Japan Wants Hawaii.
This Reason for Protest say Friends of Annexa.
tiOn.

The gist of the protest of Japan against the
annexation of Hawaii is as follows:
The acquisition of Hawaii by the United
States would deprive the resident Japanese
in the islands of rights to which they are at
present entitled under treaty with Hawaii
At present there are 25 900 Japanese on the
islands with large property rights and under
existing conditions they are entitled to be-
come citizens of Hawaii. In case of annex
alton these Japanese could not become citi-
zens of the United States.
Hawaiians in Washington insist that the
reason for the protest of Japan against an
nexation is that Japan really desires to ac-
qulre the islands herself. The main point
of contention between Japan and Hawaii
over the treaty between them it is learned is
as to the wording of the treaty which Hawaii
seeks to abrogate. This treaty has a pro-
vision that it may be terminated at any
time by mutual consent. This is construed
by the Japanese government to mean that
the treaty cannot be terminated without the
consent of both governments and as long as
Japan insists on keeping it in force it cannot
be abrogated. The Hawaiian contention is
that the words have no such meaning and
that any contract or agreement can be dis
solved by mutual consent as a matter of
course; that if the claim of Japan was valid
the treaty would be in effect permanently.
1t is understood that Japan insists that
her present plans must be acknowledged and
accepted by the United States in case of an
nexation although protesting against annex
alton

storm known in the history of Kansas struck
this city shortly after o'clock tonight.
Hallstones weighing II to IL ounces stripped
the trees OF their foliage, smashed window
panes, including the fine street plate glass
fronts, cut down telegraph and telephone
wires, riddled awnings and inflicted unpre-
cedented damage throughout the city. Dogs

killed and horses We're knocked to their

The damage wrought can better be imagin-
ed when it is known that the halstones
ranged in size from that of hens egg to

after the storm one haistone was picked up
which measured II inches in circumference.
Surgeons are busy dressing the wounds of
persons injured in the storm and reports of
injuries continue to be received. Many
We're hurt in runaways. The damage can
not be estimated, but it will amount to
thousands. Street car traffic is stopped and

The Waldo Congregational Conference

The forty-ninth annual meeting of the
Waldo County Conference of Congregation-
al churches was held with the church at
Freedom, June 22d and 23d. The weather
was perfect, the attendance was good, and
much interest was shown in the meetings.
Eighteen went from Belfast, an unusually
large delegation. The conference organized
with Rev. r. G. Harbutt as moderator and
Rev. G. S. Mills as scribe. The opening de-
votional service was conducted by Mr.. IT.

The topic, "The Lords Day: Its Divine
authority and what can we do to promote
Its better observance ?" was introduced by
Mr.. Sherman Goodwin, pastor of the church
at Freedom, and Rev. f. S. Dolliff. 1t called
forth very general discussion. Miss
Frances j. Dyer of Belfast, assistant editor
OF The Congregationalist, had particularly
helpful word upon this topic.
Mr.. A. G. oibey, President of the Belfast
Civic League, gave an account of the move

After short recess the sacrament of the

able conference. A hearty rising vote was
given the people in Freedom for their gen.
erous hospitality Such fine weather and
entertainment are not always found in COM

WASHINGTON WHIsPERINGs. That
famous claimant for six millions from the
British government for deprivation of
valuable timber lands in New Zealand so
years ago, Capt. William Webster was
buried in Baltimore June 23d. He was a
native of Portland, where he passed his
boyhood. His life was romantic one
and his claim is probably valid Benj
Butler and William Evarts were his at
torneys. He left no children. A policy
which will affect many pension claims has
been adopted by the Interior Department

of an honorable discharge. Senator
Morgan of Alabama has introduced bill

our position which, without in any sense
abating our claims, still does not distend
or support them by much action of pre-
cedent and international law. AN elo-
