RUSH THE NEWS TO HONOLULU

eminent II the Annexation Res
OlutiOns Pass the Senate.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Mr. Hatch, the
Hawaiian minister, spent some time in
conference with Mr.. Moore, acting secre-
tary of state, today, presumably with ref
erence to the method to be adopted of putt
ting into effect the provisions of the an
n~exation bill which is supposed to be APP
preaching final passage.
Owing to the heavy drafts made by the
government upon the steamship lines cross
ing the Pacific for troop transports the
means of communication between San Fran
cisco and Honolulu are now extremely ir-
regular and precarious. 1t is desirable that
the earliest possible notice of the approval
OF the annexation bill be conveyed to Ha-
wall, SO 1t is probable that failing the
presence in San Francisco of one of the
regular merchant steamers about to clear
for Honolulu the government will charter
some speedy vessel to hasten to Honolulu
with the official news.
One reason for making haste In this par
ticular is the fact that the Hawaiian cons
gress must ratify the provisions OF the an
nexation bill and as the present session
of the Hawaiian legislature will soon ex-
pire by Limitation II will be necessary TO
submit to all the delays occasioned by the

At the regular weekly meeting OF the
executive committee of the Council Bluffs
exposition association last night, President
Graham submitted a detailed report of the
Pottawattamie Wigwam, which showed that
the cost OF the construction had been some
thing under So, 900. The report was a very
satisfactory one inasmuch as 1t showed that
all bills up to date had been paid and that
the president still had on hand $3.50 with
which to meet the current expenses of run
ming the building. A resolution was adopted
thanking President Graham for the econom-
ical manner in which he had built the
wigwam.
Chairman Hess of the committee on ex-
hibits reported that there was still about
l,2OO feet of space available for exhibits
and his committee was authorized to dis
pose of 1t ON the best terms possible.
SO FAR outside of the subscriptions from
the county board of supervisors all the
money for the building of the wig has
been raised In Council Bluffs. The wigwam
is intended as a home at the exposition for
the people OF Pottawattamie county and at
the meeting last night the consensus of
opinion was that financial assistance for
the maintaining of the w1gwam during the
remaining four months of the exposition
should be forthcoming from the people of
the county. 1t was estimated that 1t would
take at least 5000 a month to meet the run
ming expenses OF keeping the wigwam open.

stimate that personal property will fall of
nearly $1,000 900 as compared with last year,
a very small part of which will be made up
by the increase in the value of real estate
on account of improvements. This. however,
Will not amount to much. The total person
atty valuation last year was about 500, COO, coo,
so that a falling off of 81, 600, 900 is not small.
This cannot be raised by the State Board
OF Review. The exact condition cannot be
known until the twelve counties missing
are reported, but If this estimate is reliable,
as 1t undoubtedly is, 1t will affect the rate
of state tax and will be a serious thing in
some counties, where the highest authorized
levies have been necessary to produce sufi
cient revenue.
