SPEAKING Of the arrest and trial of
Registrars Thompson and Wall at
Winston, the NeaOs md Observer says:
The farce of trial of white regis
trar in Winston, inaugurated by
Federal otlicc-holders, is an attempt

local affairs. The trial in Winston is
one more reason why voters should
favor the amendment-to put an end
to negro and Federal domination.

the welfare of North Carolina. There

NATIVE JAPANESE NURSES.

One OF the features OF the japanese hospital snip

General Convention OF the Protestant Episcopal
Church, to be held in 1901 will be the disposition
be made OF the diocese OF Honolulu, which naturally
comes under the Jurisdiction OF the American
Church. The diocese was established In 1851 by a
special organization formed in England. Bishop
Alfred Willis, the present Bishop was consecrated
in 1872
On February 5. 1899. he applied for renewal of
certain grants for the year 1900 He argued that
cession OF the islands to the United States had no
effect on the Church there, far the Anglican
Church was concerned Further correspondence be-
tween Bishop Willis. the Archbishop OF Canterbury
and the officers OF the society followed, with the
suit that the Archbishop of Canterbury expressed
the opinion that the English mission should be
Withdrawn from the islands and that arrange
ment should be made transfer the diocese 10 the
Episcopal Church in the United States The society
agreed to continue Its grant up June 1890.
In the mean time Bishop Willis wrote TO the soci-
