Columbian Exposition Dedi-
cation.
The dedication ceremonies of
the Columbian Exposition were
held on October 25th and were
magnificent. The parade was ten
miles long and it is estimated that
100000 people witnessed the pa
geant. The military ball in the
evening was attended by 10000
PEOPLE, but the great event was the
edication of the building for Man
actures and Liberal Arts, which
overs thirty acres, and which
Turing the ceremonies contained
10000 people seated and $4,000
standing,-the largest gathering
under one roof in the history of
the world. Addresses were made
by President Morton, Chaun-
cey M. Depew, Secretary of State
Foster, Chief Justice Fuller, Henry
Watterson and others. Bishop
Fowler of California was chaplain.
1t is stated that 100000 people
visited the city to witness the GER
emonies.
WhaIey, the Tourist.
The Examiner has published a
statement to the effect that W. A.
Whaley has duped all his associ-
ates in the smuggling business, and
has fed to Yokohama. The sum
he is said to have made away with
is about $4,000, which shows, if
true, that there is no honor
among smugglers or thieves.
Whaley, according to the Exam
liner report, claimed to have
boundless influence with certain
high officials in the islands, but he
did not go so far as to name them.
He claimed that Chinaman In
Honolulu made over ST. 100000
while he was in the business. The
story that the Examiner tells OF
Whaley and his doings are remark
ably interesting, and the career Of
that noted freebooter is not made
meritorious by the fact that while
he was living in the lap of luxury
in Honolulu, his mother was and
is in want at Arcata, Cal.

The writer concludes as follows
"I trust this is the last time
shall trouble you with these two
penny concerns but until some
step is taken by the Three Power
I shall continue to report our scan
dals as they arise. Either what
write is false and 1 should be chas
tised as calumniator, or 1t is tru
and these officials are unfit TO
their position"
