friendly complexion, but always indie
pendent"
By Nov. % the presidents mood changes
somewhat, as shown in letter to Thorn
as Cooper: "It delights me to find that
there are persons who still think that
all is not lost in France. That their res
toration from limited to an unlimited
despotism is to give themselves a new
impulse. But See not how or when.
The press, the only tocsin Of nation is
completely silenced there, and all means
of a general effort taken away" This
rough drive at Napoleon Bonaparte is
the farewell stroke of policy for the year
before the great treaty.
In January, 1902, the alert Livingston
learns positively of the secret treaty be-
tween France and Spain and forwards a
copy of the Madrid treaty to his gov
eminent On February &c, he writes from
Paris: On the subject Of Louisiana, I
have nothing new. The establishment is
disapproVed by every statesman here
as one that will occasion great waste
Of men and money, excite enmities with

to the nation. But 1t is a scheme to
which the first consul is extremely at
tached, and must of course be supported.

HIDES, PELTs AND FURs.

The continuous decline on hides for the
past six weeks, in all amounting to 1HG0
11sc, has been checked. The two causes
were oversupply and poor quality, as
compared with summer and fall receipts.
There has been fully 1c difference at
times in quality alone. Tanners do not
like long-haired hides of late winter and
spring.
This has been an unusually good year
for most all kinds of furs. Prices on
several kinds have shown a continuous
advance. Fall and early winter muskrats
were not wanted but the late London
sales showed good prices on spring rats
carried over from last year, and the re-
suit is an advance; also on fox, lynx,
raccoon and mink. After March !, when
too late to send to the London sales,
prices are expected to decline most all
grades.
Wool continues in good demand at I'M

December %, Secretary Madison sends
: to Paris this last dispatch Of the year:
In the latter end of last month we re-
celved information from New Orleans
OF the introduction of the deposits t,ere
for our merchandise stipulated by the
treaty with Spain, without an equivalent
establishment being assigned.

Thomas Jefferson having been chosen
chief magistrate by the house OF repre-
sentatives on February II, 1901, through
the potent influence, unseifshly employ
ed, of his chief political adversary, Gen.
Hamilton, was sworn into office by
another political opponent, the great
chief justice, John Marshall. Neither
in the first inaugural of March 4; in the
first annual message of December 8, nor
in any proclamations or special mes
sages, of the year 1901, does Mr.. Jeffer-
son allude to the Louisiana business.
But in a semi-official letter of July Is,
to William c. Claiborne, whom he had
appointed governor of the Mississippi
territory, in preference TO Judge An
drew Jackson, who was an applicant
for the place, the president says: with

In nominating Chancellor Robert r. Liv-

quote the words of the president, as
minister plenipotentiary to France, Mr..
Jefferson made probably the best ap-

He was, except for his serious deafness,

Monroe, his third choice. Monroe con-
sorted with the less crime-staine0 suo-

obeying his instructions.
The references Of the secretary Of state,
Madison, to our relations with Spain,
England and France. were also In con-
tict with the current of actual subse-
quent events. On June 10, 1901, Madison
writes to Rufus King, our minister to
England: Il cannot but briefly add, how
ever, that we have the modification to
find, notwithstanding all the forbear-
ances and endeavors of the United States
for the establishment of just and friendly
relations with Great Britain, accounts

The ceiling of this hemi-cycle will be fres-

decorations and ornaments will be

spicuous for the perfect simplicity of its
arrangement and the practicability of its
exhibit spaces. The ten main entrances
of the building intersect the exact cen
1ers OF the exhibit spaces, the axial lines
OF these entrances running through the
centers Of the exhibit spaces from east
to west and from north to south.
The building is to be constructed with
out interior columns, the exhibit space
being spanned in one truss. The internal
court can, If necessary, be used as an
overflow exhibit space The exhibit space
is adapted to any kind of an exhibit, and
the building will be ventilated and light
ed by an abundance of windows, both
in the. exterior walls and in the clear

the plan will be the internal court which
is to be carried out in strictly Roman
feeling. The court is treated with arcade
development, which incloses the court,
forming a cool, shady walk entirely
around it. The court is diversified with
architectural fountains, statuary and
vases 1t is the idea that these vases
and Statuary shall be reproductions from
old Italian and Roman masters. In the

the most beautiful treatments of the ex-
terror will be the broad allegorical, pro-
cessional frieza on the walls of the ex-
terror loggias. These mural paintings will

treatment of the French Renaissance for
the exterior facades. In fact, the treat
ment embodies rather a feeling of the
classic than of the Renaissance 1t has
been the endeavor of the architects to
depend largely on sculpture in the decora-
ton of the building, refraining from the
ever use of stereotyped architectural Or
namentation.
''The main facade will be $50 feet long,
and will be made interesting by the use
Of center pavilion and of two end pa

somewhat above the connecting buildings

one American patriot contending single
handed for the right, against Talleyrand,
Marbois and the hero of Marengo with
a nation in arms behind him! Can it
be that the learned jurist, the trained
