JAPAN's DEMAND OF HAWAII.
Payment of the Claim Not Advised
by This Government.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The officials here
know nothing of any attempt of our gov
ernment to advise Hawaii to pay immedi-
ately to Japan without waiting on arbi-
traticn, the sum of money claimed by
Japan on account of the turning back from
Honolulu of japanese laborers last spring.
On the contrary, the department of state,
it is said, has carefully refrained from in
terfering by suggestion or otherwise be
tween Hawaii and Japan in the settlement
of the matter at issue and there is no
reason now to expect a change of course.
It is not understood here that the NAM
ing by Japan Of the sum of 100000 binds
Hawaii to pay that much 1t is merely
maximum limit, which rules of arbitra'
tion require. In regard to the theory that
the settlement of the claim is being pur-
posely delayed by Hawaii in order to
throw 1t on the United States after an
nexation shall have become an accom-
plished fact, it is said nothing could be
gained by such a course, since the pend
ing annexation treaty provides terms that
the United States shall not assume lia>
bility of exceeding 100000 on account of
annexation, and 1t is understood that there
nearly that amount.
When shown the Honolulu dispatch con-
corning the progress of the negotiations be-
tween Hawaii and Japan, Minister Hatch
of the former country tonight said he had
no advices confirmatory of any part of it.
He added that when he left Hawaii very
recently the indications were favorable to
the settlement of the dispute of arbitra-
tion, and he continued INSTEAD of Ha-
wallis seeking to postpone the adjustment
of the claim until after the question of an
neXation of Hawaii to the United States
is settled, the opposite is true. Hawaii
is anxious to present a clean slate to the
United States, but she cannot, of course,
allow her concern in that direction to lure
her into making concessions regarding Ja-
panese immigration in case the annexation
treaty should fall
Mr.. Hatch added that he had no knowl-
edge of any purpose on the part of the
United States to interfere in the Hawiian-
Japanese dispute, and he expressed the
opinion that ne would have been in pos
session of that information if such a
course had been decided upon.
Until annexation is accomplished" he
said, Hawaii must pursue her course as
an independent nation and it is not prob
able that the United States would advise
the Hawaiian government to adopt a pol
icy looking to the surrender of her right
to regulate immigration, a right which
the government of this country is con-
| stantly exercising"

PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION.
Directors of the Company Tell Me-
kinIey of Their Plans.

Washington, Nov. ga delegation, rep
resenting the officers and directors of the
pan-American Exposition Company, call
ed upon the President to-day and laid be-
fore him the plan of the exposition, which
is to me held at Lasalle, on the Niagara
river, during the summer of 1899. The
location of the exposition is historic, be-
ing the site where Chevalier Lasalle con-
structed the Clifton" the first vessel to
sail the great lakes. and in which he held
his famous exploration of the northwest
territory.
1t was stated to the President that the
object of the exposition was to promote
the export trade of the United States on
longitudinal lines, and supplement the
work that has been done by the govern
ment within the last ten yearse through
the international American conference,
the reciprocity treaties, the bureau of
American republics, the manufacturers
association and similar enterprises.
The final arrangements for the exposi-
ton have been completed and the work
will be commenced immedia tely. There
will be eight large buildings devoted to the
eight groups into which the exhibits will
be divided. The classification will follow
the same lines as at the Paris exposition
of 1889, and the worlds fair of 1893. 1t is
intended to be purely an American expo
sition.
President Mckinley expressed decided
interest in the plans for the exposition as
they We're described to hir71 He said he
appreciated it's Importance and would CO.
operate in every way possible to promote
its success He will send a special message
to congress on this subject shortly after
