpment of Justice last year reqtiested that minory sentenced by the federal courts outside the District ot Co- & government insti- ‘of the President, the Departmentot entor the District ment tothe act of Congress inc rating the school is necessary, for now commnittals can be made onJy by the’ courts in the District or by the resident of the board of trustees, The boa as renewed its recommendation tor the amendatory legislation. The board has already submitted to you the ‘estimates of appropria- tions necessary for maintenance for the com- ing fiscal year, as follow: ‘Gue superintendent, $1,500; assistant super- intendent. $900; teachers and assistant teach- ers, $3,000; one matron of school, $600; two matrons of families, $360; one superintendent of chuir shop, $660; on farmer, $480; one en- gincer, $396; one shoemaker, one baker, one tullor, one couk and one florist, each $300, $1,500; for one seamstress, one chambermald, one laundress and the dining-room servant each 8144, $720; for watchmen, not to excee fourin number, $960; for one secretary and treasurer of the school, $600; in all $11,676.

DEMOCRATS HOPEFUL OF LEE'S ELECTION BUT DUBIOUS AS TO THE LEGISLATURE. The elections monopolize attention in Wash- ington to-day, New York and Virginia natu ally coming in for the largest share of interest and discussion. With rogard to Virginia a gen- eral feeling of confidence in the election of Gen. Lee prevailed in democratic circles and a man!- fest apprehension of loss of the legislature. It is admitted by persons who have taken part In the democratic canvass in Virginia that Gen. Mahone has a most complete and efficient po- litical organization in those certain counties which he selected for his battleground.
