THE CAPITOL DOME.
d Beautiful Piece Of work, ,COzzanS.
Over n Million Dollars.

Over a Million Dollars.
After the house and senate had ttakel
possession Of the wings made ready 70
them in 1857 and 1859 respectively i
became clear that the old dome WA
not sufficiently digni6ed to surmoun
the new structure, and accordingly
plans for a larger one were drafted. A
complication which then arose explains
the present need of an enlargement o.
the capitol The building was greatly
heightened by the wings designed by
Thomas n. Walter, but not widened
10 give a circular dome the requisite
height it must have q broader diane
ter Mr.. Walter in building the new
dome which congress authorized IL
1855 met these conditions of height and
base, but in doing so he had to make
this great canopy project out SO lar on
the east front that it rests over the
porticoes.
1t is considered detrimental to the az
tistic effect of a building to make the
columns of a pOrtieO the apparent
foundation of a colossal dome instead
of the substantial part of the building
itself If the main edifice were brought
out far enough to the east to allow the
great dome to have a solid base all
the way to the ground its dignity
would be heightened. In fact, this was
done on the west front by +. L. Ohm
sted in 1873, when the celebrated mar
BILE terraces and landscape effects on
the slope of the hills toward the mod
ern city were executed. But the real
front Of the capitol, on the east side,
remains on its original lines, and the
great dome in consequence stands over
the columns of the outer space, much
like a second story of a house which
has been built over first floor piazza
Walter, who was great architect, rec
Ognized this defect and in 1866 made
sketches for such an extension, and
again in 1874, differing somewhat in
scope. but in each case bringing out
the middle of the east front far enough
to serve this architectural end.
The dome of the capitol alone has
cost more than a million dollars. 1t
ranks with st. Peters in Rome, st.
PauPs in London and the Invalides in
Paris, among those which the world
admires. Many persons think it more
beautiful than any of these.
, 1t is built of iron, a piece of struc-
tural work in metal, which greatly in
terests the patient tourists who climb
the 800 steps from the rotunda to see
it on the inside. From the pavement
of the great open rotunda, which is
level with the house and senate cham
bers, to the balustrade over which the
tired stair climber may gaze down, is
a distance of 152 feet But they may
go twenty-eight feet higher to the top
Of the canopy.
During the darkest days of the civil
war Lincoln insisted that work on it
should not cease. In the continued
progress of the crowning beauty of the
capitol he thought Americans might
see typiied the continued life and
growth Of the old republic.

Baltic Fleet May Not Go
East, Says Admiral

Paris, April 10-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the "Echo de Paris"
sends an interview with Admiral Rojest-
yenske, chief of staff, who expressed the
opinion that it is very unlikely the Baltic
fleet would be required to go to the far
East.
"Before 1t could reach the scene Of
war;" be said, 1.-THE Japanese would have
completed the conveyance Of all provls-
ions and ammunition necessary for q
several months campaign to Korea, and
the presence of strong Russian naval
force would then be comparatively value
less.
"There is also possibility Of European
complications rendering the presence oi
the feet in home waters desirable.
IL consider that Togo is following the
right policy in repeatedly attacking Port
Arthur, thereby compelling Mskarof'
squadron to act on the defensive, anc
giving the Japanese transports time u
land troops in Korea"
The Admiral further said the japanese
were formidable adversaries, to vanquisf
whom it would be no easy task. Every
one was not blinded by absurd patriot
lem, and he realized the war would b.
long.
