WASHINGTON, March 1.-The last hope
OF the Hawaiian commission for the an
nexation by the United States of the
islands went glimmering out yesterday.
The Senate by a narrow margin refused
to go into executive session. All the
democrats present voi ed against doing SO.
The Democratic senators have decided
to prevent the holding of any more ex-
days of thi, session. They are likely to
be successful Ia this effort. owing to the
pressure OF public business and the in
difference OF several Republican senators.
This means the defeat OF the proposed
treaty annexing hawaii. for time NJ
least. Those In favor of annexation have
been discussing the possibility of secur-
ing the rattle ,tion of the treaty during
the extra session succeeding March 4.
rms has been Senator Hiscock's idea,
but since he gave expression TO
this view the sentiment against
an iexation seems to have de-
veioped considerably not only through
out the coun ry. but IN the Senate as
well. Sen tor Allisons unaiUnrabie OPP
position would likely prove an iusupera-
bic obstacle TO the ratification or the
treaty alter Adlai Stevenson becomes
president OF the Senate. TIL necessary
Lwo-l birds majority would undoubtedly
DE lacking.
III both branches Of congress were in
session 1 think that annexation could be
secured by mere majority ia the House
ana tie Senate on sons legislative enact
ment OF an annexing character said
senator while discussing the subject
with several oil his colleagues, "but how
1T can be done nnder the circumstances
hat will exist subsequent to Mr.. Cleve-
lands inauguration do not see."
Much, Will depend on the. attitude
taken by Mr.. Cleveland and Judge tres
ham when they assume the duties of
the.r respective Offices. 1t is rossbie
that they favor annex tion, provided
that the law regarding sugar bounlies Is
not made made 10 apply TO Hawaii and
that the proposed blg pensions Tor the
royal family are reduced.
lt is entirely pr babe that the new ad-
ministration Will incline to the view
taken by the Democrats in the House
that no new territory can be acquired by
the United States unless 1T is bv the nc.
ton of Congress, aud not by the action of
one branch.
It is a so probable that Mr.. Cleveland
