Seattle, Wash. May 22.-On Tues
day, June /, 80 minutes after the
stroke of noon. President William II.
Taft, in the WhiTS House at Washing
ton, will press d ieweled telegrapher's
key and flash to Seattle the message
that will omen to the world the Alas
ka- Yukon Pacific exposition.
The exposition IS ready and Seattle
awaits the signal, for the northwest
ern metropolis has made good. For
the first time in the history of world
fairs there will be presented a finished
exposition on the day announced. The
music. speech making, the big festiVi-
ties which the northwest has planned
for the opening day will not be pune
tuated with the rap of the hammer or
married by the voice of the tuneful
saw.
Seattle is filled almost to the point
of overflow with sightseeTs awaiting
the initial event. By far the larger
part of the crowd has gathered from
Washington and neighboring states,
but there are thousands of tourists
from the Atlantic seaboard and the
middle east who have been attracted
not only from their homes but from
the various points of interest in Cali
fornia and Canada
The CITY itself is dressed for the
carnival as never before. The Can
Won streets are festooned with cleo
trio lights and everywhere there is
bunting. pickd out with the exposition

fleets are keeping open house to all
visitors.
Now that the exposition is spread
and Seattle has-had a chance to look
il over, il is realized for the first time
Just how big a show it is There have
been some large sounding claims
made for 1t in advance and a good bit
of boasting that may have sounded
fullsome, but il is a fact that there is
everything here that has been an
nounced and p whole lot more that
none knew anything al all about until
the covers we're off the packing boxes
and the exhibits revealed.
As an industrial exhibition it is the
last word. Process, rather than prod
uct, is shown. and the result is that

| things made. From Top 10 bottom the
huge Liberal Arts palace is jammed
with miniature factories turning out
their wares in full view of the passing
crowd.
The same is to be said on the agri
cultural and horticultural side. In the
Palace of Agriculture is the story of
the resources, developed and undevel-
Oped, OF the west and all of fruitful
Canada 1t is laid out by county,
state and province and there is pure
food show demonstrating the things
to eat that may be made of the raw
products shown in the other depart
ments.
All that any other exposition has
had to show of these things the Alas
ka- Yukon Pacific has to show. The
manufactures are different only in
that they are down to the minute and
more than ever before they are shown
in their evolution. The agricultural
exhibits are the same as other agri-
cultural exhibits have been except
that there are more of them and lands
are represented that we're never shown
before.
1t is in its Alaska exhibits, its
showing from the Orient. its pageant
of wonders from the south seas, the
Straits settlements and the whole
equatorial sink that the Seattle fair
finds its greatest excuse for being.
Never before at an Occidental port
has there been so mixed a gathering
of strange peoples; nor has any
worlds fair had them to show. There
are dozens OF strange races and al
most as many different religions. It
is safe to say, for matter of fact.
that no exposition ever held has had
so much to offer of the picturesque
and the strange; certainly none has
ever offered educational value of so
high a standard
The exposition atmosphere is dis
tinctIv Oriental. The flags of the
Dragon and the Rising Sun make it
so, for Japan and China have taken
advantage TO the full of the oppoTtuu-
ity TO express their friendship for
Uncle Sam and their appreciation of
the Pacific's trade possibilities. Japan
has one huge building in beautiful

were completed before the first of

connected with the exposition will be

Lake Union from Lake Washington.

work there with the single minded
attitude of unbiased enquiry and
sympathetic appreciation. To take up
an attitude like that in the first place
and then preserve it throughout the
Boxer troubles was in itself no mean
performance. And it's results were
incalculable. Doors that had with
stood the centuries opened for Mrs.
Conger. She became the intimate
friend of the late Empress Dowager,
and it was directly owing to her sug
gestion that that mysterious ruler
permitted an American artist, Miss
Carl. to paint her portrait and send
il to America for exhibition at st.
Louis. On the return of the Chinese
court TO Pekin, following the Boxer
trouble, Mrs. CongeT's personal in
fiuence was powerful in restoring the
good feeling of the court. These mat
tiers of historic moment and many in
innate glimpses of personal life
among women of high and low degree
formed the subject matter of a voiu-
minous correspondence with Mrs.
Conger's relatives in America at the
time their writer was such an i'm
portant actor in the scenes she de-
scribes. Written as each event tran
spired, and, during the siege of the
legations, in ignorance of the NOR
row, these letters are a unique pic
ture of the vital progress of China
during that period of its new birth.
Although written with no thought
of publication, these letters have just
been brought out by A. c. McClurg &
Co. under the title, Letters to the
Empress Dowager and the Women of
China
Not only is the subject matter of
this book unique. but it is profusely
illustrated with full page and other
photographs and portraits taken by
Mrs. Conger or presented TO her by
Chinese friends. A photograph of the
Empress DowageT. others of the I'm
periaI Princesses and Tetinues as well
as many of Chinese statesmen, in
GLIDING the eclipsed Yuan Shi Kai,
are published for the first time and
