From the Exposition.

In an interview in tho 7. q. Ad.
vertiser Major G. G. Potter, a"cre-
tary OF the Hawaii Commission to
the. Paris Exposition says' s.
Everybody "vinced q great deal
OF interest in everything we had to
show. There was one very unfor-
tunate circumstance connected with
the display Of Hawaii's products
and that was their lateness in being
installed. By the time they were
in place the awarding juries had
made their rounds aud H.waii was
cut out OF awards which certainly
belonged to her products.
"Bsiors l left Paris | had every
thing that 10 TO be brought back to
Hawaii sent to Bremen to the
PAugep and by them it will be
shipped homo around the Horn.
"A great deal of the stuff was
given 10 the Philadelphia CONNER.
sial Museum and will be installed
in tho building in . room to be
called the Hawaiian room. Mr..
Wilson, the director OF the Museum,
was very ar1ious to take anything l
conld spare. All our fruits and
Jared stuff was given to him. The
exhibit in Philadelphia will be one
OF the greatest advertising boom'
the Islands have ever had and the
business community should look to
it rs a medium through which to
disseminate knowledge OF tie re-
aonrc4s Of the Islsnds."

which will commend itself to the war de-
partment when the time comes to replace
the regular troops by other forces COM
petent to preserve order. Gen. Lawton's
idea was to create a force OF native po-
lice whose officers, at first, in all grades,
and finally. as conditions improve, In the
upper grades alone shall all be Ameri-
cans. Some such force as this is now
successfully applied in Cuba by Gen.
Wood, under the cognomen OF rural po-
lice. Owing to the racial differences
among the inhabitants Of the Philippines.
1t was Gen. Lawton's Idea. that there
would be no difficulty In securing police
who should be proof against disloyalty In
the districts, apart from those Of their
nativity, to which rney might be assign
ed. That this theory was well founded
Is indicated by the successful use of the
Macabebe tribe by Gen. Lawton himself,
and by Cen Young later on I'm his chase
after Aguinaldo In the north of Luzon.
The natives, by their acquaintance with
the country and the inhabitants, would be
of great assistance in running down law
breakers. Because of the similarity of
face and figure of the Tagals, the Ameri-
can troops have had great difficulty in
distinguishing one individual from an
other; in telling friend from foe. Indeed
there Is story In circulation among
some of the army officers, who. have just
returned to Washington from Manila,
that the army actually captured Aguin-
aldo In Cavite province, put him in jail
for fifteen days as a suspicious amigo,
and then released him, only to hear OF
his Identity after he had gotten away.

Here are some lively bits of description
from the war in South Africa, drawn
mostly from privates' letters to the folk
at home. as
Like Washington at Trenton, Yule at
Dundee fooled the Beers by leaving lights
in the camp and quietly moving his
atmy. A letter from a, private In the
Leieestershire regiment at Ladysmith
gives a description of the memorable
march from Dundee, and says that when
1t was seen. that the enemy meant to sur
round them Gen. .Yale gave orders to
leave Dundee. He sent nlensdownete the
camp to light candles IN the tents to
make the enemy believe that they had re
tired into camp, and while this was GOV
ing on they were on the move. The Beers
woke UP next morning and shelled the
camp and the town, only to find that the
troops had gone; so they gave chase, but
went the wrong way. The writer says IL
was an awful march; they had no. sleep
for five days and five nights, and only
small. quantities Of food.

BERLIN, Feb. 24.-The receipt of the

cessation of commercial negotiations with
Germany has created q sensation here.
Mr.. Andrew D. White, the United States
ambassador, said to the correspondent Of
the Associated Press:
81 interpret the report of the Washing
ton action is due to the most recent shape
of the meat inspection bill. If the bill
is adopted in its present shape It will
cause a bitter. tariff war between the
United States and Germany, in which,
believe, the latter will get the worst of
it. The United States could cause the
greatest damage by opening every bot
tie of ginger wine and Investigating every
stocking, etc. OF course it would be
mere pretext, but it would be no worse
than they have done with our meat.
which the world recognizes as excellent.
