SENATOR CHANDLER's RESOLUTION
Congress any treaty he may make for
ratification by legialation. The pur-
pose OF that language was TO permit
the House Of Representatives to have
q share In tho Responsibility for the
disposition Of the subject and not TO
have action taken In the Senate and
behind closed doors. Undoubtedly
this was calculated 10 strengthen the
proposition contained In the resolution
looking TO annexation. Senator Cham
dler says:
"rhe time has come for the United
States to annex the Hawaiian Islands.
For years they have been gravitating
towards US, but ns long as seli-sup-
porting government could be main.
tained on the islands there was no
necessity for annexation. Now, how
ever, II ~ apparent that the govern.
ment can no longer stand and the
people are willing 10 come TO us. IL
will not DO necessary for tho United
States to embark In a general policy OF
annexation or colonization. What we
want Is Hawaii In the Pacific and one
or two points In tho West indies. We
need them for coaling stations and for
strategic outposls aud We can stop
there"
Chandler's resolution will come up
in the Senate In the morning hour to-
morrow unless some diversion be- made.

The general sentiment among the
me mbers OF the House seems to he that
the United States should annex the
Hawaiian islands now that 1t has been
invited to do so, but there are excep.
lions to this view. O'Ferral OF Viz
ginia is opposed to the acquisition by
the United States Of more territory.

committee on foreign affairs, declined
