The Maklrt fl of Exposition Statuary. for Th the W &? ? f enlarging the statuar y lor the St. Louis Exposition is pro gressins rapidly under the direction o? Karl E !tte chief of the Depart^ XXT *’ ln the abandoned round-house of the Erie Railway in Hoboken, which is used as a studio. Formerly the sculptor modeled and eaUnely completed their own groups Afid figures, working at a great disad antage. But with newer methods, requiring only the conception of the idea in the form of a small model tne is not required to work upon his own statute. This has been made possible by the great improve ment in methods of enlargement The pointing-machine,” the invention ot a young Brooklyn sculptor, R. T. Paine, is employed in making the enlarged figure correspond precisely in proportion and outline to the clay model. Adjoining a plaster cast of this clay model is placed a framework of w-ood, which presents the general outlines of the figure or group to he reproduced. It is covered with plas ter ’until an outline resembling, in some degree, that of the model’has been attained. Then the pointing-machine is brought into play, it is a horizontal fin tube some eight feet in length, with smaller tubes or arms at each end terminating in points, and extend ing from it at right angles. The ma ■chine is operated upon a framework w’liloh has a sliding-scale measure ment. Upon the plaster model small black dots have been made about an inch apart. The point of the small ■arm of the machine is placed on one ■of these dots, and the point of the long arm is placed in a correspondent to it on the figure to be built up. Tfaite are driven in to mark these ■spots, and cement is put on to round •out the figure. Two men operate the machine. The figure is then brought to the stage where it may receive 'the finishing touches from the hands ■of an expert workman, who is him self a sculptor.—Elsie Reasoner, in Harper’s Weekly.

Malcontents o: Co'cmbia Ruse Flag cf Session and Proclaim Their independence. The independence of the isthmus of Panama, Colombia, was proclaimed at 6 p. m. Tuesday. A large and enthu siastic crowd of all political parties assembled and marched to the headq uarters of the government troops, where Generals Tovar and Amaya were imprisoned in the name of the re public of Panama. The enthusiasm was immense and at least 3,000 of the men in the gathering were armed. The battalion of Colombian troops at Panama favors the movement, which is also thought to meet with the approval of at least two of the government transports now- here. The following cablegram was re ceived at the navy department Tues- day night: "An uprising tocke place at Panama tonight, independence was proclaim ed. The Colombian army and navy officials were made prisoners. A gov ernment is to be organized consisting cf three consuls and a cabinet. It is rumored at Panama that a similar up fising was to take place at Colon.” Later the following official state ment was made regarding the news from Panama: “A number of confused and conflict ing dispatches have been received from the isthmus indicating rather se rious disturbances at Doth Panama and Colon The navy department has dis patched several vessels to these ports, with direction to do everything possi ble to .keep travel open and maintain order along the line of the railroad.” The sensational advices from the isthmus were not entirely unexpected in view of other advices that had come to the department very recently! Tbe reception of the news caused a sud den outburst of activity at the navy de partment and at once on President Roosevelt’s return from New York he was made acquainted with the situa tion. Secretary Hay, Assistant Secre tary Darling, Assistant Secretary Loomis and a number of others were summoned to the white house, and measures were taken at once for the protection of American interets at the isthmus.

Herrick republican, over Mayor Tom L. Johnson, democrat, by considerably over 100,000. The plurality on joint ballot of over 100 in the legislature for the re-election of Senator Hanna mere than trebles any xormer record. Sena tor Foraker had a record beaking ma jority of 35, on joint badot tor his re election two years ago and that ior Hanna this year is thrse times that number. Hanna succeeded John Sherman m die senate March 15, 1597, by appoint ment from Governor Bushnel, and when Senator Hanna was elected for the unexpired Sherman term and the full term of six years, ending March 5, 1905, he had only one majority after the most bitter contest that was ever waged in an Ohio legislature.
