Weerner, Jr. Healed Wound of Heart. From the Medical Record. At the London Clinical Society Mr. W. G. Spencer recently showed a specimen of healed wound of the heart. The patient had been stabbed in four places, and was ad- mitted pulseless ard unconscious. Infusion of saline fluid, etc., was employed, and he went cn well for a week. Then hemorrhage occurred, and Mr. Spencer passed his finger through the wound in the second left inter- ccstal space, and touched q.large vessel with low tension and a whirring current with each systole. The wound was firmly plugged. The plugging had to be renewed again end again, on account of fresh bleed- ing and the plug becoming extruded. By the twenty-seventh day the plug was all pushed out, and only a superficial wound remeined. This healed in six weeks from the accident, and nothing abnormal was heard in the chest, except a faint mur- mur, as in anaemia. The patient continued weak and anaemic, but attended a long trial, and eventually sank exhausted sey- enty-nine days after the injury. At the pest-mortem, the scar in the left intercostal Space was seen to correspond with another in the per! ‘dium, and this again with a Enear depressed scar, five millimeters long, on the surface of the right ventricle. Then opposite to this, on the endocardium, was a fine bluish line. This was thought to be the scar of a firmly healed perforation of the ventricle, and was just below the pulmon- ary valves. There was no sign of any other vessel being wounded, and no clot inside or outside the heart or great vessels. The only question raised was whether the wea- pon had actually penetrated the endocardl- tm (the sear on which wes very fine) and the hemorrhage came from a Peach ot the coronary. quest sul was mentioned, but Mr. Spencer said it was dif- ficult to fix the direction of the wound.

The Central boys won the first game by 16-0. The second game wes protested by the Eastern boys, and subsequently thrown out. ‘The first game was onesided. The Centra} boys had everything their own way, out- weighing the Eastern boys by fifteen pounds. In the second game the Eastern team showed great improvement, and as the- boys have been under good coaching, will make a better showing than in last Central hen the score stood 8-6 in favor of Since the second game the Centrals prac- ticed hard, and will undoubtedly put up an excellent game.

Jolly (Czpt.) Oyster... Intimation That the Blue Will Be Seen in the Poughkeepsie Race. The first intimation that Yale would row in a race in which Cornell was a competitor has just come from New Haven. A promi- nent Yale graduate, who is a decided factor in intercollegiate athletics, is quoted in the following language: “I think that the outcome of the thing will be Yale and Harvard will meet in the intercollegiate race at Poughkeepsie, and that the other competitors will be Cornell, Pennsylvania and Columbia. Harvard will hardly row Yule a separate race, and Yale will hardly agree to meet Corneil in a trian- gular race. Harvard will likely agree to secure Yale's entrance into the Poughkeep- sie race or to row Yale alone. Yale will consent, and Harvard will make Yale's en- trance into the quadrangular race the con- dition for her own entrance.” If Yale does agree to enter the four-crew race on the Hudson, it will be a satisfac- tory solution of a problem that is troubling at least five universities. Harvard is as eager to defeat Cornell as Yale, and does not want to row two races. Cornell has agreed to row Columbia and Pennsylvania, and has also a two-year agreement to Tow Harvard. Cornell prefers. one long race to two, Pennsylvania has agreed to row Cor- nell, but she has established cordial rela- tions with Harvard, and would like to row the crimson’s crew. Columbia is eager to wipe out this year's defeat by Cornell, and would also like to show her old rivals, Yale and Harvard, that she is just as good at the oar as in days of old. is reunion of the five boatin will restore several customary evente. eee instance, in 18$1 Columbia and Harvard egreed to row in elghts over the Thames four-mile course at New London. There Were seven annual races. Then, in 1880 Harvard and Columbia agreed to row an €ight-oared freshman race annually over a two-mile course. Yale subsequently en- tered. Yale and Pennsylvania made an agreement in 1886 to row in eights over the New London course, and four annual events took place, when the affair was given up. In 1889 Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania began a series of annual races in eights. Cornell has kept these up with one or the other institutions ever since. Last summer four of the old-time rivals met at Poughkeepsie, and the finest boat race ever rowed in America resulted. The eights finishing first and second broke the record for the distance, an unprece- dented accomplishment. The Cornell and Harvard crews took first position among college oarsmen, and it conceded that Yale was obliged to defeat them to secure the leader's position. It is doubtless a sense of this obligation that is intimating that the New Haven boys will be seen on the Hudson next summer, appearing again in an intercollegiate regatta for the first time since 1875. C. Lehman, the English coach, who has had the Harvard University crew un- der his training since his arrival at Cam- bridge November 11, yesterday sailed for Europe. Mr. Lehman said he would be Feady to return in March, when he would again take up the coach! of the eight, and added: = « “I can say that I think the crew is in very good trim, composed of good material, and in the few weeks that I have been coaching it a great deal of improvement has been made in the style and strength of the stroke.” - SECOND TEAM BOWLING.

ST. LOUIS, December 15.—Mr.. Thomas Francis Xavier Dowd, manager and cap- tain of the ‘St. Louis base ball team, ts & base ball player [By profession, 2 hand- some man, according to the ladies, and a Pugtlistic impersonator. £ The last thing Mr. Dowd has done to warrant the use of. name ts that he tm- Personated, and quitg)successfully,’too, Mr. Thomas Sharkey, @ pugilist who has earned feme by winning Pghts in which he was knocked ouf. - Mr. Dowd ts an ete. As a ball player too strong to work in he is too rich an the winter time. Consequently he finds himself growirg fat*at times. It was that way with him the other night. He stepped on the scales in an uptown resort and found that he weighed two pounds more than his schedule called for. Alarmed lest Chris Von der Ahe should fine him for being overweight in the off season, he “ducked” for the Turkish baths at the Planters’ Hotel.’ With him went his friend “the enemy,” Captain and Manager William Joyce of the New York Giants. When clad for the bath Dowd shows up like a house on: fire in the middle of a prairie. He does not look very big in his street garb, but when he dispenses with his garments he is a small edition of San- dow with a few pages of Corbett thrown in. “Gee!” said a fellow who had a red look in his eyes to Billy Joyce. “That duck has a muscle cn him. I wouldn't care about robbing the train’ that he was on.” “You are right there, pal,” said Joyce. “You would be dead out of luck to tackle him. Maybe you do not tumble to who he is?” . “No?” interrogatlvely. ‘You appear to be all right,” said Joyce, “and, seeing it's you, I don't mind telling you. That's Shurkey, the pugilist. He is passing through cn his way to New York city to fight Mater and Corbett in the same ring.” He was was sobering opened his eyes wider than he had since they had nessed the very last rat swallow the big boa constrictor and that swailowed the black dog that used to come to the bed- side with his fangs apparent. “Is that so?” he repeated in wonder- ment. “Sure thing,” said Joyce, “but don’t tip it off. He would be dead sore if he knew that J gav> it away and like as not would lick both of ‘us.” The man who was say- ing good-tye to the remnants of his jag walked away very’ solemnly and wis2ly. Joyce walked in the rubbing room and told Dowd what he had done. The ball player laughed and determined to carry it through. He was quickly sur- rounded by a score of men who eyed him in wonder. Charley Field, the night clerk at the hotel, finally bolstered up enough courage to ask “Sharkey” how Fitzsim- snons fouled him. “Foul me? Why, man, alive, he fouled me*worse> than all the chickens in the country.” Then he gave them a detailed account of how the battle was fought and a realistic expositicn of the foul, using Mr. Field_as a lay figure to iMustrate the matter. For all of which Mr. Field felt highly honored. The crowd was reinforced by all the night hawks around the hetel. Every sleeper in the baths was awakened to get a look at Sharkey. Thev pressed around him, felt of his muscle and criticised him in audible voices. The questions were innumerable. They wanted to know this and that, to all of which Sharkey’ made answer in grut tones. One gentleman insisted that Billy Joyce was Referee Karp! without his mustache, and openly charged him with collusion with Sharkey and’ robbing Fitzsimmons: who, he declared; was the better man “Look at bim,” he appealed, referring to Joyze, “and if he does not look like a berder rvffian and a gambler I will treat the crowd. By this time the news had percolated to the newspaper offices. Two reporters rushed into the hotel and asked for the fighter. They werg referred to the baths. When they drifted in they saw the crowd of which Dowd was the center and cyni sure. Rightly concluding that Sharke was the topic of discussion, they walked up. “Say, Tommy,” said the leader, “I hear that Sharkey is here. Do you know any- thing of him?” The crowd smiled: “You're a nice sport- ing man,” said one of them. “Don't you know that you are talking to Mr. Sharkey now? Why, I thought you were so wise that you would know. a fighter when you saw his shirt.” Then, getting sorry for the green reporter, he said ta Dowd: “Shake hands with him, Mr. Sharkey.” The reporter was in a hurry. “Oh, 'm not kidding,” he sald impatiently. “I want to see Sharkey if he is here. I can see Tommy Dowd every day in the week. The manager of a bim_ base 1 team 15 no great curiosity in St. Lout Dowd and Joyce winked furiously, the game was spoiled. “Do you mean to say that this Is not Sharkey,” asked one of the hero wor- but shipers. “Sharkey, nothing,” said the irritated scribe; “that is Tommy Dowd, the man- ager of the bummest base ball team on earth. Now, show me Sharkey.” The ball players dropped their bluff and the laugh was theirs. The waiter was kept busy for two hours and at the end of that time one of the suckers had wind and sense enough left to say: , “Sharkey! Well, I'm blowed.

ORIENTAL IMMIGRATION ‘Special Correspondence of The Evening S‘ar. HONOLULU, November 24, 1896. The local opposition to annexation, led by British influences, Is now massing its forces upon the position that before the United States can annex Hawaii it ts absolutely necessary to obtain the consent of the native Hawaiians to that measure. It is their last hope, in this way to appeal to the democratic conscience of America, that it Is contrary to. American principles to annex an unwilling people. As tcfore reported in this correspondence, Mr. Jonn W. Foster, while en route for Honolulu, encountered this plea tn San Franc:sco, carefully formulated by the Canadian Ash- ford. Mr. Foster gave consideration to that point, while in Honolulu, and is un- doubtedly armed with clear views in re- gard to it. After maintaining a long silence upon the subject, on the 2ist the Evening Bullstin of Honolulu came out with a careful argu- ment to show that the consent of the na- tives must be secured before anything can be done. The Bulletin is edited by a very worthy and capable Canadian. It was strongly royalist for two years after the revolution, but latterly has been neutral, or even a qualified supporter of the re- public. The editor's good sense has evi- dently convinced him long since that native rule in Hawail is thoroughly impracticable, and that the country must be run by white brains. Nevertheless, as a patriotic British- er, he views with little complacency the Prospect of annexation to the stats. He writes as follows: “There must necessarily be two parties to any contract for the annexation of ‘he Hawaiian Islands to the United States. Those purties are the people of the United States und the people of Hawaii. The party of the segond part is the people of Hawaii as a wl not any class or faction, or combiration of classes or factions, but a plain ruling majority of all residents, such as would be eligible candidates for citi- zership of the United States, if living in that country today, or living here at the time this country should be anasxed.” * * * ©The willingness of the Hawatian to become an American voter is a question that will have to be solved before Hawali is admitted to the Union. Goyecnment without ‘he consent of the governed is against the principles of the Declaration of Independence. Now the controlling ma- jority of the foreign population is com- mitted to annexation through the con- stitution of the republic which it has maintained under no small difficulty. * * * The main force of any renewed ~ctlvity on this side should be directed toward con- ciliating the native Hawaiians, and con- vincing them that it is for their best in- terests that they fall into line with the ‘manifest destiny’ of their country, which for two generations has been regarded by intelligent observers outside and inside to be incorporation into the great Union. While it is absurd to expect or even sup- pose that the rulers of this republic should submit its existence to a plebiscite or popular vote without political test in ad- vance, yet it may be taken as certain that n it comes to the decision of anaexa- the whole people of Hawaii will be tion, required to pass upon the question.” “The practice of other great in the acquisition of territory is no cri ion by which to estimate probaole Ameri- an policy in this regard. There are prin- ciples in the American great charter of Kberty and constitution, applicable to our case, which are net likely to be violated in this matter. The various purchases of territory by the United States, which may be cited in’ opposition to the present arg.- ment, are beside the question. In no case of such purchase did the United States take forcible sovereignty over a large po- litical community that had enjoyed self- government.” A Work of Peace. Beginning with the last points presented in the above argument, it may be replied that the United States are not asked to take forcible possession. The government which is now thoroughly in control of the islands, will welcome the United States to assume the sovereignty and raise the flag without force and with no sembiance of resistance to be overcome. The oniy op- position will be a sentimental one, stirred tp by British tnciters among an inert populace of natives who constitute only cne-third of the population. The great ma- jority of the ruling white population, who resistlessly control the government, will carnestly welcome the American’ sov- ereignty. = Nor can the present population of Hawaii properly be termed a “large political com: muniiy.” It is composed of 40,000 natives and half whites, 25,000 whites and 45,000 Asiatics. The last are not a part of the political community, through ignorance of the Eng?ish ahd Hawaiian tongues, having no share in the conduct of public affairs. The natives,are an inert and rapidly dimin- ishing factor. The political life of the is- lands, like its business life, inheres in the whites, These 25,000 whites form only the undeveloped germ of the large white popu- lation, numbering hundreds of thousands, who are soon to multiply upon us and possess the group. The United Stat not called upon to deal with a iar; established political community, but with this small beginning of the coming yeople ef Hawaii. This takes us back to the point first made, that the “people of Hawali” must be a party to the contract for annexation. Here is the very question to be settled, Who are the real people of Hawail? Are they the decadent and dwindling race of aboriginal Hawailans, who still linger in the land, a feeble and inefficient people, pushed aside from active life by the swarming Asiatics and the vigorous whites? Or are they not rather the fresh, active, brainy white raee, who have by their skill and energy created the great wealth and the thriving commerce of the islands, who own what they have thus created, and who are manifestly the heirs of the future of Hawaii, rather than ‘he weak native race? Though still in a nu- merical minority, the 25,000 whites are the existing representatives of the coming peo- ple who are certain in the next generation to outnumber all other races in Hawail. What the, natives represent in antagonism to the whites is a dead past, for which there is no future. One hundred and twenty-five years ago these beautiful islands were crowded with warring tribes of ly naked semi-savages, at least 400,04 number. Touched by the blighting contact of the white discoverers, they withered away. Barely one-tenth remain of the pos- terity of the old prolific race. They are incapable of replenishing the population of the islands. They are incapable of ‘de- veloping the resources of the country, or of taking any but the most subordinate part in conducting its business. Their claim to be the people whose voice is to settle the’ future political destiny of the country cer- tainly may well be challenged. Whites Must Govern. By reason of their superior capacity and force the whites of Hawaii have become the real people of Hawail. The master and officers of a ship are necessarily the men who can navigate and handle the ship. A crew of rautineers have no choice but to put such men in office with supreme au- thority. In Hawaii the whites are the only class of men who poasess the necessary cu- pacity to transact the affairs of business and government administration which daily arise out of the new and large commercial life of this North Pacific, where Hawail is the central crossing point.

Honolulu would for months have been a pest-hole, interrupting half the com- merce of the Paciiic. Even a strong white cabinet, hampered by a native sovereign, would have failed tc meet the needs of the emergency. This is but a single instance of complications which must often cccur, demanding wise foresight and vigorous ac- tion, such as only the while man can sup- ply. For this reason a community located like Hawaii centrally to commerce, must, of recesrity, be completely under able white administratiop. It was about thirty years ago, when the native population was 5 per cent larger than now, and the white population not one-fuurth its present number, that a con- flict for political supremacy between the native and the white race began to take shape. Before that time, under the old con- fidential relations between the chiefs and the missionaries, a system had become es- tablished by which the king and chiefs put the administration of public affairs, es- pecially foreign matters, almost entirely under the direction of certain friendly and reliable white men. The older chiefs and their white assistants died out, and new sets came into power. Jealousies naturally arose. The new generation of natives, with a trifle of educatién, fancied themselves competent to hold all offices, although they were consp:cuously deficient. A watchword became current, “Hawaii for the walians!" For twenty years there was a ccnstant struggte, on the part of natives, to place their men in office and control the government, and on the part of the whites to secnre competent administration. The king, holding the legislature almost com- pletely in his own hands, threw the balance on the side of the natives, thoroughly to the detriment of proper government. Native Government Corrupt. In 1887 corrupt and incompetent govern- ment, chiefly in native hands, reached a crisis. The whites rallied, and by a forci- ble revolution, seized the government. A new constitution was proclaimed, which divested the king of nearly all his personal authority. White ascendancy was also secured in the legisiature, by making the upper house eligible only by electors pos- sessing $600 income, which was more than any large number of natives enjoyed. These measures secured only a partial success to the whites, who wished to leave the na- tives a reasonable share of power, while the latter became more and more embit- tered. They believed that they were the people, and owned the country, and were entitled to the whole of the power of gov- ernment, to the exclusion of the whites. For six years more the struggle went on with varying fortunes, when the queen undertook to aid it in favor of the natives by her fatuous coup d'etat. The whites rallied, overthrew the which they still hold. That’s the lowest price on record for an All-wool Man’s Suit made our way.

But the majority of the natives Ureless British oppositios reason upon the subject. that the Americans want to rob them of their country, their flag and all their rights, and that settles the question in the native mind. , Under these conditions, it is plain how hopeless is any attempt, such as the Bul- letin recommends, to concillate the native Hawaiians, or to convince them that an- nexation ts for their best interests. As to conciliation, thirty years of this contend- ing for exclusive right to rule their own country have made this patriotic principle a religion in their minds, and a question of honor. As to convincing them that annexa- lion is the hest way to secure their inter- ests, the British whites have conducted too long and too successful a campaign of con- vincing them that America is the last coun- try they want to belong to. The only course for the United States to take, if they desire these islands, is to leave the native Hawaiian sentiment out of the account, as that of weak and mis- guided children, whose best interests are to be vrovided for, and not their distem- pered fancies to be consulted. The tr people of the islands, who control and wil continue to control its affairs, irresistible by any internal force, are their white pop- ulation. @hey are anxious for an early ad- mission into the Union, if for no other rea- son, to prevent Hawail from becoming swamped*by this unarrested immigration vf Asiatic laborers.

Professor Mosso, an Italian physiologist, has invented a thought-weigh- ing machine, consisting of delicate balances So contrived that they weigh the varying amount of blood in the brain. The activity of the brain is in direct proportion to the amount of blood therein. According to a local newspaper report, the machine is so delicately constructed that it readily de- tects the difference in the exertion required to read Greek above that necessary to read Latin. Every youngster is ready to believe in the machine. ——_-o+—____ His Level Best. From the Youkers Statesman.
