THE OMAHA EXPOSITION.
Special Attention WIFI be Given to
Scenic Effects.

Pronting by the experience of the Co
| lumbar Exposition, Omaha proposes
in the forthcoming Trans Mississippi
Exposition to pay especial attention to
scenic effect. The situation of the
grounds lends itself in a remarkable
way to such an endeavor. There is a
splendid plateau, covering 200 acres
breaking off sheer into the gorge which
constitutes the Valley of the Missouri
River. The outlook from the top OF
this bluff, which has been provided by
nature, is magnificent and inspiring be-
yOnd expression. Throughout a stretch
of a mile the visitor may stand and
with his eyes sweep that beautiful val
ley, with the bluffs of Iowa beyond, for
a great distance. At his feet the river
bank and stretching southwark the
busy outskirts of the city of Omaha are
seen. Beyond sweeps the majestic
river, laden with steamboats, and all
forms of passenger and freight craft
q typical Scene-While in the distance
are the marsh land bottoms, backed
! by the imposing mesas of the adjacent
State
But this is all natural and God given.
1t is to that which art is developing
the exposition grounds proper-that
the visitor will turn with chief interest.
The landscape gardening on what is
known as the bluff tract promises to
be most imposing. A vast quantity of
flowers, shrubs and trees will be set
out, so as to form a beautifully shaded
garden spot. There will be labyrinths,
graveled walks, the more conventional
geometric flower beds, hedge rows and
lovers hooks, all in such profusion and
with such a wealth of verdure that one
may walk by the hour in the serene
belief that he is far from the madden
ing crowd in the fastness of nature it
self.
In sharp contrast will be the court
of honor, over the way. Here the long
lagoon, dotted by lazy gondolas, weav-
ing in and out under the graceful
arches of the bridges, the picturesque
fountains playing in the bright sun
light, the walled sides of the water,
f1anked by the greenest of grass plats,
with here and there a pedestaled Apollo
or laughing faun, a Bacchus, or the
struggling LAGOON, or the classic fig
ure of the Venus de Medici backed by
the imposing line of stately buildings
and graceful arches and colonnades-all
these will make up a picture of amaz-
ing beauty and impressiveness.
1t will not be white City" The
artists have hit upon a color scheme
which will relieve the scene from the
hard glare Of monotonous concrete so
trying to the eyes at Chicago. The
buildings are to be done in neutral
tints of Pompeiian red and brown and
ochre. This is daring, and at first
thought would seem incongruous, but
careful tests have been made, and all
now agree that it will be a great i'm
provement. It will really be sugges-
tive of Sienna marble, and will be most
harmonious and effective This scene
on a June morning under the golden
sunlight and clear blue sky, or at night,
when picked out by myriad electric
lights, will surely be worth going far
to see.-Correspondence Washington

severe training can even the organized
militia be made equal to the demands Of
war We need a much larger army,
therefore, that in case it is engaged in
warfare we may not be deprived by
stress of battle of the most of the train
ed men we fit for the field. That might
| come to pass as things now are. It
would take but a short disastrous war
to so reduce our regular force that not
a corporaIs guard, so to speak, could
be mustered fit for the field.
The advance made in death-dealing
weapons now makes the soldiers ad-
venture tenfold more hazardous than in
the past. Where once an advancing
column was met with showers of bull

missiles In the face of all these con-
ditions, then, we need a much larger
| force of trained men who are given up
to never-ending drill, unceasing vigil
ance in instruction, implicit obedience
| to superior officers tireless practice
in the target field and all the other ex-
ercises and studies of the skilled sol
dier's life
| Lieutenant Duncan's paper is a strong
and a convincing one. There remains
/ open against it the one and only argu-
ment of fear that a standing army men
| aces liberty. But under free institu-
tions, where the army is not the tool of
prince or the creature of a king, that
need not be feared.

THE CASE OF THE SHIP PANAMA

| The taking of the Spanish steamer
| Panama, bound from Boston to Havana,
raises some pretty questions of inter
national law. The ship left prior to the
outbreak of war. She regularly cleared
for Havana and her clearance papers
amounted to a warrant to proceed to the
port Of destination. On arriving in front
of that port she found it blockaded by
the American squadron and was
promptly taken in charge.
| It is now claimed that she must be re-
leased and her cargo restored. But the
further claim is advanced that as she is
exempt from seizure because of the
| Presidents proclamation relating to
ships sailing prior to the blockade and
! before the war was on. she must be al
lowed to proceed to her destination, and
her cargo not be disturbed, even if it
| consists Of provisions for subsistence of
the enemy, it being conceded that goods
contraband and munitions Of war
should not 20 in.
| But the position is absurd. That she
may be freed is true, but that she shall
be allowed to pass the blockade line is
ridiculous. If any damage accrues to
her owners, and to shippers by her, this
! Government is able to answer when a
! decree awarding damages is entered.
But the idea that clearance papers
amount to a carte blanche to a ship of
the enemy to go into a blockaded port
is absurd. Civil process is suspended
| by act Of war when the process and the
necessity of war cross each other.
But in this case the ship was herself
within the category of munitions of
war. She was to be used as a reserve
cruiser by the Spanish Government. and
that makes her stoppage imperative,
and possibly may take her out of the ex-
cepted class and result in her condem-
nation. That is for the Prize Courts to
pass upon. and they will be at her case
in few days. But assuredly the claim
that she must be passed through the
blockade by reason of her clearance
papers being regular, and therefore
binding upon the party issuing them,
which in this case is the blockading
party. is untenable.
! To hold such claim good would be to
open the door to the enemy passing in
with information, aid and advices which
it might be of the very highest i'm
portance to us he should not receive.
and this though every thing contraband
of war was removed from her cargo,
and even if she herself was not liable to
| forfeiture because of her warlike char
acter concealed under her merchant
garb. We do not believe that it will
| ever be held that a ship clearing as
did the Panama, and one of her char
/ acter. owned by an enemy, presenting
at a blockaded port must be permitted
to pass such blockade Such claim is
not supported by reason If interna-
tional law has not such support, then
it viii be and should be ignored, and
! should be and will be modified.
