Tine HEawailm Treaty.
CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-The Iri5unss Wash
ington special says the committee on ways
and means has not finally voted on the report
of the sub.csmmiite upon the Hawaiin treaty
This report Ia substance says; THAT he
Secretary of the Treasury does not attach
great importance TO any loss OF revenue that
may result from this treaty but believe its
ratification will be beneficial 10 the country
The committee says; "When we take into
consideration the prospective commerce Of
the Pacific; II cannot be disputed that Il Is Of
much greater advantage to the United States
than to the other party to the treaty." This
treaty authorizes an exchange of products OF
the sail-such az sugar, rice and semitropical
fruits--for lumber, -four and manufactures
of tho United States. The Pacific States are
70 receive from these islands what they do
not produce, and the Hawaiian Islands are to
receive from the Pacific States In exchange
what they do not produce. AS sugar Is the
principle article released from duty, the cem-
mittee consider especially the facts In rela-
ton to it, and conclude that the Hawaiian
sugar will not have the least influence on the
market in the Atlantic States, as 1t IL impossl-
bic for this sugar to come into competition.
The committee consider 1t very important not
to lose sight Of the probable division Of the
Hawaiian Island'strade In another direction II
this bill fails, and shows that already q very
large proportion of It has been attracted to the
British colonies i'd the Pacific, the English
government and people being always ON the
alert to increase their commercial advan-
tages, and having already Pacific possessions
of incalculable value requiring larger sup
ply of sugar than can be obtained elsewhere.
