The annexation feeling Is On the increase.
says 4 Washington special The news OF
the Hawaiian revolution came SO suddenly
on Saturday that the members OF Congress
were unable to take survey OF the situa-
ton before expressing their opinion. But
since then the importance of the islands,
both for PURPOSES q defense and commerce.
have become appreciated. What has had
particularly stimulating influence on
the public mind here is the tone OF the
British press. For instance, tho Lpndot
Telegraph. which hos the largest circula-
tion Of the London papers. says editorially
that Great Britain cannot permit the
United states to annex Hawaii II any
thing is calculated to raise the spirit OF
annexation such a remark is. and 1t Is
noticed that members who opposed the idea
now openly declare that the islands must
be annexed. Could it be definitely
settled that Great Britain would
not seek to secure the islands for herself
this Government might he satisfied with
exercising IA protectora.e over them But
Great Britain's record shows that She Is
not TO be trusted. Why sho got left this
