It in cludes a working model of a gold placer mining outfit. A large amount of gold bearing dirt is at hand for demonstrat ing the whole process of panning out the gold, and at stated intervals the plant is put into operation. This exhibit is not surrounded with glass, and it is an amus ing sight to see people hunting over the sand and dirt for particles or appear ances of gold. i Near the north end of the forestry building are shown cross sections of trees from Oregon. There is a yellow fir log six feet in diameter. The yellow fir grows all over the Northwest Coast Range Mountains. It is of superior ex cellence for ship-building and spars. It ranges from two to ten feet in diameter. A cross section of a trunk of tide-land spruce is shown. It is nine feet nine inches in diameter. The butt was six teen feet in diameter, the tree being 305 feet high and 300 years old. Great slabs of noble fir, spruce, lovely fir and yellow fir are shown. Baron de Maraja, Commissioner from Brazil, and 8. Suwa, Secretary of the Jap anese Commission, have through O. 8. Whitmore, editor of Hardwood, offered forestry exhibits at the World's Fair to to the city of Chicago for a permanent museum. Said Mr. Whitmore the other night: " Both the collections are com plete and large, the former being one of the largest in the forestry building. Mr. Suwa's is large and exceptionally well arranged and perfectly classified. Dr. Niederlein, Commissioner from the Ar gentine Republic, and Dr. Hassler, Com missioner from Paraguay, both have splendid collections, which they have given me to understand they would pre sent to the city if they could be assured they would be appreciated and cared for as they deserve. No such collection of forest products has ever before been shown as is now in this exhibit, either from domestic or foreign sources. I have discussed the matter with others among foreign exhibitors, and am satisfied the bulk of the foreign exhibits can be se cured by the city. American exhibiters also are prepared to make handsome do nations. I think the Jessop collection can be secured and some other private collections. Dr. Charles Millspaugh, the botanist who has charge of the West Vir ginia collection, intimates that a large part of that exhibit can be secured. It is one of the finest shown, is complete and thoroughly classified. Kentucky, Oregon, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michi gan, Washington, Missouri and others have complete, well-arranged and well classified exhibits which they would gladly donate in whole or in part." NATIONAL CAPITAL. Senator Dolph has introduced a reso lution calling lor a report from the War Department of the Board of Engineers which examined the proposed improve ments at The Da1 lea. Senator Dolph thinks this ought to be before Congress so that early action may be had by the Oregon delegation. A brief prepared by Judge Advocate General Lemly of the navy on the re port of the court of inquiry that exam ined into the disgraceful condition of the cruiser Atlanta has been presented to Secretary Herbert for his consideration. It is said the brief contains evidence ad ditional to that given in the report, and a court-martial of the officers connected with the vessel will be ordered by Mr. Herbert. All the members of the administration took the greatest interest in the vote on the Wilson bill; Secretary Carlisle espe cially so. He received in his office in the Treasury Department official an nouncement of the several votes as soon as thev were flashed across the wires. When the first vote was received, which showed that free coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1 was beaten by 102 majority, ho said the majority was greater than he had anticipated, and that he would have been satisfied with sixty majority. At the conclusion of all the votes Secretary Carlisle stated that he was very much gratified at the result and felt that it would do much to restore public confi dence. He expressed tho hope that the Senate would take speedy action on the silver question. The Secretary added that the present stringency was not due to want of money, but to hoarding it and withdrawing it from business on ac count of this lack of confidence. It has been decided impracticable to let the tariff question go over to the reg ular session by adjourning Congress as soon as the silver question is settled ; so work on the tariff bill will soon begin.
