A STATE BUILDING.
Instructions by the Committee to
Architects.

Captain Thomas H. Thompson, A. T..
Hatch and James d. Phelan, a special com
mistee Of the State Worlds Fair Commits
sion TO select plans for State building.
held a meeting yesterday afternoon and
issued a crcu lar Of instructions for the
guidance of competing architects
The style is to lie of the mission aud
Moorish type, covering a ground area oil
from G0,C00 to Gj,Oo0 feet, with gallery
floor space Of two-tbirds the same area.
The height Is TO be from forty to fifty feet,
and an interior court is to be provided Tor
semi-tIopical plants, around which arcadeS
Will be constructed
The outside walls are to be covered with
Turing and staff the latter article being
composed of cement plaster Of paris, gyp-
sum aud jute. The roof must be q thing
and The interior Of the building finished
with lath and plaster, with plain trimmings,
except wh2re California woods are to be
shown as a special OTnamentatlon. The
sewerage is to be specially considered

u
Floral Society met on Tuesday and decided
to ask the society for a Sum sufficient to
cover the expense Of a floral exhibit. The
committee estimates its required apprOpria-
ton at from So, 600 to $4,000, and one mem
Der stated her belief that the whole matter
of floral display at Chicago would be left by
the States World Fair Commission to the
Floral Society.
From inquiries made yesterday it seems
unlikely that the commission will devote
more than one-ffth OF the expected sum to
the Floral Society, and the disbursement Of
the appropriation will remain Ia the hands
Of the COmmiss toner's
The policy Of the commission is to follow
the spirit Of the act, to advertise California
at the exposition ia the most practical way
that is, in such a manner rs will induce
immigration. While floral display viii be
attractive the Commissioners seem ID think
that other classes Of exhibits Will better
acCOmplsl the object in view.

After many vague and conflicting rumors
with regard to the SO-called rebellion in the
north Of China, news upon which reliance
may be placed has now come to hand. The
chief Centers of disturbance are in North
east Chill. not far from NewcAwang, and
in Eastern Mongolia. In the latter place
religious fauaticism is said to have been
the chief factor in the outbreak, and 1t is
stated that a massacre of Christians has
taken place. The military authorities seem
to have done nothing to stop the Outrages
In the other center of disturbance, where
the movement resembles balditti raid on
a large scale, vigorous measures have been
taken by Ii Hung-chang and other high
officials against the rebels, large mum Der
of troops having been sent against them.
According to latest Information the imperial
troops have fought several battles with the
rebels, in each case with complete success,
AMI a number of the disaifected places are
gradually returning to quietude. The ma
tive tribes of Gunnan nave been giving
trouble again by committing depredatlons
on the Chinese settlers. Their operations,
however. appear to have been temporarily
checked, and their leader, a desperate OF
the worst type, has been decapitated.
Opium seems TO be taking tie place OF tea
in the Fokhein province. The F0ochow
Echo says: Two tea-grOWerS are, we under
stand, planting peoples 10 the place OF tea
in the lower ranges Of their tea plantations.
Ii they meet with success others Will follow
their example and give up tea altogether
The Imperial Government, with its heavy
export duty, and the local government, with
their likin and other squeeZes, have, be-
tween them, effec,ually killed the once
hOuTl5hlpg tea trade Of this place.

The most destructive storm that had been
experienced for good many years visited
the colony on the night Of the 81 Of Deem
Der A violent northerly gale, the approach
of which was entirely unannOunced by the
local weather prophet, the director of the
observatory, began 20 blow about in the
evening and the Chinese craft. being quite
unprepared suffered very severely coal
lighter alongside the Oceanic fOUndered and
some twenty coolies were drowned. Junks,
cargo boats, sampans and in fact Chinese
craft of every kind were driven from their
moOrings and blown in crowds against the
Praya wall, 10 be dashed TO pieces 1t is
supposed that some 800 Of such craft were
destroyed. The police. assisted by mauy
European residents, rendered what assist
ance possible. but many lives were lost,
the total number being roughly estimated
at 100.
The new Governor Of the colony, Sir W.
Robinson, arrived at Hong Kong On the 10th
inst aud has taken over the Teins Of Gov
eminent from Major General Barker. His
EXcellen Y met with a cordial, if somewhat

of the T. anu O. Company here, has been
committed for trial at the Supreme Court on
charges OF larceny, Justification of accounts
and forgery. 1t IS understood that he Will
plead guilty.
The Hiogo News saws: just now seri-
Gus gambling mania is affecting the native
merchants and others of Kobe and Osaka,
and 1t has attained such gigantic dimen-
sious that we must shortly hear of some
stupeudous losses as well as enormous
fortunes being incurred or won. The
counters are rice, which is huctuatng alb
normally. We hear OF one banto in local
foreign firm whose losses amount TO 40 600
yen. This may be an eXaggeration, but it is
certain that tremendous stakes are Involved,
which, besides running legitimate trading,
must end in much misery. Business is par
alyZed and the excitement is intense.
Unless the authorities take some steps to
interfere we may anticipate some startling
disclosures shortly.
