THE HAwAIIN TREATY.

TIE summary of the Hawaiian treaty
transmitted to the Senate last week
appears to cover the Chinese question
thoroughly, says the San Francisco
Bulletin. 1t extends our contract la
Dor and anti Chinese laws over the
Islands, and forbids the coming Of
Chinese to this country from Hawaii.
The further effect of the operation of
our laws will be to deport those Chi
nese now in Hawaii who may refuse
to register. Many Of the Chinese on
the Islands are contract laborers. It
does not appear what eject the treaty
may have upon such contracts. The
debt OF the Islands, $1,000, 900, Is to
be assumed by the United States. In
return We get all the revenues OF the
Islands. According to the latest sta
tistical information on the subject the
revenue was estimated at 81, 426,56e
annually. We also get the crown lands
by annexation.
The Islands have all area OF 6,64t
square miles, or larger area than the
States OF Connecticut and Rhode
Island together. The present popula
ton is about 10000. 1t was supposed
to be about zoe, 900 at the time OF Cap
tain Cooks discovery, according t
Chambers Encyclopedias. Ex-Queei
