FROM WASHINGTON.
Does Not Think the White House
Suitable for Its Present Uses.
How it is Proposed to Remedy the
Difficulty.
The Sentiment in Favor of Open Ses-
sions Waxing Strong.
rSnecial to the Press.1

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The first feeling ex-
perienced by the average American citizen visit
ing the White House is one of disappointment. 1t
does not strike him as being suitable residence
for the chief magistrate of so rich and powerful
nation as the United States. 1t is old, not part-
cularly elegant in its furnishings and with little
pretense to architectural beauty Hundreds OF
private citizens, even in this city, are more ele-
gantly housed than the President. The present
building has been occupied for eighty-six years, or
since 1900, and has been for long time mad
equate to the uses required. Not only is the mouse
too small, but it is in addition unhealthy. re-
port of an engineer officer states that "the base
ment is coated with mold and infested with ver
min which it is impossible to exterminate, ana
whatever of the modern conveniences have been
introduced partake of the nature of patchwork
and are greatly inadequate to the health and COM
fort of the occupants" Everyone will remember
the complaints that were made Of its unhealtn-
ness while President Garfield lay sufferer with
in its walls. There are only thirty-one rooms III
the building, and of these only six are available
for the exclusive use of the President and his
family. The public business has grown to such
an extent that it needs quite as much room as the
whole of the present structure affords. To remedy
this a bill has been reported in the Senate making
an appropriation of three hundred thousand dol
lars for the construction of new building, similar
in architecture TO the present executive mansion'
on the White lot just south of it, and connected
with it at the centre by a broad corridor. The
new building is intended to be devoted entirely to
the private uses of the President. and the old one
to be turned over to the public business, the cab
met meetings, Offices, reception rooms, etc. The
location is unsurpassed being on the summit OF
little knoll, with broad belt of green lawn
stretching back to the river, cut with drives and
walks and interspersed with fountains, while dl-
reety south on the bank of the Potomac rises the
white needle of the monument" This same Dill
