perplexing itself in Washington with an at
tempt to decide in whdt part of the city the
new State Department shall be erected.

new Offices will be needed il any part OF

Government buildings when the very Capt..
tol is lettering on its foundation stones, and
threatening to run away to New York or ST.,
