COST OF THIS STRIKE.

Thus Far the PennsylvanKa Company Has
Had SCI Cars Burned In Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 9---Some idea of what
the strike has meant to Chicago rail-
roads can be obtained when the or
ganization of the Pennsylvania line is
noted.
The company immediately after the
declaring of the Pullman boycott, es-
tablished headquarters in the city
under the charge of a strike manager,
and proce eded with an organizati
warlixe and complete A commits
sariat OF seven barracks was esta b.
lished, and for week the department
has been feeding and lodging ], 500
people A force of $50 deputy mar
shals was organized with officers, pa
troll wagons and signal stations, and a
corps of engineers was put to work
upon the details of the damage done
by the rioters.
But despite this force of men backed
by the city, county, state and govern
ment troops the company has suffered
fearful loss of property. Up to Sat
urday night 667 of its freight cars had
been burned. besides many signal
towers, oil and tool houses ard other
property OF the burned cars more
than 100 were loaded, about fifty with
coal and cinders and the remainder
with merchandise No attempt at an
accurate estimat tie of the damage has
yet been made, but it will reach an
enormous figure.

presents a different phase from the

It was pointed out to the senators
that the governor must certify that
he has exhausted all of the resources

In That City.

in Thu City.
ST. LOUIS, No. July s.-The great
railroad strike, so far as St. Louis
is concerned, may be said practically
to be approaching an end and the
only desideratum now is ability to
transfer to outlying railroads traffic
originating here and hauled over
divisions having St Louis as the
originating point On the west side
of the river the return last night of
the Missouri Pacific switch and yard
men has resulted in the trOoping back
to work of all but forty of the $50
men hitherto engaged in freight-yard
work in the various yards on the West
side.
Passenger traffic, all of which is
handled from the west side of the
river, IS on a normal basis, the only
trains not running being a few ''du-
plicates,' as they are called, and one
or two accom- mOdations- And these
are laid off from lack of business, not
ina bility to handle them The Ter
minal Railway association has full
force at work on the West side also.
One exception to all this is the Wa
bash railway, which is still crippled,
but has so far progressed as to be pre-
pared to start a way freight each way
on each division to-day. With these
will come a test of whether the quiet

other outside division points indi-

A M:llfOn-Dollar Staircase.

HarperS Weekly.
The original designs OF the Capitol in
Albany called for a much palmer building
than the one that greets the eye to-day.
Hardly had the work OF construction be-
gun when the Centennial Exposition in
art, and the effect was marked In the
changes that were made. Thus, while the
basement and the lower story are in the
massive style of the Roman renaissance,
the stories above break into the Gothic,
Eastern and Moorish forms. Much of this
change was due to the guiding genius Of
the late Mr.. Richardson.
The assembly staircase cost about $780,
600. 1t occupies a space Of f~ifty-one feet
six inches by thirty-four feet nine inches,
extending through four stories to the roof.
The material is a gray sandstone from
Ohio. 1t is Of the Gothic style, rather SIM
pie and heavy, after designs by Mr.. Ed
litz. The Senate staircase was designed by
Mr.. Richardson, also in the Gothic style.
but more elaborate, and with an Egyptian
treatment in decoration. The cost was
forty-nine feet six inches is taken from
the ground floor upward. All of these fig
ures include the corridors about two Of the
sides Of each staircase. In the third and
last staircase, known as the western, the
space occupied is seventy-three feet by
sixty-eight feet six inches, while the height
is 12 feet six inches from the ground floor
to the top OF the glazed dome. This stair
case is now well toward completion. Like
the new staircase has grown as time went
on. Originally estimated at S04, 900 in 1883,
a second estimate. three years later, was
$34c, 00 to finish. and a third IN In
1889, was a similar amount TO finish. So
that the total cost will be over $1.000,00
