The war seems to have turned all
attention away from the Omaha EX
position. but were it not for the grea-
ter interest, the Exposition would be
filling large place in the public eye.
The total cost of laying out the
grounds and erecting the buildings
has been upward of ST. 100000, and it
is estimated that some 100000 peo-
pie will visit it from its commence
ment, June list, to its close, Novem-
Der list. The Hawaiian exhibit will
be little late in reaching Omaha,
but the great rush of visitors will
come during August and September,
so that there will be ample opportu-
nifty for the display of what has been

he could not be assured that he would
be received with the honors due to his
rank.
re re Chinese are intensely wrapped
up in etiquette, and they are ever
ready to gain what to them means so
much by any trckery possible, Thus,
when Lord Mccartney won the right
of presenting his credentials to the
Emperor of China without making the
Kow tow, the Chinese went him one
better by painting in Chinese charact-
ers on the prov of the barge that took
him up and down the Peiho river,

"WE NEED HER."

The Argonaut, not satisfied with
having swung round on the annexa-
ton question, now howls loudly for
The occupation of the Islands. After
writing reams about the rights of the
various people here, it throws down
the gauntlet in this fashion; "lf we
annex Hawaii now, we will annex her
under our own conditions and on our
own terms. We will make of her a
colony, a territory, dependency, a
province, or what we will. If we an
mex her we will govern her as we
choose. and if she does not like an
nexation under these conditions, we
will take her anyway, because we are
strong and she is weak, and we need
her"
And this is the paper that only a
short year ago was one of the hui-
warlls of the anti-anneXationists, and
it's sayings used to be quoted ICON
amore" by the royalist section Of the
community, and its sentiments ap'
proved. The exact political morality
of the change might be called in
question, but there is no question
about the rabid style in which it j:
written. 1t DOCKS as if by loud shout
