§ MR. RYLANDSsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether, in the event of the rebuilding of the Embassy House at Constantinople being determined upon, he will lay upon the Table of the House the estimates of the work proposed to be done before any contracts for the same are entered into or sanctioned by the Treasury?
§ MR. STANSFELD, in reply, said, that no contract would be entered into for rebuilding the Embassy House at Constantinople until an estimate of the cost had been laid before the House. Of course, any estimate laid upon the Table of the House during the present Session must, of necessity, be a rough one.
