The Secretary of War to-day transmitted to the Senate a copy of a letter of the 19th instant from Col. John M. Wilson, the officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, to- re- | gether with a copy of the report of the her. | draughtsman of his office, in regard to certain building lots in this city which are shown by the old records to belong to the United States. TheSecretary commends the consideration of this important ter to the early con- sideration of Congress. Col, Wilson in his letter states that among the duties appertaining to his office is that of the care of the old records of the city of Washington, which show the action of the original commissioners under whose direction the city was laid out, and the sales of the United States lots since October 17, 1791. These records, Col. Wilson says, have | been the subject of much labor on the part of Mr. John Stewart, the oftice draughtsman, in | order that the papers might be so arrauged that | they could be easy of access to those who de- sired to examine them. THE QUESTIONABLE LAND. “Such examinations as my duties: would ad- mit,” says Col. Wilson, “have led me to the con- clusion that there was a large amount of land within the city limits held by private partics which legally belonged to the general govern- mentand for which no deeds of transfer of title have ever been executed py the United States. * * time and study in this matter. and his report. that he believes there are twenty entire squares and 2,001 other lots within the city limits now claimed by other parties, to which, as far as can be shown by our records, the United States still has a legal title. * * * IT hesitate to cloud the title to property of any man who may hold it under the impression that his title is perfectly clear; and I shall, therefore, not cially indicate, until the matter is more critically examined, the squares and lots which, from the incomplete records on file of former commissioners of public build- it would appear that the United States holds a clear title.” Col. Wilson closes his letter with a request ‘ ’ * Mr. Stewart has spent much | acopy of which is submitted herewith, shows | THE PRESIDENT-ELECT.

BEFORE THE ARRIVAL. On the streets and about the inaugural com- mittee rooms it was all rush and expectation. ‘The public interest was centered upon the ex- pected arrival of Gen. and Mrs. Harrison, and all day long a great many people were walking in a restless sort of way about the nue and hotel lobbies, waiting for it to be time to get down to the depot to see the arrival. Toward 1 o'clock the appearance IN THE SIXTH STREET DEPOT was that a great many of Washington's citizens were going traveling. The waiting-rooms were pretty well filled with people, some of whom had taken the precaution to bring their hand- bags with them to secure admission, but there was no attempt to keep any one out of the building, and before 2 o'clock it was pretty well crowded. The general tendency of the promenaders on the Avenue was toward the station, though there was no large congrega- tion in that vicinity. The badge men and the boys selling pictures of Harrison and Morton, or the still more attractive photos of Gen. and Mrs. Harrison on one card, were on hand and doing a brisk business, THE CROWD IX WAITING. At 2:30 as many people were in the depot and on the platform as could be crowded to- gether and considerable of a crowd occupied the streets for about a block each direction from the depot. Down 6th street the crowd was scattered along the track as far as the old armory building. No carriagse and no committee were in sight at this time, and the suspicion became general that the party had arranged to get off the train on Vir- ginia avenue, to avoid the crowd at the depot. When the New York train came in with an immense load of passengers, shortly after 2 o'clock, the crowd in the depot surged forward only to be disappointed. Lieutents Amiss and Kelly, with the squad of reserve police, were waiting in the depot shed, and about the entire corps of correspondents and several local men were on board. ‘he correspondents were especially apprehensive lest they were standing in the cold to no good purpose. DISAPPOINTED, At 2:40 neither the train nor the reception committee had arrived, and a few moments later it was announced that the train had gone down to Maryland avenue and the party had got off there and taken carriages awaiting there and driven at once to the Arlington, ‘The special squad of police was, then drawn off from the lepot, and the crowd slowly dispersed; deeply grieved ud disappointed at not getting a peep at the President-elect, The people were more disappointed than the station sometime after Gen. Harrison and his party had reached the hotel. The people along the curb on the Avenue waiting to see the carriages go by were slow to hear of the trick that had been played upon them, and they stood about for some time. But there were not much over a thousand people assembled all told. There was no great fst or crowd at any time and the disappointment was born patiently. AT THE ARIANGTON HOTEL, There were two or three hundred people waiting in the vicinity of the Arlington hotel this afterngon in expectation of President Harrison's arrival. Vermont avenue, opposite the hotel, was lined with people, and little knots of waiters were to be seen on every hand, Wate! were frequently consulted, and questions flew promiscuously in endeavors to learn the exact location of the presidential rooms, the door he should enter, who should escort him. The hotel windows were filled with those fortunate enough to se- cure seats. Atabout 2:15 the police, several of whom were in attendance under Lieut. Guy, began to make demonstrations and cleared a passage- way in front of the Johnson annex, where the presidential rooms are located. ‘This caused the formation of a crowd of two or three hundred people. ‘The amateur photographer was there with his = At ten minutes before 3 the crowd erie HERE THEY ARE! and there was a movement to the front, which the police promptly checked. ‘The first carriage stopped and the door was instantly opened by an olicer. Chairman Brit: ton emerged first, followed by Mrs, Harrison. Mr. Britton then handed out Baby McKee, whose appearance caused another murmur of greeting. General Harrison next stepped out, and for a moment the crowd hesitated, then A CHEER WENT UP. their handkerchiefs, The general waited a moment the stone step and then smiled and took off - his hat and bowed on both sides tothe crowd.

In presenting the report on the sundry civil bill Mr. Randall stated that there were three or four main items of controversy. One relates to the question of the use of steam-presses in the bureau of engraving and printing, another relates to the library building, the question being whether the law of last year should be changed so thet this structure shall havo a limit of $6,000,000 instead of $4,000,000.

CAPITOL TOPICS. ‘TO ADMIT NEW MEXICO. Delegate Joseph, of New Mexico, has intro- duced a bill providing for the admission of New Mexico as a state of the Uuion. It provides that the present territory may become a state, under the provisions in the omnibus bill approved on the 22d instant, so far as they are applicable to the territory of New Mexico. THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON TERBITORES, at its meeting to-day, directed a favorable re- port to be made on the House bill to authorize the counties of Arizona to issue bonds in liqui- dation of the indebtedness already contracted. Delegates Carey, of Wyoming, and Dubois, of Idaho, were present to address the committee in favor of the passage of enabling acts for the admission of the territories represented by them into the Union, but owing to the early meeting of the Senate the delegates were able only to begin their arguments before the com- mittee adjourned.

The Seventh will start for home at 3 o'clock Tues- day afternoon. A REVOCATION OF THE REFUSAL. The statement in yesterday's Stan that Mr. H. A, Willard, the chairman of the committee on parks and reservations, had addressed a letter o the District Commissioners stating that the revocation of the permit recently grant d by them to certain parties to erect stands in froutof the botanical gardens met with hearty approval,” was incorrect to the ex- tent that instead of a revocation of a permit, it shou.d have read a revocation of the refusal, the Commissioners having arbitrarily for a time refused to grant permission to erect a stand at that point, as has been done on previ- ous inaugurations, and this in the face of the express approval of the chairman of the joint committee on the library having sole char, of the grounds, The original action of on it last ht until 2 o'clock this morning.

EF THE AQUEDUCT TUNNEL. The Report of the Congressional Com- mittee of Investigation. The select committee on the Washington aqueduct have completed their report on the condition of the tunnel, and the same was pre- sented to the Senate to-day by Mr. Edmunds. After going at considerable length mto the authority for the construction of the tunneland the law in the case, the committee says: “It from the report of the e: and from the testimony taken to be beyond all question that substantially the whole and every part of the lining of the tunnel is ABSOLUTELY AND ENORMOUSLY DEFECTIVE, and that it is scarcely too much to say that there is hardly any continuous length of 10 feet in the whole lining where the back- ing, particularly over the arch of the ling, is not either absolutely wanting, or only perey filled in; or, when fully filled in, so adly constructed as to make the whole back- ing of THE LINING ENTIRELY WORTHLESS, Some profile drawings, made from actual ex- aminations through the course of the tunnel, are returned as part of the report of the expert engineers, which show how utterly bad the whoie lining is. These profile drawings do not cover the whole length of the tunnel, but measurements have been made and cross-sections have been sketched by experts, from which similar draw- ings could be produced covering the whole length of the lining. THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTORS. “It appears from the testimony taken that during the progress of the lining work under the last contract, if not earlier, several of the Government inspectors, whose names appear in the testimony and whose duty it was to watch the operations of the workmen and see that the work was done accordid to the contract; under color of working over- time, &c., received, under false names, various sums of money from the contractors, the time-keeper of the contractors euter- ing in his time-book these fictitious names intended to represent the particular in- spectors, and from which time - book the ms were computed, put in envel addressed to the fictitious names, some one of the subcontractors, or handed over directly to the inspector, as the case might happen tobe. * * * MAJOR LYDECKER AND LIEUT, TOWNSEND. The committee has no just grounds to be- lieve from the evidence that either Major Lydecker or Lieut, Townsend was guilty of any corrupt practices in regard to the matter, or had any personal kuowledge that the sub-inspectors were receiving money in the manner stated; but the fact remains 1. that, with all this responsibility and duty of vigilant superintendence and watchfulness cn their part, and on the part of the goxernment, chief inspecior and others, and ths contracting duty of the contractors, tuousands of feet of the hming, occupying uearly six months in its construction, was systematically put in in a manner FRAUDULENT AS TO THE GOVERNMENT, g full and adequate price for ‘and absolutely worthicss, in tue condition in which it was left, for the purposes of a lining of the tunnel carrying water under the great pressure that this uning must cndure, CONCLUSIONS OF THE COMMITTEE. In view of the evidence, the committee feels compelled to say that the officers in charge of the work, as well as the chief inspector, must have been guilty of great negligence in the discharge of their duties, for it seems impossible to conceive that im any work of thts great importance, requiring, after repeated examinations and considerations of the subject, the most perfect constraction and the most perfect fulfilment of the contract for a complete and solid back- ing to the lining, this systematic sham-work could have gone on for months of time and for thousands of feet in length of tunnel wi @ut being discovered gineers connected with the work or any one of the inspectors had done his duty. WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH IT? The question of “What shall be done with the tunnel?” is answered as follows: We think, therefore, that the fact that so great an amount of money has already been expended upon the tun- nel does not furnish an uate reason for spending a still further very large amount, subject to all the known and unknown contingencies that may occur in respect of it; and the committee thinks this is particu- larly true when a supply can be obtained and maintained under known conditions, and with no uncertain elements, for a sum not much exceeding what will doubtless be re- quired to put the tunnel in the condition de- scribed. ‘The question is really one whether Congress shall now expend substantially the same amount of mouey for the work, which, when completed wiil be open to all the doubts and dithculties, as well as expense | in the future, already referred to in regard to the tunnel, or whether it will ex- pend itfor a similar supply of water in a way that leave nothing open to uncertainty.” ¥ They report against spending any more money in respect of the taunel under existing circumstances und that for the present, at least, it should be left in the condition in which it is, The committee has decided, as a means of relief, in favor of a 48-inch surface conduit, the cost of which is estimated by Gen. Casey at $575,000, including all the connections, This will, the committee thinks, supply the city’s wants for the next ten or fifteen years, The report concludes with an amendment which the committee intend to offer to the de- | ficiency bill appropriating $1,000 for a survey | of the line for a substantially surface gravity conduit from the present distributing reservoir to the new reservoir in the city, the eurvey to be made under the direction of the chief of engineers, iicigeeedlanipeetess The President-Elect’s Train.
