He had expected, he said, that the debate on the bill would bring up the whole qperton of the disposition of public lands in laska, and he still thought that question an important one for Congress to look {nto and de- cide.

THE CHAPLAIN GIVES A DEPLORABLE PICT- URE OF THE TIMES, In his prayer this morning the chaplain drew a deplorable picture of the umes, when the miasses of men were drifting farther and farther from the churehes, when educated men were asking “is life worth living?” when men in the market places and other centers of resort were teaching with tongue and pen the doctrines of despair, pessimism, agnosticism and atheism; when lotteries, gambling houses and grog shops wero sapping’ the health and prosperity, of great jes of the people; when scarcely a day passed but brought to light some new evil to enimson the face of the patriot; when leaders in great cities were putting up their votes for sale Ww the highest bidder and bartering the fran- chise of the people; when obscene books and pictures were corrupting the imugination and debauching the character of cuildren and youth; when boys were becoming hoodlums and girls were bought and sold like dumb, driven cattle in the shambles; when people were building churches to vie with club houses in cost, show and luxury, where the poor were never expected to enter; when divine charity took the form ofa machine and Was admin istered by proxy and when our boasted civill: zation was stained with blots as dark as death.

Commissioners Webb and Wheatley Before the House Committee on Pub- Me Buildings. THEY SET FORTH IN STRONG TERMS THE NECES- SITY FOR THE ERECTION OF A BUILDING FOR ‘USE OF THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT—THE QUESTION OF SITE, ETC. Commissioners Webb and Wheatley told the House committee on public buildings and grounds te-day of the bad condition of the building rented for the occupancy of the Dis- trict government offices and of the need of a new District government building. ‘Mr. Webb said that the necessity for a build- ing could be better understood if the committee should visit the buildings now occupied. The necessity is apparent. He said the Commis- stoners left the option in a bill to select a reser- vation as the site for the building asa matter ofeconomy, The bill proposing the municipal building was drawn up according tothe law reg- ulating the ercetion of school and other buildings and the United States was to pay half and the District half, He referred to the advance by Congress for the: sewerage system, saying that | that money bad been paid back with interest, and that there was leit, about $125,000 of Dis- trict funds that would be available at once to pay upon the District’s share of the cost of the municipal buliding; andif they were permitted to sell certain property “that strip ot tand in front of the Center_market, which is estimated to be worth about $10 a foot—the District could pay its share of the cost of the building. The necessity for the building was most urgent; they needed the building and would not in= cumber the committee with any proposition as tosite. THE HALF AND HALF ARRANGEMENT, Mr. Reese askea what the District was in arrears growing out of the present arrangements of half and half. Mr. Webb repHed by stating the amount of the publie debt of the District, the interest on which hud been secured by the government, but which had always been promptly paid by the District, but said that the District was not in arrears under the present system of sharing half and half, more than enough having been raised by the District each year to pay their share. ‘THE PROPOSITION T? COMBINE THE POST OFFICE AND DISTRICT BUILDING. Mr. Wade asked what Mr. Webb thought of the proposition to combine the city post office building and the building for the District gov- ernment uses. ‘Mr.Webb replied that the need for the District butiding was so great that he would not like to see its chances jeopardized by the differences as to the site for the city post office, but that if they couid get the buildingsin combination the District government would be made very com- fortable. He said that the building proposed for District government uses would cost about $300,000 or $350,000, without the site; that the committee could choose between taking a reservation or purchasing w site, but that the People of the city were opposed to the use of reservations for public buildings. OCCUPATION OF RESERVATIONS NOT ADVISABLE, Some members of the committee said that they thonght it best not to occupy reservations, but that the people might drive them to do so by raising the prices of their property as soon as the government suggested its purehase. Mr. Webb called attention to the Market ‘Space reservation, saying that it might be sold it necessary. But the sense of the committee was that this would not be advisable. ‘Something was said by members of the com- mittee about using the reservation between 9th and 7th, about K street, if they were driven from the purchase of a site by the high prices. acess eesti cried heeaeea - sicecneeeaLER erreent tees ae ing visited occul by the District gov- ernment.
