FIcArIoS OF TIE TREATY.
The Hawaiian question was again the subject
Of discussion at tojay's cabinet meeting, but
no action was taken. as the case is now
entirely out OF the hands Of the

planned tardiness Of the representatives OF

the case.
Mr. NEUMANN FAILS TO APPEAR
Secretary of State Foster is somewhat disap-
pointed at his failure to meet Mr.. Paul Neu-
mann, the envoy Of the dethroned queen, espe-
cially as he travelled all Sunday night and ali
day yesterday from northern New York to
keep an appointment to meet him at the State
Department last evening at O'Clock. and also
remained at the department this morning an
hour after the assembling Of the cabinet in
order to give Mr.. Neumann q
hearing in case he should call at the depart
ment. But he was disappointed in both in
stances and has heard or seen nothing Of the
representative OF Hawaiian ROYALTY since he
called on Assistant Secretary Wharton last Fri
day and arranged to meet Secretary Foster last
evening.
BELIEVES BE HAS ABANDONED HIS MISSION.
When he failed to appear at the hour fixed,
the Secretary, fearing that he might have mis-
taken the time or possibly been misinformed,
sent his secretary to the hotel to notify Mr..
Neumann that he waiting TO receive him.
But Mr.. Neum ann not at his hotel.
Z = hn nvafAr hAl.
Nor was anything heard from him this morning.

doned his mission altogether, 80 far at least
the executive branch OF the government is con-
cerned.

GERMANS EXCITED.
Advicss from Berlin are to the effect that the
Cologne branch of the German Colonial Asso-
citation has resolved that the pretended pro-
vision for protectorate to be established over
Hawaii by the United States means the injury
of German colonial interests, and that the
declai alton In question by the United States
will lead eventually to an illegal protectorate
which will deprive Germany of the possibility
OF protecting her interests on the islands,
The resolution adds that the United States
government undoubtedly intends to create at
Honolulu an important base of operations
against German colonial interests in the South
sea, and that this undertaking can be tolerated
by Germany only on the condition that the en-
pire be compensated by receiving the rights of
a full protectorate over Samoa and the Tonga
Islands.

Fight On the Treaty.
The character of the fight that has developed
against the Hawaiian treaty has caused its
friends considerable uneasiness, and the under
standing is that they intend to make an attempt
this afternoon to hasten it through, as the op-
position is gaining strength. Senator Allison
is now counted among the most earnest oppo-
nents Of the treaty, and those who are fighting
it say today that it will be impossible TO get
two-thirds vote for it in the Senate. Mr..
Tucker Of Virginia, Mr.. Springer Of Illinois and
lot Of Others propose to get . resolution
through the House to ascertain why treaty
which will involve the government in expendi-
lures and require the raising Of revenues has
been submitted to the Senate without being
submitted to the House also. The effort to de-
feat the treaty is very earnest.
