JAPAN WANTS HAWAII.
Real Reason of Protest Against Annexa-
ton by the United States.

Real Reason of Protest Against Annexa-
ton by the United States.
Washington, June 25.-Hawaiians in
Washington insist that the reason for
the protest of Japan against annexation
is that Japan really desires to acquire
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 provision that it may
be terminated at any time by mutual
consent.
This is construed by the Japanese
government to mean that the treaty can
not be terminated without the consent
of both governments, and as long as
Japan insists upon 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 dissolved 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 claims must be ac-
knowledged and accepted by the United
States in case of annexation, although
protesting against annexation.

The Swedes who urged the appoint.
ment of w. W. Thomas of Maine as
minister to Norway and Sweden, and
who were assured that Mr.. Thomas
would in due time receive the appoint
ment, are now asking the president tc
make the appointment before September
Ernst Lundgren, the head of a Swedish
organization in New York, called or
the president recently, in company with
Congressman Hurley of Brooklyn. Mr..
Lurdgren explained to the president that
the 25th anniversary of the accession OF
King Oscar of the Swedish throne will
be celebrated in September. 1t is the
intention of the Swedes of this country
to present their former king with mag
nificent silver set. They want Mr..
Thomas to make the presentation and
would like to see him nominated as min
lister in time to perform that honor. The
president has a high opinion of King
Oscar, and if the favor asked will crafty
the Swedes it will be granted. 1t was
some time ago decided that Mr.. Thomas
would succeed Minister Ferguson, but
owing to the. latter's service to the Re.
publican ticket in the last campaign il
was desired to let him remain as min.
lister for a time.

An official announcement is again
made that the president has no intention
of going into the appointment of consuls
until the close of the congressional ses.
sion and that the recent appointments
are special and to fill vacancies. The
president some time ago told every sen.
ator and representative that the consul
ships would not be taken up until toward
the adjournment of congress. The con-
gressmen so informed their constituents
who were here and about to come here
in pursuit of the seductive, but elusive
foreign appointments. By degrees the
candidates here were induced to go home
and those about to come on were induced
to stay home. Then, a few weeks ago
the president nominated a few consuls
to fill vacancies. kilograms and letters
flew thick and fast to congressman, and
the consul hunting brigade again made
preparations for a descent on Washing
ton.

as this number is the bulletin states that
it must fall far short of the actual num-
Der of victims.
The following table shows the num-
Der of deaths from sunstroke during
August, 1895, as reported by the
health officials: Boston, g. New York,
726 Brooklyn, 319; Philadelphia, 81;
Baltimore, 90 Washington, SO; Worces-
ter, Mass, 4; Rochester 2; Buffalo, 2;
Pittsburg, 5; Cincinnati, 10; Columbus

New Orleans, 1; Phoenix, Ariz., 1; total
1917. Add newspapers, 207; add special
reports, IA; total, 2038.
The greatest number of fatal cases oc-
Cured in the week ending Aug. 15 the
aggregate number being 1924.
From the given table it is concluded:
(a) That the number of sunstrokes fol-
lows more closely the excess of the tenn
perature above the normal than it does
that of any other meteorologic condition;
CD that the number of sunstrokes does
not appear to sustain any definite rela-
ton to the relative humidity, the maxi
mum fatalities having occurred in one
region with a relative humidity above
the average, and in the other region with
a relative humidity decidedly below
the average; Co that although the alb
solute humidity was greatest during the
maximum of sunstrokes, yet it does not
appear that the variations influenced the
number of cases.
AS a provisional index to the "sun-
stroke temperature" of each climate,
the author proposes the use of the aver
age or normal maximum daily Temporal
lures during the warm season of the
year, and as a working hypothesis de-
rived therefrom submits the following
proposition: "SunstrOke becomes i'm
minent during the summer months, when
the mean temperature of any one day.
or of several consecutive days, becomes
equal, or nearly equal, to the normal
maximum temperature for the same
period"
One item gathered from the reports, but
not shown by this table, is that only Is of
these cases were colored people, and the
among them was 2. AS to
sex 100 cases were females. So far as
occupation was concerned, all walks OF
life were represented, but the greater
number of cases occurred among those
engaged in occupations apparently re
quiring physical rather than intellectual
effort.

Senator Proctor of Vermont and Col

dent Mckinley the other day. The

Mosby are always of a pleasant char

In close proximity to Mosby and his war
riors. The Vermont senator told the
president that Mosby caused him a good
many uneasy moments. Notwithstand-
ing this he. was willing that Mosby
should have a good place in the consular
service. Colonel Mosby wants good

Colonel Mosby and the only question
has been the place to be given him.
