WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Hawaii and
the United States of Colombia alone of
the States and Territories of the Union
and the political entities Of the Western
Hemisphere will be unrepresented at
1.-THE Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo
this summer This was developed dur
ing the past week during the visit of
officials of the great show to the capital.
This exposition. now within three
months of opening, was inaugurated to
cost not above s3.25O,0OO ready for visit
ors.
| Acceptances of the invitation to par
ticipate flowed in upon the administra-
ton of the exhibition. 1t became a
scramble for space. Chile. to which a
small allotment was thought sufficient,
not only demanded more, but showed
that it must be given, by the appropria-
| ton of nearly a half million dollars.
| and of course, there was expansion
Argentina and Peru followed suit Soon
| the original scope of the exposition had
disappeared and in its place was a new
plan 20 per cent larger. This meant
million more money put into buildings
and drives and walks and lawns, and
with the Delle1 Indt 1t was the STONeFH-
ment's invitation that caused the great
demand for space, the corporation man
aging the exposition has asked Congress
to loan half million to the exposition.
1t is exceedingly unfortunate that Ha-
wall should not be represented at this
exposition officially. 1t is probable that
the attendance will be larger than at
any exposition since the Worlds Fair at
Chicago eight years past. There are
several reasons for this belief. The fact
that the electrical capacity of Niagara
will be turned to use in lighting and
producing power and various effects
which in the plans outlined will make
the magnificence Of the night displays
surpass even those of Paris. This will
mean the attraction to the Lake City of
large number Of people from all over
the eastern half of the United States.
from Canada. while reports received in
dictate that there will be more than fair
attendance from South America.
To be missing from the list of exhibit
| ors at an exposition which will draw
| such q tremendous attendance and
where so many States and countries will
be on dress parade will mean the over
| looking of most favorable opportunity
| for exploitation.

| Dat at Honolulu and Arthur WAL at
! Lahaina have issued under date of Feb
ruary 4. The special service to Kaalaea
from Hauula has been changed to make
the supply to Heeia, Island of Oahu.
The fact that the California Legisla-
| ture felt called upon to pass resolu-
ton demanding that the lepers of the
United States be sent to Molokai. and
urging legislation to that end, need be
the cause of no uneasiness on the part
of Hawaiians. 1t will produce the intro
duction of a bill perhaps, but just now
I the cheapest form of amusement Is the

working days of the session remaining
there will be little more done than the
passage of the necessary supply bills.
Congressman Kahn may propose his
measure, which has not seen the light
of day yet, but he will not endeavor
| to press 1t. Should this be done, how
ever, 1t will mean nothing, for the
friends of the Islands will rally to OPP
pose any dumping of incurables upon
the mid-ocean Territory.
| Mrs. William Haywood has received
information of the safe arrival at New
/ York of Miss Kathleen Cartwright
daughter of Bruce Cartwright of Homo
! lulu Miss Cartwright will come to
Washington at once and be the guest
of Attorney and Mrs. Haywood during
the spring. Miss Cartwright will remain
with her hosts at their / street home
until after inauguration. She will at

ty which will tour the continent under

/ full of finishing schools, and these sum-
mer trips are events for the young la
! dies who are chosen TO be one of the
merry party.
William Haywood, attorney of the bus
mess interests of Honolulu at the CAPT
1 tai, was the host at a most pleasant
dinner party at the Metropolitan Club
Tuesday evening of last week There
We're present a large gathering of the
most influential members of both Houses
and of the Government, despite the fact
that there were two other functions the
same evening to which almost every
one of Mr.. Haywood's guests We're ex-
pected. The dinner, while in no sense
one at which only Hawaii was to be
the feature, soon became such an event
Uncle Joe" Cannon, the chairman OF
the Appropriations Committee of the
House, was one of the guests and kept
/ the party laughing much of the time by
/ the recital of his experiences while in
| Hawaii four years ago. The absence OF
! formality IN the shape of a set toas;
! list made the informaIity of the affair
most agreeable and the dinner was one
OF the most successful of the club func-
! ions for the session. At Mr. Haywood's
! rlsht sat Senator Perkins of California
1 ana at his left Representative Knox, the
J chairman of the Committee on Terrific
RES. Others present We're: Representa-
4 i've Cannon. Assistant Secretary Spald-
ing OF the Treasury Department, Repre-
sehtatives Berry, Loudenslager and
steele. Admiral Bradford chief of the
bureau or Equipment of the Navy De-
/ pertinent, Mr.. d. w. Stevens of the Jap-
dIese Legation. and others.
