IN HOSTILE ARRAY.
Gathering of the Foes of
Annexation.
TALK OF A POSTPONEMENT.
1t Looks as Though Neumann Had
Come to Bargain for the De-
posed Queen, Liiiuokalani.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. The Hawaiian
annexation treaty was again under con-
sideration in the executive session of the
Senate to-day. Morgan of Alabama occu-
pied the most OF the time in Il strong speech
in favor OF the treaty, and Vest, Pettigrew,
White and others indicated their un lrendli-
ness to il.
As the time for the adjournment of
Congress approaches it becomes more ap-
parent that nothing will be done toward
tho confirmation OF the treaty during this
Congress. Vest and others who are hostile
declare that they will not allow 1t to come
to a vote, and the friends of annexation are
considering the advisabillty of letting the
matter drop until the next Congress, as 1t
appears probable that there may be an
extra session.
Secretary of State Foster sent to-day to
the chairman of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations the statement that Paul
Neumann left at the department yesterday,
and accompanied il with report of the
interview held. From the letter 1t appears
that the object of Neumann's visit Is 10

tectorate. He does not advise her restora-

UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS.
Three Classes of Persons That Are
Better Kept AWAY.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22-The Committee
of immigration submitted to the Senate To-
day the report on the bill establishing ad-
ditonal regulations concerning immigration
TO the United States by increasing by three
the number OF excluded classes of aliens.
The first are illiterates over Il years OF age,
and speaking of these the report says that
in view of the alarming changes taking
place In the character of the immigrants
swarmng into the United States the
measure is not a harsh one. Aged persons,
however. are permitted to come and Join
their families. The second class consists
OF those persons partially or wholly dis
abled from manual labor. They are to be
made the snbject of special inquiry, and
proof must be procured that they will not
become public charge. The third class
includes persons belonging to societies that
favor or Justify the unlawful destruction OF
properly or life. Under the present law.
says the report, they can enter the Uniied
States, but the measure proposed will
remedy this condition of affairs.

the stars and stripes floating proudly higher

All along the wharyes aud the water front
the shore was crowded, and greater crowds
gathered upon the chartered steamers out
in the stream. They would have been even
greater too had not it been for the bitter
chill that was in the air-the air of the

The great cruiser Chicago lay out in the

1T Is A GEM.
No Fault Can Be Found With the
Treaty Surely.

New YORK. Feb pa leading Senator

ate would take a vote this session on tls
Hawaiian question. He added: The time
now is too short before the close of the
session. and as the matter has 10 be de-
bated the question will hardly reach vote.
No fault, however, can be found with the
treaty. 1t is gem, aud if il is satisfactory
to the Hawaiian commissioners it certainly
should meet with the approval OF the
American people. There Is no reason why
the matter should be delayed, and there has
not been any undue haste. We understand
the exact condition of things on the Islands,
and as there was no occasion for delay the
treaty was not drawn up too soon. The
sooner the matter is settled the better it
will be for all concerned, but, as it takes
time 10 debate an important question SINH
lar TO the Hawaiian, and rs there is not
sufficient time for that debate the Hawaians,
will have to be content to wait. If the mat
ter could be settled before March OF course
the commissioners would be better satisfied,
but L am afraid that the people of the
Islands will have to wait A number OF
selfish Democrats, and | might also say
few Republicans, who hold prominent pub

Establishing proteetorate would be doing
things by halves. and the only real solution
to the affair is annexation.
