SUPERVISING ARCHITECT HILL

SKETCH OF THE MAN WHO Is JUST NOW
ATTRACTING CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION.
WAsHISGToN, June IA good deal OF
attention Is just now being bestowed upon
Mr. Hill, the Supervising Architect OF the
| Treasury. He is a small man physically,
| but seems capable OF bearing up under quite
| large load of criticism. He is a New En-.
| glsnder, judging from his manner, aud draws
| salary Of $500 year with prom ptness
I'D easy grace which should cause the heart
OF every true American to glow with pride.
lie Is short in stature, plump, blonde, with
heavy brown muslache, thick, black hair,
and a pleasant address. He is always ap-
pfoachab!e, frank and open in his manner,
aud holds a very important position. His
office disburses millions every year.
He has a chief clerk, principal
CLERK, three or four other clerks, q pho
tographer with three or four assistants,
chief draughtsman and nearly fifty
draughtsmen under him, a chief compile r
and twenty compilers, two or three phono-
graphers, lot of copyists, and numerous
other employees in his bureau here. Then
there are men employed wherever there are
large public buildings in process of con-
structioD, as superiuteudents of construction
to see that the contractors do their work
properly. These have clerks, draughtsmen,
between 200 and 800 men constantly en-
ployed, TO say nothing OF the large number
d1der the contractors who are at work on
new bulldogs all over the country. But
they appear 10 be needed The last Congress
in ia wisdom made appropriations for pub
lie buildings at about twenty-five different
points throughout the country, at u totGl cost
of several millions. Besides this, work is
going on at large number of other points
where public buildings are in course OF CON-
sttuction. The result il that large force is
positive necessity. Il may be that there
are rings, but there is one fact worth men
tioniog in this connection. There are in
Washington a numbsr OF firms which
keep constant watch upon the
Supervising Architects Office for the
purpose OF tidftng for contracts on
public buildings in all parts of the coun'
try. Whenever bids are opened there are
always bids from thsm, and, more Than that,
their representatives are always present 10
see that everything gees right, aud to see
Whist their opponents cid. So far ss can
judge, they do not get as large proportion
-oi-tire- work ~ tiios- muKfug study or sucn
matters would be expected to get. The bid
RS from poiuts nearer to the work usually
g lower Ia price than they, and get the con-
tract This does not look like any ring, 80
far az these men who come in daily contact
with Mr. Hill are concerned. More than
that, these men are hero at the seat of
war;" where contracts are given out, and are
III position TO watch every movement with
| the eye Of an expert, and il they have any
reason TO suspect Mr.. Hill OF fraudulent
practices they would be very likely to say so.
Aud they never have, go far 80 have heard.
II there is anything queer about Mr.. Hill, by
al means let il be known; but these are facts,
and worthy OF note in that connection.

The Philadelphia American states that C.
p. Huntington, of the Southern Pacific rail-
way, has fled sn application in tue Iaterior
Department. asking Mr.. Secretary Teller to
concede to him the 100000 acres of Ari-
iona and New Mexico land which he sought
to secure in a bill defeated at the last seesion
of Congress By vote Of 12S to eighty seven.
Upon this the Jackson Clarion remarks "that
when c. P. Huntington was fighting tie late
Tom Scott, Of the Texas Pacific, with such
desperation before Congressional Commit
tees, In lS77-7S, no one would have suppos d
that the time would ever come when be him
self would seek to obtain the very grant then
involved in bitter controversy. Huntington
declared in those days that it would be mex
cussble to grant public lands to the Texas
Pacific, when he stood ready 20 complete the
Southern Pacific TO FL Paso without the
guarantee of bond or the grant ng OF IN
acre of government land. His tune has
