pleased with, and fitted for. the
Speakership. All agreed that there
must be a steady upholding OF a

attacks upon the President should
be repealed with vigori and that At
would be easv to show that the Re-
publieans have made the best record

slider the matter of an extension
have decided that il shall be no
longer than TO come in line with the
east fronts of the Senate and House
wings. The connecting portions OF
the building containing the Supreme
Court and the Hall Of Statuary are
TO remain in their present condition,
save that the outside walls are to be
faced with marble.
