GooD-BY ANNEXATION.

The shortsighted men who have
been attempting to ruin the Hawai-
ian Islands by fostering the infam-
Gus annexation scheme feel very
blue just now. Even the most fana-
tic of them realize that the opposi-
tion now at work in the United
States is more powerful than the
crazy jingoes whose constant din
ming their annexation "tom-toms"
are making them noisy nuisances.
The open stand taken by the leaders
OF the united labor organizations Of
the States against the annexation
has been a serious blow to the
iingoes and McKinley's policy. We
published last evening letter writ
ten to the S. F. Call by Samuel
Gompert, the President of the Am
erican Federation OF Labor, in
which he in no uncertain terms
condemns the annexation acheme.
To-day we have received inform
alton that all the branches Of
the American Federation OF La
bor have adopted the anti-annexa-
tion policy Of the headquarters of
the Union. 1t means that in every
State, county, city or'hamlet in the
United States the laboring classes
will oppose annexation and use all
available. pressure on their repre-
sentatives in Congress to down the
infamous treaty under which it is
proposed to rob the Hawaiian ma
tion OF its independence. The labor
party in the States is powerful. 1t
has shown its strength by the cleo
ton OF Van Wyck to the position of
Mayor of Greater New York, and it
will prove its power conclusively by
killing the annexation treaty and
the whole question as dead as is the
proverbial door-nail.

Germany and Hayti.

PoRT.AU-PRINoE, Hayti, Oct. 21.--
Serious trouble has arisen between
Hayti aud Germany. The German
Minister to this republic, Count
Schwerin, has hauled down his flag,
and according to current report
three German warships are expected
here to back up the ultimatum Of
the Minister to Hayti, demanding
an indemnity for the alleged arrest
and imprisonment of a German citi-
zen.
The affair has caused considerable e
excitement among the native popu-
lation, and some Of the people have
threatened to kill the German Min
ister and all the Germans in the
place and vicinity.

SOUTHERN oALIFoRNIANs
Unanimous In Opposition to Annex
alton.

Los ANGELES, Oct. 31.--lf there is
one question upon which there is
practical unanimity OF sentiment
among the people OF Southern Cali
fornia it is upon that Of Hawaiian
annexation. The consensus of OPT
nion in opposition to it is almost a
unit.
The feeling that it would be most
illadvised for the United States to
take step which would make the
islands a part OF the Federal domain
is not confined to one class OF the
people of this section OF the State,
but among all classes it is generally
prevalent.
The fact that Senator White is a
resident Of this city and is personal
ly acquainted with the more pro.
minent men Of this section of the
State and the prominence that has
come to him as one OF the leaders of
the opposition to annexation has
caused general study of the ques-
tion by many people who would not
otherwise have given it more than
passing attention.
9he result of that study of the
proposition, to add to the Federal
domain this group of Pacific islands,
10 all of the various phases presen-
ted by the problem has been to so
lidify>publc sentiment in one direc-
tion-opposition to annexation un-
der any and all circumstances.
Many who were at first inclined
to favor annxation have after in
vestigating declared themselves to
be unqualifiedly opposed to it. This
reversal OF opinion they fortify with
strong reasons succinctly statsd.

CENTRAL AFRICA.
Heated Words Between England and
France

LONDON, Oct. 30.-The African
situation has been aggravated by the
French semi-oflicial note, made pub.
lie on Tuesday last, and reading:
"The news from West Africa fore
shadows great difficulties of Nikki
and in Borgu. The Niger Company
(British) is sending officers there to
incite rebellion and distribute arms
to the natives.
sin view of this situation French
troops have been dispatched to the
district from Senegal, as a preven-
tive measure. Moreover, the British
negotiators for settlement OF the
Niger question have been in Paris
for over week, and everything
points to Great Britain seeking to
let matters drag. Seemingly she
does not intend to discuss the ques-
tion, but means will undoubtedly be
found to foil these tactics"
Then the question was further
aggravated by the reply of the Brit
ish Colonial Office, issued the same
day, declaring that there did not
seem to be any reasonable fear of
complications at Nikki, capital of
the Bogu territory, providing the
French Government behaves reason
ably"
1t was added, however, at the
Colonial Office that Great Britain
had taken the determination to more
effectively police her territories, aud
il the French persisted in trespass-
ing complications would naturally
arise.
The wording of these statements,
it is, pointed out, shows that both
sides are inclined to lose their tenn
pers. Even the unexciteable Times
says: "If the French are unwise
enough to persist in carrying out
the theory OF effective possession
constituting title, they will find
that we shall be reluctantly obliged
to apply it too"
1t is one OF the rare occasions
upon which the press is unanimous,
papers OF all shades Of opinion pro-
missing the Marquis of Sails bury the
nations support in bringing the
French filibusters to their senss"

was drawn tightly across tho figure and
tho waist defined by high draped belt.
The sleeves weie made without being

The old fashioned molasses is rapid

slrups which are more costly and by
no means as satisfactory, especially to
the little ones, who delight, rs we did

goes into the distilleries, where it is
made into rum, for which, notwith-
standing tho efforts of our temperance
workers, tho demand is constantly OH

The regular drinl1er of rum will take no

laughter and Insanity.

1t is very curious fact" said q
celebrated asylum doctor recently,
THAT, taken as general rule, ull luna
tics laugh about twice rs much us sane
people.
"One Of my worst patients at the
present moment exhibited the first signs
of insanity by laughing continuously
and without stopping for over week.
1T was just after severe illness,
which had been accompanied by much
mental depression, and his friends were
SO delighted with the apparent improve
ment i'll his spirits that they had no
idea of tho real state of affairs until IA
doctor was called i'll and pronounced
tho man completely mad. Laughter
after II surgical operation is symptom
always greatly dreaded by doctors and
nurses.
THAT queer impulse to laugh which
somo people experience in the first mo-
ment of II sudden calamity is i'll reality
one of tho sharpest warnings of insan-
ity that any one could receive.
Some people fall into habit of
laughing at their own thoughts when
alone. This should be always strictly
checked, rs it is III unhealthy sign and
may lead to brain trouble later on. -.

How Bees Embalm.

Bees, says Horbis, can embalm as
successfully rs could the ancient Egyp-
tians. 1t often happens in damp weather
that a slug or snail will enter bee
hive. This is, Of course, to the unpro.
tected slug case of sudden death. The
bees fall upon him and sting him to
death at once. But what to do with the
carcass becomes vital question If left
where it is, it will breed regular
pcstilence Now comes in tho clever
ness of the insects. They set to work
and cover it with wax, and there Won
may see St lying embalmed just as the

Value of the Egg In Sickness.

The value of egg albumen as food in
certain diseased conditions is pointed
out by DR.. G. E. Boynton. When fever
is present and appetite is nil, he says,
when we want an aseptic article of
diet, the white of an egg raw serves
both as food and medicine. The way to
give it Is to drain off the albumen from
an opening 1bout half an inch in diam
eter ut the small end Of the egg, tho
yolk remaining inside the shell. Add a
little salt to this and direct the patient
to swallow it. Repeat every hour or
two. In typhoid fever this mode of feed
ing materially helps us in carrying out
an antiseptic plan of treatment. Fur
thermore, the albumen to q certain ex-
tent may antidote the toxines Of the
disease. Patients may at first rebel at
the idea of eating raw" egg, but the
quiokness with which it goes down
without the yolk proves it to be less
disagreeable than they supposed, and
they are very ready to take q second
