SAWS BUILDINGS. Senators Think There Should be Sev- eral Additions to the Number. THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS INSTRUCTED To REPORT ON THE MAT- TER—MR. MORRILL CAREFULLY REVIEWS THE NECESSITIES OF TRE SITUATION—SEVERAL NEW BUILDINGS RECOMMENDED, There was no small amount of interesting argument in the Senate yesterday afternoon in behalf of new buildings and increased facilities for the conduct of governmental business in this city. Senator Spooner’s resolution, offered heretofore, instructing the committee on pub- lic buildings and grounds to consider the sub- ject of affording to the executive mansion, by alterations, additions or otherwise, office room and other accommodation was taken up, and in the debate that followed, which was briefly outlined ia Taz Star, there was no where the slightest opposition to the vast improvements suggested by several Senators, An amendment was offered by Senator Har- ris instructing the committee to consider also the subject of the construction of such build- ings or of additions to existing department buildings as will give ample —— to the sev- eral executive departments for the comforta- ble and convenient dispatch of business; also a suitable building as a government printing office, and especially a suitable building for the United States Supreme Court, the Supreme Court of the Districtof Columbia and the Court of Claims. The amendment was accepted by Senator Spooner. ‘MR. MORRILL’s SPEECH. Then Senator Morrill went over the ground thoroughly and carefully as follows: “The growth of this country within the last fifty years has largely multiplied the wants as weil as the resources of both the people and the government of the United States. lost of the early structures for the accommodation of the different branches of the government in the District of Columbia have been found, as the years roll to be very inadequate for the transaction of the increased public business, Some of these are now so crowded as to require either extensive additions or new, much larger and more commodious buildings, The United States is paying large rentals for many inferior and inconvenient accommodations. and these leased premises now number forty-six, in forty- six-out-of-the-way places. Beyond ali doubt it would be to the advantage of the government to become the proprietor rather than the lessee of such buildings as its public business really requires. ‘That thia is sound economical policy in relation to public buildings for the states no one ventures to dispute, but the indispensable wante of the national capital appear to com- mand reluctant attention and stinted appropri- ations. The mail matter handled by the city office ts enormous, and if it were handled in any other city of the country would long ere now have had an apfropriation of several mil- lion dollars for a per and decent building. This hasbeen often discussed, but unfortu- nately without any agreement of the respective committees om the part of the House and Senate. THE GENERAL POST OFFICE BUILDING, still more important, was begun over fifty years ago, when the whole number of post offices of our country was only 10,693, and was completed in 1866, when the number had in- creased to 23,828; mow the number is no less than 60,335. The mail routes in 1896 were 180,921, while today they are 416,159, In 1874 the employes were so crowded that the Post- master General asked for a new building, and yet thers are many more today quartered there than ever before, notwithstanding that 338 em- ployes have been removed to other quarters, occupying five rented buildings and of course all more or less remote and scattered. In 1874 the gross revenue of the depurtment was 226,477,072, but in 1888 it had about doubled and was $52,695,176. These facts indicate the rapid growth of the business of the country and show that before possible relief can be afforded the condition of the department will be even far worse than it is now. The present building isa good specimen of the Corinthian order of architecthre, but it is wholly restricted to the grounds upon which it stands, without any other margin than the sur- rounding streets. Almost from the start the present building, however, has practically beon too small and inadequate for the wholesome transaction of its immense amount of business. In 1880, by lowering the grade of the streets around it, the basement story was utilized to some extent, though unsuitable for occupancy by elei but pressure for more and larger rooms is now L shag than ever. This will be appreciated when it is shown that the number of oy postmasters of the United States is now between thirty-five and forty times greater than it was fifty years ago. Clearly this building, whether itis used by the General Post Oftice or the Interior depart- ment, should have an addition that would more than double its present size, or there should be a new site and a new building provided for one or the other without delay. THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT. “The colossal Doric building occupied by the Department of the Interior is one of the most imposing buildings here devoted to govern- ment use, though the simplicity and beauty of the south front was as much impaired by the sinking of F street toa lower grade au that of the north front of the post oflice was improved. The building wes constructed for the exclusive use of the patent office, and the funds for its construction were wholly supplied from its in- come. The interior of the building was spec- ially designed for and adapted to its use and is none tvo lurge for its present and prospective necessities. The patent office should find its permanent home in the structure that has arisen from its funds, and which is not only self-sapporting, but annually puts a surplus of $500,000 in the treasury. It would seem most expedient. therefore, to provide other quarters for the Interior depart- ment. which is one of the most hard-working branches of the government, embracing not only the commissioner of Patents, but the com- missioners of the land office, of pensions, of In- dian affairs, of education and of railroads, as well as the’ director of the geological survey and the superintendent of the census, Either a large and commodious building must be erected tor the Interior department or for the Post Office department. If the square west of the Post Office department should be taken for its enlargement, as the Senate has oiten proposed, the building then would be none Rolree whether to be occupied by the Post Office or by the Interior department. ‘The wants are so pressing and immediate that it will be false economy to postpone the ques- tion even for another year, ROOM NEEDED AT THE CAPITOL. All of the room of the present Capitol is urgently required for legislative uses, Both the Senate aud House of Representatives are subjected t# great inconvenience for lack of room. When the new library shall have been completed there will be a large room upon each side of the it library to be devoted to other service. It is also manifest that Con- gress — res — the rooms at Lapel © Court, Certainly no ooe would ieeat that co-ordinate department of the government as an unprofitable tenant and turn it out of doors to hunt for a cheap and insignificant position in the national capital. It is a great court, the great American court, worthy of its origin, and must be worthily treated. The committee on public buildings and grounds have reported a bill by which to ac- quire the squares on the east side of ithe Cop. extent of Wi as it has og Mechiaeseus bn tect aot later they would be taken by the government. They will cost more today than inst year, and less today than in years hence. ee anne cae and — be de- voted toa Use, present quarters of to Bepresne Court caves Deane commodious than are —— * bag states for our SIN have tne es wal we tis pathane sabiest to peril from land ion. subject some im rate and water now and are worthy Serta ta tts ad peony an Ti exhibit them to the The ide extent of our count ac- tivity and scientific enthusiasm of many of our military, naval and divil offi- other directions, almost without money and without e; but however cheaply obtained they will be regarded as of value and must be properly housed Preserved. THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING BUILDING isa mixture of the old and new, abit added here and there as sudden wants appeared, no part of it fire proof, lacking many of the con- yeniences that an establishment so should have, from which the best class of work is de- manded, and in which so large a number of employes are at work day and night, has long Seen held to be sn tafurior bail ling and per- haps dangerous to the lives of those who oceupy it, Certainly this should not be the last sub- baad to which Congress should give some atten- in. The executive mansion for years has been found inadequate for domestic purposes and for the executive officers that are necessary to be presen’, More extensive accommodations are needed, but whatever may be done the ag extraordinarily fine architectural struc- ure should not be mutilated. A hall of records is greatly needed for the use of all the departments, and a bill has al- ready passed the Senate for this object. The director of the geological survey is urgently asking for a large building for the important work which is done under his learned and very competent direction. For the coast sur- vey we have for many yeurs leased expensive quarters, and we are doing the same for the censna office and for the city government. ‘The interstate commerce commission and the poe of education also lease private build- a THE QUESTION OF SITES. It may be asked, Whore can proper sites be found for all the buildings that may be wanted? One point, it is to be hoped, is forever settled, namely, that no more buildings shall be placed upon any public reservation. It is said to have been a favorite idea of Mr. Donglas, when here as Senator from Illinois, not only to enlar; public reservations of this city, but to take the whole south side of Pennsylvania avenue, from the Capitol to the Treasury department, and use it for the site of such public buildings as might be wanted. This proposal may still be worth considering. The government is paying considerably over $100,000 annually for the rental of inconvenient, awkward, unsafe build- ings,and some of them at very extravagant rates. One other point, whatever buildings may be erected shonld be absolutely fire proof, or a3 near that as possible. The Treasury depart- ment was once destroyed by fire; the patent office has twice been greatly damaged by fire; the congressional library also has suffered severely by fire; the Smithsonian, too, was con- siderably hurt by fire. “Surely, with all the wants indicated and several more that might be mentioned, Con- gress ought not, while dealing liberally with all the states as to public buildings, to wholly neglect the District of Columbia. The committee on public buildings and grounds was then ordered to report by bills or otherwise and the matter dropped, with every Senator in the chamber apparently satisfied that a great necessity existed which should be attended to as soon as possible. THE SILENT COUNT. The Final Scenes of Yesterday’s Engage- ment inthe House. After Tae Stan's report closed yesterday Mr. McKinley made an eloquent appeal to the House to sustain the chair in his ruling. He said he had often done what the democrats were doing; he had often filibustered, but that he remembered no time when he was justified in doing so or when he was not ashamed of his action. Mr. Turner (Ga) made an argument against the Speaker's position and appealed to the con- science of the majority ‘not to indorse a great wrong.” He denied the right of the Speaker to note him as present and not voting, thus declaring thathe was dishonest and unpatriotic. The time had never been in the history of free par- liamentary debate when a Speaker could name any man for censure or rebnke or animadver- sion without the authority of the Honse. Here the Speaker, without rule or authority, or right according tocommon law, named mem- bers as men who had not done their duty. This had never occurred before without the deter- mination of the House. REVOLUTION IN PROGRESS, Mr. Butterworth followed with an earnest defense of the Speaker. He acknowledged the practice and the precedents, but said that it was proposed to correct a legal fallacy. The: wanted to substitute the truth for a falsehoo. youd that injure the gentlemen on the other side? “They say this is revolution,” he said. “If it be revolution I will say to the gentiemen that revolution never goes backward.” THE SPEAKER'S COUNT. At the close of Mr. Butterworth’s speech several democrats wanted to get the floor to speak on the subject, but Mr. McKinley moved to lay the appeal on the table, and after a vote on a motion to adjourn the vote was taken on that question. The republicans carried it by 162 yeas against no nays, Mr. Reed then announced the names of dem- ocrats present and not voting deciaring that there was quorum, after that an adjournment was taken. The democrats complain that on a vote to determine whether or not the Speaker had a right to count silent members the Speaker made such a count, applying to the vote a priucip! the vote was to determine the propricty of. Upon this ground they claim that the ruling has not been properly sustained. —_—_—_0-__ Betrer Tnax Gotp—Oxe Huxprep Lors Neak Denver, Cororano, Fai Desiring to advertise our new addition extensively we have concluded to give away 100 more choice lots.

In point of fact, i may be truthfully said that it is without an equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on exch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published im Tus Sram on the 18th of January, 1840, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these; That— 1, The Star has three times the circu- Jation of any ether Paper in Wachinge tont 2. The Star's circulation in Washing tou is double that of all the other dally Papers published in the city ad@ed toe gether!! 3. The Star has a larger an@ fuller Paper im the werld!!! 4, The Siar bas the largest regular and permancat home circulation of amy two-cent afternoon paper im the United States 1111 In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papery attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION IN 1SS5-86-87-88-88, 1SS3.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- seribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, and by newsboys. But ef this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per- | manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula- 9, | tion may be literally said to be in the family | circle. While its aggregate circulation there- | fore gives THe Stan a distinctive and enviable | position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pure chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. ‘This is no idle boast on the part of the paper, It is a well established fact, demonstrated ta the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seck and kuow where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR APVERTISING. This is proven by the | growth of Tux Sran's advertising patronage, Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than @ constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad-~ verse claims and pretentious competition, The figures following tell the story on this poimt: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMENTS PRINTED It 1885-86-87 85-80, ISS6. 1587. 1SS&, 185, 3,200 3,615 4,076 4,558 3,064 3,847 3,924 4,500 3.806 4,669 4,603 5,404 4,197 5,385 5,171 6,633 3,235 3,3Sl 3015 4,483 2,582 3,170 3,508 4,604 4,208 4,517 4,904 5,50 4,579 5,313 5,412 6,500 4,258 5,035 4,699 6,107 TOTAL 41,499 45,910 34,038 54,901 63,593 But it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the Year 1889 as compared with that eccupied m in the way of tax sales, poll lista, election retarna, etc, such as cecasionally swell the business of potitieal organs, being included im fs patrom- age. ’ In conclasion, it is only necessary to say that, in proportion to the extent and high character of its circulation, Tax Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest im the country, ‘and to add, finally, that every statement herein made can be abundantly verified.
