Bishop Willis Advances a New Idea Re
garding Hawaiian Annexation.
PLYMOUTH, Eng, June lS.-Bishop
Willis of Honolulu has just arrived here
from Hawaii. In an interview, he is
quoted as saying that the feeling in the
islands is against the United States and
greatly in favor of British annexation.
Continuing, Bishop Willis said that
he thought that if Great Britain would
not take the country, the next best
course was for Japan to reinstate Queen
Liliuokalani.
Referring to the proposed annexation
of the islands by the United States, the
bishop said the proposal was only adj
vanced in order to please certain politi.
clans, as America did not want the
islands, "because the Chinese exclusion
act would become nullitied if Hawaii
was annexed"
In conclusion, the bishop is quoted as
saying that there is no doubt that japan
will enforce her claims in Hawaii, il
which country her commercial prospect:
are good.

Miss Bergen is wel-known to the press
sing, Mich, where her father now re-
sides. She was divorced from her first
husband, Mr. Carter Brush, in 1892 From
80 To 96 she workedin in New York where,
according TO a certificate in her pos
session, she was married to the ViCompte
Arnonth George Langlois de Drummer, in
April. 1896, the witnesses being Mrs
Margaret ConkIin and Miss Anna Hun
nekuhl the minister Rev. G. NJ. Shott.
Miss Bergen was i'll at the time of her
marriage, which was secret. Her uncle,
WHO had been taking n kindly interest in
her, had her removed to sanitarium, a
fact which was unknown to the husband.
From the sanitalium she came to Wash
ingtoa last winter, apparently having lost
all recollection of what occurred during
her sickness. About q month ago, ac-
Corlng to her account, it all came back
to her Sire acquainted her mother with
the facts and requested that they De pub
lshed. This was done, and Miss Bergen
attempted 10 re-enter the journalistic field.
She broke down again. Her mind became
affected, and among the first Of her mag
inings was that she had mission to Cuba,
where, she said, she Tecollected she said
her husband was going.
Her friends feared that restraint would
change her eccentricity into madness, and
this is what the commissioners believe
has occurred.

MISS BERGEN'S SANITY
A Writ Asked for to Investigate
Her Case.
The Young Lady at ST. EIizabeth's
Asylum on the Advice of Rela-
tivcs and Her Physician.

Miss Helen Corinne Bergen, whose event
full career was recently published, at her
request, is now at st. Elizabeth's Asylum
The Commissioners of the District peti-
toned yesterday for writ to INQUIRE
into the lunacy of this lady who, they be-
lieye, is a lunatic of homicidal and other
wise dangerous tendencies The writ
which was asked for Yesterday further
expresses the belief of the Commissioners
that Miss Bergen ''has been a lunatic since
1897" AS usual, the process is signed
by the three Commissioners and s. T.
Thomas, their solicitor. The inquiry will
be proceeded with as promptly as the
emergency requires.
The circumstances under which Miss
Bergen has been made the subject Of this
inquiry are as follows: on Sunday after
noon n week ago she was at the house of
an old friend on PennS Sylvania avenue
She had been there frequently. both So
Cially and on business and had been act
ing in such manner as to indicate that
she was deranged. While with these
friends and before arriving at the house,
she had torn her hair and cut up parts of
her dress into shreds. Her brother, who
is in business here, and her family physi-
clan were sent for, and it was deemed
best under the circumstances to send her
to the Emergency Hospital. She was ac.
compa MED there by her brother, her physi-
clan and DR.. Hall, Of the hospital. The
superintendent of the hospital was very
kind and cOnSiderate
Every attention was paid to the pa
tient and she was comparatively quiet,
but there was no doubt in the mind Of
the superintendent that Miss Bergen's
mind was under such tension that 1t any
moment she might become violently insane.
She realized on Monday that she was i'm
prisoned, and when the nurse left the
room she barred the door with every
| thing she could move in the room.
On Monday and on Tuesday one Of her
hallucinations was that she was in Cuba
| fighting the Spanish army. Previous to
her being sent to the hospital she had
| forwarded a telegram to President Nc
Kinley, then at Canton, asking him poll
tics aside if he would aid the insurgents.
| This was regarded at the time as an
| eccentricity or perhaps deep interest
| in the cause from the fact that she believes
| her absent husband who disappeared mys-
| teriously from New ork last spring, went
| to Cuba to join the insurgent army. This
| Cuban idea was constantly in her mind
| Sometimes she would say that she was
cutting up her dress for bandages for the
| wounded and, at other times, for flags foI
| the patriots.
On Monday she asked for stationery and
| writing material. With these she made
diagrams Of imaginery battlefields in Cuba
| and wrote notes to prominentpersons. One
| of these was to Secretary Olney. She sait
| that she had thrown it out of the window
| where it was received by messenger and
taken to the State Department
On last Tuesday morning week age
her friends thought it best to remove the
