Venice to Be Reproduced on a Small
Scale in Lake Michigan.

One of the novel buildings :at Ithe Exposi
tion will be the Casino and pier. The Casino
which will stand out in Ethe lake 1000 feet
from the shore, Is intended to reproduce
Venice on small scale in Lake Michigan.
Burling & Whltehouse of Chicago have COM
pleted the design for this structure, and the
architecture Is Of course of Venetian order.
The Casino will be built on piles and con-
nected wit the shore by pier so feet wide.
The base dimensions of the Casino will be
180x400 feet. The building will consist of
nine pavili0ns, two stories In height, and
with the exception Of the central one, so feet
above the surface of the Iwater. The center
pavilion will be $50 feet high. There will be
communication between tho nine pavilons
both by gondolas and bridges. Completely
surrounded by water this structure. with its
fleet Of boats and numerous waterways, is
expected to have decidedly Venetian flavor.
Surrounding the central pavilion will run
gallery fifty-siX feet wide. The pier con-
Meeting the Casino with the shore will form
broad promenade. at the west .end of the
pier will stand the thirteen columns designed
by Sculptor st. Gaudens to represent the
thirteen .original States. In front Of the
Casino will be harbor for small pleasure
crafts. At night this harbor will be lighted
by incandescent lamps sunk beneath the sur
face of the water on floats. The material of
the Casino will be of wood and the walls
will be covered with staff. A striking COM
bination of high c0lorings will be effected.
The contract for the construction OF the pier
and Casino has been let.

Miners In Council Discounten ance
Hot Headed Speeches.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, July 21.-A special
from Coal Creek, Tenn, to the American
says: "The meeting Of the miners, called
at noon, has just adjourned. When the
men first assembled few hot heads began
to talk about fire, but they were outsiders
and not miners. The miners leaders then
took possession of the meeting and would
not allow such talk. The speeches were by
a number CT the leaders and were all of a
conservative tone, advising against any act
in violation Of law. The men said they sim.
ply wanted the convIcts sent away, nothing
more or less. A resolution was unanimous
ly passed to appoint committee of five to
confer with Governor Buchanan and arbi-
trate the present difficulties. Commissioner
Ford and Assistant Alleman were invited to
20 with the committee. A resolution was
unanimously passed that each man pledge
himself on his honor that not 81 worth of
property should be destroyed and that the
company's property should be guarded. 1t
was further determined that no one should
offer violence to any one except In self de-
fence. There has been relief and quiet since
the meeting. The miners feel that they are
now taking the proper course, but they are
determined as ever that no convicts shall
work here. Nearly every man present had
double barrelled shot gun in his baud and a
few Winchesters. Not small number of
rev0lvers were carried"

CINCINNATI, o., July 2l.-The Times

war. Four hundred troops from East and
West Tennessee have just arrived. They,

the disgrace attaching to them because of

. z"Brigadier General Carnes of Memphis, in
command Of the militia, says he is simply
awaiting orders from Governor Buchanan.
The constitution and laws Of Tennessee are
peculiar and anomalous. The governor Of
the state Is In doubt as to whether he can
order out the militia legally. 1t is sure he
cannot proclaim martial law throughout the
mining region. To endeav0r to proceed
against the miners civiiy would be folly, as
the sympathy OF all classes is with the min
ers and conviction is almost impossible. Az
ter the mob Of miners had done Its work
yesterday and the convicts and militia were
sent off for Knoxville. the visiting miners
left for home and Coal Creek Valley was

government bill for Ireland. based on the
same lines as the English and Scotch acts.

fact. and that such measure will certainly
become part OF the government programme
Tor the next session. The subject Is Causing
much comment and speculation in political
circles today. Mr.. Gladstone has already
stated that 1t Is undeniable that the COnser-
