Chicago, June 1.-The seating
capacity OF the great Coliseum in
Chicago has been increased for the

promises to be the most notable since
Civil war times in the crowds as
5embled and in the keenness of the

policemen there also are the trusses
and girders where during conyen-
tions of less interest men have taken
their chances with blueeoats and
the law OF gravitation to hear and
see from lofty perches. The day
that the building was turned over
to Sergeant-at-Arms William +.
Stone, hundreds of men were set to
work under direction of an architect
who had designed the seating ar.
rangement and the work begun on
the necessary changes and construc-
ton. Everything will be in readi-
ness, it is said, by June IA, with the
windrows of seats filing the main
floor and the balcony. The new ar
