FOR A PARK.
The Selection of the Site Seems to
be the Only Trouble.

The question Of summer park has
been the talk of the business men this
week along our streets and all speak IN
the highest terms of the plan suggest
ed in last weeks Times. There is only
one feature that there is diverging
opinion on and that is the lot to make
it Of Many favor the school house lot
on Broadway but more favor the PARK
lots on. Washington Aye. Either we
think, will make suitable summer
park. but TO the business interests we
think the Washington Ave. lots will pc
the most convenient and suitable. From
the owners we learn that the lots can
be had and no rent demanded, SO we
can see no reason why the Knights o.
Pythias and city council can not get
together and let contracts for the nee
essary stands and benches to make IT,

RECENT COLD SNAP
AND OVERFLOW.

The recent cold spell has done much
damage to the planters in our delta.
On nearly every plantation around the
seed in the ground had to be plowed up
and replanted. Many have finished
replanting while others have not yet
started. There is little anxiety felt
over the coming rush Of water from
the rivers Of the North causing an over
flow here this spring. The gauge now
stands at II feet and this is within S6i
feet of the top of the levec. There has
been no rise in the last twenty-four
hours, but another rise is looked for
Monday, which will about week.

GROUND PLAN AGREED UPON.
Purchase Exposition Hns Been
Practically Agreed Upon.

st. Louis, Aug 27.-Director of
Works Isaac S. Taylor of the Louisi-
ana Purchase exposition, who re-
turned to ST. Louis from New York
Saturday night, says that the ground
plans are practically complete and
that no time will be lost in submit
ting them to the executive committee
for formal approval.
As soon as this has been done, to
each member of the commission will
be allotted one of the principal build
ngs to design, and the actual build
ing of the fair will have commenced.
THE plan upon which we have
agreed" said Mr.. Taylor, sis absolute
Iy novel, and will present to the visit
ors at the fair something which has
never been seen. All the members of
our commission believe that the
ground arrangement is greater and
more attractice than at any previous
exposition. 1t is absolutely novel,
and hackneyed features, such as a
court of honor, and uniform color
plan, have no part in it,
IN style lHe dItulltCluIt VI lhC
exposition will follow the Italian re-
naissance. There will be little or none
of the severe classic style in the prin-
cipal buildings. The trend of the plan
is to have artistically beautiful build
ings, so placed that each structure
will harmonize with its neighbor and
the landscape features near it, pro-
ducing an ensemble perfectly pleas
ing.
GAS soon as the principal buildings
are allotted to the architects who will
design them, work on the grounds
will commence. Within a few days
after the allotment the architects will
report on the exact space their struc-
lures will occupy. While they are
completing their plans in detail, the
work of grading and arranging of the
grounds will be in progress"

II Has Assumed a More Serious AS
pect Since the Concentration
On the Isthmus.
AGGRESSIVE ACTION is LOOKED FOR.
A Noticeable Feature IL the Actual
ana Moral support the Liberals
Are Receiving From Venezuela,
Ecuador and Nicaragua-CoIom
bia In Financial Straits.

Colon, Colombia, Aug. "a, via Kings
ton, Jamaica, Aug. 26.-The censor
ship prevents the transmission of po-
htical news or news unfavorable to
the government.
The revolt of the liberal Colombian
rebels, now two years old, lately as
sumed a more serious aspect by the
liberals concentrating on the isthmus.
1t is believed they are contemplating
aggressive action. Consequently un-
easiness prevails at Panama, the lib
eral objective, which was nearly cap
tured a year ago. 1t is not believed
the rebels will molest the railroad or
interrupt traffic. The recent rebel
raids along the railroad amounted to
bloodless raiding and the robbery of
Chinese storekeepers, which the pres
ence of few government troops
stopped. There is a report that the
government is bringing troops to pro-
tect the isthmus. This will be diff
cult, without exposing to rebel at
tacks the points whence they are
taken. The area of the revolt is ex-
tensive.
A Noticeable Feature.
A noticeable, distinguishing feature
of the revolution is the actual, moral
support the liberals are receiving
from Venezuela, Ecuador and Mica
ragua, in which countries liberal gov
ernments prevail. Colombia's govern
ment is not popular withrevolutionary
Il l. L
situation can be likened to a disrupted
federation, composed of Venezuela,
Ecuador, Colombia and Nicaragua, in
which liberal and conservative parti-
sans are helping each other and in
triguing together. But, being sepa-
rate nations, the political and armed
intrigues threaten international trou-
BILE.
Conservative Revolt In Venezuela.
1t is reported that the conservative
revolt in Venezuela against President
Castro is receiving active support
from the Colombian conservatives
Nicaragua's threatened revolution
will probably be similarly aided OF
the occasion arising. The conditions
give ground for the reports of actual
or threatened international complica-
tions between the countries men,
toned, in which the liberals are gen
orally opposed to Colombia's conserv-
ative administration, whose prophe-
sled downfall is accompanied by talk
of a federation or consolidation of
some or all of the countries men,
toned, under the idea of a Grand
Colombia"
The Colombian government is in
straits, financially, at present.
