that government is American annexation"
Representative Oates said that the ones
ton presented in the report of the secre-
tary OF state was one Of law as well as Of
fact Certainly this government would
not oe justified in taking any steps toward
restoration Of the queen If we were not
directly responsible for her overthrow. He
opposed annexation. but the proposition
to restore the queen presented different
question. and he was not prepared to dis
euss 1t beyond this point.
Senator Faulkner. OF West Virginia, had
only glanced at Secretary Gresham's let
ter, but, inferring that the main idea Of
Secretary Gresham's statement was restor-
alton OF the monarchy in Hawaii, he could
not understand how that could be brought
about by the United States under existing
conditions
Judge Turner, of Georgia, who IL one OF
the best lawyers in the house, said no early
opposed the annexation of Hawaii and was
inclined to agree generally with what the
secretary OF state had said in connection
with Hawaiian affairs.

should do everything in our power TO cor
rect the wrong.
Senator Pefter said he had not vet read
the statements on which Gresham based
his conclusion, and did not care to express
an opinion. "All I care about Hawaii"
he said. lis that IL may be used Tor gov

Harrison, when seen about the Hawaiian

will be used TO establish her again. The
question of annexation is one of deep in

manner. Unless my administration is an
