Scheme for Annexation Stiil Being Advo-
Gated.
London, August 29.-Colonel Mac
Farlane, former aide-de-camp to the
late King Kalakau, has just arrived in
London. In an interview he said that
he was informed that few Hawaiian
politicians and merchants who favored
the old form of government would wait
upon President Cleveland when Con-
gress reassembles to urge the anneXa-
ton of the Sandwich Islands. The pri-
mary object. he said, would be to test
the sincerity of the officials OF the Ha-
waiian republic A large number OF
Americans. he remarked. had joined
the Republican party in Hawaii, l. be-
ing generally understood that the eX-
listing republic in the Sandwich Islands
provided only for a temporary govern
ment until annexation TO the United
States could be arranged.
Colonel MacFarlane favors a perma-
nent republic or else a permanent res
toration of the monarchy. the best eie-
ments of both parties forming a coali-
ton for the support Of the government.
Failing such coalition, annexation TO
the United States would be the most
advantageous commercially, but there
is no doubt that if a test vote were
taken. the natives, who constitute a
majority. would vote largely in favor
of closer political relations with Eng
land.

LONDON ATHLETIC CLUB.

An English Paper Charges Ihat III II
Largely Made Up of Outsiders.
London, August 29.-The Pail Mall
Gazette says: The London Athletic
Club team is largely made up of ont
siders, only four bona fide members
having arranged to go to America. This
secrifice of the best traditions Of the
club has caused great surprise here.
II is obvious that some of the champi-
ons who are members of this team are
not socially qualified to become mem
bers OF the London Athletic Club. This
action is injurious to the cause of ath-
letics. and has done much to reduce
the interest which Englishmen have
been taking in the coming contests in
America. BY announcing that this
team is to be the one selected to take
part in the contests for the champion
ship. the London Athletic Club virtu-
ally compelled the New York Athletic
Club to follow its lead. The members
of the New York Athletic Club are very
wealthy and they are now practically
buying up all the leading men who can
possibly pose. as amateurs Another
Objectionable element concerning this
match is that all inquiries into the an
tecedents of some of the New York
Athletic Clubmen will be dropped pend
ing the issue of the contests"

+ There has just been issued from the
Paris pressa brochure which is creating
Ia large amount of interest in French
medical circles. both on account of its
originality and the experimental re-
suits which it embodies. It is from the
pen of DR.. Edgar Berillon, so well
known in the surgical world by reason
,of his prominent connection with the
dead Charcot in the latter's hypnotic
experiments, and at present Secretarie
General de Ia Societe .d'Hypnologie ct
de Psychologist of Paris and medical in
lspector Of the state lunatic asylums.
The work Is scientific treatise on ony-
scophagie, or hngernail biting, and con-
tains the results of series of observa-
tions in the public and private schools
of France, and extending through a
period of more than seven years. At
the congress Of the French Association
for the Advancement of Sciences, held
at Nancy in 1886, Berillon first an
nounced his observations on the habit
of nail biting, and since that time has
been in almost continuous experiment.
In his thoroughly ientifc,treatment
of what the world has never before con-
sidered worthy Of prolonged or special
study Berilon has arrived at results
really remarkable. His experiments
lead him to pronounce the habit far
more widespread and pernicious than
others promptly treated, and force him
to conclude that, If not disease itself,
it is an unfailing mark of incipient de-
generation of the nervous system,
which, unrecognized, may be productive

BATS IN A CHURCH.
Frequent Fights With the Rats and Mice

Frequent Fights With the Rats and Mice
Upon which They Prey.
In the unused basement Of an old
church in Riverdale there is colony Of
bats that rarely 30 out, but find their
subsistence among the rats and mice
they catch there, says the New York
Sun. They hang during the day head
downward from the sides Of the stone
foundations by the aid Of the peculiar
hooks which are at the joints OF their
wings and when they are not sleeping
they scurry around after food.
The. ianitor Of the church whose
duties frequently cause him to go into
the basement has several times wit
messed battles between the bats and the
large black rats which infestst the place
A-dozen Of them will watch patiently
for hours for such small prey as Q

swoop down upon him and after live
" struggle amid much squea1ing and

the bats themselves to see which shall
get the biggest share OF the prey. If
