Washington, Jane 17. Tbo fol
lowing is the full text of the mes
sage sent to the Senate by Presi
dent McKinley yesterday to ac
company the Hawaiian treaty :
tl transmit herewith to the Sen
ate in order that after due con
sideration the constitutional func
tion of advice and conaent may be
exercised by that body, a treaty
for the annexation of the republic
of Hawaii to the United States,
signed in this Capitol by tho
plenipotentiaries of the parties on
tbo ICth of Juno. For tho bettor
understanding of the subject, I
transmit, iu addition, a roport of
the Socretary of State briefly re
viewing the negotiations which
havo led to this important renult.
The incorporation of the Ha
waiian islands into tho body
politic of the United States is tho
necessary and fitting sequel to the
chain of events which from a very
early period of our history has
controlled the intercourse and
prescribed tho association of the
United States and tbo Hawaiian
Islands. Tbo 'predominance of
American interests in that neigh
boring territory was first asserted
in 1820 by Bonding to the islands
a representative agent of the Unit
ed States. It found further ex
pression by the signature of a
treaty of friendship, com
morco and navigation with
the King in 1826 the first
international compact negotiated
by Hawaii. It was signally an
nounced in 1843, when tho inter
vention of the United Stotoo
caused tho British Government to
disavow tho seizure of the Sand
wich islands by a British naval
commnnder and to recognize thorn
by treaty as nn independent state,
renouncing forever any purpose
of annexing the islands or exert
in p n protectorate over thom. In
1851 tho cession of tho Hawaiian
kingdom to the Unitod States was
formally offered, and although
not then ncoeptod, this Govern
ment proclaimed its duty to pre
serve nliko tho honor and dignity
of tho United States and tbo safe
ty of the Government of the Ha
waiian islands.
From this timo until the out
bieak of the war in 1861 tbo po
licy of the United States toward
Hawaii and of the Hawaiian
sovereign toward tho United
States was exemplified by con
tinued negotiations for annexation
or for a reserved commercial
union. Tho latter alternative was
at length accomplished by the re
ciprocity treaty of 1875, the pro
visions of which were renewed
and expanded by tho convention
of 1881, embracing tbo por
petual cession to the Unit
ed States of tho harbor
of Pearl river, in tho isl
and of Oulm. In 1883 a pruposal
for tho joint guarauteo of the
uuutrality of the Hawaiian islands
by tho United States, Germany
and Great Britain wasdeulined ou
tho uuuouuced ground that the ro
latiou of tho United States to tho
islands was sufficient tor tho ond
iu view. In briof from 1820 to
1893 the course of tho United
States toward tho Hawaiian isl
ands bad consistently favored tboir
autonomous welfare with tho ex
clusion of all foreign influences
save our own to tbo oxtont of up
holding oveutual annexation as tbo
uocoBsury outcome of that policy.
Not only is tbo union of tbo
Hawaiian torritory to tbo United
States no now scheme, but it is tbo
iuevitiiblo consoquoucoj of tbo io

of the Hawaiian annexation treaty,
brought verbally by people on

from Yokohama yesterday, is con

bole, tho representatives of the
Governments ot tbo United States !
and Hawaii gathered this morn
ing and signed a treaty, by the I
forms of which, if ratified, the
little Island Republic will become
part of tho territory of the United
States. Of the pel cons who btood
in tho room today three were
present when the original treaty
was signed, Special Commissioner
Lorrin A'. Thurston aud Assistant
Secretaries Adee and Cridlor.
It is a very unusual thing for a
treatv of flnnh imnnrrmirn in lin
signed early in the morning, but
iu this case it was desired that tho
convention be made ready early
iu order that it might bo sub
mitted to the Senate on the day
of its signature.
Before 9 o'clock the persons
who were concerned in the pro
pnration of the treaty were at the
State Department. For tho United
States there were Secretary Sher
man, Assistant Secretaries Day,
Adee and Cridler, Private Secre
tary Gaytroo. On tho Hawaiian
side woro Minister Hatch, Lorrin
A. Thurston and W.A. Kinney, all
for this particular occasion accre
dited as spocial commissioners
duly empowored to negotiate a
treaty of annexation.
After formal greetings, the cre
dentials of tho Plenipotentiaries
were scanned and recorded. Sec
retary Sherman alone represented
the United States in the signatures
of the convention, and it was part
of the ceremony to record his au
thorization by the President just
as much as it was tho credentials
of the Hawaiians from President
Dole.
Then came tho reading and
comparison of tho treaty. Of this
there -woro two drafts, ono to bo
held by each. Altogother it was
0:20 o'clock when all was ready
for signatures. Tho Hawaiian
representatives bad brought with
them a gold pon in a plain pou
holder, aud at their request this
was used for all of the signatures.
Secretary Sherman signed first

Washington, Juno 23. Tbo Ha
waiian annexation troaty formed
tho principal topic of considera
tion by the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations at its brief ses
sion today. Tho troaty and ac
companying papers were read
and referred to a sub-committee
consisting of Senators Foraker,
Davis and Morgan, with instruo--ln
tho tions to investigate the ontiro
of tho question aud report to tbo full
committee. The papers read in
cluded tho protest made by Japan
against the annexation. The do
cument did not call out much
comment, but all that was said
was of a character to indicate that
tlio members of the committeo did
not regaul it as likely to lead to
serious complications, though re
quiring tho most respectful con
sidoration.
The sub-committee will con
sider all the complications likely
to grow out of annexation, includ
ing thoso reforringto tho trade
relations of the island." This will
involve a study of all of Hawaii's
treaties with other countries. The
inquiry will require considerable
time, and no effort will be made
by tbe full committee to take tho
Bubjeot up until the sub-committee
shall be ablo to roport on all
the detnils. The realization of this
fact has led the members of the
committee to conclude that it ib
improbable that the committee as
a whole will be able to pass upon
the subjeot during the present ses
sion. The coraploiion of the
committee is believed to be eight
for ratification aad three .against
it. There is a possibility that the
number of those in favor of it may
be increased to nine.
It may be stated as extremely
Erobable that tho matter will be
eld in abeyance by the sub-committee
until Congress convenes in
regular session next Decembor,
for tho double purpose of permit
ting tbe committee to make its in
vestigation as thorough as
possible and to permit tho
executive to get in its
best efforts through the use of
diplomacy to persuado Japan of
tbe unwisdom of her course. It is
understood in this connection that
this delay is in accordance with
the wishes of the administration
as intimated to members of tho
Senate.
The opinion was expressed in
the committee that a document of
tho charaoter of that filed by
Japan would, if presented by a
nation more nearly tho equal ot
tho United States, lead to very
serious difficulties, but tbero is
genoral desire to ectond un
usual consideration toward tho
Asiatic stato, not only becauso
of tho uniformly friendly rela
tions existing betwoen that coun
try and this, but also becauso it is
folt that Japan's success iu hor
war with China may havo had tho
effect of arousing a spirit of com-
bativonoss which is not warrant
ed iu tbo opinion of tbo members
of tbe committee by her relative
sizo and importance ns comparod
with tho Unitod States.
The Stato Departmont has
practically completed its reply to
tbo Japanese protest against tbe
Hawaiian annexation treaty. Tho
reply is understood to bo a strong
legal defouso of our position,
whioh, without iu any senso
abating our claims, does not dis
dain to support tliom by much
citation of preordont and interna
tional law.

Bill life ctiMiirr l siiin for llila N
alnu-HIII l.ir A.mcxalluM
by ricaiii
. Washington, June'23. A pro
test from native Hawaiians who
are under tho inlluenct' of Europ
eans and Oiieulalt) tigHiiibt annex
ation of their Ulands to tho United
States is expected to reach this
country by tbe next stoamer from
tho islands. From tho moment
the first publication in the Chro
niclo that the treaty of annexa
tion was coming, activity among
opponents to tbo plan has been
marked One of tho principal
arguments of J. D. Sprockelo, who
opposes taking the islands, is that
tbo sentiment of tho population is
not favorable to annexation. Ad
herents of McKinley's policy be
liovo that instructions havo gone
to tho islands sotting forth the
necessity for action 'atonco, and
that a petition ot tbo kanakas
against absorption be hurried to
Washington. Friends of the treaty
fear this and admit it might be
instrumental in changing the
minds of many Senators and Rep
presentatives who now favor an
nexation to prevent Oriental domi
nation Of tbo group.
With this view and the further
one that an outbreak is feared,
speedy action is now being urged,
It is said that information here
leads to the belief that tbe Japan
ese will muke an attempt to in
stioate a rebellion in case Con
gress takes no decisive steps. A.
resolution of Senator Morgan In
troduced today undoubtedly bad
for its purpose tho pressing of the
matter to a speedy conclusion. A
majority vote only is needed to
inako a law of the solution,
while a two third vote is necessary .,
for the treoty1.
But tbo opposition is so strong
that there is little hope of passing'
anything on tbe subject this ses
sion, whilo tbe opponents of tho
treaty are growing more confident
tbat tboy can defeat action next
fall as well. Both Senator Per
kins and Senator White say
nothing will bo done this summer.
Japan's protest, whilo vory em-
phatio, is not giving any alarm to
the Administration for tbe reason
that international law is that with
acquiring territory all treaties
fall. Only tbo most argent pro
test on tho strongest grounds
could prevent following this
precedent, and Japan has
no such case. What is feared
most is Japanese influonce in the
Senate. It is rumored that Japa
nese officials have canvassed the i
Senate, with tbB result that tboy
now claim they can prevent a rati
fication of tho treaty by tho pree-,
ent Sonato.
Senator Morgan today intro
duced a bill for tho annexation of
tho Hawaiian islands. The bill
provides that tho islands shall
becomo a torritory of tho Uniludb,
States in accordanco with tbo
torms of tho roceutly negotiated,
treaty. Tho dato sot for tbo ex
tension of tho laws of this country
ovor tbo islands is tho -1th o
March, 1893, but it is spocifiaal)y
providod that thoy may bo put in
forco at an earlier day if Congress
so directs.
Senator Morgan said that bis
bill was intonded to carry tho an
nexation treaty into execution in
case it should bo ratified by tho"
Souato. or to provide for Uh rati
fication by tho joint action of tho
Uo houses iu cuso tbo Scunto
should rofuse to act. .
