WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.--The House com

Rcsoiced, That it is inexpedient to dis
continue coinage under existing laws.
ResOiced, That all coin now in the

ceeding 25 per cent. of the outstanding
greenback circulation, IA o redemption
fund; also excepting all funds held Tor
the redemption OF gold and silver Certih-
Gates, which should be used in the pay
ment of outstanding interest bearing OBJ
legations OF the Government, subject to
a call and payment. az it is the judgment
of this committee that il is inexp pcdient
TO suspend the coinage Of the standard
silver dollar under existing laws, and as,
in the Judgment OF Treasury officials that
additional vault roont for the safe stor-
OF coins should be provided.
Resolved, That this committee rec
ommend that the committee on appro-
priations appropriate such sum as they
shall be advised is necessary for proyid-
ing such additional vault room, and We
further recommend that such additional
vault room should be located in the
Mississippi valley at such point or points
as shall be determined 10y the Secretary
Of the Treasury.

The Theatre Comioue Safe.

The commissioners yesterday evening, after
hearing from the building inspector that tho
Theatre Comique was dangerous, issued the
following order: "Tho chief of police is i'm
structed to prevent admission to the Theatre
Comique if at 8 o'clock this evening the in
spector of buildings should report it danger
GUS" Workmen were engaged all day in
making the necessary alterations, and last
night the thcatcr was packed to the
doors. The inspector visited the building
last evening, and pronounced 1t safe, and in
conformity with the law, and the perform
ance was allowed to proceed. The walls of
the building are about two feet in thickness
at the top, and are considered strong enough
to bear the roof. The question the building
inspector raised was to compel the owners to
place an iron rod across the ceiling, and this
is said by some mechanics to add nothing to
the strength. An attache of the theater said
that Mr.. Entwisle was not in the theater five
minutes, and made an examination from the
floor of the auditorium.

MAJ. WILLIAM G. BROCK, late chief Of
police, has not waited long to find something
to do, but gone to work like man of pluck
and vim at his old business, that of clothing.
and will in future be found at the popular
clothing house Of Likes, Berwanger & Co., of
which the genial S. Katzenstein is manager
The major has as many friends here as any
other man in Washington, and ii was an eX-
cellent stroke of business for that house TO
secure his services and the trade which will
naturally follow him. The readiness with
which Mai Brock stepped from the office of
chief of police TO the commercial world shows
something of the character. of the man, and
speaks volumes for his industry aud energy.
There is no doubt the majors popularity will
greatly add 10 the already Hourishing bust
ness of this clothing house, and be matter
of pride to both the house and its energetic
manager.
