Standing at the foot of the Administration building the visitor is thrilled by his surroundings, Ueside him in the main entrance is St. Gaudens' fine statue of Columbus.

In front of him is the wonderful McMonies fountain, and on either side of it the big fountains that throw up masses of electric-lighted water in thousands of tints at night. Keyond is the smooth basin, crowded with gondolas and launches. Further on is the hujre figure of the republic rising out of the water on a pedestal, with the peristyle as a background. To the left are the towers and recessed pilasters of Machinery Hall, the obelisk and the- small peristyle. The water that Hows in front of Machinery Hall divides it from the Agricultural building, whose florid capitals, masses of statuary and gilded dome, surmounted by our own Diana, add an indescribable richness to the general effect.

On the north side is the grand facade of the largest building in the world, whose thirty acres are devoted to manufactures and liberal arts. The walls of the building measure almost a mile, and the stupendous hinged arch spans the main floor at a height of ISO feet. Yet its fluted columns, triumphal arches and vast loggia have converted this architectural leviathan into a thing of beauty. From the roof of this huge building beams the biggest electric searchlight ever constructed. It has reflectors six feet in diameter and gives a light of 104,000,000 candle power.

It is asserted by those in charge of this light that people sixty miles away can easily read by the reflected illumination at night. Following the canal, which is span ned by graceful bridges, on which are life-sized sculptures of American ani- ma Is, one skirts the Electricity building. On tha other side of thi- is the Mining building, and still beyond is the monstrous Transportation building, the decorations of which alternately suggest a kaleidoscope of the bandwagon of a circus. A remarkable thing about the exposition is the number of interests ihat have been given separate representation. The Woman's building is an instance of this.

Education is illus-trated in a thousand forms. In fact, THE WOMAN'S this element is likely to bore the public. It is too elaborate. Almost every government has turned its educational department loose, and the result is a wilderness of charts, models, books and statistics that confuses and overwhelms the spectator, -'r Provision "has been made for the transportation of CO, 000 persons an hour to and from- the The elevated railway, the Illinois Central railway, the ordinary street cars and a fleet of steamboats have been organized into a complete system.

i territories and foreign governments. This is the social department and millions of dollars will be spent in the entertainment of visitors and in formal banquets. Going south are to be found three qnai ters of a mile of structures representing manufactures, machinery, electricity, mining, agriculture, horticulture, forestry and minor material interests, with buildings here and there representing woman, music and the government of the grounds. The third is the Midway Plaisance, dedicated to the oriental villages, dancing girls, balloons, bear pits, glass blowers, panoramas, barbaric theaters and everything that goes to make up the side show life of an. international exposition.

Here alone will the visitor be forced to pay extra. Outside of the Midway Plaisance everything is free after the general admission is paid, with the sole exception of the Esquimau village and the Cave of the CHIT Dwellers. It was the genius of Frederick L. Olmstead that turned the waters of Lake Michigan into lagoons, ponds, basins and canals with bridges and terraces to beautify the place. Every main building can be reached by water.

There are fifty electric launches and scores of gondolas oared by picturesque Venetians. It costs twenty-five cents a trip on the launches, and the gondolas can be employed at so much an hour. An intermural elevated electric railway penetrates to all parts of the grounds, and visitors can make their rounds with great rapidity if they do not care to walk. Around the great basin is grouped the formal architecture. At one end is the noble peristyle with its Corinthian columns, pierced in the middle by the great Columbian portal, on the top of which is a magnificent group, representing' a chariot drawn by four horses abreast.

Flanking this quadruja aye statues representing the states and territories. The peristyle connects the Music hall and Casino, where Theodore Thomas will storm the gates of heaven with harmony. On either side of the basin are the facades of the Agricultural building and the Manufactures and Liberal Arts building. The principal corners of the Electricity building and Machinery hall aro projected into this grand court of honor. Between them is the Ad ministration building, which serves as a vast vestibule.

The pomp and splendor of this structure are beyond description. Thia is the seat of government. In the four pavilions are the headquarters the director general, the for- Att Jt-ntjj- ot AVA, MO.

BURNED IN A BOARDING HOUSE Six Men Roasted Allre la nu Karljr Moraine Fire at Burlington, Iowa, Bi-rllngton, Iowa, May 1.

Very little rain' had fallen in Western Kansas barely enough to lay the dust up to 8 o'clock this morning, but just before noon it was raining at Great Bend and Garden City and Concordia and Wichita. The rain comes too late to save the wheat on thousands of acres in Central and Western Kansas. Some of the dealers here think that half the area has been killed out entirely and many of them think that Kansas can not now raise more than bushels of wheat. There are others, however, who have hopes yet for to 50,000,000 bushels. THE OKLAHOMA TORNADO.

Seventy-Five People Killed aad Over SCO Injured. Guthrie, April 28. Late reports from the tornado swept portions of the territory make it certain that the number of the killed exceeds seventy-five while over 200 persons were injured, many fatally.
