Washington, Dec. 25. — Secretary Carlisle yesterday made public his plan for the complete reorganization of the office of supervising architect of the treasury. Under this plan the architectural and technical functions will be entirely separated from the administrative. The secretary’s present purpose is to appoint a supervising architect early in January.

The divisions assigned to the. supervising ar hitect and the work to be performed in each areas follow: 1. The engineering and draughting divisions.

Washington, Dec. 25.—The subcommittee of - the house appropriations committee was yesterday in session in considering* the sundry civil bill. Director Wolcot of the geological survey and Commissioner Lamoreaux of the general land office were before the committee explaining the estimates for their respective bureas and were questioned by the committee as to the advisability of reducing expenditures. Both maintained that the estimates were as low as they thought judicious. They were also asked as to the recommendations that the surveying of public lands be made, under the discretion of the secretary, by the geological survey instead of by the contract system through the surveyors general of different states. ' This had been discussed by Secretary Smith with both these officers before the recommendations were made and they were in favor of the change. They so assured the committee yesterday. Assistant Secretary Hamlin of the department also appeared before the committee and urged the full estimates be appropriated for carrying out the Chinese exclusion act and also the provision to be made for all estimates for Alaska and especially as to the customs. Mr. Hamlin last summer visited the Pacific coast, and Alaska as well, and was able to give the committee his personal assurance that the estimates maue by the treasury were absolutely necessary for the Chinese exclusion and that the revenue would be increased by better service asked for in Alaska. It is the intention of the subcommittee to have the sundry civil bill ready to lay before the full committee after the holidays. Acts Approved. Washington, Dec. 25.—The president has approved the following acts: Making appropriations to supply deficiencies in the appropriation for public printing and binding; to supply deficiencies in the appropriation for the eleventh census and other purposes; extending the time for report of board of engineers surveying canal routes from Lake Erie to the Ohio river; amending the act authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi river above New Orleans. _____ Medals Awarded.
