| The report of the Commission to investi-
gate the origin of the Patent Office fire de-
clares that there is no foundation for the sup
position that the fire was from an incendi-
airy origin, or from the spontaneous combus-
ton, but are inclined to attribute it to a fire
kindled of dry pine on the morning that the
fire occurred in the ladies' copying room in
the basement, and that the sparks commun-
icated to the roof through some defect in
the fiue. The temporary roof of the west
wing was completed Yesterday in time to
shield that portion from the rain storm.
