BIRDS AND KITES.
The Fcathered Creatures Cannot Under

Inc Fcathcred Creatures Cannot Under
stand the, Strange Fliors.
Many amusing experiences have been
the lot of the scientists who have been
manipulating kites for scientific pur-
poses, says the Chicago News. Large
plrds are always Interested in the
strange devices floating III the air aud
cannot quite mako out what they are.
prompted by sharp curiosity, they how
er around the floating kite and subject
themselves to the danger Of becoming
entangled in the silken string and be-
ing dragged down to earth.
No bird, however, has ever alighted
ON kite or attacked one. While ono
scientist was flying train of five kites
q couple of years ago large, silver
tipped eagle came suddenly out Of the
higher air and swooped round and
round tho first kite. looking against tin
sunset sky like huge silver ball. AS
the train of kites was pulled in the eagle
followed. visiting ono kite and then an
other, seeming uncertain just what to
do. In few minutes, when he seemed
to have decided that they were not good
to eat. and he knew nothing about
them, anyway, he Indignantly few off
and was lost to view.
Another experience was had with a
stork that came from the New Jersey
side of tho Hudson and flew straight
for the queer object i'll the air. He APP
parently had made up his mind to go
straight through it, but changed and
dove underneath. He went around and
above it, and through glass it could

intruder in Il most comical manner. He
started away n few hundred feet,
changed his mind, and came swooping
back. He finally reluctantly went away,
mystified over this queor addition to
the inhabitants of the air.
While kites were high in the air one
March focks of geese flying in the
wedge flew over. They invariably stop
ped, broke up, lowered above the queer
object, and mt last slowly reformed and
flew away. While tho larger birds all
como from heights above the kite, the

Special Dispatch to THE CALI.

BOSTON, Dec. 3.-Bishop 4. Willis of
Honolulu, who has been Tor the past nine
months in England, where he attended
the Lambeth Conference, arrived in Bos-
ton yes erday, and remained over night al
Toungs Hotel. To a CALL correspondent
he SAID that while he was not conversant
with the present political situation in
Hawaii, there was no doubt that a major
ity of the people there were still opposed
10 being annexed to the United States.
The electorate, he admits, az at present
constituted, i very much in favor of an
nexation. This anomaly was due, he
stated, to the very restricted registration
growing GU; of the new oath of allegiance.
1t appears that under the old regime, ac-
corGing to the Bishop, there were about
IA 900 voters, but the republic in making
up the new oath of allegiance, inserted
clause requiring subscrlb ers 10 abstain
from all attempts to restore the monarchy.
Only about 2000 voters have taken this
oath, balf OF whom are office holders, and
they are nearly al annexauonists. There
seems TO be a general opinion, ~a'd the
Bishop, that the present government OF
the Hawaiian Islands cannot 90 on, about
all its prestige depending on President
Dole, who lends it most of what respecta-
bility there is. He thought the United
States prejudiced the Hawaiian people
against itself by inserting this oath into
he con titution which was forced upon
them. The oath is that no man shall
favor anything conducive to monarchy.
''At the present time, " said he, "Hawail
is recognized abroad as a nation, and her
representatives are received everywhere
with the same respect that Is shown to the
representatives of other countries. The
| United States is really the ruler of Hawaii,
aud al the other nations recognizes Its
authority and will not interfere"
Regarding the results of annexation,
the accomplishment of which was as
sumed for tue sake of argument, the
Bishop thought there would be trouble
over the read justment of the contract
system prevalent in Hawaii. The labor
introduced in this way, he said, formed
a very considerab bic numerical portion of
the population, there being about Fl, 900
Chinese and "a, COO Japanese out of
a total population OF 1O1, 900. or nearly
half Orientals wto have no votes. They
are far from ''free" laporers, lie went on
to say, coming as they DO to he islands
under q contract that, in his opinion. will
conflict with American notions OF equal
ity. 10 say nothing OF our alien contract
laws.
Bishop Willis left for Honolulu this
morning, and said he was glad 10 be get
tlng home after his long absence.

William Guldensuppe, was to-day sen.
fenced to be eIectrocuted in the week be-

When Thorn was broug ht into court at

imperturDable expression of countenance
that he had worn at every crisis in the
working out of his fate du:ing tine trial,
and when Justice Maddox put the Gus

NEW YORK, Dec. "a Washington
special to the Herald says: Under orders
issued by Secretary Long to-day, repairs
10 vessels of the North Atlantic squadron
must be COM leted by December 10 and
they will leave New York for Hampton
Roads singly as soon as repairs are COM
pIeted. When the fleet is complete they
will sail for Florida Bay. where the pro-
posed manauvers will be conducted.
In the event of trouble with Spain,
growing out of possible failure OF the
Sagasta reforms and a dele ImInatiop OF
the administration, to interfere or action
by Congress tending 20 excite the people
of Spain and precipiiate trouble Tor
Americans in Cuba, naval officers say the
stationlng of the squadron in Florida Bay
will place this Government In highly
advantageous position. Only eighty
miles sep ,rate Key West and Havana,
and this distance could be made by the
>hipS in six hOI :.
Officials positively assert, however, that
the stationing Of ships in Florida Bay
has no ullerior motive whatever, being
designed simply TO enable maneuyers in
IN warmer waters and thus increase their
efficiency.
The fleet will consist of the bsttle-ships
