TO PAY THE QUEEN.
THE ANNEXATION MESSAGE BEFORE
 CONGRESS.

An Extra Session win Be Called if the
 Sherman Act Is Not Repeaied-Ths Pros-
 peotive Secretary Has No Fear of a Gold
 Crisis-The Government Is Prepared.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. le.-The Nicaragua canal bill, though having the advantage of being the unfinished business, had to give way in the senate to the sundry civil ap. propriation bill. All the amendments to that bill reported by the committee on ap. propriations dncluding the Worlds fair items) were disposed of, with the exception of the series relating to river and harbor improvements, and these were in the full tide of debate when the presidents Ha. waiian message was delivered. Then, with out the delay of a minute, the senate on Mir. Sherman's motion went into executive session.
 The Presidents Message on Hawaii.
 The president sent message to the sen ate recommending the annexation of the Hawaiian islands to the United States It is accompanied by treaty of annexa. tion, concluded between the secretary of state and the Hawaiian commissioner, and mass of correspondence relating to the question at issue The treaty Is brief providing merely for the annexation of the islands under the present provisional gov ernment, and leaving the details of the permanent form of government, etc., to the action of congress. The correspond ence is very voluminous, going back many years, and gives a complete history of the islands so far as negotiations with the the United States are concerned. Con trary to general expectation the senate in executive session declined to make the treaty public immediately, but decided te first have the message and documents printed for the confidential information of senators.
 SEQ, 900 Annually to the Queen.
 The laws of the United States which are in force in Alaska are extended to Hawaii. The deposed queen is to receive from the United States so0,000 year, and the royal family, and especially the heiress appar ent to the throne, are to be fully cared for. The Chinese problem is disposed of by making it impossible for any of the Chi. nese now on the islands to come into the United States.
 As far as the debts of Hawaii are con. cerned, the treaty proposes that the United States shall assume them, but shall receive in return the various incomes of the is lands. amounting, it is said, to about s10,. COG, 900 year.
 Foster and Carlisle Confer.
 Mir. Carlisle has been in conference with Secretary Foster. 1t is understood that MT. Carlisle has received instructions for 8 bond issue and Is now getting pointers from Secretary Foster. Mr. Carlisle said that he could not see any occasion for ap. prehension in financial circles, as the gov. ernment would not allow gold to go to 8 premium.
 My course as secretary Is perfectly plain, he said to friend. "One of my first official steps will be to issue bonds, and this will be followed by special ses sion of congress. The Sherman act will then be repealed"
 It would surprise no one familiar with MT. Fosters plans to see bond issue made as soon as the Sherman enabling act passes both houses. The Sherman enabling act will probably be passed as an amendment to the sundry civil bill in the senate.
