WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-rhc Washington Monu-
mcnt Society which, under charter from Congress,
now holds possession OF the unfinished shaft in this
city, aud everything relating to 1t. held meeting
to-day TO consider the appropriation of 200 900 by
Congress at its latc session, and the conditions I'M
posed by that law. The society decided to give
deed OF transfer to the Government, rellnqulshlnS
possession of the monument and its surroundings,
and drew and signed the document to that end An
address will be issued to the American people III
few days, calling on them to aid the Government by
continuing the subscriptions, that the honor OF
finishing the monument may be shared by the people
direct instead of the Government receiving all the
credit.
Members of the society say that there was good
deal of hope that the Masons, Odd Follows, and
other secret societies will aid materially III the
work. and they think yet much will be done. IL
appears that the monument has thus tar cost about
$50 900, aud is only about third finished. There
are now III the hands of the society something over
$4,000 in money and quantity of maternal and
memorial stone. As soon the deed of transfer Is
fully executed and delivered thorough oxamina-
ton of the foundations of the structure VIII be made
by board Of engineers and work on the monument
