owing 10 the pressure Oh the va
fious departments of the Territorial
government to obtain their quotas of
funds, the Fair appropriation item of
may not at present be available, and
at the meeting yesterday morning of
the ST. Louis Fair Committee, there
was some question as to what would
be the outcome of the entire propo-
sition to make an exhibit. 1t was
the sense of the meeting that unless
Commissioner Macfarlane was assured
of receiving the entire $4,000 the pro-
posed exhibit should lapse. Commits
sioner Macfarlane, however, has hopes
of obtaining the full amount of the
appropriation. 1t was estimated yes
terday that the following items of ex-
pense would suffice:
Building, $4,000; salaries of secretary
and assistants and incidental expenses,
$4,000; expenses connected with laying
expenses, cost of preparing exhibits,
special services and literature about
$4,000 This would make $4,000, and
the additional $4,000 would be needed
for emergencies and extras.
The War Department informed Will
liam Haywood at Washington that the
transports would carry, free of charge,
Hawaii's exhibit to the coast.
Macfarlane, Exposition Commissioner,
Chairman w. G. Irwin, ]. G. Spencer,
Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, B. F. Dillingham;,
A. Gartley, w. w. Hall, H. Focke, w.
w. Harris, J. E. Higgins, w. o. Smith,
F. w. Beardslee.
Chairman Irwin said the meeting
was called for the purpose of hearing
a report from Mr.. Macfarlane. The
latter read second letter from George
r. Carter, as follows:
MR.. CARRIERS LETTER.
At st. Louis I only had time to SEND
you a short letter and pencil memo
| randa on the map Of the fair grounds

| On arriving at the Administrator
building, I presented your letter tt

and quiet I had the night before tax

paper reporter of announcing in thu
press that unless Hawaii's exhibi
could be kept together, that in all prob
ability nothing would be done. Thi
of course Mr. Stevens and the othe

Before going into the matter will

other states and territories were do
ing and to get all the information
could before I began to dicker with tn
officials as to final plans.
Mr.. Stevens turned me over to MI
G. M. Reeves, secretary of the Com
mittee on State Exhibits, who took m
over the grounds and lunched me, AM
I am sending you under separate cover
a whole raft of literature, from which
you can gather a fair idea of the ex
hibition. and more particularly the va
riety of architecture shown in the diff
ferent state buildings. I got from MI
Reeves the following list of the cos
of different buildings, which show
that the estimate of $4,000 is high:
New York SIS. 900 O
Indian Territory ............. 16,0OOO
Maine IN OOO n
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-10-08

OF course some of the states like
Ohio and Illinois and Missouri itself,
are going to put up buildings of $780,
900 and over. AS you will see by the
plan already sent, these buildings are
located in one corner towards the city,
in what was originally a city park, on
billy woodland. Thus they can be COM
pared with difficulty but each COM
munity is vieing with the others in
originality. or are attempting to have
some specific attraction. New Mexico,
I think it is, that is to bring a carload
of great big cactus plants, while Flori-
da brings cocooanut trees to put around
their building. One state is to have a
huge block of ore. Washington, as
you see by the pictures, takes eight
tremendous timberS and makes a
wigwam. Arizona puts up a building
similar to the Adobe Spanish Missions.
New Jersey reproduces Washington's
headquarters during the revolution.
Connecticut has moved part of an old
Colonial residence and is reproducing
the balance of it, furnishing it with
original pieces of furniture loaned for
the purpose, so as to show how they
lived in old Colonial times.
These buildings are the distinctive
feature of this affair and form the
headquarters for the people of each
state. Here information is given out
and for the purpose of distributing ad-
vertising matter. 1 fancy they will use
a portion of their preparations for en-
tertaining and 1 guess Kentucky will
have some pretty good whiskey. There
| is absolutely no restriction of any
| kind. as to the method or style of con-
struction. The day I was there, the In
dian Territory Commissioner was to
open bids and let contract for their
building.

PLANTS THAT MADE HISTORY.
Sugar, Tobacco and Cotton Have all
Influenced History.

Rather more than sixty years ago, says
stray Stories. a tiny fungus-itself a
piant-appeared in Ireland and fastened
itself on the potato. Fostered by a cheer

whole potato crop, the mainstay OF the
irish. was ruined and the resulting fam
Inc OF lS4o stands out In history as time
OF overwhelming trouble.
Its relief occupied the whole attention
of the British ministry and when the
Famine was over a quarter of the whole
population lay slain by the fungus.
And the potato disease acted In two
distinct ways on history. 1t had an i'm
mediate effect in helping the repeal OF the
corn laws and throwing the country open
to free trade.
In the second place, it had a great and
for there then started stream of emf
grants across the Atlantic which has
steadily continued.
At the beginning of the seventeenth
century the English and Dutch were ri
walls for the possession Of q certain little
island, Amboyna, in the East Indies be-
cause Of the cloves that grew upon it.
AT TINS cate the production of cloves
was extremely limited, and finally the
Dutch massacred small English colony
established there. This aroused the hit
ter feeling in England against the Dutch
ana. as q great historian tells us, fur
nished popular way for two years.
sudden passion for tulips turned the
heads OF the usually placid Dutchman in
the seventeenth century, and the tulip
omania is wen recognized event In
Dutch domestic history.
1t II time when the desire to possess
an uncommon tulip was sufficient to
drive men to most extreme lengths OF
speculation, to cause the ruin of noble
houses and to carry whole families to
misery. In fact, so acute did the rage
become that the Dutch Government was
obliged to step in with a heavy hand
and by stringent measures allay this fe-
yer of the tulip.
The tea plant was the last straw"
which brought about the independence OF
the United States, as we all know.
The poppy involved England in the
opium war with China at the beginning
Of the reign Of Queen Victoria. Though
the war was an unjust one. yet 1t did
ultimate good in opening up China to for
eign influence and trade.
Sugar, cotton and tobacco have all IN
fiuenced history, for these three plants
were practically responsible for the slave
trade Of modern times.

TRIAL OF GLENN.
Two Natives Testify Against the
Officer.

Manila. Jan. 1.-Two natives. former Of
ficials Of CaIbayog, Island OF Samar, were
the only witnesses at the trial today of
Major Edwin F. Glenn Of the 9Th Infan-
try. who is charged with unlawfully and
wiIfully killing seven prisoners of war.
The witnesses told of Major Glenn's ar
rival at Calbayog and of his having di
rected the citizens of that place to as
semble In his Office. When the citizens
appeared. Major Glenn read them General
Smiths circular and advised them to aid
the Americans in the paciflcation of the
island. He said this pacification was in
their hands and directed them to go out
and confer with the insurgents. He
warned the citizens that II the insurgents
failed to surrender they would be used as
guides to conduct an American column
against the enemy.
One witness testified that Major Glenn
had taxed him with knowing the location
of General Lukbans camp. He said the
Major warned him that IL he failed to

ahot. The witnesses gave the names of
the seven guides who are alleged to have
been executed under MajorGlenn's orders.
They did not, however. give any testi-
mony regarding the executions.

Venezuelan Government Circles
by the Tenor of the
Powers Proposals.

Caracas, Jan. 1.-THE answers Of the
powers to President Castro's last propo-
sal relative to arbitration, were delivered
to- President Castro this afternoon by
United States Minister Bowen. A meet
ing of the Cabinet was at once called to
consider these communications. 1t will
be forwarded by Minister Bowen at once
TO Washington.
1t has been learned from an authori-
tative source that the answers of the
powers delivered by Minister Bowen this
afternoon have created a feeling OF de-
preston in Venezuelan Government cir
cles. All sorts of rumors are current in
Caracas tonight concerning President
Castro's answer to the communications
of the powers. but none of them is reli-
able.
1t can be said upon good authority that
Mr.. Bowen does not expect to receive the
Venezuelan answer before tomorrow.

ENGLISH PRESS RESTLESS.
Not Enamored of the Alliancs With
Germany.

New York.. Jan IA growing feeling
of impatience at Berlin over the prospect
of long delayed settlement of the Vene-
zuelau claims Is, according to The Trib-
une's London correspondent, noted sus-
piciously by many writer's of the press.
The German embassy in London is re-
ported as rejecting the opinion of the
Berlin foreign office that the award must
be made in three months from the open
ing OF the proceedings at The Hague
tribunal.
The slightest indie 8tion of resentment
on the part of the American press over
German structures on the Monroe doc
trine would be a signal for a vigorous
denunciation of the British foreign office
for persevering in an alliance which has
been disliked from the outset even with
evidence of lack OF excitement in Amer
ica.
There are warnings from the provincial
press that Lord Lansdowne must make
strenuous efforts to remove the obstacles
