about two weeks. These rooms will
relieve the interior part of the Capt.
tol of a vast number of documents.
In the building itself much is be-
ing done to prepare for the coming
of congress. Some of the committee
rooms. particularly those of conf
merce, claims and library on the
house side, and privileges and cleo

The new pension buiIdlng has
been almost completed and - already
occupied by the commissioner Of
pensions and his vast army Of assist
