President Cleveland VIII Fully Investigate
the Hawaiian Question.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The course
of the president in Withdrawing the
Hawaiian treaty is still matter of dis
cussion among senators, though stopped
from talking publicly upon the subject
by the ancient senatorial tradition that
matters executive must be regarded "a
secret until such time as the senate it.
self removes the injunction of secrecy,
which il has failed to do in the present
instance. Arepubliean senator who has
taken a prominent part in most Of
the discussions in the senate in recent
years that have touched foreign rela-
tons said that he had received an init
nation that the president was DESTROYS
of modifying the treaty and that it
would ultimately be returned to the
senate One of the contemplated mod
ifications was probably suggested by
the protest of Queen Liliuokalani, made
by Mr.. Paul Neumann, her representa-
tive, which stated that a majority Of
the Hawaiians were bitterly opposed to
annexation
The senator thought it possible that
the president might so far frame the
treaty that annexation would depend
upon the will of the Hawaiians as ex-
pressed by plebiscitum- Should the
majority reject annexation, then a pro-
tectorate might be established

THE TREATY WITHDRAWN.

| The President Withdraws the Hawaiian
| neutrality-suspicious. as to His Reason
| Fer % Doing
] WASHINGTON. March 10 The presi-
dent yesterday sent brief message to
the senate Withdrawing the Hawaiian
| treaty.
The message was received without
comment on the floor of the senate
The republican senator's regard this ac-
/ ton as in line with the course pursued
by Mr. Cleveland in withdrawing the
Nicaragua treaty sent to the senate by
Mr.. Arthur in the closin g days of his
administration Democratic senators
look upon the act from twO-fold point
of view. some taking the ground that it
shows Mr.. Cleveland to be against an
nexation or American domination of
any sort in the Hawaiian islands, while
others hold that he will send in another
treaty more 10 his liking.
It is understood that the reason for
the withdrawal of the treaty By Presi-
dent Cleveland is because he is opposed
to it in its present form Whether or
not he will favor the making of another
and whether it will be an annexation
treaty or not, cannot be said on author
ity at this time, but gentleman who
has talked with the president on the
subject said this afternoon that an
other treaty would be made.
It is intimated that the president will
suggest either By message or personal
" to senators that committee be ap-
pointed to visit the Hawaiian islands
this year during the interval between
the adjournment of the special session
and the reeonveuing of the next con-
gresS Mr.. Cleveland. heretofore. has
been quite solicitous on this point
and made inquiries as to whether
or not the resolutions providing
for such a commission had gone
through. He had been apparently
under the impression that it had been
adopted He learned that it had not
been, but that the senate had authority
alone TO provide for such a commission,
probably to consist Of senators, and
that the contingent fund of the sem
ate could be drawn on for this pur-
pose.

The Uncertainty In the Money Market
Affecting Trade Heavy Receipts OF
Wheat
NEW YORK, March 1L-R 6. Dun Sc
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Business during the past week has
been affected by the severe weather,
but even more by stringency and I'M
certainty in the money markets The
quantity of wheat coming into sight
continues at the rate of 500, 900 bushels
per day, which is extremely large for
the season when crops are supposed To
be short and prices are very low. The
exports are quite small and the prices
declined cent for the week. Corn
was firmly held and advanced over
cent, and oats nearly as much,
while pork was raised 25 cents, though
lard and hogs were lower. In cotton
an advance Of sixteenth occurred, in
spite of the assurance that the British
strike would not cease. The pressure
Of great stocks on hand caused much
selling when money was light and
loans were called But the exports Of
domestic produce from New York last
week were only 5000, 900, against 81
go, 900 last year, and monetary strin-
gency IS not improbable while exports
are artifcially reduced
