obtained his diploma, in 1889. DR.. Edwards
was a college wag. Possessed of a fund of
good nature, witty loyal and generous, he
was a hail fellow well met. At all the uni
versity functions he was a conspicuous
and necessary figure. He was alive to the
pranks of the "horse-players." and early in
his college course he earned the sobriquet
of Horse Edwards. In the burlesque
games in the college minstrel, in all the
tricks of university life, he was leading
character. The professors loved him and
were amused at his innocent pranks. The
graduates saw in him splendid exponent
of college life, and the undergraduates
made him their leader and companion.
He left college in the spring of 1889 and
subsequently he entered the medical de-
Vania where he was graduated with hon
ors. After a brief service in the Presby-
terrain Hospital in Philadelphia he went to
Johns Hopkins University and began the
study of tuberculosis While there he was

terest in the event is only sentimental.
The Morning Post, on the contrary, says:
President Mckinley should be satisfied to
shelve the matter, now that ne has brought
II before the public. Japan is not likely to
consent without a struggle England will
require a quid pro quo and the AFFAIR will
scarcely escape the notice of the Austral-
asians'
The Daily News admits that the United
states has a superior claim and expects
that the japanese protest will be merely
diplomatic.

Comments of London Editors on the
Annexation Movement.

LONDON, June 7.-Most of the morning
papers contain editorials on the proposed
annexation of Hawaii. The Times says :
The United States government has made
a new departure from its historical policy.
Such an acquisition of foreign dependencies
will bring of necessity a new and serious
foreign policy, which cannot in all cases
be determined by an unlimited application
of Monroeism. Will America pursue the
colonizing course upon which she has now
entered? President Mckinley tries hard to
represent the case as wholly exceptional
but the forces tending in an opposite direc-
ton are very strong

better off under the American government

will soon build fleet to protect their coli

Of Appeals to-day decided one branch of
the old Fidelity National Bank case of
Cincinnati. Involving 1881. 900. The question
IN the case was whether the creditors of the
Fidelity Bank or creditors of the Swift iron
and steel works at Newport should have
1851 900 worth of the assets of the steel
works. The court decides that the steel
works drew the money from the tank by
order of Harper. who was president of
both, and that Harper himself ana not the
steel works having received the money so
drawn. the creditors of the bank must look
to Harper and his bondsmen and not the
steel works for reimbursement, unless 1t
can be proven that the steel works actually
used the money in its business
