The Trnns-Mississippi Exposition

Formally Opened Yesterday.
Omaha, June 1.-The machinery of the
Trans Mississippi Exposition was started
today from the White House. The eXer-
cises of the day started at 10 o'clock,
with parade from the city to the Ex-
position Grounds. The pageant extended
over three miles. At least 200, 900 people
witnessed the parade. At a signal from
President Wattles, while the guests were
being seated, every band played Amer
lea The enthusiasm was intense. The
Rev. DIR. Nichols, of St. Louis, opened
the formal exercises with prayer
President Watfies then spoke briefly
and introduced Hon. ]. n. Baldwin, of
Council Bluffs, and Hon. ]. L. Webster,
Of Omaha, as orators of the day.
The history of the Mississippi! Ex-
position is the simple relation of a story
of Western enterprise and pluck The
idea was suggested to the -Missis-
sippi Congress held in Omaha in 1895. IT
met the immediate favor of the delegates
and William j. Bryan gave il impetus by
introducing a resolution requesting Con-
gress to make an appropriation to assist
in carrying out the enterprise. The reso-
luton was adopted unanimously
The Bryan resolution was followed al
most Immediately by the formation of the
ans-Mississippi and International Ex
position Association by prominent citi-
zens of Omaha
The exposition grounds are In the
northern part of the city, about fifteen
minutes from the business center. The
site is unusually attractive.

San Francisco, June 1.-Maj. Gen. Mer-
ritt and the members of his staff are buslly
engaged in arranging details for the de-
parture of the second expedition to Man
lila, and June 10 is the time set for it to
get away.
Considerable work yet remains to be
done on the ZealandIa Colon and China
and the Centennial and Ohio are only on
their way here from Seattle There is
considerable speculation In military cir
cIes as TO just what troops viii leave
with the next expedition, and who is to
command them.
The general order OF the First Brigade
is made of the Fourteenth Eighteenth
and Twenty-third United States Infantry
the Third United States Artillery (to john
and Fourth United States Cavalry Ito
ioins and one company of United States
Volunteers. 1t Is thought not unlikely
that second expedition win be made up
of these troops as Gen. Merritt prefers
! sending regular soldiers TO the Philippines
at present
There is no doubt that the Third Ar
tillery will be sent TO Manila, as an order
issued today by Gen. Merritt ordered 4

Local Candidates Strongly BACKED
But General Vote Light.

The election committee of the Columbia
Typographical Union completed the can
vass of the returns of the election for ma
tional officers, which has been in progress
the past two days, late yesterday after
noon. A very light vote was cast In this

large show that not more than two
thirds vote was polled.
Little interest developed in the contest
except in the cases OF local candidates.
Two delegates for the annual convention
of the American Federation of Labor were
chosen. Frank Morrison received 564 cut
of 1,046 votes east, and Shelby Smith re-
ceived 352. Edward Hirsh, of Baltimore.

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
Friends of the Movement VIII In
sisf ON n Vote.


Those senators and members who are
| Immediately following the passage of the
war revenue bin are reckoning without
their host. The friends of Hawaiian an
nexation in the Senate are freely making
the prediction that test shall be made
before any adjournment is permitted.
There viii be no further effort to put
Hawaiian annexation into the war bill,
but the attempt OF Mr. Lodge and the
summary manner in which the consider
alton of that subject was remanded to
secret legislative session has focused
the attention of the country upon Ii and
revived the demand for immediate action
There has been lining up OF forces and
as soon as the war bill is out of the road
the annexation resolution win be called
up. This Will be done. regardless of the
action of the House. II the Senate acts
and the House does not the RESPONSE
biltty must rest upon the Speaker.
Senators Lodge, Frye. Chandler. Davis.
Foraker. and Cullom all believe that when
annexation comes before the Senate on its
own merits, untrammeled by any other
measure, much of the opposition will dis
appear, and that after some lttle debate
I the resolution will prevail.
4 Speaker Reed. in the House. has almost
made up his mind to surrender on the
Hawaiian question. Not that he reIishes
4 defeat or that he is willing to yield. but
I that he must succumb TO the inevitable
/ lie has finally discovered that he has ar
rayed himself against fully three-fourths
of the Republican membership Of the

/ movement to demonstrate their strength

circulate written request to the Speaker.
asking him TO report special rule fixing
( date for consideration of the New
1 lands resolution. During the afternoon,
I Notwithstanding the absence of half the
/ members, more than one hundred sigma
/ tures were procured to this request
/ Mr. Reed has said repeatedly that he
4 would not resist the expressed will of a
majority of the Republicans. His hos
/ tility TO Hawaiian annexation this far
has been based on the plea that he did
not believe majority of his party desired
! it.
Before the end of the week the Speak
! er will be presented with written re-
quest signed by perhaps three-fourths of
the Republicans for a special rule to
consider the Newlands resolution. This
method will do away with the cumber-
some machinery of a caucus.

Commissioner Ross Resigns n
President of the Roard

ed his resignation as presiding officer of the
Board of Commissioners, and was sue
ceeded by Commissioner John B Wight
Commissioner Ross arose at the opening
of the meeting and formally moved the
election of Mr.. Wight as president of the
board. The motion was carried and Mr.
Wight made an informal reply, in which
he thanked his associates. He expressed
his admiration for the retiring president
and remarked that he was sure if he
followed in the steps of his predecessor
his actions would meet with general ap-
provai
Commissioner Ross letter OF resigna-
ton was as follows:
The organic act of the District of Columbia
provides that wherever a change occurs in the
personnel of the Board OF District Commissioner,
a choice OF presiding officer shall be made for
the succeeding term.
Although it has been the practice TO elect
as president the civilian commissioner afiliating
with the dominant political party, yet when the
late board was organized Commissioner Wight
gracefully declined the pToffered election. in
view of the fact that he had Just entered upon
the duties pertaining to the office of Com
missioner of the District. No such reason for his
decilnatiOD exists The accession today
to the board OF Engineer Commissioner Beach
affords most agreeable opportunity for a re-
newal Of the motion made by me in May, 1897.
for Commissioner Wight's election
After a service of more than five years with
five Boards of Commissioners as presiding officer
| wish TO express to all OF my associates. past
and present, my sincere gratitude for all OF the
honors received at their hands To the infIu-
entail press of the capital and to all OF tbe
generous people of the District OF Columbia. I

and forbearanee with which my efforts 10 serve
