Story About the Possible AnneXa-
tiOn of Hawaii by England.
1t Has Merit of Feasibility But Lacks
Element of Probability.

Boston, May 22 Mail advices received
in Boston from Honolulu says: 1t has
leaked out that the proposed visit of Hon.
5. NJ. Damon Major -Iauka- to Len
don, has far deeper significance than
the bearing of the congratulations of
the Hawaiian government on the occasion
of the queens jubilee. 1t seems TO be
an undisguised fact that the movements at
the United States capital at Washington
in connection with the sugar schedule of
the tariff bill are intended TO abrogate the
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty and the
greatest CONSERVATION is felt IN the
islands. The outcome of this agitation
for the practical IL not the actual abro
CATION of the treaty, has an interest not
wholly devoid of meaning and the Ha-
waiian government has for weeks past
maintained careful agents at the seat of
the American government.
These agents are wholly apart from the
Hawaiian legation, occupy quarters ut n
considerable distance from the legation
and hold little or no communication with
Minister Hatch. At this agency the action
of the United States officials are noted
closely and IL Is now stated in certain
circles in this city, that the true mission
Of Minister Damon and Major Iauka 10
London Is. i'm the event of the success of
the attempt 20 overthrow reciprocity, to
prOcceu NJ OnCe lO lHe ueSOllhllbnS III u
treaty for the cessiOn Of the Hawaiian
Islands to Great Britain. 1t is stated,
however, that no step toward this end
will be made unless the abrogation Of the
reciprocity treaty should become "a fixed
fact In this event the Hawaiian agents
at Washington have Instructions to con
vcy the intelligence at once by cable
under cypher To the ENJOYS at London
who will proceed instantly TO execute
their true commission
In this connection it is pointed out that
Notwithstanding the repeated dcnials 10y
the japanese legation, both at Honolulu
and at Washington, the prospect of
Japanese aggressions in the islands Is
very real. The temper of the japanese
population in the islands and the tone of
the japanese native prcSS are proofs of this
and i'm the event of the abrogation of the
treaty with the United States this situa
tion would resolve itself into question
of japanese or British domination and
there could be but one choice.
On the other haud GIelL- Britain is
ready and eager To absorb the island into
the empire and but the slightest hint
coming from the Hawaiian government
that such procedure would DC acceptable
To II would be instantly acted upon.
The belief is general here that England
and Hawaii hold the trump cards In the
Pacific. and should the reciprocity treaty
be oycrthrown at Washington it iS be-
lieved that within twenty-fcur hours
Great Britain would step in.
While the personal sympathieS OF
Hawaii rs we'll as her present commercial
interests are bound up in the American
republic, in this event she would have no
choice, as japanese domination In the
island would have to be prevented at all
hazards.

FRANCE AND SIAM.

Blood has been Shed in an Actual
Conflict.
New York, August IA dispatch
to the Herald from Bangkok, Siam,
says: The reports of conflict be-
tween the French and Siamese troops
at Muang Lem, near Klang Hung,
on the Mekong river, are absolutely
correct. They are based on reports
received at the Siamese foreign office.
The French forces were commanded
by Inspector Martin.
The Siamese legation was ordered
month ago to protest against French
aggression. As long, however, as the
king is in Europe the Siamese lega-
ton will contradict reports of fric-
ton between France and Siam.

Wall. The erstwhile king of the dudes
is once more ON the high road to pros

when the name was conjure. Where
ever society was, there was Berry
Wall or to speak more correctly,
wherever Berry Wall was, there was
society.
Then there came change. Berry
Wall in the parlance went broke"
He sold his horses. He parted with
many of his diamonds and then went
to work
Now comes the news that he is a
winner once more. Quietly he has
been playing the stock markets and
fortune has not only smiled, but
has beamed on him.
A few hundred have been run into
thousands and now it is said he pos
sesses goodly fortune. But there
in one other thing. Berry Wall is no
longer the liking of dudes" He no
longer leads the germans, sets New
port agog by the gorgeousness of his
apparel or strikes terror to the plung-
ers on the turf. Instead, he has set
tied down into a stald business man
and once more, in the yernacular, is

A KLoNDIKE COMPANY.

Yankee Brick Maker Drives a Keen
Trade With His Hands.
New York, Aug. IA special to the
World from Plaistown, n. H., says:
Mr.. Peetvin, wealthy brick manu-
facturer here, has formed a company
of his employees to go TO the Klondike
He will close his brick works while
the party is gone.
Mr.. Peetvin is greatly interested in
the newspaper accounts of the finds
in the Klondike, and the stories of the
lucky ones who returned tended to in
crease his interest. He proposed his
plan to his employees and twenty-five
of them eagerly accepted his PROPOSE
ton.
Each one of the party agreed to sign
a contract, which is that Mr.. Peetvin
shall pay all the expenses of the trip
and furnish all the provisions for the
party for one year. In consideration
the members of the company agree
to work in the gold fields and give Mr..
Peetvin one-half of their finds.
After the year they are at liberty
to shift for themselves.

On hearing this. the prisoner, who
expected TO be shot like OIner anar-
chists, looked startled and Mortified.
The counsel for the defense read a
brief argument. attempting to show
that his client was insane and implor-
ing the mercy of the judges.
The president then asked the pris-
oner what he had to say. He stood
up and began in clear voice, with
resolute mien, a speech aiming to show
that he had not been an ordinary MUIR
derer, but a political agitator and
avenger of his fellow anarchists who
were shot and tormented at Barcelo-
ma.
The president promptly ordered him
to sit down, despite his protests and
gesticulations. His flashing eyes and
countenance gave strange aspect TO
his haggard features, uncOmbed beard
and slight figure, as the guards led him
away to solitary confinement in the
Vergara prison, where Angiollo will
hear nothing of the outer world or see
anybody but the priests.

Ihis university" says Mr. Walker,
has been an idea of mine for a num-
Der of years. As one result of the in
terest in an thought on education
which have long engaged me it
could not be undertaken, however,
without having at its head man of
position. While was longing for the
man the letter of the trustees of
Brown university to President An

to Providence and saw DR.. Andrews
and he has definitely decided to accept
the presidencT of the Cosmopolitan
university.
HE has already begun work by ap-
pointing the following members of the

ought to dispose effectually of the in

Politics does not enter into it at all.
The methods of the university so
far as worked out will be as follows:
a student will forward to the univer-
sity his name and address and the
purpose for which education is sought
by and the studies which the appii-
cant desires to pursue. Each such
statement will go to DR.. Andrews.
He will map out of the course of
study which he deems the best posi-
bic for the applican in the light of |
the Information conveyed. He will |
then dispatch his own diagnosis Of the
applicants case and the prescription
therefore the most eminent authority |
on that particular study with whom
he is acquainted. This expert will re-
wise the course and the accompanying
instructions and will return the docu-
ment to President Andrews"

CHAMPION BOB CHALLENGED.
Gus Rhulin, Madden's Latest Find
After His Scalp.

Gus Rhulin, Madden's Latest Find
After His Scalp.
New York, Aug. 17.-Champion Bob
Fitzsimmons has been challenged by
Billy Madden in behalf of Billy's lat
est find, Gus Rubin, of Akron, Ohio.
The latter has done very little in the
prize ring and how he comes to issue
a challenge to Lanky Bob is a mys-
terry. The only engagement that Rub
line has ever figured prominently in
was the meeting with Big Jeffries in
California, which was decided a draw.
Madden says he means to force Bob
into a match or claim the champion
ship. To show that he means bust
ness Madden has posted the sum of
$500.
In the event FitZsimmons refuses 10
notice Madden's challenge Billy will
claim the title of heavyweight cham
pion and will have big belt made
