Proposed Enlargement OF the Cham.
Der of the House Of Representa-.

t1VeSs
CFrom tho Washington StAr.)
Briet mention has been made In the
Star Of the report OF Mr.. Edward CLARK,
architect Of the Capitol, in response to q
resolution introduced into the House at
the close OF the last session Of Congress BY
Gen. Butler, asking that plans might be
submitted for the improvement Of the
hall OF the House Of Representatives. The
following is the report In full:
Having examined the hall of Represen.
tatives with a view to cnlarging and ex.
tending its sides to the outer wall of the
building, as contemplated in the House
resolutions passed June l, 1879, l have the
honor TO state that there are great din.
culties In tho way Of thus enl9rging this
hall, as the roof Is supported by the walls
which enclose 1t. TO take either the
north or the south wall away would In.
volvc the construction of new rafters OF
greater span than those now used. In
consequence Of the large amount OF labor
in accomplishing this result, am of the
opinion that 1t Is impracticable, owing TO
the shOrtness Of the time during which il
must be done. A result might be gained
equivalent, 80 far as relates 10 light and
air, and also adding greater area to
the floor by abollshing the gallery at the
south and taking out the wall which
separate the hall from the corridor back
TO the Speakers chair. This would
carry the floor out to the wall which now
separates the corridor from the Speakers
room, which wall might be pierced with
doorways at the floor and by windows at
the upper story. l am OF the opinion,
however, that the glare Of light thus oh.
tanned would be q source Of ANNOYANCE, !,
as has proved to be the case in the Su.
prCmG Court room, where 1t Is found nee.
essary to drape the windows and to de.
pend mainly on the openings In the cell.
ing for light Besides, II windows
should be made accessible 10 the Hall,
opening or shutting the same would
do away with all reliable control OF
the heating, and would moreover seri.
ously affect the acoustics Of the room, as
it is well known that where lattera! ven.
tillatiOn Is present sound Is conducted
in the direction Of the currents OF the
air. There are two ways OF getting room
for the increased number Of members
without making any extensive alterations
in the hall. First, the walls under tho
galleries might be taken away, support.
ing the galleries by columns or piers,
which would add the space now occupied
by the cloak rooms to the floor oil the
hall. Second, by obtaining smaller desks
and rearranging them. 1t should be borne
in mind that the more the hall Is extend.
ed the more difficult it will be for o
speaker to be heard from back seat. |
am clearly OF the opinion that the most
satisfactory way to get increased accom-.
modations, and the least expensive. is to
let the hall remain at its present dimen.
sions and to obtain new desks Of smaller
size, which might be arranged on the
floor in manner to save considerable
space.

CURE FOR CoRNs.-Those who consld.

"Soak the feet well in warm water,

linen or muslin, thoroughly saturated
with sperm oil, or, what Is better, the oil

mlckerel. After three or four days the
dressing may DO removed by scraping,
when tho new skin will bo found Of a

THE SAN JUAN BOUNDARY
QUESTION.

England Intriguing to Prevent EN-.
pcror William from Signing the
Judgment and 10 Break Off the
Arbitration.
New YoRK, October s9.-A special
dispatch from London says, that tho
written judgment In the San Juan arbi-
tratiOn only now wants the signature Of
the Emperor. 1t decides In favor Of the
United States making the canal De.
haro boundary. The cause Of the delay
in communicating the judgment Is, that
an English diplomatic intrigue Is on
foot, the object OF which Is TO modify the
Emperors Judgment as to cause tho arbl.
tration to bCcomea failure. Odo Russell,
the English Minister in Berlin, therefore
strives to prevent the Emperor acting on
the Judgment, and is endeavOring to raise
4 false issue. The article in tho Times OF
October 18th was inspired by foreign of.
GERS. This view the government urges ut
Berlin, saying; The Emperor deciding
upon any one of those channels falsi(es
the words OF the treaty. Judgment is re.
qutred on two specified points. Should
Russell iail 10 meet the declaration favor.
ing an intermediate channel for bound.
AIRY, he Is to labor for negative judg.
ment; that is neither Deharo nor Rosario
IS tue channel described in the treaty.
This arbitration will foil, like that sub.
mitted previously to the King of the Meth.
erlands, who instead oil giving definite
decision recommended compromise.
The efforts of :he Princess Victoria, wife
OF the Crown Prince, nave been enlisted
by those engaged in the intrigue. Bleeke
Rhodcr, a Jew broker and an intimate as.
sociate OF bismarck, is very useful in the
matter 10 Russell, and has Just been ap.
pointed British Consul General at Berlin

BERLIN, October 90.
10 Hon. Hamilton Fish!
The three experts TO whom the Ameri-
can memorial on tho Canal de HarO and
British case were referred, have made
each Tor himself very elaborate report
on the question, supporting their opinions
by reasons stated with technical precision
and exsctness. Tho Emperor has also
with the highest sense Of official duty,
given his personal attention to
the subject, ard after u most
careful study and deliberation, has ar
rived at conclusion satisfactory to his
own sense of justice. The reports OF
each, with the reasons, have not been
communicated to the United States. The
decree Of the imperial arbitrator. which
has been communicated, has the form not
so much of decree IN council as of a
Cabinet order. 1t does not enter into any
elaborate exposition Of the decision, but,
without diverging In the least from the
points presented for arbitration, DEGREES
that tho claim Of the United States of
America is most in accordance with the
true Interpretation Of the treaty of June
10, 1916. l shall forward an official copy
