L. Amateis Completing Statues of
Egyptian, Indian and Ital-
ian Subjects.
OTHER SPECIMENS Of WORK.
Equestrian of a Cavalry Officer, a
Tiger in the jungle and st.
Louis, the Crusader,
Some of the Figures.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington, Aug. 1e.-Mr. L. Amateis of
this city has shipped his models for two
colossal groups OF figures which are to orna-
ment the Varied Industries buildings at the
Worlds Fair, to the studio of Carl Bitter in
New Jersey, where they will be made the
proper size. Mr.. Amateis Is one Of the most
distinguished sculptors in America.
He is preparing four striking bronzes for
the st. Louis Exposition. One represents
Louis TX OF France as great Crusader. 1t
was his zeal in leading the Knights Of the
Cross to rescue the Holy Land that won
for him canonization and the title Of st.
Louis.
The figure in the studio of Mr.. Amate.s
represents him as a knight: mounted on .
spirited horse. In complete armor. Three
plumes wave from his warlike helmet In
his right hand he holds the banner en-
blazoned with the cross. The mounted
knight. st. Louis. is prototype Of Faith
rather than King Of France.
The pose suggests the high courage and
sublime faith which carried him and his
knightly band through the dangers Of the
plague-infested Orient to battle with Sara
cen hordes for the possession Of the Holy
City.
In addition to this he will exhibit at the
ST. Louis exposition three other bronzes.
One is snap shot in Egypt, another in In
dia, another in Italy. The first represents
tall. slender Egyptian who has just killed
huge game bird. and is bearing 1t home
on his back
The second is tiger crouched on q
fallen log in an Indian jungle. The third
is an equestrian statue of an italian cav
airy officer. slowly descending one Of the
sloping hills around Rome. Any one who
has noticed the type Of the Roman ofiicer
will appreciate the possibilities Of this
work.
Mr.. Amateis is planning another and
grander specimen Of his best work for the
/ st. Louis Exposition. but is not yet ready
for its design to be made public.

Former Senator Begole of Belle
vile Intends to Mandamus
State Treasurer.
GOVERNORS VETO is VOID?
Commission Awards Contract for
Erection of State Building at
the Exposition, and Is
Undisturbed.

Former State Senator Henry c. BeeoIe
| of Belleville states that he will institute
proceedings against State Treasurer Busse
| of Illinois to restrain the payment of any
portion of the appropriation made by the
last General Assembly for the Illinois ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair.
In his complaint the former Senator will
allese that the bill making the appropria-
ton for the exhibit specifies no particular
sum, and that the Governor vetoed one of
the paragraphs OF the bill, which, under
the Constitution. It is claimed would make
the bill unconstitutional
1t is also claimed that should the SUI
preme Court declare the appropriation in
valid and the Governor should call special
session Of the Legislature to pass another
bill. that the bill would be bitterly opposed
on the ground that the members of the
commission are also holding State Offices,
such as Senators and Representatives,
which is in violation Of the law.
MT Begole was interviewed at his home
at Beiieyille last evening. He said that he
had asked Attorney General Hamlin to look
up the status of the appropriation bill pro-
viding for an appropriation of $4,000 for
an Illinois exhibit for the ST. Louis World
Fair. He said that he had not heard from
MIR. Hamlin. but expected to within few

MIR. BEGOLE'S VIEWS.
Mr. Begole holds that the appropriation
bill for an Illinois Worlds Fair exhibit Il
invalid from the fact that Governor Yates

In the shape of an amendment. and which
provided that the furniture which had been

greeable. In addition to the retirement

ing. who were most active in collecting
the assessments, have been dismissed.
