Under international law the annexa-

a new treaty between the United

A Protest from Japan.

WAsHINGToN, June 16.-Before the
signature of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty the secretary of state, Mr.. Sher-
man, was presented formal protest
10y the Japanese government, through
its legation here, against the consum-
NATION of the agreement. The protest
Is supposed to be based on appre-
hension that the special treaties now
. existing between Japan, and under
which the Japanese now enjoy advan-
. tages, will be affected injuriously by
, complete annexation.
Minister Hoshi of Japan declined to
be seen about Japan'S protest, and Sec
retary Mutsu refused to discuss the
matter in any way, but it is learned
that the Japanese protest was made in
person to the state department by Min
ister Hoshi.
TIE HAwAIIANs SURPRISED.
The news of the protest was a great
surprise to the Hawaiian legation, and
as soon as intelligence of it was OBJ
tanned Minister Hatch started out to
learn the particulars. The essential
point as to the protest, it is said at the
E.waiian legation, is. whether the
protest is against the annexation of
Hawaii or is merely protest reserv-
iag to Japan all her rights under the
: existing treaty with Hawaii. 1t is be-
/ .ieved that it is the latter.

CHURCH FOR JAPANESE
NEW BUILDING WILL HOLD FIVE
HUNDRED PEOPLE.
To Cost About $500. Including the
Dollars Subscribed Already-Plans.

Another church is to be built in Ho-
nolulu and this time by the active
band of japanese Christians working
under the Methodist Board. 1t is pos
itiyely remarkable how successful the
Hawaiian and Methodist boards have
been in their iabors among The Orient
ais on these islands. These mission
aries are meeting +he great Oriental
question face to face and are being
rewarded in their efforts by the con
version of hundreds of japanese and
Chinese.
1t will be remembered that few
years ago the Methodist Board left the
Hawaiian field open to the Hawaiian
Board, but couple of years ago when
the work grew so enormous, that
Board re-entered the field and have
been conducting their energies among
the japanese entirely.
Now Japanese church and mission
house for Honolulu is an immediate
necessity and already a movement has
been inaugurated for the construction
of an edifce that will cost about $500,
including the building lot. II. Kihara,
the japanese pastor in Honolulu, has
in less than three weeks time raised
sum of over $1,000 from the japanese
Christians in the community. Their
members are few and their ability en-
| tirely inadequate carry out the
undertaking alone, and the people of
Hawaii, America and Japan who are
interested in this work have been ap-
pealed to for help in this enterprise.
The plans for the new building will
be drawn by Ripley & Dickey. 1t will
have seating capacity for 400 or 500
people and wilt probably be so by so
feet. 1t is the plan of the presiding
elder of the Japanese WORK in Hawaii
to make this the. headquarters for the
most important feature of the pro-
posed new edifice is that it will be
used for school purposes during the
week There will also be a social hall,
Sunday school rooms and other i'm
| provements. A home for the pastor
and teachers will be built on the lot.
The lot has not been selected as yet.
1t is the desire of the Board to Sc
cure a central location, if possible.

odist Board-H. Kihara, G. Hiraga

MANY JAPANESE CONVERTS
WORK OF REV. NJ. G. HARRIS IN
HAWAII. -
What Is Being Done in Christian
Way Among the Japanese-Metho-
dist Episcopal Church and Missions.

About the time that this Govern
ment was wrestling with the knotty
Japanese problem just recently
brought to issue, there came to Ho-
nolulu an elderly gentleman who is
devotiDg his life's work among the
japanese colonies in Hawaii and CAL
ifornia. He is the Rev. NJ. c. Harris.
p E., of San Francisco, who is in
charge of the japanese missions of the
California conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
1t has been some two years since
Rev. Mr. Harris visited these shores
and he was greatly surprised at the
enormous increase in population in
the japanese colony here. He was
also pleased to learn that considerable
headway had been made both by the
Hawaiian and Methodist boards in
turning the japanese from their idols
to serve the living God. For 1896 the
record of the Methodist board alone
shows 1S5 conversions and 40 bap-
tisms.

safest plan is to 'set" the color before

One Of the best methods of setting
delicate colors is also the cheapest and
least troublesome. 1t consists in simply
making a strong brine of cold water
and salt and soaking the garment from

A strong solution Of alum and water
is good, particularly with blues and the

ABOUT BICYCLE ACCIDENTS
Uncertain Risks Taken by the Acct
dent Assurance Companies.
Nearly Ten Thousand Accidents Every Year
In the United States and Canada
,. ScorChing Denounced.

Accident Assurance, a journal
whose title denotes what it is de
voted to, has been studying the
bicycle risk question. 1t read
5000 papers to get at the facts and
now announces that during Aug
ust there were 1850 cases of acci-
dents in the United States. This
it thinks is only about Is per cent.
Of those which actually happened.
Assuming this basis to be correct,
there were 9666 bicycle accidents
in the States and Canada in
August last. We note that
Canada is credited with 81 ont
of the 1450. This is certainly very
far below the mark, as. there were
more than that number in one of
our cities. Out of the 1850, As
we're fatal, and 4S expect d to re-
suit fatally. That is, out of each
33 accidents, one, as a rule, results
fatally. If this estimate is even
so per cent. too high, the fatal
bicycle accidents in the States and
Cauada, during the season, mum
ber five per cent. A considerable
proportion Of the fatalities were
not accidents, but deaths from
ailments produced by the exercise,
such as, paralysis of the heart,
bursting a blood vessel, aud so on,
A large number of accidents of
dangerous nature were from
scorching, coastipg and racing.
There is no question but that
"scorching" has developed a form
of lupacy; the victim rushes heed
lessly along, reckless of his life
and limbs, and the life and limbs
of others, for no intelligent pur-
pose whatever. A scorcher is con-
trolIed by a mauiacal impulse,
which calls for the control of the
police, and a punishment adopted
to restrain Others from giving way
to this very dangerous habit.
So far as the accident in
sursnce companies are utter
ested, they are in position of
much uncertain risk. They can
not tell what style of wheel an in
sured person rides, nor what roads
he will run over, nor by whom he
will be accompanied, nor whom
be will meet, nor what will be the
length of his trips, nor speed at
which he will travel. Y.t each
one of these poiuts bears directly
upon the risk of a bicyclist who
holds an accident assurance
policy.
