A Brief Story of The Exposition,
Its Grounds And Buildings.

The South Carolina Interstate
and West Indian Exposition will
open in tho City Of Charleston,
S. c., December 1, 1901, and close
June 1, 1902. The Exposition
Company has been chartered by
the State of South Carolina, with
a capital stock of $4,000. Active
work upon the Exposition project
has only been in progress since
about the first of last, mounth
and what has been accomplish
ed in the. period that has elaps-
ed since then is without parallel
IN the history of exposition
building. The site of the Elk,
position will be on the
eastern bank of the Ashley River
within q mile and half of the
business centre of the City of
Charlie ;ton. TIE grounds are
beautifully situated, and will lend
themselves to the most artistic
treatment. One half of the grounds
will be devoted to the Main Ex-
position Buildings, the Midway
Conces ions and the Administers
tion Offices of the great show. The
remaining part Of the grounds will
preserve their present great natural
beauty, and will be devoted to the
buildings and exhibits made by
the Government and the several
States of the Union, which vii
take part in the Exposition. Some

treatment and practical utility.
The windows in all of these will
be carried at least eight feet above
the floor, the roof trusses being
constructed upon the canti1ever
principle, thus avoiding the usual
massing of unsigbtly wooden
framework and emphasizing the
graceful lines of arches and circles,
starting from the, principal domes
and carried through the wings and
approaches.
The Administration Building is
of most attractive design and will
be occupied by the officers and
staff of the Exposition. The Archi-
tect has departed widely from the
usual style in designing this struc.
ture. The principal Exposition
entrances and exits have been
combined with it. The central
dome of this building will be about
seventy-fve feet in height and each
wing will be hanked by other tow
ers Of lesser height but equally ar
tistic design. In harmony with
the Spanish Renaissance type,
which will prevail throughout the
Exposition architecture, the build
ing will be covered with wide
over-hanging roof of corrugated
Spanish tiles. At the GENRE a
wide balcony or porch will project
boldly into the grounds. Inside
the central dome, which will be
three stories IN height, richly
decorated colonade will support
the overhanging gallery.
The Mineral and Forestry Build
ing will contain between twenty
and thirty thousand feet of floor
space. This building will stand
directly opposite the Administra-
tion building. 1t will be circular
in form, with fanking towers. The
interior will be open from the
ground to the rafters and the ex:
terror effects of strength and solid
ity will be gained by huge masses
of walls, the enrichment of this
structure being secured by special
ornamentation of it's principal and
side entrances. The windows OF
this building will bo high above
the floor line and the whole effect
of light and shade will be gained
by overbanging wide cornices ;
the Spanish Renaissance and the
Spanish Mission type of architec-
ture. as exemplified in Southern
California and in Texas, being
combined in most effective way.
All of the main Exposition
buildings will be connected in the
la"ge circle surrounding the Court
of Palaces.

DUN's REVIEW.
Au Account of Trade and Busl-
ness the Past Week.

New York, Jan. 25-Rarely has
there been more business staples
and manufactures at principally
unchanged prices than during the
period since Nov. 1st. This week
seems to have marked the climax
of enormous dealings at figures
which have become familiar.
There was heavy trade in pig
iron at better prices, and a large
distribution of dry goods at a firm
er range of quotations, and a rush
to secura prompt delivery in boots
and shoes. All things indicate
that business may have escaped
one of these weary readjustments
of prices which proved SO trying
of recent years.
The jobbing trade in the inte-
rior is good. Collections continue
excellent. Bank clearings of the
leading cities have increased.
Railroad earnings show gain. The
iron and steel industry is steady
but manufacturers consider freight
rates to the sea coast excessive.
Leather is irregular in demand.
Hides in Chicago has fluctuated
wildly. Wood has declined this
week. Cotton has maintained it's
recent advance.
The money situation is excel.
lent. Grain in the northwe,t is
inactive and stocks less active.

Tie Townes Suit Has Been Set
tied.

The Townes case was settled to-
day. The city pays $4,000 to
Willis G. Townes, of New York,
and DR. Henry H. Townes, of South
Carolina. The payment is to be
made when such judgment has
been handed down from the South
Carolina courts as the CITY shall
direct.
The Townes case-tbe suit was
brought in 1S94-as set out in the
complaint, was that some twelve
or fifteen years prior the Augusta
canal company-the Augusta canal
company and the city are now'all
the same-unlawfully and without
the consent OF the plaintiffs, caus-
ed to be built dam across the Sa-
vaunah river, and upon their said
lands, and did wrongfully dig up
the same and make large excave-
tions thereon and built thereon a
stone dam; that said dam being
built across said river caused the
water therein to bs backed up and
raised far above it's level in the
natural flow of said stream, and
thereby CAUSED a large portion of
the plaintiffs said tract of land,
which lies next to and adjacent to
said river, and which was formerly
cultivated, to become 30 sobbed
and saturated by said back wster
as to be unfit for agricultural pur-
poses, and the plaintiffs further
charged that the back wafer caus-
ed in the said river by the erec-
ton of the said dam, has caused a
considerable portion of their said
tract of land to be overhowed and
rendered useless and thereby and
on account of the said sobbing and
overhowiog of said lands deprived
the nlajntiffs the use of same.
ovERTUREs FOR SETTLEMENT.
Recently overtures for settle
ment were made. The city was
not averse to this, nor were the
plaintiffs. The canal dam de-
mands $4,000 of repairs. The
last mistrial came with nine votes
against the city. If the plaintiffs
won the city was confronted with
continuous damage suits. Else
the dam must be moved. To move
the dam would cost $4,000. Even
then the damage suits were not en-
tirely wiped out, for the Townes
property claims islands in and up
The stream that might be overflow
ed by new dam.
rhe city has spent between 3d.
600 and $4,000 in the litigation.
II was unwilling to make neces-
sary repairs to the dam while the
litigation was pending, and the
dam must have the repairs. 1t was
concluded 10 settle the action for
the sum named, and the negotia.
tions to that end were closed up
to-day, w. H. Barrett, Esq, city
attorney, representing the city

Much to Cheer Colorado Republicans.
Denver Times.)

lDenVer IlmeS.)
Republicans of Colorado cannot but
feel the greatest cheerfulness and &C.
casion for encouragement in the re-
suits of the elections in the various
sections of the state. 1T is true that
Arapahoe and Teller and few other
counties did not fulfill the promises
that had been made for them, but
against these, may well be set is
more than offsets the sweeping Re-
publican successes in Ell Paso, Pueb-
10. Lake, La Plata. San Miguel. Clear
Creek, Rio Grande. Fremont, Huer-
fano, Boulder. Archuleta,, Saguache
Weld. Prowers. Jefferson, and sew
eral other counties and the fact that
in still others the Republicans made
great gains.
Nowhere did the opposition even
hold it's own. Not even in Arapahoe
county can the Democrats find cause
for jubilation over their victory,
which showed great reductions in
the pluralities as compared with prev
ious years. Teller county, formed as
a Democratic stronghold, was 50
nearly carried by the Republicans
that the fusion forces there will not
get over the shivers for many day.
Park was soildly Democratic, as were
also Las Animas and Rio Blanco, but
in each of the three the majorties
were radically reduced. In all other
sections also the returns show that
the people are awakening to realiza-
ton of the fact that fusion's confu-
sion is not conducive to the highest
prosperity and that the remarkable
progress of the state recently has
been made in definance of the ele-
ments that deal only in calamity and
ruination.
The Republicans would have cac.
ried Colorado by a pronounced ma
jority il there had been state elec-
ton this year. They will do so nexr
year unless they shall make the most
serious mistakes. They must how.
not afford to leave the task of thor
ough organization until after the con
vention next summer.
Colorado is ripe for reform and is
ready to be redeemed from fusion
| misrule. The accomplishment oi
this will however, call for earnest
action and wise counsels. Let all be
gin now to make ready to insure the
return of the state to the party d
prosperity. progress and broader
Americanism in 1902. Victory theT
will insure victory in 1904 and manN
succeeding years.
