The proposed plans for enlarging
the Capitol building have been con-
siderably modified since Congress
voted to build d new $3,000,0 600
palace for the use of Senators.
When it was first suggested that the
! Capitol should be enlarged it was
hoped enough new rooms could be
provided for the Senators and thus
/ save erecting another building. TIC
this end the East front of the Capt..
tol was TO be extended over hundred
feet. There were those WHO feared
such great extension would mar tht
! symmetry Of the building and b.
foreshortening spoil the view Of ths
dome which nuw can be seen IN all q
its grand and beautiful proportions
Since there is no longer need of 81
many rooms in the Capitol, the com
lnittce appointed to consider th
matter of an extension have dccidet
that it shall lie no larger than t.
come in line with the cast fronts o
the Senate and House wings. Th
connecting portions of the buildin
containing the Supreme Court an
the Hall of Statuary are to remain i
their present condition, save that th
outside walls are to bc faced wit
marble.

The Erie has issued orders that the road

date probably about June 10. The delay
in the date was at the request of the pas
senger department, and was caused by the
decision of the New York Central TO hold
off its change until the 18th. The alliance
makes il desirable that the two systems
regulate their transportation in the direc-
ton of the fair as near similarly as
possible, but so far as could be learned yes

schedules will go into effect has not been
determined. 1t is stated, however, that
when they do go into effect there will be

no ST. Louis train run on the schedule

fair trains, but they will be run with
schedule similar TO the Southwestern Linn
tied. IL was at first planned 10 run the
Louisiana Purchase Limited on a schedule
as last az the twentieth Century Limited,
but IL was discovered that getting one train
over the road without paying rebate Was
ali that the operating department could

Tor light receipts is attributed to the

clpaily of light chunks and drivers. there
being very few. il any, heavy horses that

drivers sold yesterday from 800 to $lJO,

generally admitted that all fat cattle were
