THE AMERICAN CUP
Dunraven Has Not Forgotten His
Defeat and Disgrace

LONDON, Aug. 4-The papers are =.
lively discussing Sir Thomas Upton
challenge for the Americas cup. The daily
Chronicle says:
1.-The approval of the royal yacht squad
ron is doubtful. The squadron authorities
desire conditions attached to the challenge
which will inevitably appear ungracious to
the American people Apparently the Earl
of Dunraven is not without voice in the
matter, although it is difficult to see where
his claim comes in"
The Daily Telegraph says:
"Bygones should be bygones. Let us start
with clean sheet. 1t Is in this spirit tina,
everyone will consider and applaud the
challenge. Sir Thomas Liptons popular
ity in the United States will doubtless dc
much to smooth away difficulties, and
there can be but little doubt that the royal
yacht squadron will approve the challenge
When the challenge has been accepted the
building OF the yacht will begin"
The Cowes correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says:
"Yachtsmen feel that an alteration
should be made In the conditions under
which the race is sailed, and IL that is pos
sible they would be glad should contest
occur"

EpiScopalianS in Hawaii

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 4-The Chroni-
Gle says: a perplexing question has arisen
among Protestant Epscopalians In this
country regarding the future government
of the Hawaiian branch of the church.
AT present the island diocese is In charge
of Bishop Willis of the established church
OF England and has no direct affiiation
with the Protestant Episcopal Church of
the United States 1t is believed, how
ever among high church authorities that
as result of the annexation of the islands
the Epscopalans there will be brought
into direct relations with the American
church, and that the diocese of the Pacific
islands will perhaps be merged into the
diocese of California.
