Japan's atti tude toward the annexation of Hawaii will bo more fully made known to tho state department soon. Tho note written by Secretary Sherman in an swer to the Japanese protest against annexation has not been accepted by the Tokio government as a refutation of the claims, and the reply which Mr. Torn Hoshi, the Japanese minister here, will send to the secretary of stato will express tho dissatisfaction with which the contentions of the United States are viewed. No inkling con cerning the arguments advanced to counteract Mr. Sherman's representa tions will be given at the Japanese legation, where Mr. Hoshi continues to assure those who inquire about tho position of his government that Japan has no designs on the Hawaiian islands. Granting this, there is no doubt that Japan will not allow tho islands to be come part of the United States in ac cordance with the provisions of tho treaty now before the senate without ! a struggle a purely diplomatic strug- j gle, in all probability, but one that will be full of spice and perhaps some ' display of feeling. Tho situation be- ' tween the Tokio and Washington gov- i ! ernments has not improved, and tho (iiuerences over me question at issuo , may lead to a sensational rupture. TRADE REPORT.

People never net encouragement for doiiif the Good Samaritan act it the interests ot tlie public, as the man decided who otTcrcd to assist a distracted woman and ameliorate the suirciiiiBS of a lot of people on a su burban car. The hoy who howls was in evidence, tho curled darliiiK of his only own mother and the terror of everybody else, and he had kept the car in a state of wild excitement and exhausted the patience of everybody, in cluding his doting parent. "Oil, if your father were only here!" she had said for the fiftieth time, as she tried vainly to tcftrain the howling terror. At that he stopped howling long enough to heat the air with his small shins, and the woman on the other side of him remarked audibly that a cage was the proper place for savages like him. "Johnny, dear," asked his mother, "won't you ho a good hoy?" Koars and kicks from Master Johnny. "Oh, I wish your father were here to gives you a good trouncing this very minute!" she wailed, as she struggled with him. Then it was that the philanthropist of the company asserted himself. He had becn. trying in vain to read his morning paper ever since he started from home. "Allow me, madam," he said, blandly. "I nm afather myself, and I will he happy to chastise your cherub in behalf of his absent parent." "Oh, no, you won't, not if I know it!" said Johnny's mother, rising in her wrath like a tigress. "There ain't that man living: dare lay a finger on that hoy his own fa ther or any other ugly catamount who tliinks he Knows it all," and she shut off debate by going into the next car and tak ing the Bwcct infant with her. Chicago Tnncs-llerald. How It In Done. "Up against it again!" gloomily remarked the man who pronounces "athletic" in four syllables. "How's that?" asked the woman who wears white gloves with black stitching. "Thought 1 had a sure thing the other day, and was thrown as usual. Was in a bicycle stoic when a young fellow came in to buy a cyclometer. Said his had given out after ho had ridden "GO miles. Was trying: for a season's iccoid, and hated to begin, over again. Salesman said he could fix it Took new cyclometer, fixed it on wheel, up ended the tiling in the stoic and began to turn. Keeled off 500 miles in no time Thought I saw my graft. Went to guy I know and bet him I could ride more milcsi in a week than he could. It was to be de cided by our cyclometeis. Bought new cy clometer, went up in the attic and began to turn. Stiuck a hot box at the two hundred, und eighty-seventh mile and stuck fast Never happened to a cyclometer before Just my luck." liull'alo Exptess. runtlienintles. There arc people who tell us the distance old Mother Eaith is from the stars, count ing miles upon miles into millions, as tlie distance from Neptune to Mais. The way they throw iigiucs is awful, on the size of the little sun spot, and how long it would take to walk iound it if it wasn't so dcuced ly hot. They measure the depth of the ocean, and the distance ncioss it as wcll get the weight in the air of a meteor, and locate the right spot where they fell. But astronomers and mathematicians all con fess that they :an't get uist light the milcs gone over by papa, when lie "totes" the cross kid in the night. N. Y. Woild.
