WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Today Rep
resentativc Springer, of Illinois, intro
duced in the house the following reso-
luton for reference to the committee on
ways and means:
"Whereas. A treaty providing for the
annexation of the Hawaiian islands to
the United States is now pending in the
senate, which treaty, if finally ratl-
fed by the senate of the United
States and by the government OF
Hawaii and sanctioned by congress, will
require the government of the United
States to pay the public debt of Hawaii
and the amounts due depositorS i'll the
Hawaiian postal savings banks. which
may aggregate three and quarter mill
ions of dollars-the sum Of $4,000
per annum to the late queen of
Hawaii. and the sum OF $780,
600 i'll full to the Princess Kaiulani, and
which treaty will require the congress
OF the United States within one year
to extend the tariff and international
! laws of the United States to said isl.
| ands, thus obligating this government
| to pay the inhabitants of said islands
| bounty upon the sugar which may be
| produced in said islands: therefore,
Resolved, That the president of the
| United States will be requested to
! furnish this house with any information
be may have showing the amount of
said postal deposits and the debt OF
Hawaii, the rate of interest they may
hear, when they may be due, where
payable and what was the market
value OF
| The Bonded Debt
OF that government prior to the estab-
lishment of the alleged provisional
government of Hawaii. Also to furnish
this house with any information i'll the
| possession of this government showing
the amount Of sugar which is annually
produced in Hawaii and the
amount of money which will be re-
quired to pay the bounty upon Hawaiian
sugar, in case of the annexation OF Ha-
waii to the United States. and the prob
able amount of other obligations which
| this government will incur and assume
as necessary consequence Of such an
| neXatlOn."
Secretary of State Foster sent today
to the chairman of the senate committee
on foreign relations, for the information
of the senate. the statement which Z aul
Neuman left at the department yester-
day, and accompanied it with a
report of the interview held with
| the secretary. From the latter it
appears that the object of Mr..
Nemuan's visit to Washington Is to
| secure the restoration of Queen Liliuo-
| kalani to the throne under an American
| protectorate. He does not advise her
restoration under any other circum-
| stances. If the congress of the
United States shall not deem a protect
crate feasible, he would then favor an
nexaton, with liberal allowance for
The queen and Princess Kaiulani, but
/ he strongly objects to the continuance
of the present provisional government
| i'll power.
| The senate in executive session today
| considered the Hawaiian treaty, and
Mr.. Morgan made strong plea for the
| annexation of the Islands. Senator
| Mills, of Texas, is opposed to the pres
ent ratification of the treaty. He in
sists that question of such importance
ought not to be discussed behind closed
doors of the senate, but should be freely
and fully discussed by the press and the
people.
