Large Wine Exhibit Destroyed.


The entire collection Of light wines
sent from New South Wales to the
Worlds Fair was frozen during the late
severe weather. and rendered useless for
exhibition purposes. This unpleasant an
nouncement was made to DR.. Arthur
Renwick, executive commissioner from
New South Wales. when he reached Jack
son Park The exhibits from that coun.
try were the first to reach Jackson Park
They came in during the period that Di-
rector General Davis force was shiver-
over coil Of steam pipes and wearing
fur coats In administration buildings to
keep from freezing. Although the in
stallation bureau was not ready to re-
ceive them, the exhibits were prompt y
transferred to the buildings. 1t does not
appear that the loss Of the wine can prop
erly be charged to the installation bu-
reau, DR.. Renwick says the cars were
left standing In the park a day or so, but
as they came across the country with
the blizzard, he believes the wine was
frozen In transit. Yesterday he cabled to
the authorities at Sydney. ordering them
to ask the wine growers to- duplicate the
collection at once.

AM IawhIIaa Sugnr Grower.

$. p Thompson, an American sugar
grower in Hawaii. passed through Chi
cago last week, staying q few hours at
the Palmer house. He was hurrying TO
San Francisco from whence he will sail
to Hawaii to look after his possessions
In the island without government. THE
overthrowal Of the Hawaiian queen Ia
the result of continued injustice to the
foreign and especially the American cap
italists who have in such O large mea-
sure contributed to the growing prosper
ity the island has enjoyed" said Mr.
Thompson. 1.-THE liberal minded Amerl-
cans have by their investments in Ha-
wall shown the people their possibility Of
hoped for prosperity, and consequently
have become popular with the educated
and more powerful class Of natives.
Theses people saw In the advent of the
American planters their deliverance from
drudgery and poverty, and naturally
made them their friends. They were anx-
ious to be like the people who owe no al
legiance to king or queen, but choose an
executive with limited powers from their
own number. They knew that 1t was pos
sible to become part OF this country
and were uneasy. The queen saw the
growth of this feeling and tried to check
In various ways. 1t was impossible and
the climax came when the queen at
tempted to promulgate a constitution that
would seriously abridge the rights Of for
eigners
"The United States should annex Ha-
wall. Its citizens are honest and indus
trious and would be SO thankful II taken
under the guardian wing of this country
that its principals and officers would
have the profound respect of the Hawaii
ans. who would support them in every
way possible"
