A HALL OF RECORDS,

An Effort to BE Made to Pass the Bill,
An effort will be made in Congress to Sc
cure early action upon the bill providing
for a hall of records in this city. Every
department can furnish important testi-
mony as to the necessity Of such a hall.
The third auditors office is especially in
need Of a safe storage place for its docu-
ments. There are on file In this office sew
eral hundred thousand copies Of pay
masters Quartermaster's and pension
agents accounts. reaching as far back as
1900. These accounts are constantly being
referred to In the settlements Of claims
against the government
1t was only the other day that $4,000 was
saved to the government by the finding OF
one little faded paper stuffed away in these
files. A claim to that amount arising out
Of Quartermasters' accounts was pending
and would probably have gone through had
not the original account Of the quarter
masters been found, proving beyond a
doubt that the account had been once paid
by the government. This Is only one in
stance among hundreds Of cases daily aris-
ing. Sums amounting to many millions are
involved In these papers.
The documents are stored away in the
attic Of the treasury building. in q long
room under the caves. 1t Is a perfect fire.
trap. If blaze should ever start the room
would be Quilted in a short time, before
even a line Of hose could be brought to play
upon the fire. and the government by the
loss of its original documents would be
placed at the mercy Of a horde Of claimants.

railroad men were told that Congress will

that the system will be a practicable one.

A Vote ON the Voorhees, Bill May He
Reached This Week.
The intimation comes from responsible
sources this morning that the prospects are
80 good for an understanding between the
opposing forces on The silve- question as to
give strong hopes Of Q vote on the Vocr-
hees bill not later than next week. and pos
sibly the last oe this week. Tho basis of
this hope Is understood to be an assurance
given the silver men that some measure In
the interest Of silver win be passed imn,e-
diately afterwards 1t was said this morn
ing that every Senator who had prepared .
set speech on this question end wanted to
deliver 1t would be given tho opportunity;
that this would rot take long. and that sf-
ter the set speeches had all been made
there would be 40 attempt q, f1libuster. and
no necessity for a continuous session night
and day to bring a vote. The silver men,
1t was said. had been satisfied, OF at lee st
most Of them had been, of good rSith Un
the other side, and they were disposed to be
reasonable. The understanding cannot he
properly spoken OF as a compromise, since
1t is said to contemplate the passage Of tho
Voorhees, bill without amendments. But
the idea 10 to take uO All independent
proposition Immediately after the passage
Of the voorhees, bill what would he sub
stantiahy the Faulkner amendment.
The democrats are alarmed for the party
interest on account Of their division on this
question, and every possible effort is being
made to get some accommodation from both
factions. and bring about something like
harmonious action.
While no positive agreement has been ac-
complished as vet. the disposition to get to-
gether and to put An END to ,hts contro-
versy appears TO be growing and the out
look seems little more cheerful today.

gram from Surgeon Murray at Brunswick,

pital will be opened. and every effort made
to take care Of the patients. The people OF
the city do not appear to be nervous over
the situation. and there are no evidences of
a panic. Surgeon Murray reports that the

vate contributions. hut this is not meant to
intimate that contributions from ousids

nshed around the city, and a careful guard

twenty-five miles outside Of the city, where
accommodations are furnished for 300. 1t
will be necessary for refugees to remain
fifteen days in this camp before being al
lowed to proceed to other places.
A patrol under command Of Surgeon

Brunswick is located on the sea coast but
there Is an inland waterway extending all

number Of islands lying of shore. This in
