a Troublesome Chip.


The other day gentleman well known about

out OF sorts. He carried so much gloom q his
usual cheerful face that his friends we're almost
afraid TO ask him what the matter was, says the

Bayard for the English Miss. on


1t is generally believed that ex.Secretary
| of the Navy Whitney could have had the
mission to England il he had desired it.
There was au impression that an unfriendly
feeling had grown up between Mr.. Whitney
and Mr.. Cleveland since the election, but the
statement that Mr.. Whitney made TO the
correspondent Of the MORNING NEWS at
Brunswick the other day shows it had no
foundation. Mr.. Whitney does not desire
at present official honors. He took the lead
ing part at Chicago in bringing about the
nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland because he
I was satisfied that Mr.. Cleveland was the
most popular man in the country, and
would make an admirable chief magistrate.
The appointment Of ex-Secretary OF State
Bayard to the English mission is an emf
nently dt one. Mr.. Bayard has had a great
deal ofexperience in public life and has filed
every position to which he has been called
with great credit. Being a man Of culture,
and possessing ability Of high order. he
will be representative at the court of st.
James who will serve the country with the
greatest efficiency.
The appointments of Gen. Young and
James Davis Porter made yesterday are also
good ones. In fact, all the diplomatic ap-
pointments thus far made show that Mr.
Cleveland aims to send abroad, as repre-
sentatives of the government men OF such
ability and character as will make a good
impression at the capitals of other nations.

One of the American sailors who sailed

An interesting caller at the white house
day or two ago was John Scott Harrison, of
Kansas City. He is an office-seeker and the

men that he had voted for Gen. Harrison in
the last two elections merely on account of
their kinship, but, except the two instances,
he bad always voted the democratic ticket.
DR.. Fl. c. White, of the state university

.Janan Wants Hawaii.

Japan is getting ambitious. She would
like TO extend her territory by taking pos
session Of Hawaii. The latest advices from
Honolulu are to the effect that the captain
Of the Japanese cruiser Nan wa had called on
the provisional government and announced
that IL the United States should aban-
don the idea of annexing the islands or Of
establishing a protectorate over them the
japanese would consider that Hawaii had
no government ami would raise their flag at
Honolulu. Il is believed that English
agents are advising japan in this matter.
The reason Japan is anxious to get con-
troll OF Hawaii is that a very large percent
age Of the inhabitants are Japanese. There
are thousands Of them employed on the
sugar plantations. Under Japanese rule
their number would be much greater, and
they would increase the production Of sugar
immensely.
There is no probability. however. that the
Japanese will have the opportunity to raise
their flag at Honolulu. II this country
does not annex Hawaii It Will determine
what It's government shall be. While the
delay Is resulting in a growing sentiment
among the lower classes OF the natives
against annexation the native men of in
huence are beginning to regard with much
more favor the annexation movement
1t may be several months before Commits
sioner Blount makes his report, but when
be does make it this government will be
ready to act decisively and vigorously, in
all probability in the Hawaiian affair.

The prize-dghting mania, or rather the
mania to zee prize fghts, is on the wane.
This is indicated by the reluctance of the
big athletic clubs to bid for the Corbest-
Mitchell fight. Before the fight was ar
ranged it was thought by the fighters and
their hackers that the clubs would literally
tumble over each other In their eagerness
to offer great purses for the mill. 1t was
confidently expected that the purse to be
fought for would be at least sec, 900, and
possibly S75 900. But it appears likely that,
il the fight comes off at all, 1t will be for a
purse not much more than half as large as
was counted upon. One of the New Orleans
clubs has offered $25, 1000 and the other will
not go above ass 900. And as the contest
is practically between these two clubs, it 70
thought S35, 900 is the limit that will be
touched. That sum is a fortune, 1t is true,
but it will be remembered that second
GLASS fight in New Orleans the other day
was for a purse almost as large, while Cor
bett and Mitchell stand at the head Of their
profession"

Editor Hemphill Wants No ONCE.
There has been some talk In the South
Carolina papers to the effect that Mr.
Hemphin, the editor of the Charleston
Ne,Os and Courier, is an applicant for q
federal office. In an article entitled per
sonal Matter" the NetoS aud Coarier has
the following:
The Chester Bulletin says: 1.-THE States
silence on Hemphill's candidacy for fed
eral appointment appeared strange until we
heard that its editor was in the same boat"
Commenting upon this statement, our Col
unbia contemporary says:
This seems 70 mean that the State was
expected to attack the candidacy Of the
editor Of the NetOS and Courier, and re-
Trained from doing so because of the equally
guilty purpose OF its own editor. We would
like to know why the State should attack j.
G. Hemphill as a candidate for appointment
by President Cleveland We do
not know who would be more justified in
asking an appointment of President Cleve-
land. He has not only been q Cleveland man
from the first. but, far more important, q
supporter, in the main, OF Mr. Cleveland's
policy, now the policy Of the national demo-
cracy," etc.
The editor of the Ne,Us and Courier
has 40 desire TO obtrude his personality
upon the public and refrains, as far as pos
sible, from devoting the columns of the
| NelCS and Courier to a discussion of his
personal affairs; but 80 much has been said
about his alleged candidacy for appoint.
ment to a diplomatic position by Mr..
Cleveland, and so much that was purely

| while thanking the State for its kindly

| candidate for any position within the gift
of Mr.. Cleveland, and that he has not been,
is not, and will not be an applicant for any
office.

that that able editor would leave his post
