Towns Badly Damaged in Ne braska, Iowa and Kansas. CYCLONES SWEEP THE WEST. J-ii - -, ijas; . 1 I THE WOHAN'S BUILDIICO. Among a great number of sketches submittal in competition for this building by women from all orer the lan J, the President of the Board of Lady Managers quickly discovered in the sketch submitted by Miss Sophia Q. Hayden that harmony of grouping ana tracefuln ess of details which indicate the architectural scholar, and to her was awarded the first prizsofa thousand dollars, ana aiso Zh execution of the design , . . . , , ! Directly in front of the building the lagoon takes the form of a bay, about 4)9 feet in width. From tb.3 centre of this bay a grana landing and staircase leads to a terrace six feet abore the water. Crossing thi3 terrace other staircases give accsss to the ground four feet above, on which. aboutlOO feet back, the building is situated. The first terrace is desizned in artistic flower beds and low hrubs. The principal facade has an extreme length of 400 teet, the depth of the building being half this distance, italian renaissance is the style selected. ... - The first story is raised about ten feet from the ground line, and a wide staircase leads to the centre pavilioa. l his pari uon. iorm Ing the main triple-arched entrance, with an open colonnade in the second story, is finished with a low pediment enriched with a highly elaborate bas-relief . The corner pavilions have each an open colonnade added above the main cornice. Here are located the Hang ing Gardens. , ... A lobby 40 feet wide leads into the open rotunda, 70x61 feet, reaching through the height of the building, and protected by a richly ornamented skylight. This rotunda is surrounded by a two-story opan arcade, as delicate and chaste in design as the exterior, the -whole having a thoroughly Italian courtyard effect, admitting abundanca of light to ail rooms facinx this interior space. On the first floor are located, on the left hand, a model hospital; on the right, a model kindergarten, each occupying 80x60 feet. The whole floor of the south pavilion is devoted to the retrospective exhibit; the one on the north to reform work and charity organ isation. Each of these floors is 80x203. The curtain opposite the main front contains the Library, Bureau of Information, records, etc. In the second story are located ladies' parlors, committee -rooms and dressing-rooms, all leading to the opsn balcony in front. The whole second floor of the north pavilion incloses the great assembly-room and club-room. The first of these is provided with an elevated Btage for the accommodation of speakers. The south pavilion contains the moiel kitchen, refreshment rooms, reception rooms, etc. The building is encased with ''staff," the same material usai on tha re3t of the buildings, and as it stands with its mellow, de corated walls bathed in the bright sunshine, the women of the country are justly proud of the result, . ,r, ri Z - . .. np 1 hi n m Miwmmm' i tsbt "namrwi nm in 1 xaizvwym Tl i A "' THE DAIRY BUILDIX8. The Dairy Building, by reason of the exceptionally novel and interesting exhibits it will contain, is quite sure to be regarded with frreat faor by World's Fair visitors in genera), while by agriculturists it will be consi uerei one of tde most useful and attractive features of the whole Exposition. It was designed to contain not only a complete exhibit ol dairy products but also a Dairy School, in connection with which will be conducted a series of tests for determining the relative merits of different breeds of dairy cattle as milk and butter producers. The building stands near the lake shore in the southeastern part of the park, and close by the general live stock exhibit. It covers apprc xmiateiy hair an acre, measuring 95x200 teet, is two stories high and cost $30,000. "In design it is of quiet exterior. On the firtt tie or, tesides cfHce headquarter?, there is in front a large open space devoted to exhibits of butter, and farther back an oper aung room 25x100 leer, in which the Model Dairy will be conducted. On two sides of this room are amphitheatre seats capable of accommodating 400 spectator?-. Under these seats are refrigerators and cold storage rooms for the care of the dairy products. The operating-roam, which extends to the roof, has on three sides a gallery where the cheese exhibits wiil be placed. The rest of the second story is devoted to a caie, which opens on a balcony overlooking the lake. f THE FORESTRY BUIL.DIXO. The Forestry Building is in appearance the most unique of all the Exposition structures. Its dimensions are 200 by !500 feet. To remarkable degree its architecture is of the rustic order. On all four sides of the building is a veranda, supporting the roof of which is a colonnade consisting of a series of columns composed of three tres-truaks each 25 feet in length, one of them from 16 "to 20 inches in diameter and the others smaller. All of these trunks are left in their natural state, with bark undisturbed. They are contributed by the different States and Territories of the Union and by foreign countries, each furnishing specimens of its most characteristic trees. The sidesof the building are constructed of slabs with the bark removed. The window frames are treated in the same rustic manner as is the rest of the building. The main entrances are elaborately finished in different kinds of wood, the material and workmanship being contributed by several prominent lumber associations. Th ) roof is thatched with tan and other barks. The visitor can make no mistake as to kinds of tree-trunks which form the colonnade, for he will see upon each a tablet upon which is inscribed the common and scientific name, the State or country from which the trunk was contributed, and other pertinent informarion, such as the approxi mate quantity of such timber in the region whence it came. Surmounting tha cornice of the veranda and extending all around the building are numerous flagstaffs bearing the colors, coats of arms, etc., of the Nations and States represented in the exhibits inside. THE TRANSPORTATION BXTTLDINO. The main entrance to the Transportation Building consists of an immense single arch enriched to an extraordinary degree with carvings, bas-reliefs and mural painting?, the entire feature forming a rich and beautiful, yet qu.er, color climax, font is treated in iear and is called the Golden Door. . . , , The remainder of the architectural composition falls into a Just relation of contrast with the highly wrought entrance, and is amy cruiet and modest, though very broad in treatment. It consists of a continuous arcade with subordinated colonnade and entablature. Numerous minor entrances are from time to time pierced in the walls, and with them are grouped terraces, seats, drinking fountains and statues. ... ,. . . The interior of the building is treated much after the manner of a Roman basilica, with broad nave and aisles, ane root is inere f ore in three divisions. The middle one rises much higher than the others, and its walls ara pierced to form a beautiful arcaaed clear story. The cupola, placed exactly in the center of the building and rising 165 feet above the ground, is reached by eight e evators. These elevators of themselves naturally form a part of the Transportation exhibit, and as they also carry passengers to galleries at -various stages of height, a fine view of the interior of the building may easily be obtained. The main galleries of this building, because of the abundant elevator facilities, prove quite accessible to visitors. " Q The main building of the Transportation exhibit measures 960 feet front by 250 feet deep. From this extends westward to sronfy Island avenue an enormous annex, covering about nine acres. This is one story only in height. In it may be seen the more bu usy exhibits. Along the central avenue or nave the visitor may see facing each other scores of locomotive engines, highly polished, and rendering the perspective effect of the nave both exceedingly novel and striking. Add to the effect of the exhibits thearchitecturai impression given by a long vista of richly ornamented colonnade, and it may easily b seen that the interior of the Transportation Building is one of the most impressive of the Exposition. , The Transportation exhibits naturally includes everything, of whatsoever name or sort, devoted to the purposaxf transportaticn, and range from a baby carriage to a mogul engine, from a cash conveyor to a balloon or carrier pigeon. Technically this exhibit inciuies everything comprised in class G of the official classification. The Transportation Building cost about $300, COO. One of the most disasircu; stDrm-? in th history of the Missouri Valley pas?e i east ward through Nebraska an! low la:-1 a few afternoons ago, carrying deata and destruc tion in its path.

Mrs Harry Ellic e.nd two children vrere blown from the doorway some distance ict tae prairie. The mother was kiliel and the two children fatally injureJ. Many other po Dle in the town were injurea bv the flvius debris, and nearly all of the? houses were more or less damaged. The inhabitants reported the torna lo cir rying witn it many articles of household furniture aad pieces of houses, indicating that some towns further west suffared in a greater or less degree. For a hundred miles the tornado passe i down a valley occupied by farmhousss. The damage in this district was great. When the storm crossed tha Missouri River it struck the town of Akron. Iowa, on the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Road, which has a population of about 100 J people. It was devastated by the tor nado. It oegan to grow dark in the town, and in half an hour it was necissarv to have lights. About 6 o'clock the storm struck the p'ace with scarcely a miuu .e's warning. It was a regular wh rlwini. Ssvera. men and one woman wera killed. Houses were thrown from their foun la tions and overturned, and many of tnem blown to pieces A double-span wagon bridge across the Sioux River was wrencaed from the piers and dashsd against the river bank. The iron rods were twisted and bent. A large elevator was demolished!, and the debris carried across the railroad tracks to where a lumber yard was and deposited, while the lumber yard and buildings were carried back and deposited wh ere the eleva tor stood. Cars loaded with stone that were standing on the railroad tracks were picked up by the wind and turned completely over. Nearly every building in the town was more or less damaged. Many roofs were blown off and carried far from the houses. The storm then moyed to the southwest, from Akron to Westfield. Farmhouses and barns, which were in the path o? the storm, were either wholly demolished or badly damaged. From Westfield the storm crossed over the Missouri River into Nebraska, where it gradually subsided. A very severe electric storm, accompanied by a heavy fall of rain, swept over central Illinois. A cloudburst in Centralia, III., caused the entire city to be submerged, do ing thousands of dollars' damage?. St. Louis, Mo., was also visited by a terrific cloudburst, which was accompanied by a wind of nearly the proportions of a tornado. Kansas City, Mo , was visited by one of the heaviest ram aa 1 hail storms kuo vu for year?. The hail stones were as large as hen's eggs. The hail lasted abouo five minutes, and was followed by a heavy fall of rain. The storm was reported to have been un usually heavy throughout Kansas, especially along the Santa Fe Railroad. A number of small bridges were washed our, delaying trains. OUTRAGE IN PERU. United States Consulate Invaded and Consular Agent Sliot.

Whether the outrage complained of oc curred at one of these sma'der places or at Callao no one at the Department could de termine from the telegram, ut inasmuch as it came from Lima, the impression pre vailed that the scene of the outr age was one of the interior points. After consultation with President Cleve land, Secretary Gresham sent the following telegram to the Minister : "Department of State, ''Washington, 189-3. "Hk-ks, Minister, Limn.
