umphal bridge on the Esplanade des

grounds will be monumental arches.
Archftectuarally, the exposition Will
have a more permanent character than
has hitherto been impaired to these
affairs. Many of the buildings are de-
signed to remain permanently. espe-
cially the structure ambitiously desig-
mated as the electrical palace. The
archaeological reservations are like

penditures of the French nation. The
ambitious republic has to-day. the
greatest national debt on earth-the
biggest, indeed, ever accumulated in
the history OF the world-but IL has not
hesitated 10 increase 1t in the interest

these commodities in the United States
see a very fine opening in this direc-
ton, and in return for our friendly in
terest the French government has
promised to reduce the duties on our
mechanical products to a most appre-
ciable extent. American agriculture is
equally DESTROYS of representation, and
California in particular has arranged
to be superbly represented. Not only
that, but the French government has
taken special pains to have large
cotton exhibit from our southern
states. Cotton in the raw state has
become an important article in France,
and the government of that country
intends TO offer very large prizes for
fine American exhibits of that staple.
Ambassador Eustis has received the
warm thanks of the French govern
ment for the pains he has taken to
impress the people of this country with
the importance of the exposition. Mr..
Eustis has done his best to create a
feeling i'm the senate favorable to the
undertaking. and to aid the contem-
plated million-dollar appropriation.
There have been some objections to an
appropriation of so large a sum, but

ers need to be encouraged before they

compliment.

on. Everything about the grounds will

of alternating yellow and blue and red.

president of the United States. There
is nothing in the constitution to pre-
vent such pilgrimage, but OF course
legislation by congress would be neces-
sary in the way of appropriations, and
so forth. 1t would be an unprecedent-
ed thing for our president to do, but
the French are very sure that they
can bring IT about. AS all the world
knows, Emperor William has an
nounced his intention of visiting Paris
in 1900 to see the exposition. If the
president went, too. the great enter
prise would be ever memorable in
American annals.
The French are beginning to wonder
what effect a European war would
have on the vast undertaking. 1t
would certainly prove disastrous TO the
exposition. 1t is difficult 10 imagine
such an affair prospecting with war
raging on the Continent. France has
invested such enormous sums in the
scheme. and has such vast interests at
stake, that she is likely to be an advo-
cate Of peace until 1900 is off her
hands.
II would be invidious to make COM
parsons and draw a contrasted picture
of Chicago in 1898 and Paris in 1900.
The two undertakings are quite differ
ent in execution. IL is expected that
Paris will draw more visitors than
Chicago could. The influx of visitors
TO France from America will be enor-

II is enormous during any year. but

ready begun to prepare for II. Two
new steamers are now being bid for
by contractors to take the water in

OF the companies will be easily dou-
bled.
The question suggests itself: What
good will the exposition do us? The
answer is that IL we avail ourselves of
the Inducements offered by the French
government. the advantages viii be
enormous. We have a chance Of vastly
increasing our exports to the French
republic and Of extending the market
for our manufactured goods there. Our

of admiration. The delicate Venus

of glass sponges, and is rightly regard
ed as a wonder by all who have had
the privilege of owning or viewing
them. This curious Flower basket" is
found in the deep sea near the Phil
lippine islands and in no other place
in the world in numbers sufficient to
make fishing for them a profitable in
dustry. This species of sponge looks
like delicate threads of glass woven
into a curious, beautiful and intricate
pattern, some specimens being of such
exquisite loneliness that one can
scarcely believe that ii is the simple
skeleton of a variety of sponge. This
sponge is composed to an immense ag-
gregation of minute "spicules," run
ming lengthwise from end to end. with
numerous cross bands at right angles.
These bands and cross bands are set
with numerous five, six. nine and II
pointed spicules, some of them filled
with dozens of holes, which can only
be seen with a microscope, because
they are so exceedingly fine.

THE HOUSE AND CUBA.

The house of representatives did
not wait until today, as intended
last week, before voting on the
Cuban resolution, nor did it have
it the final clause, virtually pledg
ing itself to the support Of the pres
ident, whatever he might see tit to
do The vote was taken yesterday
with thht clause stricken out, and
the resolution passed by vote of
268 yeas to Il nays.
Thus congress, both branches,
must be set down as practically
unanimous for recognizing the
belligerent rights Of Cuba. The
senate resolution contained a clause
directing the president to use his
good offices with Spain to secure
the recognition of Cuban independ
ence. The house resolution CON
tanned no such provision and Mr.
Hit distinctly disapproved of it,
and he is probably right in insist
ing that since our proposition is
that Cuba is entitled to recognition
as belligerents we should confne
ourselves to that point. That is
really what the country is now in a
mood to stand by, neither more nor
less.
Spain has no just cause of com
plant if the president proceeds at
once to issue the proclamation of
neutrality which involves the recog-
milton of the uprising as war and
the insurgents as soldiers, not ban
dts. Spain recognized the South
ern Confederacy before the battle
of Bull Run had been fought or the
south achieved any real victory.
There had been little fighting, but
none of any Importance or magni-
tude. We have been very much
slower in recognizing the belliger-
ents in Cuba than the Spanish gov
eminent was in recognizing the
belligerents in the Confederacy.
We never complained of the action
of Spain, and that government has
no cause of complaint against us.
No doubt the riotous attacks up

METHODS OF ASSESSMENT

County Assessor John Phillips
and deputy are at work preparing
the plats, blanks and other supplies
to be used by field deputies IN MAX
ing the 1896 assessment. In ac-
cordance with a law passed by the
last Legislature there will be no as
sessment of real property this year,
except such as has not previously
been assessed. The method of as
sessing personal property will de-
viate somewhat from previous
years inasmuch as a special deputy
will be employed to assess banks
and another to assess merchandise.
In this manner a more uniform
assessment will be secured. The
method will also be benefit to the
county, financially, as the employ
ment of men who are well acquaint-
ed with the value of bank stock
and merchandise will insure the
assessment of bankin and mercan-
tile institutions at their full and
true value, a consummation that
