chairman Of the commission having

Speaker Cannon came TO Washington
from New York. where he went from Chi
cagO for a short conference with Mr.
Richardson before the latter sailed. While
I'm Washington Uncle Joe" will pass
upon several of the sub-contracts for the
building Last night he stated that work
upon the structure was progressing in a
highly satisfactory manner He said
in his jocose way, that the contractors
gave him more trouble than the minority
of the House. He said every one of them
thought his contract the best. If not the
lowest and could give more reasons why
it should he accepted than any member
of the House could give for revising the
tariff.
Speaker Cannon will have a conference
to-day with the Superintendent of the
Capitol, the architect of the building. the
chief contractor. and others, and will try
and settle upon several important mat
ters. The details of the contracts may
