HARRISON APPROVES.
Said the President Is in Favor of
Annexation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. There are
some important developments in the
Hawaiian situation. First, it is pretty
clearly indicated that the administra-
tion is not in any way lukewarm in the
matter, as was at first supposed. Sec
ondly, the action of the commander OF
the Boston, against which Great Brit
ain Is about 10 file, or has fled, for
NAL protest. has received the official
approval of the president and his cabi-
met. The sentiment in favor of annex
Ing is rapidly extending. Several MEM
hers OF the cabinet have expressed
themselves as being in favor of accept
ing the proposition, but as the action
necessary to accomplish annexation
must come from the legislative as well
as executive branch of the government
these declarations in themselves do not
amount to more than the expression Of
opinion by private citizens.
Harrison Approves.
1t has been reported that President
Harrison is in favor of the annexation,
as leading to the enlargement Of the
sphere of usefulness and activity of this
nation. The action by the United
States officials and forces may be re-
garded as proof of the correctness of
the report. Although the sending
ashore OF the Boston marines by Minis
ter Stevens was without, authority, his
action has been fully approved by the
president. In the senate there is dis
tinctively American feeling on the Ha-
waiian question which is not confined
to any party. There can be no doubt
that the members Of the foreign affairs
committee look with favor upon the es-
adjustment Of American rule upon the
islands, but in just what shape is a
matter of detail that has not vet been
considered. The arrival OF the commis-
sioners from Hawaii is awaited with
much interest, but pending their ar
rival the question of annexation and
the establishment Of a protectorate il
being discussed by the members OF the
senate In the committee rooms and the
cloak rooms and to some extent in
the Legislative session. The objection
to Mr.. Chandler's motion on this sub
ject Monday is not looked upon as an
anti-annexation argument, but from the
fact that ii the resolution had not gone
over the day would have been spent in
its discussion and the anti-option bin
sidetracked.

REDUCED THE RATE.
A Steamship Rate War Is Old Between
San Francisco and Panama.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The policy OF
the Panama Railroad company in put
ting steamships in opposition to the
Pacific Steamship company, caused the
last named company to reduce it's pas
senger rate to San Francisco from SOC
TO $2O, and its freight rate from 90 to
% per ton. The significance of this &C
ton viii be realized when 1t is discov-
cred that it is an eight days journey to
the isthmus. This commercial war
gains additional significance from the
alleged fact that the managemento the
Panama company advertised abroad for
foreign steamers to carry freight from
New York to the isthmus.

LONDON, Feb. lit is learned on ex-
