[From our re^ukr correspondent ] Washington. June 13, 1893. :,\i the Congress oi the United States were liable to criminal in dictment it would have to stand trial on. fche charge of murder in the first degree for having killed the 23 employes^of the Surzeon General's office who Inst their lives by the falling of the floors of Ford's old theatre,' wTiere Lincoln "a as as sassinated, which occurred ilast Fri jday, a catastrophe which can jever ! be forgotten by any who weie at the jtime in Washington, and which still is the leading topic of conver sation wherever one sots. In ad dition to the "23 men killed outright there were 6S injured, a number of whom may die nnd manv of whom wiil be permamly crippled. (>m gress cannot cluim in extenuation that it did not konw the condition of this J^niUling, because its condi tion ha??^>een repeatedly called to its situation, and it actually ap propriated monev some six or eight years au;o to erect a new \ building to contain the Army Med | ical Museum and library which had i been in this building. Just think i for a moment what damning evi dence is ?riv( n bv this action. . I Congress erects another building! I because this isn't safe enough for | the museum and library with th"ir l comparative1}* few attendants to re- i jniaiti in, and then allows 500 clerical | to be crowded into the unsafe build ing. Had a private emp'oyer been jeaiity of this crime h<> could ha\ej ! been legally executed f >r murder: J but Conirress ? well, the families 1 of the dead and crippii'd, who are [ now being aided by private con tributions, can spend the remaind !er '> at wo;k *v i i ! i the sr<;ne en 1 in! in view.
