countries-which is about two hundred
and fifty more than entered the Wen
ma machinery exhibition. Extra provision
has been made for annexes to accommo
date the hydraulic machinery, the steam
hammers, FORCES, hosting engines, boil
ers, plumbers, carpenters, etc.
Power in the machinery hall is chiefly
supplied by pair of monster Corliss en-.
gines. Each cylinder is forty inches in
diameter, with a stroke of ten feet the
hy-wheel is thirty-one feet in diameter,
and weighs fifty-fve tons; the horse
power is fourteen; and the number OF
boilers is twenty. This engine drives
about mile of shafting.
For the art exhibition, the most emil
nent American artists have sent speci-
mems, and it may be confidently stated
that, especially in the department of
landscape painting, the United States
presents a finer display than the public
has been led to expect. Quite aside from
the contributions of American artists,
applications from abroad call for more
than four times the exhibiting space
afforded by the great Memorial Hail.
Provision for the surplus has been made
in temporary fire-proOf buildings, though
all exhibiting nations will be represented
in the central art gallery.
The secretary of the navy has arranged
that United States vessel shall call at
convenient European ports, to collect
and transport hither to the exhibition
the works of American artists resident
in Europe. Among the ports thus far
designated, are Southampton for Eng
land, Havre for France, Bremen for Ger
many, and Leghorn for Italy. The ar
rival of this vessel is expected daily.
Mr.. Bell, the eminent English sculp-
tor, who designed the groups for the
plinth for the great Albert memorial in
Hyde Park, London, has reproduced in
terra Gotta, at the celebrated works in
Lambeth, the one which symbolizes
America. The figures in this group are
colossal, covering a ground space of fiji
teen feet square. 1t is placed in the
great central art gallery, opposite the
principal entrance.
The artexhibition includes, in addition
to the works of contemporary artists,
representative productions of the past
century of American art-thOse, for in
stance, of Stuart, COpley, Trumbull,
West, Aston, Sully, Neagle, Elliot,
Kensett, Cole These, as well as the

The exhibition buildings are APP
preached by eight lines of street cars
which connect with all the other lines in
the city, and by the Pennsylvania and
Reading railroads, over the tracks of
which trains also run from the North
Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, Will
mington, and Baltimore railroads. Thus
the exhibition is in immediate cOnnec-
ton with the entire railroad system of
the country, and any one within ninety
miles of Philadelphia can visit it at no
greater cost than that of carriage hire at
the Paris or Vienna exhibition.
An important special exhibition is
made by the United States government,
and is prepared under the supervision of
a board of officers representing the sew
eral executive departments of the gov
eminent. A fine building of four and
half acres is provided for the purpose,
space in ,-hich is occupied by the war
treasury, navy, interior, post-office, and
agricultural departments and the Smith
sonian institution.
The women's centennial executive
committee have raised $50, 900 for the
erection of pavilion in which to exhibit
every kind of wOman's work. To this
collection, women of all nations have
contributed.
The list of special buildings is con-
stantly increasing, and the present indi-
cations are that their total number will
be from two hundred TO two hundred
and fifty. Most of the important foreign
natiOns-England, Germany, Austria,
France, Sweden, Egypt, Japan and
others-are putting up one or more
structures each, for exhibition purposes,
or for the use of the commissioners, ex-
hibitors and visitors. Offices and head
quarters of this kind, usually OF consid-
cradle architectural beauty, are provided
by the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois. Michigan. New Jersey.

four feet. There are altogether eight OF
these windows, used for the display OF
stained glass paintings, etc. The arcades
designed to screen the long walls Of the
galleries each consist of five grOined
arches, and form PromeDades looking
outward over the grounds and inward
over gardens extending back to the main
wall Of the building. These garden plots
are each ninety feet by thirty six feet, or
namented in the center with fountains,
and intended to display statuary. The
arcades are highly ornanented, and the
balustrades of them and of the stairways
are also designed for statuary. The
walls of the east and west sides of the
structure display the paviliOns and the
walls of the picture galleries, and are
relieved by inches designed for statues.
The frieZe is richly Ornamented, and
above it the central dome shows to great
advantage. The rear or north front of
the building is of the same general
character as the main front, but, in
place of the arcade, has a series of arched
windows, twelve in number, with the
entrance in the center. Between the
paviliOns is the grand balcony, a prom
enade two hundred and seventy-fve feet
long and fOrty-five feet wide, elevated
IOTIy leeL ABOVE the gEOuHus ana over
looking to the northward the beautiful
grounds of the park. On each front OF
the buildings the entrances open into
halls eighty-two feet long, sixty feet
wide and ffty-three feet high, decorated
in modern renaissance. These, in turn,
open into the center hall, eighty-three
feet square, the ceiling rising over eighty
feet in height. From the east and west
sides of this center hall extend the gal
leries, each ninety-eight feet long, forty
eight feet wide and thirty-fve feet high.
These galleries admit of temporary di-
visions for the better display of paint
ings, and with the center hall form a
grand hall two hundred and eighty-seven
feet long and eighty-three feet wide,
capable of comfortably accommodation
eight thousand persons. This IS neariy
twice the dimensions of the largest hail

The United States occupies three hui
dred thousand square feet,

Inc United states occupies three hun
dred thousand square feet,
This machinery building has very su-
periOT facilities for shafting and double
lines introduced into each avenue
and aisle at height of about twenty
feet. A COrliss steam engine of one
thousand four hundred horsepower
drives the main shafting. There are
also to be cOunter-lines of shafting in the
aisles and special steam power furnished
where necessary. Steam power is to be
furnished free to exhibitors. In the an
mex for hydraulic machines there is a
tank sixty feet by one hundred and sixty
feet, with ten feet depth of water. 1t Is
intended to EXHIBIT all sorts of hydraulic
machinery in full operation, and at the
southern end of the tank there is a wa
ter-fall thirty-five feet high by forty feet
wide, supplied from the tank by the
pumps on exhibition. There will prob
ably be a larger exhibition at Philadel-
phia of processes of manufacture than at
any previous exhibition
The applications for space have been so
numerous as to require the addition of
three annexes. covering two and one
half acres, while numerous private ex-
hibitOrs have put up buildings for their
own use. The machinery hall proper con-
tains above one thousand two hundred
American exhibitors, having an average
space of two hundred and seventy square
feet each-a more compact arrangement

their natural resO urces provided by the
different states.
In addition to the grounds within the
inclOsure, an eligibly located stOckyard,
twenty two acres in extent, has been pro-
vided for the display of live stock, which
will be exhibited in a series of shows
during the months of September, Octo-
Der, and November. Two farms, more
over, of about fifty acres each, have been
suitably planted for the trials of agrlcul-
tural machinery.

in the parlor, and the quaint china tea
set upon the closet shelves, we can all cry:

Main Building.

This is a parallelogram, running east
and west one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-six feet long, and north and
south four hundred and sixty-four feet
wide. The larger portion is one story
high, the interior height being seventy
feet, and the cornice on the outside for
ty-eight feet from the ground. At the
center of the longer sides are projections
four hundred and six feet in length, and
on the ends of the building projections
two hundred and sixteen feet in length.
In these, which are in the center of the
four sides, are located the main en-
frances, which are provided with
arcades upon the ground floor, and cen
trial facades ninety feet high. The
east entrance forms the principal APP
proach for carriages, visitors alighting at
the doors of the building under cover of
the arcade. The south entrance Is the
principal approach from railway cars.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May al.-A vague state.

NO VOTE YET.

Special Dspatch to 71e Tribune.
WASHINGTON, D. e., May n-The Senate,
sitting for the trial Of the impeachment Of cx-
Secretary Bclknap, met at II o'clock to-day, and
An impression prevailed at the Capitol during
the afternoon that n vote on the question Of
Jurisdiction would be reached before adjourn
mcnt- THIS expectation proved to BE- without
sufficient ground, as ut tho hour Of adjourn
men this afternoon tho Court was apparently
very little nearer the close Of It's discussion than
several days ngo, and no understanding was ur-
rived at that vote should be taken tomorrow,
even. Several Senators express the belief to-
night that tho discussion Of Jurisdiction muy bc
continued several days next week.
Nothing Inns occurred to cause any change Of
opinion in the decision which the Senate will
reach, the Utmost universal belief being that tho
resolution submitted by Mr. Sherman yesterday
will he adopted. Tint resolution was Us follows:
Reso|tei, That notwithstanding the res!gna-
tfon Of Willa1n ". bcknap, prior tn his t,ll-
parchment by the House Of Representatives, he
b still liable to such impeachment for thc mis-
tile House OF Representatives, md his plea Of
such resignation Is not sufficient TO bur tho trinl
upon such articles.
SUGGESTION
has been nude to-day that, should the Senate
decide to assume Jurisdiction of the impcach-
until after Congress- las completed It's lsgisla-
tive business. 7rhi. IDEA seems to hare been
fayo.ably received by prominent Denocsats Of
the House, who Are anxious to complete their
work md reach home before the fail campaign
begius. Several Of them expressed tho opinion
to1iny t1lat the presence Of the House Ut Rep
rescntatiycs during the impeachment trial was
entirely unnecessary. No provision is found tt,
the Constitution requiring an impeachment trial
tn BE- llcld during tile session Ut Congrrss, and
sescral State prccedents arc referred to where
such triais have been held during q recess Of
tic Legislature, mud at other placcs than til:
Capital
eoMH REPUBLICAN SENATORS,
whose opinion WAS asked On this point, e.
pressed the belief that the Senate would not
agrcc 10 Al, adjournment Of Congress until after
tic clnse Of the impeachment trial. They say
that no provision Is made in the Constitution
fur calling the Senate together in extra session
for surlt i purpose, exreIt tn the third section
of thc SECOND article. There It Is indeed 1rro-
yidel that the President may, on c1traustlinary
occasions, convene both Houses, Or either ii
them, hui, II Congress should adjourn before
this trial il completed, the President would be
master Of thu situation, and could call the Senate
together or not, as he might see Ut. Taking all
things into consideration, It ID doubtful II any
postponement Of the trial occurs.
