Assistant Secretary of War Melklejohn
spent the day In the company of President
Wattles and Major Clarkson of the Exposi
tion Executive department , making a trip
to the exposition grounds and to the site ot
old Tort Omaha. Mr. Melklejohn expressed
the greatest pleasure and tmrprlso at the
magnificent enowlng made by the exposition
grounds and It seemed to increase his al
ready strong Interest In the progress of the
enterprise. He said the old fort grounds
will bo turned over to ( he exposition au
thorities , together with the buildings on the
grounds , excepting the 'buildings ' which have
been leased to Prof. Olllcsple for a flchool.
These grounds will be utilized as a camp
ground for the troops of the Department of
Missouri , which will be ordered to Omaha
In small detachments of one or two regi
ments to camp during the exposition , Mr.
Melklejohn salJ he would do all In his power
to aid in carrying out this plan and ex
pressed the greatest confidence In the suc
cess of the movement. The space Inside the
exposition grounds which will be used as a
drill ground for the troops was pointed out
to the secretary and he manifested great
Interest concerning everything connected
with the matter.
Durlcig this rldo Mr. Melklejohn dlscusaed
with President Wattlis tnd Major Clarkson
a plan for bringing to the exposition the
West Point cadets , the magnificent military
organization from the great school main
tained by the federal government for the
education of young men In the art of war.
The assistant secretary said ho had been
considering this Idea for some time , and
Intends to lay It before the secretary of war
with his recommendation that It bo carried
out. The West Point cadets ore rarely or
dered for duty away from the military
academy , and there are very few precedents
for the proposed action. The cadets at
tended the CoUecalal exposition at Phila
delphia , and were encamped Inside the expo ,
altlon grounds for several weeks , but such
Instancw are very rare , and If the plan of
Secretary Melklejohn Is carried out the ca
dets will provo a strong attraction. They
constitute oao of the best drilled military
In the world and their
organizations > , pres
ence at the exposition , In addition to the
strong force of regulars , would constitute
an attraction seldom eccn. Mr. Melklejohn
expressed a flrm conviction that Secretary
Alger will approve of this move and the
exposition authorities consider It practically
settled. i

Dominion Government Will Aid III
the niioNltl < tn Work.
British Vlco Consul M. A. Hall of this city ,
who went to Canada as the special repre
sentative of the exposition management to
Induce the Canadian government to recon-
Ider lie determination not to make an ex
hibit at the exposition , has returned and re
ports that hia mission was very successful
and that the Canadian exhibit In Intcrna-
lonal hall will bo a very creditable showing.
Mr. Hall visited Ottawa and had Interviews
with all of the leading officials in the do
minion government and with tbo most In-
lucnttal members of the Dominion parlla
mcnt. Ho encountered very llttlo encour
agement at first , the officials politely In-
'ormlng him that the matter had been dis
osed of and no exhibit would bo made , but
by < llnt of persistent effort ho succeeded
n having the subject reopened and an appro
priation was made for an exhibit. The
Canadian government will occupy about 4,000
square feet of space In International hall
and will make a collective exhibit , showing
minerals , agricultural products and manu
factured goods.
The Canadian Pacific , railroad will cooperate
ate with the government. In this connection ,
the Canadian Gazette , the official organ of
the government , In Its Issue of March 12 ,
prints the full text of the diplomatic corre
spondence , carrying with It the Invitation of
the exposition officials to the queen and her
colonies to participate In the exposition.
The Invitation of President Wattles , the let
ter of Minister John Hay transmitting It to
the marquis of Salisbury , and the'letter of
transmlttal to the governor general of Can
ada , are printed In full together with the
regulations of the United States Treasury de
partment regulating the entry of foreign ex
hibits. This matter occupied three pages of
the Gazette and U a formal notice to all
the Inhabitants of Canada that the govern
ment glvea Ita official sanction to the ex
position ,

President Wattles feels greatly elated over
the effect a visit to the exposition groundo

mlsalcti. Just prior to the arrival ot the
sleeping car magnate In this city a letter
had been received from him , In which bo
stated that he could not find the time to
give a great deal of attention to the ex
position matter and had accepted the ap
pointment as a commlKslonir with that un
derstanding , but after a vlfilt to the grounds
and an Inspection of the beautiful building ,
Dr. Webb expressed himself In the very
strongest terms to President Wattles , who
accompanied him on the trip , and declared
In unqualified terms that the exposition was
far superior to tbo World's Fair. He reIterated -
Iterated his , astculshment at the wondera
which had been accomplished by western
enterprise and declared most emphatically
that he would make It his especial business ,
upon his return to New York , to urge upon
Governor Dlack and upon the legislature
of the state the absolute necessity of prompt
and liberal action In order to enable the
state to be fitly represented.
Dr. Webb also said ho would eee to it
that the Wagner Palace Car company makca

.AMUSEMENTS.
The small army of youngsters from the do
main of Franz Josef which has como over
.o conquer America by force of harmony ,
gave an Invitation concert at Boyd's yester
day afternoon and a regular performance at
night. The music lovers of Omaha and this
applies not only to the critics and the pro
fessional musicians , but to all whose souls
are attuned In any degree to the concourse
of sweet BJUDJs should really not miss hear
ing at least one ot these remarkable con
certs. Nothing Hke the proficiency and on-
thuslarm of these lads has ever been seen
hero and the muslo they make Is ot a kind
which everybody can appreciate and enjoy.
It would be unfair as well as unwise to com
pare this band of children with any ono of
the well known organizations made up of
adults , but It takes a very good band of
grown-ups Indeed to play In the eime class
with' It ami it miy bo doubted whether
Sou a's would do half as well If It were
composed of members of the same age.
There will be another concert tonight and
two tomorrow. The boys deserve the most
generous patronage and will doubtless rc-
celvo It.
