COLUMBUS, January 27.-The Re-
publican Senate received during the
day an informal message from the con-
ference committee that they would be
unable to complete their work by P.
NJ. There then seemed to be mutual
understanding that the joint senates
would be adjourned to that hour in
order to give the committee further
time. The compromise spirit has a
strong hold, and all appeared to be
willing that hostilities should be sus-
pended for the purpose Of q conference.
The joint Senates met at 4 P. NJ,
aud at the request Of the caucus con-
ference committee, adjourned to 10 A.
n. tomorrow. yanClear, chairman Of
the conference committee, stated later
that they had only preliminary con-
ference, but he thinks they may agree
on a settlement Of the troubles. II
the committee is not through in the
morning another adjournment will be
taken tomorrow.
When the adjournment was an
nounced the doors were thrown open,
and the crowd rushed in from every
quarter, filling up the hall.

Shortly before the death of William
II. Vanderbilt he signed contract with
the Henry Bonnard Bronze Company
for $50, 900 or go, 900 worth Of bronze
work for the Vanderbilt mausoleum in
the Moravisn cemetery at New Dorp,
planned by the late Commodore.
There are to be twenty-five double
and two single gates, six Of the former
being each 9 feet 8 inches tall and 6
feet 4 inches wide, and sixteen s feet 6
inches square. The two single gates
will be Z feet 8 inches by 3 feet inches.
In addition to these there are sixteen
lantern guards and frames with glass
work I feet high and 4 feet wide. Up
ward Of $4,000 or 10000 pounds, or
nearly twenty tons Of standard bronze
and phosphor bronze will be used
in their construction, including heavy
sockets and bolts by which they will be
hupg and rivetted in position. A sepa-
rate mould is required for each piece,
both large and small, no matter how
many times reproduced. Although the
workmen were all imported from Eu-
rope for this class of work, and were
selected from the celebrated bronze
foundries Of Barbedienne and THE
baut Freres of Paris, the utmost care
must be taken with every casting, as
they are required to be free from crack
or blemish Of any kind. Richard NJ.
Hunt, the architect who made the de-
signs-which are the old wrought
hinges Of the thirteenth and fourteenth
century-personally inspects each piece
as soon as cast, and his approval after
such examination is necessary before it
can be sent to the finishing room.
The first Of the sixteen double gates
has just been cast. 1t is the largest
single bronze casting Of that character
ever made in this country and probably
in the world, and is a marvel of work.

OF a dozen men at least a month after
the masonry of the mausolcum is fin
ished to put up the bronze work. AZ
ter it is completed it is claimed that so
far as this part is concerned the mauso-
leum will be practically burglar-proof.
