The effort was frustrated, and theNmen were tied up an severely flogged.

IIWOHlDi APPR0PRIATI053 FOR REPAIRS Ef THE 8 TATE HOUSE. Report of the Architect, Who Made an Examination of the Condition of that Structure. (From Dally. Feb. 21sL) Appropriations were made by the re cently adjourned session of the legisla ture to make various repairs and changes in the oapitoL .Among these appropriation was one for $2,500. for alterations In the office of the secre tary of state, vault, counter, metal cases, etc. In speaking about the pro posed alterations yesterday. Secretary Dunbar said that he bad made no plans as yet in reference to the changes, and that some little time would elapse be fore any j alterations would be begun; that It was his plan to re-arrange his office somewhat, but before- any changes or repairs would be ' under taken In his offices, or in any tportlon of tne capttou plans of competent acmcecta would be obtained, and the best service would be secured as cheap ly as possible. In addition to altera tions In the office of, the secretary of state, there will be ehanges and. re Pairs in the offices of the supreme judges, for which purpose $600 was ap propnlated. The room now occupied by Judge R. S. Bean has been used as the 'bedroom of the secretary of state for the last twelve years. This room is to be re-carpeted, and the wall re painted, and, in addition, receive oth er necessary repairs. . Minor repairs will also be made in the offices of the other two Justices. The work of improving the acoustic properties of the representative hall, and at the same time provide more rooms above the proposed new ceil ing will .not be undertaken for several months. ' Architects' plans will be called for, and in compliance with the suggestion of the architect who made an examination as to the safety of the building, it la probable that, if the upper floor can be constructed so "as to be of sufficient strength, the state library may be moved to the new room, which will give ample room to that in stitution,! as tt will be considerably larger than the present quarter. The fire room appropriation of 1500 Is intended for minor repairs, and it Is likely that the boiler room will receive, in addition to other slight changes, a neat celling out of .the sarnie aDDroorl- ation. . j The report of J. c. Boothby to Sec retary of State F. I. Dunbar, regarding the condition and safety of the capltol, 1 which report was, by that officer sub-' mi feted (o the legislative ways and means committee, shows the condi tion of the building to be better than was supposed. The report is addressed to Mr. Dunbar, and Is as follows: "At your request I have examined the state house .building, as to need ed repairs and reconstruction, as thor- ousrh aa itmutLbte tnr tfv Mml ! given, and And a pressing- demand fori more commutes rooms, and a better1 condition of acoustic In the hall of rep- iTswinauvra, vua m WIMCn Can 6 SC- l "Lt i 'mna w" n aufflclently on the aides and tops of most desirable resuHs, vlx: by celHna'.i i . . z:l."7 tr"": Jr w"' tl tKT' Jf "T:" " rj?? accomplish these two very much de- slhred conditions, at a carefully est!- mated expense of S11.634. mated expense of $11,634 staini unsafe from examinations, bo JkIfiJVi f.'Umt0 m.ak very thorough investigation of the same.
