They were not tit for self-goveFnment, and
it was hardly to be thought that this coun-
try would set up there any other form of
government. There were a number of sharp
Americans in Hawaii who had acquired
extensive interests there, and naturally
these interests would be better protected and
become more valuable II a stable govern
ment were set up under the
American flag, but TO accomplish
this result the United States would have
to enter on a colonial policy which would
be a new thing in our history and likely
lead to the gravest complications. 1t was
apparent that Mr.. Blount had deep seated
aversion to the idea Of annexation, based on
the feeling that it was contrary to the
genius OF our government and would lead
to consequences OF the gravest sort.
DESIRABLE AS A CoALING STATION.
Senator Butler Of South Carolina, speak,
ing on the Hawaiian matter tonight, said
that when the petition for annexation is
examined by the President he presumed the
President would refer it to congress, where
the matter will come up for legitimate dis
cusslon. OF course, said the senator there
could be no question Of the desirability of
the islands for use as q coaling station. Un-
less they were purchased. as were Alaska
and Louisiana. it would be necessary for
congress. If 1t decided 60 annex them, to
pass regular act of annexation, as was
the case with the republic of Texas,

Senators Indulge In a Hair-5plittiu1
Debate over It's Provisions.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.--In executive ses-
sion to-day the Senate took up the French
extradition treaty. There is growing
disposition on the part Of the senators to
avoid amendment of treaties for the reason
that every time an alteration is sought
offenses are included scarcely above the
grade Of misdemeanors, which are likely to
cause no end Of trouble to both contract
ing powers. This criticism was urged
against the treaty nousunder discuss ION,
but resulted in hair-splitting debate on
technical points, the lawyers IN the Senate
indulging in an old time legal
alteration. There are some
features in the proposed new
treaty which were considered favorable and
It is probable that an amendment with
modification striking out minor offenses
will ultimately prevail

MONEY FOR TaR MAILS.

Discontinuauce OF Appropriations for
Special Facilities Recommended.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28-The minority
report on the postofflce appropriation bill
signed by Messrs. Kyle, Blount. Loud and
Wilson Of Missouri, was submitted to the
House to-day. An item in the bill to which
they objected is the appropriation of 1885,
GA for necessary and special mail facilities
on trunk lines. They think that the prin-
ciple that recognizes the right of
the government through any OF
its departments or agents to
discriminate In favor Of one individual or
enterprise aud not for all alike is iudefensi-
BILE upon any line Of fairness. The Post-
master General recommended discontinue
ance Of the appropriation for this purpose
and says that this special facility allowed
has for some time been source of much
annoyance to the department and has
hampered the best interest OF the mail
service.
INTENDED TO BE ONLY TEMPORARY.
He says further that whom the special
facility payments we're first started IL was
understood that they were but temporary,
so as TO bridge over a period until the mats
ural growth of the mails would yield suffi-
cient compensation to do away with COCA
sion for additional allowances, since which
time the aggregate yearly compensation
TO railroads drawing special allow
transportation independent of the
special service has more than doubled, 30
that the ordinary compensation will be
greatly in excess Of the ordinary and spe-
cial compensation added together years
ago. For these and other reasons not mem
toned the minority oppose this section OF
the bill.
