Worlds Fair work, and, while ii Is not in
my power to answer for any Of the three
outside OF my own. l can say that know
that the energy, experience and broad
judgment of men fully competent to deal
with the task have been devoted for months
past to pushing along, in every known
way, the great interests that will produce
an international Exposition, and at the
present time its progress should be salts
factory to the most eXacting critic If all
the facts were exposed to his view.
So far as the work directed and controlled
by the Division of Works is concerned,
would be pleased to offer the physical mani
festation Of 1t to the eye Of the Mail and
Express or to the personal observation Of
its Commissioner"
All of the main structures that will con-
stitute the exhibit palaces are as well ad-
vanced as can be desired. The last Of the
buildings composing what is known as the
Main Picture OF the Fair is now In the
hands Of the contractors for bids for con-
struction. and these bids will be opened
on December 4 next. There remain two
large buildings, yet to be let, to complete
the whole. The designs Of these buildings
are now about perfected.
A vast amount of work has been done on
the grounds up to the present time. Nearly
$500 900 have been spent on work COM
pleted and due for work now under con-
tract The extent Of this work. in detail,
was fully explained in my last report to the
Board Of Directors. 1t is not necessary to
go into detail Of work done. but it was very
satisfactory to hear the expressions from
some Of the members of a press club that
visited our city short while back.
One Of the gentlemen who had been
thoroughly In touch with the work in Chi
cago, and whose judgment is worthy of con-
sideration, expressed himself by saying that
possibly the work on several of the build
tngs was more advanced than good judg-
ment Of the materials in use would justify.
Be this as It may, the work has been. and
will be. pushed.
BUILDINGS ARE RUSHED.
1t IL not the desire Of the management Of
our great Exposition to have mere coll
lection of buildings" however beautiful
they be in architecture but it is the desire
Of the management to have these buildings
finished on time, and also to have all Of
the physical and artistic work completed by
the opening day.
While the buildings and grounds and
sculpture and mural decorations are not
the whole, they play a most important part,
however "ephemerai' they may be; the
picture will last in the minds and hearts Of
those that will visit US and the lesson will
go on down through the corridors of time.
and I can say that this part of the Fair
will be finished on time for the opening
day. This can hardly be said of many OF
the expositions that have gene before.
Any assertion that contracts are awarded
called for, and highly unjust. l say this
because all contracts of any magnitude
have originated in and have been consum-
mated by the Exposition Company through

to speed of Ave miles an hour. van will
, carry a0,e90 pounds OF freight.
The platform of the wagon is equipped
with socket stakes, the same as an ordin-
AIRY transfer wagon. Coke is used for fuel
and the furnaces are fed about the same as
those of railroad locomotive. Condensa-
ton. however. prevents any great amount
of steam.
The engine is practically smokeless. 1t is
claimed that the truck can be stopped in
half the distance of the ordinary two-horse
wagon. and can be moved back or for
ward with greater ease.
The first trip made by the van was yes
terday. when a load of 600 pounds of cof-
fee in East St. Louis was transferred to the
company's warehouse at Spruce street and
Broadway. The trip in every particular was
satisfactory, and Mr.. Tansey was so well
pleased that 1t is quite probable he will or
ier several more before the end of this
week.

PROSECUTION HAS RESTED.
Brookman Trial May Be Finished
To-Day.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Hillsboro. Ill, Nov. N.-The prosecution
closed its case this afternoon In the trial
Of Fred Brockman, who was charged with
the murder of Miss Gertie Clffford near Cof-
feen on the night of January Is.
Judge Oller, one Of the defendants attor.
neys. then made his statement to the jury:
Doctors johnson and Smell Of Litch6eld
were introduced and they swore. In answer
to a hypothetical question, covering the ev-
idence as to Brockman's mental condition
after the alleged crime was committed, that
Brockman was not in possession Of bis fac
ulties when the alleged shooting occurred.
At $50 tonight the defendant took the
witness stand in his own behalf. He swore
that he did not shoot Gertie Clifford. but
that she inflicted the wounds on herself
with the intention of killing herself.
The defendants attorneys then offered to
prove by Brockman that Gertie clifford
shot herself in accordance with an agree
ment between the two; that Brockman had
been keeping company with the girl for i've
months. and that they were madly In love
with each other, but on account Of his dis
sipated habits she refused to marry him and
they agreed to commit suicide.
The court refused to allow this testimony.
The case will probably last all day to-
morrow.

The ST. Louis Transfer Company has IN
troduced the steam van for heavy hauling.
and if the experiment with the one installed
yesterday proves as successful to-day as 1t
did on the trial trip, George ]. Tansey.
president Of the company, says that 30
of them will be put into service.
The use of the steam vans will do away
with more than 500 horses. which seems
to bear out in part the statement made
some time ago that the passing Of the
horse for ordinary work is not far distant.
The advantages the steam vans have
over the present mode of transfer. accord
ing TO Mr.. Tansey. are many. In the first
place, the capacity of a van over one of
the wagons at present in use is almost
doubled and much greater speed can be
made. These two features are essential,
says Mr. Tansey.

There are pleasure and light-hauling autos
but none of this type, The company intends
using them for all manner of freight, both
in the city and in East St. Louis.
According to Mr.. Tansey. each one of
these vans will cost the transfer company
5000. at which figure he says, the COM
pany can get as many as they may de-
mand.
The total length Of the platform Of one of
the trucks is twenty-five feet, including the
cab: there is a loading space of nineteen by
eight feet. The frame Of the body of the
wagon is Of steel. and the wheels, which are
