FAULTS OF THE VAULTS.
The Treasury's Big Storage Places
Far Behind the Times.


Washington, Jan. ga commission of
experts appointed under an act of con-
gress of Sept. 30, 1890, to investigate
the safe and vault construction of the
treasury department, have submitted
their report
The vaults in the big treasury building
are characterized as a disgrace to the
government, and of such an obsolete char
acter and inferiority of construction and
minimum of security, as would cause
them to be rejected as unfit for
use by any country bank in a
which was composed of Robert
Fl. Thurston. of Ithica, n. Y; Theodore
N Ely, of Altoona, Pa, and Francis Pratt,
of Hartford, Conn, have made thorough
test of the various safes and systems OF
vault constructions. In the opinion of the
commission it would be wise to replace
every vault in the treasury department as
early as practicable, with more modern
and safer con trCc ions,
THE GUARD OF MEN.
Continuing, one commissioner says:
''The real safety of the treasury lies in its
system of guards and police protection, a
somewhat costly, but very effective
system, where, as here. the num-
Der employed may be made so con-
siderable that their sudden attack
and capture, or their bribery,
is rendered improbable, or perhaps quite
impracticable. Any system which keeps
the deposits under the eye of any consid-
cradle number of persons is the safest
possible against all but mob violence"
The commission, acting in accord with
the treasury officials, recommends COM
plete and absolutely satisfactory recon
struction, as far as practicable, the build
ing of additional vaults, and
the introduction of sufi-
Gent number of modern safes in the
redemption bureau to accommodate the
department for many years to come. 1t
is thought this work would cost S500, 900.
The sub-treasury in New York was
found to be more satisfactorily protected
than the treasury in Washington.

>6A. Maz,

ticut, and Mr.. Higgins, of Delaware. But
both the senator's from Tennessee, will
take occasion to reply to Mr.. Chambers
attacks on election methods in their state
before the debate ends.
Hawaiian relations are still an open
question in the Senate. The resolution re-
ported from the committee on foreign af-
fairs declaratory of the sense of congress
in the matter is still pending. Nothwith-
standing the fact that the report was
almost unanimous, 1t appears that some
of the republican senator's, following
in the lead of Mr.. Allison,
find the first section, declaring
against annexation at the present time, is
objection able to them. So 1t may be that
the resolution, which at first promised to
pass speedily, will continue to occupy the
attention of the Senate for some time, and
particularly is this probable if an.issue is
raised by the Dolph amendment request
ing the recall of Minister Willis, or by
Mr.. Vests insistence upon his amend
ment materially modifying the language
of the section touching annexation.
