I The administration building, designed by
hat distinguished native of Brattleboro,
Richard NJ. Hunt, is, according to the
guide books, "the gem of all the architec-
ural jewels of the Exposition" and this
designation is quite correct. l would like
o tell you of the other twelve great build
ngs, but time forbids. The grand portal
f the transportation building is some
hing never to be forgotten. The forestry
building, of rustic design, is built of wood
n the natural state, covered with bark.
The trees were selected from all over the
COUNTRY and include hundreds of speci-
mems. The unique effect of this building,
With dimensions 52S feet each way, cannot

The exhibits are incomplete, in many of
The buildings strikingly so, but there is

before July l. We read about the army of
If 1900 who are rapidly finishing the
work, but there does not seem to be much
progress toward settling the exhibits;
probably owing to the great extent of the
rounds. There are $500 Columbian
yards here, but the ordinary observer
would not place the number at above 500.
The Columbian Exposition will meet the
expectation of all, and all who can see the
wonders should do so, allowing no trifing

THE WORLDS FAIR,

Visitors Not TO Expect Too Much.

NiS'tors Not 20 Expect Too Much.
CHICAGO, May 1, 1893.
Dear PhPnjr:-The Columbian Exno-
sition is opened today, but visitors who
come early can't see it all finished. New
buildings are being erected to accommodate
the greater demands made upon its capaci-
ty, and it is impossible to get all the OK.
hibits installed, because freights are very
much delayed and cannot be delivered on
the grounds so fast as needed. 1t is also
difficult to hurry work on booths because
OF insufficient material and labor. The
Vermont state building is nearing compile
ton and will be worthy of its location
among the dwellings of states. At first
sight it is disappointing, owing to its low
stature, but 1t is comfortable and hospi-
table rendezvous, and all the better because
OF unique design. The Massachusetts
building is a reproduction of the Hancock
mansion. The state buildings make civ
by themselves Some of them have ex-
tensive exhibits. The Illinois building is
a whole fair in itself. The Washington
building is the most extensive. considering
the rank of the state in wealth and popu-
lation. The foundation is built of natural
logs. The pity of it is that all this is only
for one season and then must be given I'D
for the elements to destroy or for man to
desecrate.
am writing this to warn the press ex-
cursiOn not to expect too much of Chicago
next week. Don't anticipate complete
symmetry, and then no disappointment will
ensue. There is enough here to satisfy
craving for immensely and wonder. The
world is wide one and all her products
are here; but though early visitors will not
see the final pencilngs of the architect,
they will see something of how the thing
is being done. Very respectfully,
c. d. WHITMAN.

The Australian Crisis.
Another Bank Failure Involving Many
Millions,

The succession of disastrous bank failures in
Australia eliminated Saturday In the total col
lapse of the great National bank Of Australasia
with $50 branches in Australia and agencies in
most Of the large cities of the United Kingdom
continental Europe and the United States. Its
liabilities in the colonies alone $50, 500 600
Its assets are at present estimated at $500 900
The cause of the failure was a heavy run on the
bank and all its branches. Since the first Of the
month more than S32, 500, 900 hes been Withdrawn
from deposit The deposits of the bank amount
to nearly S45, 100000. of which about 10 per cent
belong to persons IN England. Part of the de.
posits have been transferred TO the banks now
trying to reconstruct the financial institutions
which have gone to pieces in Australia recently.

In which he said that the bridge system was al.
