INDIANA STONE IT WILL BE.

House Committee Names Material for New Government Building. Washington, Jan. 19. —By a vote of 10 to 5 the committee on public buildings and grounds today voted to uphold the provisions of the bill, which provides that the new bureau of printing and Engraving building shall be constructed of limestone. Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh has insisted that the new building to be built in the Mall shall be constructed of granite, and members of the Indiana delegation have been just as insistent that Indiana limestone be used iu its construction. Senator Kern and Representatives Cox, Barnhart, Boehne and Cullop have been especially active in the fight, and they are congratulating themselves over their victory in committee. The new building will cost nearly two million dollars.
