All of the Committees at once or
gained and were sworn. Many of
the House Committees will report
this week. Representative Hick-
man is chairman of the Goebel-Tay-.
lor Committee and Senator Coleman
is Chairman of the Beckham-Mar-
shall committee. Both of these
committees Will begin hearing tes-
timony next Monday and will give
each side FIVE days. The reports
will be ready by the first of Febru-
airy.
In the House Friday the Repub-
licans accused Clerk Ed Leigh of
placing the Democratic names in
one end and the Republicans in the
other and failing to shake the box
we'll in the contest drawings. This
in the face of the fact that they Sc
cured a majority on 10 Of the 20
committees drawn with only two
ffths of the members to draw from.
The House very promptly passed a
resolution declaring the charges IN
true. No session of the House was
held Saturday.
In the Senate Saturday a COM
mittee was authorized to investi-
gate the attempt of John Whallen
and Chas Ryan to bride Senator
Harrel. Whallen will be arraigned
for trial before the Senate and may
be punished by this tribunal, as
Taylor could not pardon him if con-
victed by the Senate for contempt
The penalty is 81, 900 fine and i'm
prisonment. The grand jury may
hold up indictment until after GOV.
Goebel goes into office, as it is be-
lieved the acting Governor would
pardon Whallen before trial.

MACHINERY AND TRANSPORTATION BUILDING
the cast and west sides are massive
domeS. Two very tall towers rise above
both the north and south entrances
and help To complete two wonderful
architectural compositions. Imagine,
if you can. the delicate and beautiful
character of this unique work. Some
one has said il reminded the observer
of n Skillful .confectioner's best
achievements in n fancy wedding cake
many times exaggerated. The compari-
son is not inappropriate perhaps. for
the Exposition celebrates Il closer un-
ion of lie several Americas. and in the
original white the wonderful cempo-
sitiOns of staff which crown these tow
ers possessed the apparent delicacy of
one of these marvellous creations of
the confectioner.
But color has been added, and the
white has disappeared. The likeness
is no longer there. The brilliant colors
that the Moors loved so steadfastly
hundreds Of years ago in Granada aiid
Andalrsia have been revived. better
than the originals. The majestic col
umns and fancy pillars look like carv-
ed ivory. The arabesques have 4
background of brilliant shades, such
as yellOws, pinks and reds OF varying
degrees of brightness. The round
domes have bands Of green and other
shades. The roofs are all of red tile.

stantial brackets that resemble rose
wood carved in intricate design. The
lofty towers present a radiance of

Difficult or impossible as it may seem
10 the reader to employ brilliant colors

this without destroying its grandeur
and cheapening its. appearance. the
problem has been magniticently work
ed out, and the effect is not merely
pleasing and harmonious. but the work
is an artistic triumph that every person
from far and near will delight to see.
The wonderful harmony of the many
, cOlOrs that have been used is at once
observed, and there is no one feature
Of the Exposition that has aroused
more popular interest than the great
color scheme. With the 20 -or' more
other big buildings, all aglow with col
or and adorned with richly nodded
plastic work. the effect will be pro-
found surprise to those who have visit

PUTTING THE RAINBOW coLoRs ON
ONE OF BIG BUILDINGS.
Early Hints Of what the visitors
May See of Nodded Plastic Orna-
m~ntation and Color Decoration at
Pan-American Expositton,

Pan-American Exposition.
1t is. now possible to go somewhat
more into detail regarding the plastic
and color work upon the various build
inSs of the Pan-American Exposition.
The most advanced of the buildings is
that to be devoted to machinery. The
staff upon The exterior of this cdiiicc is
now nearly all in place. and the great
structure is in the hands of the color
artists.
Though a very large building, 800 by
go feet, the four facades are so bro
ken by architectural features that
there is nothing of monotony or sever
ity. Every one who has the good for
tune 10 visit the grounds during this
advanced stage of development unhes-
ilatingly arplauds the happy results Of
both The architectural and color
schemes.
In order that the reader may have Il
correct understanding let me first de
scribe tie nodded work with which the
exterior Of the building is ornamentcd
BY means of the very ingenious pro
uuctio:l known as staff, which is made
out of white plaster. into which liberal
quantities of manila fiber have been
mixed in order to make it tough and
durable. the Exposition buildings are
given the appearance of solidity and
massiveucSS us we'll as the beauty of
richly carved stone. But. since the
material is not stone. the idea of add
ny color to the work has been suggest
ed. How to apply the color so that 1t
would heightcn the beauty of the work
has taxed the ingenuity of the most
famous mural painter of the world,
Mr. Charles Y. Turner OF New York.
The very intricate character OF the
Staff work and the vast amount OF it
i'm delicate designs offered a most for
bidding task. All four of the broad
facades of the building have an arcad-
ed effect. Every window Is a deeply
recessed arch. with wide soffits and
castings. Every entrance is composed OF
one or more high arches. with massive
pillars at the sides, and every pillar
and plaster is Of very elaborate detail.
Every window is grilled and finished
with fidelity to the most artistic ideas
OF architects OF the Spanish renais-
sance, from which the general archi-
tectural scheme Of the Exposition is
derived.
At the four corners OF the great
building are four towers, with open
paviions. - feet above the ground.

huilder'S art and genius TO look back
upon with fond remembrance and Id-
miration, the world has wondered it all
that has been promised for the Fan
American would be realized. II one
may Judge by the present stage of the
vast work, the millions of visitors to
Buffalo during the exposition season,
which begins on the LIST OF May next
will suffer no disappointment.
The an-American Exposition will
outshine its distinguished predeces-
sors in many particulars. OF these the
court settings are of first Importance.
In order that there may be abundant
room for the elaborate decorative ef-
fccts. -; acres are alone devoted TO
courts. This area is two and 4 half
times the area of the courts at the
chicago Columbian Exposition. About
these broad courts Pre- grouped a score
uf great buildings. in which the multi
tude Of exhibits from all parts Of the
western world are to be displayed.
As a second important feature may
he mentioned the ornate architecture.
the use of plastic ornamentation OF
very intricate and beautiful design AMI
The employment Of original sculptured
groups in the exterior decorations Of
buildings. entrances and architectural
features. No less than 125 original
sculptured groups. modelled by some 80
or more distinguished American sculp-
rors. will be used in this feature of the
decorative work.
The use of an elaborate color scheme
has never before been attempted at IN
exposition The appropriate title of
tbe Rainbow City" has already been
applied to this great group Of brilliant
~ colored buildings, and lovers Of color
will find the exquisite harmony of
tints that has here been produced a
most delightful subject for contempla-
zion and study.
AS u fourth point of superiority may
be named the hydraulic and fountain
features. III all the courts are broad
pools containing numberless cascades
and fountains. These will add TO the
beauty Of the great work in no small
degree. Many of the fine sculptures
will form a part of these charming
fountains. 4 broad and stately canal.

Argentine merchants, and especially
those of BucnOs Ayres, appreciate the
Importance of representation ut the
