The transaction was in every way impressive and of greatest strength. Few • mt those who attended were unmoved.

TVs spectacle was one of a lifetime. It made a varying appeal. Old CLory ' let always had here the respect or all i ftnpla So has the Hawaiian ensign. 8ome have loved one flag better - Dm the other. But no person - escaped a feeling of sentiment mr sorrow when there descended froa the state building for the last ttms the flag of a nation that has so kmg held an honorable and noteworthy place in the great family of . greater commonwealths. There were not many native Hamaiians present to see the transfer of tfce sovereignty. There were present -many men who had lived most pleasantly and happy under the Hawaiian flag, and who regretted deeply, not that annexation had come about, for they rejoiced in this, but that they saw the flag lowered. The ceremony of the noon hour of -SViflay, August 12. was the culmination of a aeries of significant events extending over the past five and a half jnara. Annexation, insuring stability - of government, internal peace and commercial prosperity, was accomplished in fact by a simple ceremony. Preaifloat Dole, American Minister Sewell and Admiral Miller were the principals <n the happening. Annexation Ceremony.

The Hawaiian band played “Hawaii Ponoi,”the Hawaiian national anthem. Col Fisher gave an order to the national guard battery station on the executive grounds, in oommand of Lieut Ludwig, to fire a national salute of 31 guns, which was repeated by the guns of the Philadelphia. As the echo of the last gun reverberated in the hills a bugle sounded and the national ensign of Hawaii came slowly down until it reached the ground, never to go up again. There was a short pause, then the Admiral nodded slightly to Lieut Winterhalter, who gave theorder: “Colors: roll off.” The flagship band struck up the thrilling strains of “The Star-Spangled Banner,** and as the Stars and Stripes slowly ascended there was a breathless suspense. But as it reached the top, cheers broke forth from the crowds below, and salutes of 31 guns were again fired by the Hawaiian battery and the Philadelphia, which was at a distance in the harbor.

A few minutes after hoisting- of the official flag, others were raised from the two side towers, and from the mill* tary headquarters, just across the street from the executive grounds. Minister Sewell then read the follow* ing proclamation: To tkb Qovxknmkht and People or the Hawaiian Islands-By the terms of a joint resolution by which the cession of Hawaiian islands and their dependences to the United States is concluded, it is provided that until congress shall provide for the government of Hawaii, all civil, judicial and military powers exercised by officers of the existing government are to be vested in such person or persons, and to be exercised in such manner as the president of the tailed States shall direct. In the exercise of the power thus conferred upon him by joint resolution the president hereby directs that the civil, judicial and military powers in question shall be exercised by the offioers of the republic of Hawaii as it existed Just prior to the transfer of sovereignty, subject to his power to remove such offioers and fill vacancies. All such offioers will be required at | once to take an oath of allegiance te the United i States, and all military forces will be required to take similar oaths, and ail bonded officers will be required to renew their bonds to th« government of the United States. The power of the minister of foreign affairs will. Upon the transfer of sovereignty and property of Hawaii to the United States, necessarily cease, so far as they relate to the con- j duct of diplomatic intercourse between Hawaii and foreign powers.

A battalion of Amor j lean seamen formed on the grounds in such a way as to complete the immense square. In this position the troopi presented quite an imposing sight. In the center of the square Col. Fisher took the oath, and then administered it to his staff, field and line officers drawn up together. Staff Capt. Pratt carried a beautiful silk American flag Addressing Col. Fisher, President Dole formally presented the flag to the regiment, being the Camp Boston flag of 1893. The flag was immediately unfurled in line. The Hawaiian flag had been folded and wrapped around its staff when the colors were lowered from the executive building. During the flag presentation ChiefJustice Judd swore in the staff officers of President Dole. Following this the members of all the companies were sworn in. They were taken up in line, and those wishing to take the oath were requested tc uncover and raise the right hand. Nearly all hands went up. This adds 1,000 more able men to the United States army. The Hawaiian regiment then escorted the American troops back to the boat landing.

St. LOUIS EXPOSITION. Fwp»n>tloB ter th« FUttMtk t> te iMlS Exposition Nttrint Completion. St.. Louis, Aug. 27.—Preparations are almost complete for the fifteenth annual opening of the St. Louis exposition. This famous attraction will open somewhat earlier this year than usual—September 14—and continue foi five weeks. The exposition of this year will differ from those held heretofore in several respects. The numerous patrons of the enterprise will be surprised when they visit that place this fall to find that the great music hall is no longer to be used for concert purposes. For 14 years the very best society ol St. Louis has been wont to congregate in this place, and go into raptures over" strains of musio discoursed to them by the lamented Gilmore, the famed Victor Herbert and John Philip Sousa, and the thought that this is now a thing of the past will probably cause a tinge of regret in the hearts of the many devotees of music. ,

It must not be supposed by this however, that the concerts are to b« abandoned.. Far from it. On the con* trary, they will be made more delightful this year than ever. The scene, however, will be shifted from the imposing music hall to the more imposing coliseum. A special platform has been erected in the center of th« arena, where Sousa’s band will be stationed. The coliseum will be converted into a tropical garden, where palms and other tropical and subtropical foliage will,.be distrilmted around in points of vantage. Rustic chairs will be placed in different places in the garden. In this manner it will be possible for music lovers to sit undisturbed throughout the length of the entire four concerts. Music hall b used for spectacular exhibitions. Considerable attention will be paid to the art department this year. C-W. Rho les, the assistant director, is now in the city making arrangements tio add to the atractiveness of the exhibit, and Charles M. Kurtz, the director, is expected in a few days* Most of the pictures have already arrived. Among the artists represented this year are Meissonier, the late Anton Mnave, Mesdag, the Dutch marine painter; Fortuny, J. M. Swan, the Fa*- j mous English animal painter;; Brissot, Monet, Pissaio. Renoit, Sisley,, the last of the five impressionists i Reid, Cooper, Childe Hassain, Palmer j rad Tarbell, the American impressionists; Thaulow, the leader and most noted of Norwegian painters; FI. Hbpkinson Smith, of Venetian water-color fame; two paintings of the late W.C. Pr:knell, a character study by J. Qt. Browu, and animal pictures by Delphi Howe, Wiggins, Craig and a number af others. In addition to this, Frederick Macmonies, who modeled the Columbian fountain at the World’s fair, and the Bacchante and child at^-tJieyBoston public library, will k^ve foitr of his best bronzes on exhibition.
