Thc maximum number of laborers employed on the World's fair grounds has been reached, and from now on the number num-ber will he diminished daily as the ex-poHitlon ex-poHitlon approaches completion. Secretary Stevens tonight made the following statement: "Instead of having hav-ing placos for more salaried employees, the various departments of thc exposition exposi-tion are now every day rapidly reducing re-ducing the number heretofore employed. Very soon hundreds will have been laid off. By making this fact generally known the press will save many worthy people from wasting their time and money, and at the same time confer a favor on much-worried exposition chiefs. A false notion that there are still vacancies to be llllod in the ser-vlco ser-vlco of thc exposition Is bringing many young people from a distance,, to be disappointed In their hope of enjoying the exposition on a free pass and a comfortable salary." A letter was received today from Prince Kalanlunaolo of Hawaii announcing an-nouncing that former Queen Lllluoka-lani, Lllluoka-lani, Princess Kalnnianaole and himself him-self would arrive within a few days, to spend several weeks visiting the exposition. |
