FROM THE WRECKED BUILDING.
Preparations Being Made to Take Possession
of the New Quarters.

Preparations Being Made to Take Possession
of the New Quarters.
The wrecked government building on 10th
street is in charge Of the quartermaster
general, and his representative, Capt Patton.
doors are kept securely fastened and
guarded, and there is no one admitted
unless with the consent Of Capt. Patton.
Today force of workmen were employed in
removing the brick which line the edges Of the
floors, and threaten to fall at any time. The
interior, however. will be left Just as it was
when the search for the dead was completed.
Preparations are being made for the occupa-
tion of the building on G street. A force of
clerks were engaged today in removing the pa
pers from the desks that did not 60
down in the wreck The desks will also be
taken over to the new building. 1t will be
necessary to purchase about one hundred
and fifty desks to take the place Of those that
were destroyed in the disaster. Ii
is not known precisely when the work Of the
division can be resumed in the new building
1t will probably be several days vet. the
clerks who survived the wreck uninjured re-
port each day at the Office in the building ad-
joining the ruined building. where the chief
clerk. Mr.. Brown. has his Office.
1t is believed that the loss Of papers will be
very slight. The papers of value are the COM
Iany rolls which were being copied. A large
quantity have been recovered from the wreck,
and it is thought that there are copies Of the
missing rolls either in the main Office in the
War Department or else in the files Of the Of
fee OF the second auditor.
Word was received today that H. NJ Shannon,
a clerk who was in the building at the time Of
the disaster, and from whom no report had
been received except that he was be-
lieved to be uninjured, had been injured in
the right shoulder, and also had received
cuts on the head The list of the dead, the in-
jured and the uninjured, which was printed in
The STAR the other day. has been forwarded to
the War Department for the use of the court Of
inquiry.

Important Ruling on the Chinese Law.

Important Ruling on the Chinese Law.
A special from Boston says: Assistant Secre-
tary Hamlin has just made an important decision
on the Chinese law. A Chinese laundryman Of
Wakefield. who has complied with all the con-
ditions Of the Geary act, has acquired . COM
petence and wishes to 60 home to China, see
his folks and eventually come back. The ques.
ton arose as to whether or not he would be al.
lowed to land at any port in the United States
on his return. His lawyer wrote to Secretary
Carlisle and received this answer from Assist
ant Secretary Hamlin:
Il have to inform you that Q Chinese laborer
who has registered under the act of May g.
1892, and departs from the United States viii
not be permitted to return thereto, as Chines<
laborers are prohibited by law from landing in
the United States"

Nineteenth Infantry.
The President has acted upon the findings Of
the court-martial which tried First Lieut.. VIM.
n. Williams. nineteenth infantry, recently al
Muskegon, Mich, on charges Of refusal to pay
his debts and of failing to reply to inquiries
from the department. Lieut.. Williams was tried
and suspended in 1891 for period of five years
for a like offense. and this court again con-
victed him and imposed sentence of suspen-
sion from rank and command, with loss of all
pay for one year after the expiration Of the
original five years sentence. This verdict has
been approved by President Cleveland. but the
sentence has been mitIgated to suspension for

SHOULD RELY ON HIS PROMISE OF PROTECTION
The army court Of inquiry, appointed BY
Secretary Lamont, at the instance of Col Aims
worth, to fix the responsibility for the terrible
loss OF life at the Ford building on Friday, will
not enter actively upon its work until after the
coroners jury Of inquest shall have concluded its
investigation. The reason for this is that the
witnesses necessary for the proper prosecution Of
the military investigation are also needed at the
coroners inquest. This is especially the case
with Col. Ainsworth. The military iuvestiga-
tion, for one thing, is to determine bis official
responsibility for the accident. and his presence
is an essential part Of the proceedings Of the
court.
CIVIL PROCEEDINGS PARAMOUNT.
As civil proceedings are paramount to mill
tary proceedings in times Of peace, however,
the military court must defer &c the action of
the civil tribunal in this particular case. While
IL has been announced hat no one is on trial
before The coroners jury. ii is generally ac-
cepted that Col kinsworth occupies the posi-
ton of the principal defendant before tina,
body. His actions leave no doubt as to hi:
belief in the necessity for his attendance on ia
deliberations. In view Of this state of affair,
the army court will not begin its sessions until
free to defend his official conduct before his
military judges.
PREPARING THE FRAMEWORK OF EVIDENCE.
MAJ. Davis, judge advocate ofthe army court, is
now engaged in preparing the framework OF
the evidence to be submitted to the court.
and is ascertaining the names and
knowledge of the different witnesses
who may be able to throw
any light on the case. His idea is to summon
only such witnesses as necessary to a clear
understanding Of the facts in the case and
avoid the taking Of mass Of merely cumula-
tive evidence.
CLERKS NEED NOT FEAR
Friends Of Secretary Lamont are indignant
over the report that clerks in the record and
pension Office are still afraid to testify before
the coroner's jury while Col Aims
and pension Office. "why should the
clerks fear Col Ainsworth?' said high official
of the War Department TODAY. "Is it possible
that they do not know that he has no power
whatever to dismiss them? All appointments
and dismissals in the War Department are
subject to the authority of Secretary Lamont,
and Col. Ainsworth can do nothing in that re-
spect without his approval. Secretary Lamont
has said that the clerks perfectly free in this
matter and that their testimony will in no wise
jeopardize their positions. Col Ainsworth has no
jurisdiction in the matter. Ii is true he might
recommend a clerks dismissal or a reduction in
his salary, but it would not be done unless the
secretary approved il, and hope that no one
has SO poor an opinion Of Mr.. Lamont as to
believe that he would lend his aid 70 such an
act, especially after he has gone 10 the trouble
of assuring the clerks that they shall be pro-
tected."

The Emergency Hospital Patients.

All the patients at the Emergency Hospital
show signs Of Improvement today, and with
the exception Of Mr.. Ames and Mr.. Metcalf are
now beyond the danger point. Mr.. Penning-
ton is much better that arrangements
have been made for his removal to his home
this afternoon. II is not likely that any of the
others will be moved for q day or two yet.
There is strong hopes for the recovery Of all Of
them.

here for many years. Just what Col.
Ainsworth gains by raising the question
