LONDON, Jan. 25.-The desire OF the
English people to know all the details
Of tho official and private life of their
royal family will be partially ap-
peased by the publication in Lon
don this week of the first complete
biography of the Prince OF Wales.
~Singularly enough, no complete rec.
ord of the remarkably active and di-
versiticd career of the heir to tho
throne has been given to the world
before. Attempts In this direction
have been discouraged by the subject
himself, and tho present book fur
nishes internal evidences tina. it was
not compiled under the royal sanction,
for, while it breathes the spirit of the
courticr rather than the critic it re
cords such episodes as the famous
b%accarrat trial, which the prince would
probably be willing for the public to
forget.
The authorship OF the new book is
concealed from the public, but 1t is

GOVERNORS ON, HAWAII.
Lsedy OF Kansas for Annexation
OppoS8d.


NEW York, Jan. 25.-The Herald
mas obtained the views of some Of the
governors Of states on the subject Of
annexation OF, uawpii as follows:
A''Governor Lcedy Of Kunsas-I be-,
lievc the Hawaiian islands should be
annexed by the United States for
these reasons: Within a short time n
canal will be built across the Isthmus
OF Panama. This canal should be con-
trolled and governed by the United
States. The nation having possession
Of these islands will command the
road to that canal. and will also pos.
scss the key to the Pacific ocean from
n maritime standpoint My belief IS
that IL we allow Hawaii to slip out Of
our fingers now, within lfty years our
necessities would compel w to fight to
get possession of the islands and,
therefore 1t seems to me to be good
policy to get them while we can in
peace.
Governor Stephens OF Missouri
Am opposed To the annexation OF the
Hawaiian islands, but cannot explain
my position satisfactorily in an inter
view.
Governor Holcomb Of Nebraska
am opposed to Hawaiian Ration.
For u century IL has been the we'll de-

as a pretext to appeal to the militar

his backsliding, resigned himself TO

of the Congregational ministry, shook
hands with the chastcners and ended
by declaring that he vas glad Of it all.
DIR. Brown said: IA small part OF
the accusations aimed at mo were
true. For any wrong which j had
done ! had sought forgiveness both OF

fore was publicly accused. No ac-

the Bay conference and in every ono
of his voice there was u trcmulous
plea for mercy. After the conference
had rendered its decision of expulsion

The Brown scandal, which has had

1895 when Mrs. Mary a. Davidson was
arrested on a charge of extortion
made by DIR. Brown, pastor Of the
fashionable First Congregational
church in San Francisco. She was u
worker in the church, though not u
member. The essential allegation was
that lie had given her $500 TO keep
quiet about an alleged intimacy with
Miss Overman of Tacoma. Wash, who
had visited at Browns house.
After an exciting trial Mrs. David
son was acquitted. The inference
from the testimony being that Brown
was guilty the congregational council
investigated him. Brown made q
hard tight and the hearing was even
more replcte with sensational incl
dents than the Davidson trial had
been. The investigation resulted in q
partial acquittal, but SO much noto-

Browns continued term Of the pastor

engendered between his supporters
and his opponents,

denounced as false and which was not
generally believed. Brown secured q
Chicago charge and then appealed TO
the Bay conference of California for a
reopening of his case. This was de-
MED and Brown appealed to the
mutual conference OF the Congrega-
tional church. After a review of tho
case a dubious finding was returned,
the Bay conference being upheld, but
the original charge ignored. The af-
fair has assumed various other aspects
