SCHEME OF UNION FIXED
AN ANNEXATION TREATY BY MOW
V
IN THE SENATE.
l'renlrient fflckliiley Attend to All
IlrtnlU-niiil'ter Hatch Sftya
Hawaii la Ready.
Washington, Juno 15. The
treaty for tho annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands to the United
States will be sent to the Senate
by President MoKinley tomorrow
unless present plans aro changed.
Men close to tho administration
and others engaged in pushing
through tho tariff bill have been
informed that the treaty will bo
transmitted to tho Sonato tomor
row. .
It is stated there will bo no
consideration of the Hawaiian re
ciprocity provision of tho tariff
bill until the treaty is received.
The ono point of importance in
which tho treaty differs from tho
convention negotiated by Secreta
ry x' osier uuring i-resiaont iiar
rison's administration is tho omis
sion of any provision for Ex
Queen Liliuokalani and the Prin
cess Kaiulani. In tho original
treaty it was provided that the
Government of tho United States
should pay tho ex-Queen tho sum
of $20,000 cash and tho samo
amount of money as a pension
each year daring the remainder of
her natural life, provided she in
good faith submitted to tho Gov
ernment of the United States and
tho local government of tho isl
ands. Tho Princess Kaiulani, bo
ing the next in line of royal
blood, was to receive a cash pay
ment of $150,000, but no pension,
under a similar proviso as in the
case of tho ex-Queen.
It is understood that any ob
jection that might have been ex
pected to the annexation of the
islands based on tho large pro
portion of coolies in the popula
tion has been forestalled by an
article not only prohibiting the
furthor immigration of such
laborers to the Hawaiian Islands,
but also prohibiting the coming of
any of tho Chinese from the isl
ands to other parts of tho United
States.
At the request of Senator Alli
son the Hawaiian provision in tho
tariff bill has been passed over by
the Senate.
THE ASIATIC QUE8TI0N.
Washington, D. O., June 11.
Several wooks ago a Washington
special to Tho Call said that tho
administration favored tho annex
ation of Hawaii. Tho selection of
Harold M. Sewall of Maino as
United StateB Minister to Hawaii
was at that time announced ex
clusively in Tho Gall, coupled with
the prediction that this meant that
tho administration would favor
annexation of the islands.
Tho most delicate
subject connected with the nego
tiations is that of dealing with the
Chinese and Japaneso population
on the islands. That it may lead
to a straining of diplomatic rela
tions with China and Japan is ad
mitted by many friends of annex
ation, but it is conceded that no
plan of annexation that conferred
upon tbiB class of Hawaiian popu
lation citizenship or tho right to
ontor tho United States would
meet tho approval of Congress.
Senator Perkins said to Tho
Call correspondent tonight that in
bis opinion thoro was a very de
cided sentiment in the Sonato in
favor of annexation.
MINlBTKlt HATCH PLEASED.
Washington, D. 0., June 12.
Hawaiian Minister Hatch is
averse to discussing the annexa
tion treaty now being drawn at
the Department, details of which
woro given in a dispatch to yes
terday's Call, but ho practically
admits that the matter is near
iug a solution. Ho said today:
"We had assurances long ago
that if President MoKinloy was
elected annexation would moot
with his favor. Wo aro anxious
for it, and thero will bo no delay
on our part. Our Legislature
doos not meet regularly until next
February, but a speoinl session of
tho Legislature will be convened
to adopt a treaty "
Minister Hatch is very much
pleased with the outlook. It is
now known that tho treaty has
been drawn at the State Depart
ment and is ready for signatures.
Mr. Sherman and Minister Hatch
will sign for their respective
countries, and therejjeemu to be a
strong sentiment iu'CongresB in
favor of annexation.
ENQLIBH OPINION.
London, Eng., Juno 14. The
Times is of the opinion that the
recognition of Hawaii's indepen
dence by the groat powers in 1893
will constitute a diplomatic diffi
culty in tho way of annexation by
tho United Statos. It Bays that if
annexation is effected it will en
tail novel responsibilities and in
troduce an entirely new olemont
in tho American political system.
Tho Daily News says: "En
gland has only n speculative
interest in tho fato of Ha
waii. Tho United States wants
the islands to develop tho Pacific J
trade, and is coma to take them.
Tho acquisition will prove an
epoch-making transaction. Am-
orica has at last ontored into the
scramble for colonies. No1 ono J
can say, least of all the Araer-1
i .1 . -it i ii '
leans, wiioro mey win snip.
Washington, Juno 14. Attor
throo hours1 discussion tonight in
caucus the Republicans decided to
tako no action on tho reciprocity
treaty, as there was expressed so
much belief that an annexation
treaty was in preparation that it
was not wise to embarrass the
Administration at this stage.
It is known that tho approval
of the Committee on Foreign Re
lations is assured, as eight mem
bers of the committeo have ap
proved its terms. This will en
able the committee to speedily re
port the treaty to the Senate bo
that it may be taken up immediate--ly
after the tariff bill is disposed
of. Tho Sonato has boon can
vassed to a certain oxtont bySena
tors favoring annexation, and
while there are some Senators who
are non-committal tho supporters
of the proposition say they boliovo
they can count upon tho two
thirds vote necessary to insuro
ratification.
The especial friends of tho Pre
sident about the Senate say that
tho treaty has been made in ac
cordance with his viows, and that
it would have been sont in some
time ,ago but for his exaction as
to details.
UNITED STATES AND JtPAN.
Comment of a Loudon Vapor ou the

London, Juno 8. Tho St.
James Gazette- this afternoon,
commenting upon tho dispute be
tween Japan and Hawaii, which it
'desoribos as a corrupt little ropub
lio run by a handful of American
filibusters; says: Ab Hawaii has
no resisting power, the question
arises, Will the United Statos
Government boo its protogo
through its trouble? Tho Japan
eso may land an armed party at
any moment. Then what will tho
Philadelphia do? Japan, siuco
sho smashed tho Chinese, is bo
Iioved to bo spoiling for a fight
with a whito powor, and sho mny
find America ready to obligo her
sooner than sho expects.

THE TRUST IS REBUFFED
OVERREACHING) ITBM.r IT GET
INTO A L4ISINM FIMIIT.
Hcuatnra llnvp Their ryea Opened Mr.
Thtll-Moli Hnyn to I.nok Out
fur n trick.
Washington, Juno 8. Tho
Sugar Trust received a blow to
day. Until within the past twenty
four hours it scorned n foregone
conclusion that tho Hawaiian
treaty would be abrogated at the
demand of tho Trust, but tho gen
tlomon who represent that organi
zation hero woro over-confidont
and tonight thoy aro wondering
how it all happened.
During the past two days a very
quiot but -tolling campaign has
been conducted against tho Trust.
To tho utter surprise and confu
sion of tho Trust people, nffairs
suddenly assumed an altogether
different phastrjodny, and unless
some entirely now and unlikely
combinations aro formed within
the next fow days, thoro is little
possibility of tho Hawaiian treaty
being nbrogated.
At tho Republican cauoiiH this
morning Senator Frye made a
speech which fell liko a bomb
Bhell in tho Trust camp and stain
peded tho sugar men. In tho cau
cus ho mado the statement thnt ho
would nevor couBont to the abro
gation of tho treaty and presented
powerful arguments showing why
such action should not bo takon
by the Senate. Ho was seconded
by Chairmau Davis of the Foreign
Relations Committeo and othor
influential Senators.
Tho result of this unexpected
assault on tho Trust was to com
pel tho caucus to pass over the
question without taking any action
on tho treaty, and as no furthor
provision was mado for another
cauous it is not likely that the
question will como up again in
that form. This, it is bolioved.'is
greatly to tbo advantage of tho
friends of the treaty, who are now
vory activo and will ovorlook no
possiblo chauco of carrying their
point hereafter.
All tho Now England Senators
excopt Aldrich, father of tho
Senate sugar schedulo, are against
the abrogation of tho treaty, and
earnest opposition to such action
on the part of Senator Davis will
have great effect with the v estorn
Senators.
Tonight John D. Sprockets is
making a great show of con
fidence and informing his frionds
that the treaty will be abrogatod
as surely as the tariff bill is pass
ed. But tho conconsus of opinion,
both in and out of Congress, is to
tho effoct that tho inovomont to
secure, such aotion has rocoivod its
deathblow. Of course the Sugar
Trust will not give up tho fight.
Many telegrams from prominent
firms and business men on tho
Coast recently received hero, ox
plaining tho necessity of main
taining the present treaty with Ha
waii, havo beon circulated among
certain Senators who have beon
misinformed by interested parties
as to tho roal feeling on tho Coast
as to this question. Sonators who
have not heretofore understood
tho situation of affairs havo had
thoir oyos opened by this moans,
and tho effect has been very pro
nounced. Thoro is no longor any
indifference in tho Seuato as to
tho passage of tho Aldrich sche
dule. LinoB are now boing close
ly drawn and tho tactics of tho
trust are fully exposed. From
this time on tho sugar mon havo
got a losing fight to make, with
all the chances ngaiust thorn.
Ex-Minister Thurston of Ha
waii fears that if tho frionds of
tho present treaty aro not careful
thoy may bo hoodwinked. Tho
opposition is attempting to get a
doeoptive clauso inserted in tho
now tariff bill, tho ultimate effoct
of which will bo to abrogate tho
troaty. The proposition has boon
mado to provide for tho nogotiu
tiou of a now treaty at tho oud of
a year. At tho oxpirution of that
time, if the new treaty is not ne
gotiated, the old one will lapse
and the trust will bo ablo to pro
vent the confirmation of a now one
and to kill the old
one.

Below is the tiddrpss of Presi

THE IDEAL LII'K.
From my own memories of au
occasion liko this, I may, 1 think,
understand tho footings which you
bring to these exorcises. I ro
momber tho elation of spirit with
whioh I porformed tho oxcitiug
duties of tho lust day at school,
and tho buoyant hopo with which
I faced tho world. 1 may presume
from my experienco that you have
similar emotions touight. It is
tho part of youth to eagerly press
forward to ineot tho future. The
hard work of a course of study
entitles one to tho souse of victory
which comes at its end. lou havo
fho riaht to be exultant, and
vnnr mint. nn.liinvnim?ftln lmvn (li
your past achiovomeTJls havo de
veloped in you a confidence in
your ability to overcomo future
obstacles.
In viow of the now departure
which you aro about to mako, I
wish to refer to your future course
of action and to ask how you aro
going to tako the world. I do not
ask what you uro going to do,
whothor you aro going to bo
lawyers or clorgymou or carpon
tors or school teachers or journal
ists or artists or stenographers or
typewriters; that inquiry covers a
great field, but as Prof. Scott has
only given mo ton minutes we cam
not go into it tonight. I pro
pound the far larger nostion,
What is going to be your attitude
toward tho world? Is it to be that
of the boir of a groat estate on his
coming of age ?Is life to be to yoa
an estate to Bpond, to on joy, or is
it to bo a higher High School in
whioh you will continue your
education ?
Humanity is divided into two
groat classes. Tho lines of cleav
age cut through all othor diviaiona
of society: tho rich and poor, tho
classes and tho masses, tho res
pectable and tho rabble, aro all
rodivided by this great and un
conventional lino. On tho one
sido is tho man or tho woman who
subordinates the answer of every
proposition to the personal con
sideration. On the othor aro those
in whoso answer interests outsido
of themsolves aro considered, and
whose hearts are open to the un
seen influences of the universe for
light. Yet tho possibility of
liviug for an idea lies latent ia
every human heart. Timos of
national crisis sometimes arouse
this gorm to activity and whole
communitios aro swayed by the
call to the inner life, for uttor
devotion to a heroic ideal. Tho
individual also who is engrossed
in worldly considerations, is some
timos confronted with conditions
which awakon his spiritual lifu
and onable him to respond to tho
heavenly call to a duty which is
beset with sacrifico and danger to
him and whoso benofit is solely
for another.
Thoro aro times also of extraor
dinary omorgoncy whon tho veil oE
separation botwoon our conscious
ness and the mysterious influence
of unseen things seems partially
lifted, and tho most callous hearts
heed the call to tho higher life. In
tho recent Matabelo war, a
campaign for conquest and plund
er on both sideB, a detachment of
some thirty-five English volun
teers was surrounded by a great
host of Matabelo warriors. Tho
whito mon hold thoir foes nt bay
until their force was badly icdnced
and their ammunition exhaust
ed. Tho war had boon conducted
with such severity by both idti8
that surrondor was ont of qnestiou.
A posBiblo minute of life was left
to this remnant. Thoy did not
give way to despair, but, standing
together shoulder to shoulder, luo-
