Plans for the building to be erected by Russia at the Louisiana Purchase exposition have Just been received by Director of Works Taylor. The Russian pavilion will stand directly opposite the Chinese pagodas and east of the hlpped-roo- f structure erected by Sweden, and the plans and drawings show that it will add much to the plcturesqueneos of the section of foreign buildings. The pavilion Is to be of distinctive Russian architecture and will cover an area of nearly 80,000 square feet There will be no less than three towers or spires of peculiar Bysantlne design, the tallest rising to a height of 128 feet above the ground. The building Is rambling In design. It will comprise the main structure and a number of minor structures connected by an arcaded walk. Each of the towers will be of different design. The highest one, surmounting the main building, will consist of an overhanging battlement-e- d cornice capped by a hexagonal tower. ft Grading and Tracklaying Are Proceeding Rapidly From Both Ends of the Line. Work on the Ban Pedro, Los Angeles Salt Lake is being pushed with vim from both ends of the line, says the Deseret News. Reports from Callentes state that graders are now working seventy-seve- n miles out of Callentes with about fifty miles of grade completed. This work which is finished, however, Is not consecutive track and there are yet many gaps to be closed up. To date there have been sixteen miles of track laid, but the gangs are temporarily held up owing to a rock cut which yet remains unfinished in the Meadow Valley .wash. The contractors, however, have agreed to build a temporary track around this cut so that the operation of tracklaying mny not be delayed. By January 10th it is anticipated that there will be about miles of track laid. twenty-fiv- e At the California end of the line Norton & Co are pushing operations, but are temporarily delayed by a short tunnel which is now being driven. About the second week In September the construction company commenced work on its part of the contract which calls for the completion of the line to the Nevada state line. The rails are now laid as far as Daggett, a distance of thirty-fou- r miles, and thf necessary buildings, such as roundhouses, etcH are in progress of construction. The forces of Norton & Co. are to be reinforced by the company which built the Chatsworth tunnel for the Southern Pacific and the work will be rapidly pushed through to the line. It Is anticipated that the contract for the closing up of the 100 mile gap between the Daggett and the Callentes extensions will be let in the near future. SOCIALIST MEETING.

Craft of the dimensions required could hardly be built in the United States and sent across the ocean under their own steam or even in two. It was decided to build boats in sections so that they could be constructed of metal In this country and shipped readily on the deck of a transport or other means to the point of destination. Bids for such boats were asked for and the builder left to work out his own designa The offer of shipbuilding firm at Morris Heights, New Jersey, was accepted and the boats have been constructed and are ready for service. The vessel is' 80 feet long, 18 feet beam and draws 8 feet 6 Inches, the light draft being necessary for disembarking men, etc In shoal waters. The vessel is built entirely of steel, the of an Inch plating being thick, and each section has a steel deck and is water tight. The bow section of the boat carries the derrick and anchor, with chain and storage lockers Inside; the second section contains the crews' quarters, and will accommodate twenty men If required, and also serves as a hold for cargo. The third section contains the boilers, coal bunkfs and part of the water supply, the coal capacity being thirteen tons. On top of this third section is the portable pilot house, with or without which the vessel can be operated. The fourth section contains the motive power that Is, the two engines, for the boat is twin screw and the shafts and propellers. The engines are compound, capable of driving the boat at a speed of ten miles per hour. The fifth section composes the oval counter or stern, which may or may not be used.
