TIL: STATE FAIR.


The 10th annual State fair is now
less than three weeks away. Secretary
Hanrahan says that the idea OF hold
ing the annual exposition early in Oc-
tober has met with universal favor
among the exhibitors, fact that il
proved by the added number OF entries
in all departments being received this
year.
Entries TO considerable extent
tell the story OF what a fair like ours
is going 10 be-" said he this morning.
IF the exhibitors send in their lists
early. thus showing a lively interest
in the coming event, IL is safe to reck IN
on large number Of entries before thu
time limit Us exhausted. This is tina
case TINS year. For days past our mail
box has been loaded with entries morn
ing, noon and night. At the park the
entry office has peen doing a tremen-
dous business. and we estimate that
the various exhibition departments are
better filled today, three weeks before
the fair opens, than they were before
on opening days. In this connection Il.
is an interesting fact 10 record that
the number of new exhibitors is untie
cedentedly large this season. We are
receiving valuable entries from persons
IN distant parts Of the country. which
shows that the Rhode Island state fair
Is certainly expanding it's sphere OF in
nuence."
This is the last week for most Of the
exhibit departments. that is, the en-
tries close Monday. Sept 25 faw
departments are open n trine later. for
instance, the horse show and racing
classes. which close October 2. and tho
poultry October 3

PANAMA FOR ANNEXATION.

\ Possible Scheme % Beat he Nfcara-
qua Canal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Panama
a semi-independent province Of Colon
oia, desires annexation by the United
STATES Th2c is the report here. State
Departme 1t officials are eya3iva when
questioned as D the accuracy Of the re
pert, which fact strengthens the con
cIusion that IL is true.
Arthur N. Beaupre, Consul a. Qua
5enala, who was IN this city recently
reported a. the State Department, and
while il is not definitely established
tha- he was the bearer Of any commu-
nication from the citizens Of Panama
the report seems to have been current
ever since his visit
The sudden desire Of the citizens OF
Panama for annexation is regarded As
part of a general scheme 10 prevent the
enactment Of legislation relative to the
Nicaragua Canal.
It is assumed that the disturbed con-
ditioD in Colombia makes the agitation
Of the annexation sentiment in Pana-
ma particularly popular at this time.
The Panama Canal Company is sup
posed to be ait the bottom Of the agita-
ton, on the theory that if the United
States become interested in Panama
and regard it IS as a possible addition
TO this country, Congress will go slow
in making a law providing for the To-
cation of the canal through Nicara qua.
Last winter the Panama Canal Com
Dany had a powerful lobby in Wash
:net0n to ,thWart Nicaragua Canal leg
'slation. As a result, instead Of final
action being taken, a law providing for
a new commission was passed.
This commission has been diligently
at work and should have its complete
report as to the relative meilits Of both
the Nicaragua and Panama routes
ready with a few months.
