MINES BUILDING.

These canals, which will be crossed by
many bridges, will connect with the lake
ut two points; one at the southern limit OF
the present improved portion OF the park,
and the other more than half a mile farther
south, at the great main court Of the Expo
sition. At this point. extending eastward
into the lake 100 fest, will be piers
which will afford landing place for the
lake steamers, and inclose a harbor for the
picturesque little pleasure boats OF all
epochs and nations which viii carry pas
sengers along the canals, stopping at nu-
unerous landing places.
This harbor will be bounded on the east,
FAR out in the lake, by the long columned
facade of the Casino, in whose frse spaces
crowds Of men aud women, protected By
.ts ceiling of gay awnings, can look east to
she lake and west to the long vista between
the main edifces, as far as the giided dome
OF the Administration Building. The first
notable object in this vista will be the Co

ness Of that awakening epoch. The long,

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.

The most imposing and beautiful Of al
the greet palaces to be erected on the
Worlds Fair grounds will be the Admins
tration Building. 1t will be the most
ornate, and, in proportion to its size, much
the most costly of them all. Standing on
high ground in the center Of a grand court
formed by Machinery Hall on the south.
the twin buildings for electricity and mines
and mining on the north. and on the west
the great transportation loop encirciing
the mammoth Machinery Annex, it will
command a magnificent view eastward.

Agricultural Hall and the gigantic struct-
ure for manufactures and liberal arts to
the embracing moles Of the inner harbor,
with their shield crowned columns en-
blematical of the thirteen original states,
to the lofty statue Of Columbus, to the
ornamental Greek Casino at the piers end,
and to the vast expanse Of Lake Michigan
beyond.
The building, with its great gilded dome,
towering up 90 feet will be the most con-
spicuous object on the grounds, save only
The Proctor Tower, a mile or more TO the
northward. and from it the view to the
eastward will be unquestionably the most
beautiful which the Exposition will afford.
Richard N. Hunt, of New York, pre.i
dent of the American Institute of Archi-
tects, and Also OF the board Of Worlds
Fair architects. Is the designer. II is the
unanimous opinion Of his associate archi-
tects that he has presented the fines: con-
eeption possible within the limitations Of
the sum made available for the copstruo-
ton OF the edifice. This sum is $3.50, 900.
According TO Mr. Hunts plans the build
ing, which covers an area 225 feet square,
consists CT four pavilions "a feet square.

this way, by frequent comparison of de-
signs. they have endeavored to obtain for
the quadrangle, which is the main archi-
tectural feature of the Exposition, q unity
Of feeling, recalling in scale and character
the most dignified and important mani
fes:ations Of architecture obtained IN the
baths and forums of classic times
According to agreement among the archi-
tects Of the buildings around the quad
rangts, the Electricity Building WILL like
the rest, have an open portaco extending
along the whole of the south facade, the
lower or Ionic order forming an open screen
in front of it. The various subordinate
payilions are treated with windows and
balconies. The details Of the exterior orders
are richly decorated, and the pediments,
friezes, panels and spandrils will receive a
decoration Of figures in relief, with archi
tectural motifs, the general tendency Of
which will be to illustrate the purposes OF
the building. II is intended that the
freezes of the Ionic order shall bear in each
bay the name of discoverer or inventor
associated with the Development Of the sci
ence Of electricity, thus setting forth a bio
graphical history Of the science

posed by the architects to 30 devise its de-
tails and general outlines that they may

henicycle or niche which forms the south
porch shall have either great chandelier
or crown Of lights suspended from the esn-
ter of the half dome, or shall be provided
with electric lights masked behind the III
umphal arch which forms the opening Of
the niche.

1893 By common consent the buildings
which have been designed to house the
various exhibits have been termed palaces,
Z title which their magnificent proper
tons and artistic lines have fully earned
1t Ia doubtful if such an aggregation Of
palatial structures has ever been gathered
together within such a compass. Seven
Btupendous buildings, any one OF which
will cover more ground than the national
Capitol at Washington, monuments alike
TO the genius of the architects as we'll as
the progress of national architecture, fit
ting temples in which to celebrate the an
niversary of an event Of unequaled i'm
portance in the history OF the western
continent-such will be the Worlds Fair
sdifices at Chicago in 1893.
The biriseye view herewith presented
gives a fair idea of what the Exposition
will look like. The grouping of the build
3ngs, which Was the work of Mr.. John w.
Root, consulting architect Of the board.
has been pronounced perfect.
Ex-President Gage, in his annual address
to the shareholders Of the Illinois corpora
ton, thus referred to the general layout Of
the fair grounds and buildings:
By reason Of the greater picturesqueness
of O lake shore site, and the superior ncces-
sibility of Jackson Park, both by water
and land, and for the additional reason
that, being now for the most part unim-
proved, it is more readily adaptable TO our
purposes, Jackson Park has been chosen
as the principal site Of the fair.
The eighty acres at the north which are
now laid out and under cultivation form
br tasmall fraction ofthe entire area of this
park, which extends a mile farther south.
broadening constantly along the cnrv-
ing shore of the lake In this unimproved
portion, much OF which Is thicklJ wooded
with native trees, the ground is being pre-
pared for system Of lagoons and canals
from 100 to 800 feet wide, which. with the
bread, grassy terraces leading down to
them, will pass the principal buildings, In
close wooded island 800 feet long. and
form circuit of three miles navigable by
pleasure boats.

A New Method of Assassination

The attempt of murderous scoundrel
to.blow up Mr.. Russell Sage with dynamite
yesterday reveals a new danger to which
our present society is subject.
The wild Anarchists gloried over the
invention of this terrible explosive as
aft ording them means of destruction so
powerful that it would offset their weak
nessain numbers. Its tremendous ener-
gy had not been long demonstrated be-
fore it was used in the Parliament Houses
of London, and gang of Anarchistic
thugs fifty expiated on the gallows ,their
enployments OF dynamite against the
brave and faithful police of Chicago
Happily, and with justice which
seems divine in its completeness, the man
who attempted to blow up Mr.. Sage with
dynamite because he would not forthwith
yield to his demand for a vast sum of
money, was himself killed by the explo-
sion. This instantaneous destruction of
the assassin is result of an effort a.
robbery and blackmail, which fortunately
will do more than even his hanging, af-
ter due trial and prolonged delay, could
have accomplished to prevent limitations
and repetiti pms OF this method of extort-
ing. He did not get the money and he
destroyed himself.
the assassin may have been a lunatic.
