ABOUT HAWAII.


gress, Immediately after the silver
bill is out of the way, message and
the correspondence in the Hawaiian
matter.
Hit of Illinois, formerly chair
man of the foreign committee says
the difficulty of dealing with the
Hawaiian question could not be
over-estimated Annexation, with
the peculiar conditions existing in
the islands, might we'll puzzle the
wisest statesman. He spoke of res
toration of the Queen as the height
OF absurdity, while saying protec-
torate would mean to abandon the
form of republican government on
the islands. a protectorate meant
that the United States would gov
ern the islands as possession.
Hit says it is necessary to have
the islands, for the same reason
that the nation is building ships of
war, as the islands are the Malta of
! the Pacific ocean and are absolutely
necessary to the United States. He
thinks the islands could be acquired
as military and naval station and
governed as such by the United
States. They are wanted for war
purposes, he says, and if acquired as
such could be governed without dis
turbing the existing conditions or
submitting the islands to he rule of
the most populous yet ignorant
classes of the islands.
