days articles have appeared in al
the Chicago papers regarding an
nexation, all or nearly so, for an

Under date of February 18th
Washington dispatches read thus
1t will be annexation sure enough
Only one power can now prevent
the Sandwich Islands becoming a
part of the United States, and that
is Congress. Unless Congress
offers obstinate opposition, Hawaii
will be a part of the United States
within three weeks.
In a recent edition of the Rich
mond Dispatch, the following no.
tice appeared: 1--WE are inclined
to think that the people of the
United States will never agree to
the establishment of dual pro-
tectorate over Hawaii. The whole
hog or none must be our motto. It
surely will not require the united
efforts of any two great nations to
! keep in order d population num-
bering less than a hundred thous-
and souls. Uncle Sam is able to
attend to this little matter himself.
He will put his foot down, if neces-
sary." By this you will see that
annexation is deemed advisable
and sure. So much said for topic
that could be followed ad libitum.
Bright Spring weather coming
with the the first day in the week,
has worked quite a change in
the outdoor appearance of Jack
son Park Fair Grounds. The
grounds were alive with men
and teams yesterday, who seemed
to have sprung out of the earth like
mushrooms. The landscape de-
partment made its first effort to
reach the gravelled walks be-
meath accumulated layers of ice. |
1t is estimated that by the middle !
of March will see at least 1900 |
men employed on the Fair grounds !
by the landscape and installation
departments. At the busiest time
last year, when construction was at
its height, the number never ex-
ceeded II 600.
Sixteen large cases have arrived
from the New South Wales Com
containing 500 photo
graphs, the least of which meas
ures 3!x45 feet. The framing of
the photos will cost the Commits
sion $4,000. The Australian Arts
will also be represented. The Arc
tic exhibit, which is now being
prepared by member of the Army
Board, viii certainly not rank as one
IF the minor features of the Fair.
A famous painter of Arctic scenes, |
Albert 0pert, of New York, has in
hand the preparation of a scenic
which is to show, with all |
he fidelity that realistic art can
afford, sublimely thrilling incl
lent in Arctic exploration-the

urthest point yet reached in the
advance toward the North Pole. It

The figures of the explorers will
