This country has had good deal of ex-
perience in getting up great iairs' Dut 'ho
chaotic conditO on OF the Exposition al new

spondent. Thous ands of packages from the
North arc blockaded on railroads when were
apnarently Imprepared to carry so much
freight. Goods expected from England have
NOT vet all been placed on the steamships at
Iivcrpool. and many articles from Mexico ana
Central America are behindhand in arriving.
Naturally. the show is not so attractive just
now As It will be later, and President Arthur
President piaz and everybody else who has
postponed visiting it for several weeks, nave
done a wise thing.
II is not probable anyway that the attendance
unon this fair will be much more than onc-thlid.

position. The country Immediately tributary tn
New Orleans is not so dcnscly populated nor so
rich as that lying within 500 miles of the City
of Brothcry Love. a certain patriotic cnthllsl-
asm and pride and degree of novelty attached
to our Centennial show, moreover when arr
lacking in the present instance.
II would be mistake. however, hastily to
assume that this winters exhibition will possess
little TO arouse public interest. ON the con
trary it promises to equal if II does not surpass
that held in Fairmount Park eight years ago, in
its revelation of tho industrial resources oi thi,
country; while the display of foreign products

Mexico nnd Central aud South America are con.
cclncd the representation will doubtless prove
even bcttor.
II has been pointed out in THE TRIBUNE nj
ready that tho chief advantage TO be derived
from this fair Is the extension Of this country y
commerce with those portions of tho continent
living south of the Rio Grande. Ncw-Oilcans

port our own Southern States will feel, II is To
be hoped, deeper interest in their industrial
development; and a marked educational advan-
tage TO leading men in many departments OF
business activity in the whole country ought to
be among the results of the exhibition inaugu-
rated to-day.

the text at this treaty given 10 the press. We
believe that Americans arc heartily ia favor of a
diplomatic policy that shall bo at once Vigorous
seil-respecIing and far sighted. hut they do
not want to have any back stairs cOmpaots or
mysterious intrigues. If the country is to be
committed to any new departure in foreign re-
latons or TO any emphatic realirmation Of tho
traditional Monroe Doctrine, it must be done In
broad daylight. The American people, as well
rs the House of Representatives, have right
to be consulted respecting this mysterious
treaty. The State Department has too many
secrets under seal at present, especially as q
new Administration is speedily TO come into
power.
The treaty with Spain recognizes the right OF
the House of Representatives to unite with the
Senate in carrying its provisions into effect.

A SINGULAR VISION THAT APPEAR
ED TO A DocToR.-Late on the
night OF Friday, December 2Sth,
DR.. Walter Bruce, Of Micanopy,
Fla, was awakened from a sound
sleep at his house by so strong
feeling that there was some my steri'
GUS presence in the room that he
got up and lighted lamp and look
ed all over the house, but finding
nothing unusual. he returned to
bed and apparently fell into a light
sleep IN which there appeared to
him a vision of his wife's brother,
R. NJ Stribling in deadly conflict,
in which he had his throat cut in a
most horrible maner, and was re-
moved 10 store near by, where he
was placed on a counter, and aher
the apparent loss Of time ne died
from the affect OF the wound. The
vision was so real that DIR. Bruce
could sleep no more, and when
morning dawned he went out, but
could not rid himself of the very
strong impression it had made npon
him. lie related the dream, as he
called it, TO several of his friends.
The next mail from Virginia brough
DIR. Bruce a letter announcing the
death OF lis brother in law in the
exact manner he had seen and at
The very hour it had appeared to
him in his vision. A sister OF the
