for already applications are In for much
more room than can be set apart for ex-
hibitors. The management is wisely put,
ting these applications through sitting
process and will grant space only to the
best of those who desire to exhibit. Not
alone Is the United States expected to
have splendid exhibits at the exposition,
but other countries as well will without
doubt take advantage of it to show the
world what they can grow and make.
The three months and half through
which the exposition will be open are
those during which the greatest number
of people from the North and West and
from other climes are seeking the South
east for health and pleasure, and these
people will aid materially in making the
exposition a success financially. Its sue
cess along other lines is already assured.
Charles A. Collier, the President and
director general of the Cotton States and
International Exposition, has had a large
experience in public affairs and In expo
sition work. He was born in 1S4S, being
the son of one of the pioneers of Atlanta.
Most of his life has been devoted to busi-
ness enterprises, in which he has been
uniformly successful. His greatest
achievement was the successful con-
duct of the Piedmont Exposition of 1887.
Only 104 days elapsed from the first sug-
gestion TO the opening day of this exposi7
ton At the close of the exposition. after
paying all expenses, the treasurer had
balance of $4,000.

of the interests of the country in general
and the South in particular.
Site of the Exposition.
Piedmont Park, the site of the exposi-
ton, is located two miles from the geo
graphical center of the city. The 189
acres within the exposition enclosure
stretch over immense hills of gentle
acclivity and wales of SURPRISING lowell
ness. The landscape gardening, rich in
the profusion of Southern foliage and
flowers, which will form part of the dis
play, will be one of the most pleasing at
fractions. A beautiful artificial lake, to
be lnavigated by electric launches and
gondolas, will be to the exposition what
the lagoons were to the Worlds Fair.
The main buildings, with their dimen-
.sions, are as follows: United States Gov
ernment Building, 180x260 feet; Manu-
factures and Liberal Arts, 216x370 feet;
Machinery, 100x50O feet; Minerals and
Forestry, S0x220 feet; Agriculture, 150x
300 feet; Transportation, 126x413 feet;
Woman's Building according to the or
iginal plans to be 124x134 feet, but these
dimensions will probably be materially
increased); Fine Arts, 100x245 feet;
Negro Building, 1O0x300 feet.
One of the novelties of the exposition
will be a building, as above mentioned,
for the use of the negroes and to contain

the House for about two weeks, was ig-
ANONYMOUSLY ditched Wednesday. 1t had
not strength enough to surmount the first
parliamentary obstacle placed in its path.
The Committee on Rules, in obedience
to the decree of the Democratic caucus
on Monday, brought in an order to close
general debate and proceed under the
five-minute rule until Saturday, when
the final vote should be taken, but the
supporters of the bill showed lamentable
weakness. They were unable to order
the previous question, the demand there
for being refused, first by rising vote
of 90 to 101, and then ON Yea and nay
vote of 124 to 129
The advocates of the bill were dunn
founded when they discovered that they
had been beaten in the parliamentary
skirmish, and the order was withdrawn.
This was the first reverse the Committee
on Rules had suffered in four years. An
analysis of the vote showed that all of the
124 votes in favor of the motion were cast
by Democrats, while 80 Republicans, 80
Democrats and Populists voted against
it
Mr.. Bland and others loudly protested
that the adoption of the rule would cut
them off, Mr.. Outhwait rejected all sug-
gestions for amending the rule and de-
manded the previous question. The Re
publicans voted solidly with the Demo
cratic opponents of the measure against
ordering the previous question and it was
defeated on a rising vote, 92 to 101.
Among the Democrats who voted against
ordering the previous question were
Cockrell, Of Texas; McGann, Of Illinois;
Hooker, Of Mississippi; Ellis, of Ken
tucky; Money, of Mississippi; Bailey, Of
Texas; Bland, of Missouri; Hall, of Mis-
souri,; Holman, of Indiana, and Conn, Of
Indiana.
Mr.. Outhwait hurriedly demanded the
yeas and nays and the roll was called.
The roll call was watched with intense
interest, but announcement of the result
of the vote only confirmed the defeat Of
the advocates Of the measure. The sup
porters Of the bill made a desperate eff
fort to secure a majority of the votes,
but the previous question was again re-
jected, 124 to 129. The advocates of the
bill had suffered their first parliamentary
reverse. The failure to order the previ-
Gus question threw the special order open
to amendment. Though there was no
demonstration from the opponents of the
bill, its advocates were panic-stricken,
realizing that the vote given probably
sealed the doom Of the currency bill. Mr..
Outhwait Immediately arose and with
drew the special order.
