Breathing Ground Of the Pacific.

New York. Feb. 3.-The United States
senate Is la favor of auneNiug the lla-
Wuiiun islands; nt least va says Senator
j. " Camden of West Virginia. Senator
Camden was In Washington whom the
news of revolution became known va this
country and ON saturday afternoon and
evening he says the Hawaiian situation
was freely and somewhat thoroughly dis
GUESSED by the t'uited States senators.
In the streets and In hotel corridors the
overthrow OF the queen was the chiri top
ic of discussion. senator Camden met
and talked with fully hvo-slNths OF the
senators. and he suid 10 "a reporter while
here ut the Fifth Avenue hotel that the
opinion among the members of the upper
house was that the United States could
not refuse the request OF the commission
ctp representing the provisional govern
mrllt. The complications surrounding the
question. the obstacles iu the way of
treaties that may he Ia the way aud al
legged rights of other nntious were ull
freely tulkei about Senator camden
says, aud still the sentiment OF the senate
favored annexation,
1T Is my opinion as well as the opinion
OF other members of the senate TINT the
time has arrived when the United States
must take the Hawaiian islands into the
fold said Senator Camden last even
ing ~ am heartily iu favor of nuucNa-
ton, There are treaties nnd other oh
stnccs in the way. but | believe they
cnn be- overcome The future COM
mcrcc NJ the Pacific is something the
United States must look ont Tor nc this
time There are great opportunities for
America in the future commerce of the
Pacific America can and must take the
lead there against all competitors. hut
her opportunities iu TIT great western
occnn must Doc improved, mud the time
has arrived when that can he done. Is
lands I'm the Pucic gre necessary In the
success of Americas commerce in the
pucihc England. France and Germany
have their possessions there, nd why
should not the United States hive its
,harcy The nations Of Europe have
hoped and wished they could get posses
sion of the Sandwich islands, but Amcn-
cas- secretaries Of state have success
fully resisted all efforts In that direction.
America has not been a grusping nation.
II has not reached forth nud tried To
grasp Hawaii, nor does 10 do IL now.
Hawaii simply wants 10 come In ont OF

umbrella 90 protect her. IL was iueyitn-
