Machine HALL.

The main Machinery Building will meas
ure $50 feet by 500. 1t is spanned by three
arched trusses. and the interior will pre-
sent the appearance Of three railroad train
houses side by side, surrounded on all the
four sides by fifty foot gallery. The
trusses are all to be built separately, and
so that they can be taken down andsold
for use as railroad train houses, and. it is
hoped to have iron trusses instead of
cheaper ones, which may, however, be
necessary.
In each of these three long naves there is
to be an elevated travelling crane running
from end to end of the building These
will be useful in moving machinery, and
when the Exposition opens platforms will
be placed on them, and visitors Will view
from these the entire exhibition at a great
saving of tramping.
Skating for power will be carried ON the
same posts which support these travelling
bridges The exterior toward the stock
exhibit and the railroad is to be Of the
plainest description. On the two sides ad-
joining the grand court the exterior win,
however, be rich and palatial. All the
buildings on this grand plaza are designed
with a view to making an effective back
ground for displays Of every kind, and in
order to conform to the general richness OF
the court and add to the festaI appearance
the two facades on the court are enriched
with colonnades and other architectural
features.
The design follows classical models
throughout, the detail being borrowed
from Che Renaissance of Seville and other
Spanish towns as being appropriate to a
Columbian celebration As in all the
other buildings on the court, an arcade on
the first story permits passage around the
building under cover; and as in all the
other buildings, the fronts will be formed
of "staf, F" colored to an ivory tone. The
ceihngs Oh the porticoes will be emphasized
with strong color.
A coionnade with cafe at either end
forms the connecting link between Ma
chInery and Agricultural halls, and in the
center OF this colonnade is an archway
leadlng TO the cattle exhibits. From this
portico there will be q view nearly a mile
ID iengtn down the lagoon, and an obelisk
ana FOUNTAIN placed in the lagoon between
the two Duiidings,Agriculture and Machin-
cry, will form fitting southern point 10
this vista.
Inc Machinery annex will be placed in
the rear OF the Administration Building,
and In the loop formed by the railroad
tracks. 1t will be entered by tunnels OF
subways, as well as by bridges from Ma
chinery Hall and the buildings for Admin
istration, Mines and Transportation. 1t is
to be very large, but very simple. build
ing While in the Main Machinery Build
ing railroad train house is the type, in
the annex mill or foundry will be con-
sidered the model for construction. 1t is
all to be built of wood in the most simple
and economical manner. Its shape, how.
ever, is peculiar. 1t is to be annular in
form, the diameter of the outer radius be,
ing 800 feet and Of the inner radius eOOfeet.
The building will have a nave 100 feet
wide, with so foot wide lean-to in one
story On the inside, and a. 80. foot wide lean.

According to Mr.. Hunts plans the build

consists of four pavilions 81 feet square,
one at each of the four angles of the square
of the plan, and connected by great CEN
trail dome 100 feet in diameter and $50 feet

general design is in the style of the French
Renaissance, carried out in the academic
manner of the Ecole des Beaux Arts. The
first great story is in the Doric order, of
heroic proportions, surmounted by lofty
balustrade and having great piers at the
angles Of each pavilion crowned with

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 lake shore site, and the superior acces-
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
butasmall fraction of the entire area of this
park, which extends a mile farther south,
broadening constantly along the .urv-
ing shore of the lake. In this unimproyed
portion, much of which is thickly wooded
with fi3tiye trees, the ground is being pre-
pared for n system of lagoons and canals
from 100 to 800 feet vide vide which. with the
broad. grassy terraces leading 1own to
them, will pass the principal buildings, in
close wooded island 1900 feet long, and
form a circuit of three miles navigable by
pleasure boats.

AS to the uses of the Administration
Building, each of the corner pavilions,
which are four stories in height, will be
divided into large and small offices for the
various departments OF the administration

Cumberland River Convention Nov.

Cumberland River Convention Nov. 8.
The Cumberland River Congress
will meet at Nashville Nov. s, and it
is hoped that the counties along
the Lower Cumberland will send up
"a strong delegation-representative
who will stand up for the rights OF
This section. There should be a
unity of sentiment and action in this
meeting. Nashville has heretofore
claimed the lions share for the Up
per Cumberland, when the Lower
needs it more. There should be no
division Of interests in this matter ;
no Lower and Upper Cumberland
presented to Congress, but plain
Cumberland river, 600 miles long, all
of which needs improvement, and
let the lower part have fully half of
the appropriation. Our delegates
should insist on half and accept moth
ing less, or make the fight for il be-
fore Congress. If Nashville and the
Upper Cumberland people will con-
cede this, then they wiIltptlt9 them
selves in position to receitea much
larger appropriation. II all will
work tremendously together on this
basis-an equal division of the funds
then the several counties may
be called upon for small appropri-
alton each to pay the EXPENSES OF a
good man to stay at Washington
during the session, and lobby for this
great enterprise, impressing mem
bers with its magnitude and impor-
lance to two of the largest revenue
paying States in the Union.
Tennessee and Kentucky pay the
government $50, 600, 600 year tax on
whiskpy alone, to say nothing OF
other taxation, and thus are entitled
to at least $6 600, 900, which is neces.
sary to make this great river navi-
gable the year round. Two associa-
lions kept Capt. Pat Henry in
Washington during all last winter
working alone for an appropriation
for their levee along the Mississippi
on the Arkansas side, and it was the
best money they ever spent. Now
let us profit by this example; unite
the two interests, cooperate and di-
vide the money. Nashville is work
ing for local interest, while great
er benefit Is to be derived by first
opening the mouth ur lower part of
the river, giving the city the advan-
tage of the competition in free navi-
cation the year round, and there is no
good sense in postponing this work
until the upper river is locked and
damned. It's like beginning at the
top of roof to shingles house.

About the sugar Tag.

Mckinley declares that the tariff
is not a tax. Then in the next
breath he claims a great deal OF
credit for giving the country free
sugar. Since the tariff was taken off
a poor man can buy twenty pounds
of sugar for $l.00. Before the tariff
was taken off twenty pounds Of
sugar cost $l.40. Then was that not
a tax of 40 cents on every dollars
worth of sugar? But the villainy
in thisS matter is that the tax has
been added on clothing aud other
necessaries of life to pay the sugar
producers 2 cents a pound bounty.
Is this not II tax Mr.. Edmund5 re-
fused to support the Mckinley bill
unless his Vermont friends were
paid 2 cents bounty on their maple
sugar. 1t cost these Vermonters
nothing to make sugar, but to tap
the trees and set around their camp
fires and bail the tree water, and it
seems that this is still sugar tax.
Again, before the duty was re-
moved, sugar brought the govern
ment about $4O,000,0O0 a year reve-
nue., which was a tax on the cOnsum-
ers, and all this tax on sugar went
into the treasury. Now this $40, O00,-
600 tax is transferred to clothing, tin
ware, buttons and hundreds of other
necessities, which the people have to
pay all the same, and the money
goes into the pockets of the manu-
facturers. This is direct robbery.
