After carefully considering the re-
port of Expert Wheelwright in con-
junction with the plans themselves,
the commission substituted the de-
sign of Harry w. Jones, of Mime
apolis, for that of Wendell & Hum
phreys, of Denver.
After coming to a decision the
commission gave out the report of
Expert Wheelwright, which is here
with printed in full:
To the Board of State Capitol Com
missioners, for the State of Mime
sota-Gentlemen: Forty-one designs
were submitted in the second competi-
ton for the state capitol building.
The average merit of these designs
was much higher than in the previous
competition, and the plans of the five
designs which 1 recommend for pre-
miums are, in their adaptation to the
special needs of this building, superior

for; the house might better be
devoted to committee rooms,
and the area of the other
retiring room should be in
creased by removing the partition be-
tween it, and the chambers. The ar
rangement of committee rooms does
not give desirable isolation and con-
troll of these rooms. Although the
plan is somewhat narrow for such a
feature, it would be possible to in
troduce a subsidiary corridor, thus iso-
lating the committee rooms, and giving
access to these rooms from the cham
Der without requiring the members to
pass through the main corridor.
There is every reason for assigning
the space adjoining the supreme court,
8 used for legislative committee rooms
to, the court reporters; which are as
signed by this plan to the third story,
and ineonveniently distant from the
rooms assigned to the clerk of the
court. Certain of the legislative COM
mittee rooms may, on the other hand,
: be sufficiently convenient if placed
in the third story. 1t is important,
wherever situated, that the commit
tee rooms should be under easy con-
troll, and so placed as not to bring ia
contact those whose business calls
them to the court with those who come
on legislative business.
The library, although upon the first
floor, is practically 'near to'' the
court room in the second floor, having
access to it by private staircase.
By placing the library on the first floor
easy access is given thereto for the
occupants of the business offices of
the state and to the general public,
while feature of Importance for the
floor, to balance the governors recep-
tion room in the west wing, is thus
given.
The arrangement of the first floor
has many points Of excellence, and
that of the basement floor is the best
shown in any of the designs 1 present
for your consideration.
The StaircaseS are convenient, direct
and monumental, and excellent light
for the corridors of the east and west
wing. This form of staircase is possi-
bly, the best suited to the purpose Of
your building of any of those sug-
gested.
Considered with the well designed ro-
tunda, the interior effect of this de-
sign would not be equaled by that of
any of the five designs now under con-
sideration. Externally the design is
restrained and well proportioned, but
somewhat coarse in detail. The ap-
proaches and entrance pavilion are SIM
pie and dignified
The narrowness of the body of the
building makes it possible to give great
character and interest to the dome by
the exposure. from the ground up, OF
Its four fianking turrets.
The motive of the dome is excellent,
but the colonnaded drum should be
widened. Evenly spaced single coll
umns should be substituted for the
groups of coupled columns. The dome
Itself has an unpleasant curve. The
form of lantern and OF the turret roofs
should be improved and the whole
treated with more refinement of detail.
The detached columns which orna-
ment the main bodies of the east and
west wings would darken somewhat
the offices. and for this reason, and to

HOTSPRINGS,A Ark, Oct 30.-Willian
A. Brady said tonight when informed
that Fitzsimmons had refused to take
the special train which would have
brought him to Hot Springs in time
for fight tomorrow: THAT man new
er intended to fight Corpett, and he
did not come here because he knew
that nothing would save him from a
fight If he did so. Corbett is right now
In Hot Springs and has been here since
1 o'clock tkis afternoon. He is ready
to fight at moments notice, and I
have $4,000 in bills III the safe of the
Arlington hotel waiting to be put up"
All of Corbett's seconds, Donaldson,
Delaney and the others, came up from
Spring Lake tonight and waited to see
II F1tzs1mmens would put in an ap-
pearance. They were ready for a fight,
and after being convinced that there
was no chance of a fight tonight went
back to Spring Lake. Corbett will re-
main here until Nov. 1, when, as
Brady says, I'VE will be. open for prop
ositions." He further said that Cor
bett would be willing to go to Little
Rock, file a $1,000 peace bond and then
fight in defiance of the bond. 1--WE are
ready for a fight at any time and in
any place. he added.
James j. Corbett disappeared from
his training quarters at Spring Lake
and his whereabouts is a mystery to
the people. There are reports that he
will go to Little Rock tomorrow to an
swer the warrant taken out for his ar
rest by the authorities of Pulaski coun-
ty. Another report was that he was
late this afternoon sruggled into the
Arlington hotel in Hot Springs, to be
in readiness for any chance to fight in
the morning. No reliance could be
placed in the latter story, however, and
Manager Brady's declaration, 1--WE
have Corbett planted and will be
ready to produce him at twenty min
utes' notice prepared to fight" is all
that could be learned tonight
There is not one chance in a hun
dred for the big fight being pulled off
tomorrow. 1t is possible, however, that
Maher and O'Donnell may be brought
together tomorrow or next day, and
that the Ryan-Smith contest will be
brought off later, leaving the big mill
for the last. The managers of the fight
claim that this will give them a
chance to settle matters with the gov
ernor, and that if he does not stop the

any trouble that might arise at Nal

until I had rendered my decision tc

until l had rendered my decision to
your commission.
In forming my Judgment of the re-
spective merits of the designs, l have
been guided by the instructions to
Architects" and by the special verbal
instructions of your board, in regard to
the necessity of convenience of access
between the senate and the house of
representatives, and between the
supreme court and the state library.
After preliminary examination, 1
found twenty designs worthy
of more careful consideration,
viz: 1, 2, 5, z, 9. II, 13, IA,
IT, 1S. 10, 81, %, %, "a, 26, 2S, 80, SS and 80.
On more detailed examination, 1 de-
cided that the nine designs most
worthy on account of merit in plan
or exterior treatment, or both, were
Nos. 2, s. Z, 49, IA, 26, 80. SS and 49, OF
these designs, 1 found Nos. 13 and IA
worthy of special mention, and Nos.
g., 7, 32 3S and 80 to be the five de-
signs to which. in my opinion, the
premiums should be awarded.
HONORABLE MENTION.
No. 13. Submitted by Vernon A.
Wright and J. A. Coolidge Jr., Boston,
Mass. The legislative chambers are in
the east and west wings and are con-
Veniently adjacent. The committee and
other subsidiary rooms of these
chambers are well grouped and under
easy control The minor rooms re-
quired for the supreme court and
library have a like excellence of ar
rangement, giving the requisite privacy
and ease of control desirable for such
offices.

The G b e picked winners all
along the line among the capitol de-
signs. After looking over the
forty-one designs, it printed pictures
of fourteen, among which were every
one of the five recommended by the
expert architect. 1t then followed
with pictures OF the five which
proved to tally exactly with the
architects report. 1t placed these
in the order it expected them to be
placed by the commission, putting
Gilbert first and Wendell & Humph-
reys last. The only change Of conse-
quence made by the commission was
in the substitution of the design of
Harry w. Jones for that of Wendell

of sufficient size. There is no "unas-
signed space" for reasonable addition
for the future wants Of the state,":
yet the design contains a larger cubicaI
area than does any of the five designs

The external treatment Of this build

character of a county court house than
that of a state capitol building.
