When Congress convonccs In Doc ember the two magnltlclont ofllcc buildings dosigncd for tho use of the members will have been completed. Tho officers of the Representatives were in fact used last spring but the Senate otllces begun a year lator wero not ready for occupancy, and the Sen ators will have their first experience In them tills winter. The latter oillce building lies to the north of tho Cap itol and Is connected with an under ground passage. It Is a beautiful white marble building which will cost the Government four million of dollar It will have every modern enliven iencus of an ollleo building. The interior is finished in umrhlo and mahogany anp while tin; olllces will bo elegantly furnished, tho general effect will bo severe, rather than 'luxurious. For many years thoro has been much complaint about the croweed quarters allowed tho Senators in tho Captlol. Senator Guggonhein of Colorado who is rich enough to buy tho Capitol if it wero on tho market had two llttlo dark rooms in tho basumjnt last winter. Thoy were tho ones vacated by Senator Clark of Montana who was tho richest man who ever sat in the Senate. Of course older and abler Senators fared bet ter and among these there are not a few who are grumbling about leaving the old aud convenient quarters in the Capitol- They protest that thev will be farther from their work and more inacessible to their constituents Othors who have been housed in an old brick building origi nally erected for u hotel, across the street from tho Captiol are delighted at the prospect of a chauge The Senato as a whole, of spoken of ill tho milllonlar club is not such a pampered luxurv loying body as it is often rep resented to be. The majority of tho men aro there for work and about all they demaud In an olDco is light und air and an desk. It would not do to furnish them -common oak furniture but if a voto were taken it would probably develop un agreement of opinion 'that It in as hard to writo a speech on a mahogany desk as on a pine table. As for that the oflicos aro plain In spite of their richness and it is only in tho rotunda and some of t ho audience rooms that there Is any conspicuous docoration. Tho houso of Representatives ofllcers on tho opposite of tho square in front of the Capitol are also groped in a splendid white marble building and as that body is so much largor than the Sen ate the building is erected on all four sides of a court instead of on three sides only as in the case with the Senato offices. Some of the readers of this letter perhaps had occasions, ten or twelve years ago to look up the membnr from his district. If so ho will remember the small corner set aside in tho reception hall for this purpose. It was marked off from the rest of the chamber simply by tho backs of the sofas which furnished it. There wero twoor throo tables in it. When members of tho houso receives a cuid he came to this corner and the visitor stood in tho prosenco of all tho other visitors and related why he had come. Tho contrast botweon this and tho new quarters, though it has been modified by some years occupancy, of reception rooms in tho Capitol building is nevertheless very conspicuous both to members of Congress and to their visitors.
