ANNEXATION SUGGESTIONS.

/ The plaintive whine OF a new,
born annexatonist, asking the
IGovernment To tell il how the
new American administration
Stands on the subject of annexa-
ton. is highly amusing, Possibly
the newborn notes that its argu-
ments don't cut much OF figure,
consequently seeks attention by
making noise. Hawaii viii know
something more definite regarding
the outlook in the United States
when the Australia arrives, and
not till then.
There are many things that new
born annexaionists cannot seem
10 appreciate, They fail to recog
nike that the Republican party has
a great problem TO take care of at
home just at the present writing.
The first duty OF the administra-
ton is to secure reform in the
tariff. With the large number of
disatfected silVerites, the task Of
clearing the way for prompt tariff
legislation in the extra session of
Congress has occupied the time and
attention of party managers since
the complexion of Congress be
came positively known. The silver
ties are strong enough to block the
way If they take the notion. Mon
ay and tariff are the two all-im-
portant subjects now before the
United States Congress. Nothing

party by seeking 10 force their

efficiently plaeated to merit the
lope that the tariff bill would not |

It Is not impossible that Senator
Frye's bill to appropriate 100000
for the fertilization of Pearl Har-
Dor Is a forerunner of Republican
action in Hawaiian affairs. The
nation whose flag floats over Pearl
Harbor controls the Hawaiian Isl
.ands- The people here do not seem
TO recognize the power OF the forces
.arrayed against Hawaii. They do
not appreciate that many Ameri-
can advocates Of control do not
favor annexation. These advocates
fear our population; and they want
a larger infusion Of Americans and
les Chinese and japanese before
Hawaii Is admitted to the posi-
biIities Of full statehood. This fear
i unfounded. Yet it exists, just
the same The plan Of the fearful
ones would be to occupy Pearl
Harbor as the first move of the
annexation program, and follow In
later years with more positive leg
islation- The friends OF Hawaii in
the United States Congress will
gain annexation, if possible; if not,
they win accept the next best
thing.
We can only conjecture what
the outcome viii be. The pathway,
from the Hawaiian standpoint, Is
clearly marked, howeyer-keep
pegging away We must be ready
to act when the United States calls
for action and the new-borns must

Under the auspices of the Lady Man
ayers of the Mems Reading Room there
will be an entertainment in Washington
Hall on Thursday evening, August 18th.
Among many entertaining features there
will be a Cantata-" a Garden of Sing
ing Flowers which local and some
visiting talent will participate. Mr..
Wood Mcdonald, of whose clever per-
fo.mances our people know something,
has consented to be present and in his

to those who will be there to hear. Some
character pieces by children will be
pleasing. The Cantata will be under the

From what we know of the promoters
OF this entertainment and of the capabil-
tiles and charms Of those rehearsing for
this to be delightful evening, and the au-

the program from beginning to finish,
this is TO be one of the most successful OF

Rouss PhysicaI LABORATORY.


Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly gives
an interesting sketch of the noted Uni
versity of Virginia, from which we ex-
tract the following, containing mention
of the munifcent gift of Mr.. Charles
Broadway Rouss to this time honored in
stituuon
The news of the great fire carried grief
to the hearts of many an alumnus of the
University throughout the land but it
was resolved that this noble inititution
should not be suffered to decline. Pow
erty is unfortunately the lot of the South,
where most of the alumni live, but gen
erous contributions to alma mater were
made, not only by alumni, but also by
such public-spirited citizens as MI.
Charles Broadway Rouss, of New York.
whose name will be given to the new
physical laboratory, erected by means OF
his generous gift. The State Legislature
also made such provision as the resources
of the State would permit and every
friend of the University is rejoiced to
know that the Rotunda is being restored
in fireproof materials, and with such inter
nal notifications and external additions
as will greatly enhance both its useful
ness and beauty. The Annex, on the
contrary, will not be rebuilt. But IN Its
stead new group of buildings, designed
by Messrs. McKim, Meade & White, of
New York, are now being erected at the
south end of the lawn, the central one OF
which faces the Rotunda, while the two
others face east and west respectively
One of these will be the Rouss Physical
laboratory, with lecture-rooms, and the
other the Mechanical laboratory, also with
lectlre-rooms. The central building will
contain the Public Hall, as we'll as gen
eral assembly room, a law library, and a
number of lecture-rooms for law and
academic classes. All three will be in n
classical Ionic style, and, with the new
quadrangle between them, will complete
in most harmonious wise the original
Teffersonian group. In the rear of the
central building will be boiler-house,
from which steam-heating pipes will run,
not only to all the new buildings, but
also to the Rotunda. The new buildings
are considerably larger than the pictures
of them would show. For, inasmuch as
the level quadrangle in their front con
sists of made earth to the depth of many
feet, while the foundation. walls all rest
upon solid ground, the buildings are much
taller than indicated by the front view.
A few months more will see the compile
ton of all these structures, and the Uni
versity will then undoubtedly be far bet
ter equipped in that respect than ever be-
fore, while it may be doubted whether
any other university in the world can
boast of so harmoniously beautiful col
lection of buildings as will be the combi-
nation of the new structures with the old
Jeffersonian group.

nrdson, of this place, and J. J. Pitman,
of Kabletown, on Saturday performed
upon Mrs. James Ellyott. of Myerstown,
a radical operation for feHaefal hernia
The operation, we understand. was en4i.
gently successful, and so far the patient,
who is IA the residence of DIR. Bishop, is
doing as we'll as could be expected, with
every prospect of recovery. We are
pleased to note this operation as setting
forth the fact that we have in our own
midst physicians sufficiently skilled in
the art of surgery to undertake cases re.
curing the soundest medical Judgment
and the incest precision in execution
1t is not long since similar case was
sent from this locality to an eminent city
hospital, but the success of this operation
will doubtless determine that such ac-
ton is unnecessary, and that difficult
surgery may be executed here as well as
elsewhere.
