Description of tho Power Plant In the
Machinery Building.

Down the long, arched perspectives Of the
interior of the machinery building there Is
more Of noise and life and motion than in
any other portion Of jackson park. Sounds
of the hammer and trowel and the deep re-
sounding claug of heavy boiler plates follow
SO fast upon each other that echo has no
chance TO repeat them. Gradually mechanl-
cal beauties are rising ont Of the general
chaos and the most colossal steam plant ever
constructed Is developing into reality.
Nearly every boiler composing the solid bat
terry, 500 feet in length, is In place, and one
third of these are in readiness for use. These
boilers extend along the south side of the
building below the general floor level. a
brick wall forms twenty-toot firing space in
front OF them, separating the boiler room
from the great space under the floors of the
main building. Just inside this wall a thirty
six inch steam header cNlcDds In five sections
down the length OF the boiler plant. Ten
Inch pipes will carry steam from the boilers
upward across the firing space aud down
through the floor into the header From this
receptacle steam will be fed into the engines.
Foundations for the engines are in, with
the exception of TWO small ones. These
foundations are built up to the floor level and
are of brick and mortar or Of concrete. The
largest of these is that of the Westinghouse
engines of 10000 horsepower each, which
run incandcscent light machines. This
foundation is soldly bull Of concrete and Is
80 by 100 feet in dimensions.
The fuel plant Is completed and all con
nectious are made with the battery Of boilers.
These oil tanks arc twelve in number and
stand just south of the forestry building.
They are feet in diauzerrr- and % feet deep.
Pipes are laid to the supply maips In South
Chicago and from the tanks to tue boilers II
will be pumped automatically

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER.
The Growth of Year-The New Water
Works Conduit Completed-A
Musical Success,

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 5, ls93.-Be-
tween years of census taking, one who
wants accurate information about the
population of a city can get it much
better from the reports of the water
tax collectors than from the voting
lists People cannot dodge the pay
ment of water tax as they can the
taxes on real and personal property.
If the water tax is not paid the water
is shut off promptly. Water is used
in every house, and the receipts in
crease in steady ratio with the
population. The water collections of
st. Louis went over those of the year
preceding in 1892 by more than u
quarter of million dollars, and this
is interpreted by the statisticians to
mean that the city has gained in the
last year about hundred thousand
people, who live in dwellings and pay
their taxes. These figures, too, are
borne out by the reports for last year
from other departments whose work
increases with the population. The
building of new houses last year put
twenty million dollars in the
pockets of mechanics, and demanded
the lighting OF many more miles of
streets by electricity. On the last day
of the year the city paid bills for the
lighting of AIS miles of streets and
alleys.
Water Commissioner Holman made
the city a New Years gift by complet-
ing the million dollar conduit which
is to conduct the water from the river

WHY IS 1T =?
Are There NO Democrats of Ab1I
Htv For These PlaceSP

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-It is thought
to be very strange that in these days of
Democratic supremacy, when good Dem
ocrats from all parts of the country are
seeking Federal patronage, the Cleve-
land administration should permit Re-
publicans to hold some of the most lucra-
tive Offices under the gift of the govern
ment. Here in the district of Columbia -,
for instance, all officials are Republicans.
President Harrison's best friend, Col.
Dan Ransdell, is still the Marshal of the
district, and the colored eX Senator
Bruce is still the recorder of deeds, the
fees of which are variously estimated to
be from 25, 900 to $4,000 a year. 1t is
so all down the list. Republicans occupy
all these fat offices and laugh in their
sleeves at the chagrin of the Democrats,
who can neither get into the offices nor
learn why they are kept out.
The most conspicuous of Republican
holdoverism is that of the public printer.
Here is great branch of the public ser
vice, employing several hundred men,
women, girls and boys, and that has
control of large expenditures. At the
head Oft all is still Frank Palmer of
Chicago, one of the most radical Repub-
licans who ever lived Many good Dem
ocrats of ability and party standing
have been perSistently endeavoring to
have change made in this office, but
for some unaccountable reason the Presiss
dent prefers to retain Mr.. Palmer.-N. Y.

MAY ASK Ar ONCE FOR BONDS
Uncle 9am'0 Available Balance
Continues 90 DwinS1Ie.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The available
cash in the Treasury continues to de-
crease. Today it amounted to only
500, ,4S7.76S. The available currency is
less than $s.OOO.OOO. The amount of
gold is about $S2 100000. The condi-
tion of the treasury is such that it is
believed that Congress, imme ediately =
upon reassembling, will be asked to
furnish relief. 1t is possible that Chair
man Wilson will be asked to interrupt
tariff debate, after it has been started, /,
so that legislation on the lines recon-
mended in Secretary Carlisle's report
may be carried through. If authority to
issue short-time bonds up to $2OO,OOO,-
900 were given the Secretary, it is not
probable that the maximum amount
would be issued. To restore the gold
reserve to 100000 900 would only re-
Quire an issue of $40 900, 900, and, on
the estimates of the probable deficiency
a the end of the fiscal year, it is believed
that an issue of $75,OOO,OOO would
meet all the requirements. 1t is believed
that knowledge that the Secretary has
authority to issue bonds to the amount
of 100000 would tend to discourage
large gold shipments. In view of the
Treasury showing, it is probable that
the bond question will be acted upon
before the tariff bill is disposed of.-New

Mitchell returned last night from a day s
hunt. He was shown dispatch re-
questing him to direct the attorney gen
eral to associate himself with the prose
cution of the Corbett- Mitchell case and
said:
81 am doubtful if my authority is suffi-
cient to make any such order, and
should not do it, at any rate, before con-
sulting with General Lamar. AS to my
withdrawing my opposition to the fight
in the event of an order from Judge Call
releasing the men, l will say that the

resort, is the only one, l will yield to in
this instance. There are seven circuit
judges and each one NAV have different
