DAILY ADVERTISER AND HAWAII !
AN GAZETTE:
The widespread and intense in
terest aroused in Hawaii among
our most intelligent and thought
full people is, to say the least, phe-
nomenal. Never before have for
mer residents of Hawaii been piled
with searching questions about the
Paradise of the Pacific" as to-day.
The fact of former residence at
the Islands marks a man as the
object Of inquiry on every hand.
I speak OF this'as a matter of ex-
treme importance to you at this
stage Of the proceedings.
Let ne illustrate this by con-
crete example from this place and
eek uno disco omnes."
One Of the leading attorneys Of
our city came to me soon after the
startling announcement had been
made that Hawaii sought annex
alton to the United States, and
spent more than an hour in CONVEX
sation about the Islands. Not salts
fed, he came again and again, and
finally suspecting from the trend of
his questions that he was thinking
of new home, | asked him direct
" if such was his thought and he
promptly replied in substance
Eyes sir, if those Islands come un'
der our flag, l should seriously
, consider moving there. And | an
not alone in this matter. Hundred;
and thousands would entertain the
idea under those conditions wh(
would care nothing about Hawai-
as a foreign country. | would no

Sheep for the Chicago EHhI0i-
We understand from the secretary
Of the New South Wales Commission
for the Chicago Exhibition that
arrangements for the representation
of sheep from this colony at Chicago
are now being completed. MIR. Bruce,
Chief Inspector of Stock, who has
been appointed to take charge Of the
wool and sheep exhibits, will leave
Sydney by the S. S. Mariposa for
Chicago. Mr.. Bruce will arrange for
the onarantining of sheep and for
their transport. According to the
regulations Of the Exhibition, the
sheep were to be shown in the month
of October with six months growth
of fleece on them, but it has been
pointed out to the local commission
that our merino sheep-just after the
stud show-would show to much
greater advantage il they are exhi-
bited with their feeces on. 1t has
been decided that our sheep shall
not be shorn, and therefore they will
not be eligible to enter into competl
ton with those sent from other coun
tries. It was originally intended tc
appoint an inspector to visit the
sheep intended for exhibition, but i
is now thought probable that thu
sheep will be sent to Sydney for exa
mination by the Live Stock Com
mittee Immediately before the open
ing of the metropolitan sheep show
: to be held in the month of July. L
is not proposed to forward more thai
= the maximum of 80 head to Chicago
and the number at present protfere'
is about so. They will be house
between the decks of the Union Con
pany's ships, leaving about th
