HARTFORD, Conn, June 25.-It Is said to
be by no means certain that Rev. Samuel
Hart d. d., of this city, who has been
elected bishop of the diocese OF Vermont, at
special Episcopal convention held In Bur-
lngton will accept the high otlica in the

several days ago that his name might be

then, having requested that the matter be
not carried any further, he supposed his
name would not be brought before the con
vention. The students of Trinity college
are arranging meeting with the object of
a formal request that he rem an with the
institution. He has been so closely idsnti-
fled with the management OF the college for
many years that the trustees and faculty
will unite in urging him TO remain and the

According to recent developments the op-
position of the Hawaiian sugar planters to
annexation is easily explained. 1t appears
that the planters use chiefly Japanese labor
ers, of whom there are 10, 900 to Is, 900 on
the plantations. They are hired by contract
for three years and are paid $12 aud $50 a
month, yet they save money. If Hawaii
should be annexed the system Of contract
labor would be broken up and tho planters
would be subjected to greater outlay for
help. For this reason they are opposed to
the annexation scheme,

Who that has been to the Worlds
fair is rot interested in the future
disposition of the great Ferris wheel?
ity that whatever may be the fate Of
other features of the Worlds fair, the
Ferris wheel will turn on its axis for
some time to come. 1t will not be
moved to Coney Island or elsewhere.
II will remain in Midway Plaisance.
New York wanted the great inven-
ton. but the company will not leave
a good business for an uncertainty.
This conclusion has been reached BY
the executive officers. and it is final.
II is bitter disappointment to poor
old New York. That town. having
had none of the good things of the
fair. has been boasting that il had
secured this feature of the exposition
for 4 nearby resort. which is named
for n Kind of sausage. The company
has the right to its present position
on Midway until May /. 1894. and
there il will remain. Before the ex-
Piration of that time arrangements
will probabl be made for contract
between the park commissioners and
the company for the right to the po-
sition.
The Ferris wheel has been the con-
tention of several places of amuse-
ment and summer resorts. Those
who have been seeking the prize
have not been encouraged. however.
by the management. Men who have
money invested in the wheel are sat-
isfied with the present situation and
believe that even after the fair has
closed it will he sufficiently we'll pat
ronized to pay for its operation.
