THE INTERIOR BUILDING.
Secretary Noble Has Called Attention to Its
Unsafe Condition.

Secretary Noble Has Called Attention to Its
Unsafe Condition.
Secretary Noble has written strong letter to
the chairman of the Senate committee on ap-
preparations calling special attention to the
very unsafe condition Of affairs in the Interior
Department building. The Secretary states
that from his own observation there is entirely
too great an amount of wood and paper ex-
tended throughout the building. the accumula-
tions OF many years, to be at all safe from
fire. 1t will be remembered, says the Secre-
tary. that the building once caught fire and very
considerable portion WAS consumed. He con-
cludes his letter as follows: 1T is probable that
another fire will occur if the condition of the
building remains as it is. II is overcrowded
with employees, amid the most COM
bustible matter that could possibly be
brought together, and aside from the dagger to
human life is the possible destruction of the
most valuable records of the government.
With our country growing as it has been ard
with the greatly increased business of the differ
ent bureaus of this department. 1t becomes nv
bOunden duty to call your attention to the
present condition of affairs and give YOU warn
ing that unless the government sees fit to make
the places for its operatives to work in more
commodious and the store houses more secure.
in my judgment, it will soon meet with a
calamity alike discreditable to its humanity
and dangerous to the security Of its most valu-
able documents"

THE PATENT OFFICE.
Commissioner Mitchell Transmits His An
nual Report to Congress.

Commissioner Mitchell Transmits His An
nual Report to Congress.
In the annual report which the commissioner
of patents makes to Congress and which has
just been transmitted to that body. Commits
sioner Mitchell sets forth in a strong and
forcible manner the need of the patent Office
for additional room. In fact he SAYS that il ia
the first need Of the Office. During the
past year the commissioner states the
utmost effort and ingenuity have been rem
dered necessary in order to find space even for
copies of patents as they have been pro-
duced from week to week. The Office
has also been compelled to appropri-
ate to other uses one of the rooms
occupied by inventors and their attorneys for
the purpose Of inspecting their pending appli-
cations. The rooms occupied by the cxamin-
ers are rendered unhealthy by overcrowdinp
For ten years, the commissioner states. Con-
gress has been urged to provide more room for
the patent Office and in the meantime
the amount Of work has annually
doubled. 1.-The time will soon arrive. the COM
missioner predicts in concluding the subject
when il will be impossible to discharge the
functions OF this bureau unless some provision
is made to afford relief for its overcrowded con-
diuon. The commissioner recommends an
increase in the salaries of the assistant COM
missioner and Of the examiners.
The report refers to the celebration of the
beginning of the second century of the patent
system. which is to be held in this city on the
Sth Of April next and the two succeeding DAYS.
The commissioner says that there is every rea-
son to expect that the celebration will be worthy
of the occasion and of the transcendent i'm
portanoe to the American people OF their patent
system.
