WASHINGTON, July 25 (Reuters) - U.S. Capitol Police ordered the evacuation of two U.S. Senate office buildings on Wednesday after a fire alarm sounded and the smell of smoke was detected, authorities said.

A number of fire trucks were summoned to the Hart and Dirksen buildings, but there was no immediate word on any fire as authorities investigated.
