Meeting of the Joint Commission. THE ANNUAL REPORT OF COL. CASEY—THE FILI- ING OP BABCOCK LAKE—THE TERRACE—THE ELE- ‘vaToR, A meeting of the joint commission charged with ‘the construction of the Washington monument held a meeting at the White House this afternoon. ‘There were present President Cleveland, who 1s §-officlo president of the commission; Mr. W. W. Corcoran, Gen. Duane and Col. Casey, of the engi- eer corps; Architect Beil, of the Treasury, and Architect Clark, of the Capitol. Mr. Corcoran presided. The annual report of Col, Cascy, the engineer in charge of the monument, was sub- mitted and approved. It recites that the work of constructing the monument is practically finished, and that all that remains to be done is to improve the terrace work at the base; to take precaution- BIY measures for the security of the foundation; fo Provide means for operating the elevator within he shail, and to arrange for the future eare and Preservation of the monument, THE LAW AS TO FILLING BABCOCK LAKE provided for filling so much as may be considered necessary. The comnilssion, after carefully con- sidering the subject, decided that the entire lake should be fitted. Nothing was done regarding the protection of the monument trom vandaltsin, as the bill which has passed the House and ie now pending in the Senate 13 considered suMicient for such purposes, | It provides for regulations for the rotection of the Washington monument similar ‘those in forve at the Capitol, THE TERRACE. A set of plans for extending the monument ter- race into a large irregular mound were adopted. ‘This work will be done at the same time Babcock lake is filled, as far as practicable with the funds available. ‘The plans a8 adopted provide for ex- tending a mound about 500 feet to the north, west and east and about 400 feet to the south from the present terrace. ‘The moundis to be trregular in Shape, With no regard to symmetry, so that it may appear as much like a natural elevation as possi- ble, on the summit of which the base of the monu- ment will rest. All the connections of the struc- ture with the boiler house, some distance away, ‘Will be underground and out of sight. ‘The plans adopted contemplate simply the fling and grad- ing of the mound. The improvement ot the surface wilt come within the jurisdiction of the commissioner of public bufidings and rounds, with other reservations. “Whether he surface shall be of unbroken green ar whether it shall be dotted with shrubsand trees, 1s a subject for further consideration. ‘The amount of Mung necessary to build the mound and to Mill the lake 1s roughly, estimated at about 350,000 cubic yards, of whieh only a little over 83,000 ‘cubic yards will be needed to fill the lake. ‘The work of filling will be commenced at the base of the monument, ‘The Tecent proposals for performing the work by the yard Were too high, and as soon as ‘cou. ‘cedes the permission to run tramways through the streets for the purpose of transporting the mate- ‘al, proposals will aguin be invited, “sue funds at present avatlable amount to §62,000, but not more than $57,000 can be used for filling. More money will be required as the work progresses. FUTURE CUSTODY OF THE MONUMENT. ‘The commission will, as soon. as Congress meets, submit a report announcing the completion of the monument, and recommending that it be turned ‘aver tothe War department and that its future cus- tody be vested in the engineer department. The re- port Will also recommend that 2 sultable force be located at the ionument permanently in order thatthe public may have the priviege of visiting and ascending the monument. ‘This will include means for ruiulng the elevator, In this connection attention wil also be called tothe necessity for a lodge house, 09 ROBBERY AT ALBAUGH’S. ‘The Safe Blown Open and 9470 in Money and Some Jewelry Stolen, This morning at 9 o'clock, when Mr. Henry Allen, the Ucket agent of Albaugh’s theater, en- tered the private office, he was astonished to find the large iron safe blown up and its contents scat- tered over the floor.
