so Great as Supposed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. "a large force of
men are at work in the burned wings of the
Patent Office to-day, picking out models not
entirely destroyed. Many are in compare
lively good condition as they were mainly co M
posed of iron. Another large force is at work
restoring to their proper places the records and
books which were removed. In the unburnt
portion of the Patent Office employees are at
work replacing models in position. The sew
eral bureaus are attending to their regular
work as heretofore. Several firemen are on
the roof the building in case any fire should
still be under the roof. All the fine fresco
work in the Patent Office room is damaged by
water
There is very confused appearance in the
Interior Department building. Only persons
having duties to perform are admitted. No
female clerks of the department are on duty
today,
There are some apprehensions that the
walls of the north and west wings have sprnng
and it may be necessary to take them down.
The department adyertses for proposals for
temporary roof for that part of the building
burned. Several buildings in the city have
been already offered for the use of the govern
ment.
On careful Investigation of the results of the
fire in the Pateut Office the loss does not seem
SO great as apprehended. OF the $4,000 mod
els contained in the mod ell room about 10000
were destroyed, all being valuable as entering
into patent litigations or as curiosites. The re-
jected models, numbering 10000, were entirely
destroyed. The classes were of harvesters, ag
ricultural implements of all descriptions, and
all relating to railroads, hydraulics and ppeu-
mates of every kind, and several other minor
classes, including many models of considerable
importance. ALI the models in the arts,
buildings, hardware, printing! and sewing ma
chimes were saved. The original model of the
cotton gin was destroyed. The value of the
property destroyed in the abstract will aggre-
gate about 100000. but as large class of the
models cannot or will not be replaced, the ac-
tual loss will probably not reach over $S00,0OO
or 5000 O00 The Patent Office has to its credit
with the treasury of the United States over and
above its earnings sum sufficient to meet this
expenditure, but it cannot be used without an
appropriation by Congress.
