SELECTED THE ARcHITEcT.

The much mooted question "Who
will battle architect9" is settled at
last, regardless OF the appeal to the
Supreme court, and the commission
declares the new building will be
a,eady for occupancy by not later
'tnap January LIST, 1899. On Fri
day the commission selected the
plan Of Henry Ives Cobb, of Chicago
who enjoys reputation of being
one of the best designers in the
/. country. Mr.. Cobb says it is i'm
POSSIBLE to construct proper legis-
slatiye building with dome and all
requirements set forth in the pro-
ram for $3.50, 900, but it is possible
build two legislative chambers
and sufficient offices, committee
rooms, etc, to answer present needs.
With this in view the central build
II ng can be constructed with a tenn
porary low dome and many of the
rooms which are 70 be used when
the entire building is completed for
other purposes can for the present
be used for committee rooms and
Offices in immediate demand, This
legislative building can frst be
constructed by itself, and at some
! future time the dome or both of the
additional buildings can be added

HARRISBURG LETTER.
Compendium of Important News
of the Past Week.
FROM AN IMPARTIAL STAND.
POINT.

Our Special Correspondent at Harrisburg
Writes on Matters of vital Impor.
tance to Every citizen Of the Key
stone State.
HARRISBURG, Oct. 26.-The nearer
the approach of the state election
the stronger are the claims of th c
various politicians and their hench-
man. Reports from the different
state committee chairman tally in
this statement-tha their respective
candidates will be winners by ex-
ceedingly large majorities.. 1t is a
foregone conclusion that the result
of this election will have consider
able weight, for next year will be
witnessed the gubernatorial strug-
gle, and everything possible is being
done by all parties and factions to
get out the entire vote. During the
week just ended, it is estimated by
government officials, that fully three
millions of circulars bearing on the
qualifications of each candidate have
been mailed to the individual voters
throughout the state from the vari
GUS committee headquarters. One
official remarked that he has never
seen so much campaign literature
in circulation, not excepting even
National campaigns. That it re-
quires vast amount of money to
carry ON this work is quite evident,
but there does not seem to be any
complaints as in former years about
political assessments, etc. There
have been large voluntary contribu-
tions of cash to all parties, so the
"small fry" has not been appealed
to for their mites as heretofore.
The act bearing on political ASSESS
ments passed by the last legislature
/, is claimed to be the cause of not an
Anoying office holders, public men
nd the people in general by appeals
for afo, which meant, in a great
many cases, that if they were not
adhered to there would be evil con-
sequences follow, and as can be
plainly seen the support that is
given this year came entirely from
voluntary contribution.
As referred TO above the guberna-
torial struggle is assuming large
proportions. Republican candidates
have sprnng up in all sections of the
state, the most prominent being
Congressman VIM. A. Stone of Allie
gheny; Former Secretary of the
Commonwealth Reeder, of Easton
R. Hathaway Shindle, of York, and
Congressman VIM. Connell, of
Scranton, the latter seeming to have
the strongest following. At this
|early date it is hard to predict who
will have the state leaders for their
supporters, but from recent develop
gaents it looks as if Connell will be
Ehe man. The Democrats have
limited that either Eugene Daven-
port, of Luzerne or Charles G.
Sterett, of Washington, will be
their candidate, while in the event
of defeat of election for state trea-
surer, Silas c. Swallow will be the
Prohibition party's lea der. The
candidates named are doing consi-
derable missionary work and a bit
tor struggle will be kept up until the
nominS StiRg conventions are held.

Hastings and Mr. jackson have been

partnership associations, the former

work to be of steel and iron, and the
interior walls, partitions and floors
of brick and hollow tile. The in
terror is to be finished in marble,
hard woods and stucco. The bricks
saved from theold building are es-
innate to be worth $4,000.
The commission was obliged to Sc

present there is no authority for
erecting any building except that
which is for the accommodation of

NOW FOR THE GREAT FIGHT
OVER THE FAIR MILLIONS
The Struggle Between Mrs. Craven and the Bonanza
Estate Interests to Open This
Morning.

document was reached Livingston hauled
1t out of court, leaving the battle straight
between Mrs. Craven and the Fair people
over the pencil deeds.
This is the manner in which the case
comes up this morning. The charges
against the deeds are that they are forger-
les. To this end young Fair has already
had Notary Cooney. who acknowledged
them, arrested on a charge of perjury.
The services of Daniel Ames and David
n. Carvalho, the famous New York ex-
perts, have been engaged to back up the
charge OF forgery.
On Mrs. Craven's side is her statement
that the deeds are genuine and the word
OF Mrs. Haskins, who was present when
Fair made them, and that of Cooney, who
swears that Fair acknowledged them be-
fore him. These of course are but the
principal witnesses. Behind these are
others in great mum Der not yet known
on either side with their accompanying
promises of sensations and startling de-
velopments.
The case will be tried by q jury. For
Mrs. Craven appear Attorneys D. NJ. Del
mas, S. NJ. Shortridge, w. w. Foote, S. G.
benson and J. J. de Haven. The burden
of the fight for the Fair people will fall on
Garret McEnerney, w. NJ. Pierson and
r. B. Mitchell as The attorneys for the
ad dministrators. The Fair children, whose
interests are identical with the admins
ira ors. will be represented by George A.
Knight, Charles w. Heggerty, Reuben
Lloyd, Russell J. Wilson. Mountford S.
Wilson and Charles L. Wheeler. All in
all, il promises to be a lawsuit that will
eclipse the Sharon case in dramatic in
terest.
The Cooney case will be called in Judge
Cooks court this morning, but it is prob
able that his attorneys will not introduce
any evidence in his defense at all, but
allow the case to go to Jury.

WASHINGTON. July 27.-It is now
thought at the Treasury Department that
there will not be great loss to the reVe-
nue. from the importations in advance of
the passage of the tariff bill as was
claimed, and perhaps believed while the bill
was yet in Congress. At that time Mr.
Dingiey estimated the loss of revenue at
$40 00O, 600 to $45 000,00O. The idea was con-
tinually harped on in the fallacious hope
of hurrying the Senate, so that the people
have come to believe that hundreds of mil
lions of dollars worth of foreign goods
were rushed in that come into competition
with goods of home production. Many peo-
pie are seriously alarmed but their alarm
is without real foundation as will soon be
proved. OF course there are yet no figures
at the command of the secretary of the
treasury which will enable him to form an
absolutely accurate estimate as to the vol
ume of these anticipatory importations, but
Statistician Ford, who has charge of the
work of compiling all the commercial
statements for the department. is of the
opinion that the entire value of goods
brought into this country in anticipation
of higher duties will not exceed $3.50 600,
the great bulk Of which is sugar, wool and
lumber. Under the Wilson law the duties
imposed on foreign goods averaged about
Al per cent of the ad valorem valuation;
under the Dngley law the average is esti-
mated by Mr. Dingley at 81 per cent. TAX
ing Mr. Dingley's estimates of the
revenue lost and of its proper
tion to the value of the goods, it will
be seen that the aggregate would come
within hundred million dollars. Mr..
Ford thinks that Mr.. Dingley's figures are
rather above than inside of the actual val
uation and that $75,0OOOOO or $S0,OOO,OOO is
quite large enough. This volume of mer-
chandise is q very small percentage of the
entire commerce Of the country, and it is
from that standpoint that the imported
stocks must be regarded since they are here
and a part of our supplies. In the opinion
of Mr.. Ford the stocks of goods thus alb
normally introduced into our markets will
be speedily and almost .unconsciously alb
sorbed and without creating any notice
able disturbance. He predicts this view on
the assumption that the country has really
entered on a season Of prosperity and that
the revival in all lines of activity is gen.
uine and permanent. On this point he sees
very much to convince him that conditions
are unusually healthy and full of promise.

Panic Among Tobacco Importers.

NEW YORK, July 27.-The Dingley law
has caused a panic among importers of
tobacco, who declare that one short para
graph in the new law means a loss to them
of thousands of dollars every year. The
paragraph is a part of Section 3S of the
act which compels importers 10 pay duty
on tobacco at the weight it goes into the
bonded warehouses. This takes from the
tobacco men a privilege that has for many
years been accorded to them by the tariH
laws Under the Wilson act and previous
laws importers have had their tobacco re-
weighed at the time of its withdrawal from
bonded warehouses, and on this weight
duties were collected. The weight of tobac-
co is greatly reduced during the bonded
period by evaporation. When tobacco ar
riVeS from a long ocean voyage it is fro-
quently fnsufficiently cured and has alb
Sorbed large percentage OF moisture. This
moisture eVaporates in the warehouse. Tx
perts estimate that the importer saves So
to $40 bale on Sumatra, and sometimes
as high $50 a bale on Havana leaf by
paying on the dried-out tobacco. Importers
will now gain nothing by delay, but must
pay duties at $l.S5 per pound of the weight
on their tobacco at the time of its arrival.
They estimate that the loss to importers in
New York alone will be 5000, 900 year.
