A special to the Daily Bulletin from
Washington says: king Kalakaua
came here for the purpose of negotiating
treaty. Everybody seems in favor of
it. but Louisiana comes in with opposi-
ton on account of sugar interests and
various other sections have considera,
tions of local interest. The treaty is
very popular; the President, Secretary
of State and in fact the entire cabinet
favor it, and local interests will proba-
bly, give way to National demands, in
this case. It is deemed probable, how
ever, that while there seems certainty
that the treaty will bs adopted, there
will be some amendments to the conf
dental drafts sent by tie President to
the Senate"
