MEANING OF MORGAN'S COURSE.
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs
still HOPING for Annexation.

Senate Committee Foreign Affairs
Still Hoping for Annexation.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 2S.-The air
of mystery assumed by the Senate COM
mittee Oh foreign relations in its Hawai-
ian investigation gives the impression
that Morgan's resolution, under which
the inquiry is held, is merely q cloak Tor
much more important inquiry than as
to the alleged irregularity of our diplo-
matte relations with those islands.
There is reason for believing that while
presumably the present question is for
information bearing upon the conduct
of Stevers and Blount, there will
be an effort at the same time
to obtain any information which will
prove the capability of the islands for
seii-government and the desira bility or
otherwise of annexing these islands at
some time in the future. 1t is under
stood perfectly by members of the COM
mittee who might have these points in
view that there is no hope of annexing
the islands under the present admins
tration, but those who favor this dispo-
sition of the little kingdom do not in
tend to be swerved from their purpose
by the fact that one administration is
opposed to this course.
Senator Morgan, who is chairman Of
tie committee. has been scrupulously
careful about expressing opinions upon
the Hawaiian question, manitesting a
disposition to do or say nothing which
would appear extra judicial, but he is
known to be firm believer in the Wis
dom of attaching the islands to this
country as a part of it, Just as Alaska is
at present attached, and the fact that
he has very recently introduced
bill in the Senate providing a
form Of government for any ac-
Quired territory lends pausibility
to the suppositlon that he is
looking forward to possibilities far De-
yond anything included in the resolu-
ton under which the committee is au-
thorized to conduct it's present hearing.
This is a plausible explanation of the
origin OF the bill, and without some end
like the acquisition Of Hawaii in view it
Is difficult to find any reason for it's ex-
istence. Those who know Mr.. Morgan
best say that he is not the man to at
tempt to secure legislation that would
tit a suppOsiton.
1t would appear probable that when
the committee reports it will, SO far as
Mr.. Morgan can direct the character of
tie report, smooth over the events with
which they were concerned and declare
that a closed era. In the meantime
Minister Thurston, who is now in Ha-
Waii, will have been heard from as to
the capacity of the present government
for temporarily managing the affairs of
the islands, and his information, with
the corroborating testimony which the
committee will be able to get together
nthe meantime, may have an important
bearing upon the future Of the commit
tees investigations.

RETIRES TO PRIVATE LIFE.
Expiration of a Term Ct twenty-five Years
on the Supreme Bench.

Expiration of Term Ct Twenty TWO Years
on the Supreme Bench.
MADISON, Wis, Dec. 29.-Chief Justice
William Penn Lyon to-day babe fare
we'll to the supreme court Of Wisconsin
after a continuous service Of twenty
two years. Justice Lyon became q
member of the supreme court in 1871,
being appointed by Gov. Fairchild to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Justice Byron Paine. The unexpired
term Of Justice Paine expired one year
from the following January, but Gov.
Fairchild's choice Of successor to the
deceased Justice was endorsed by the
people at the polls on the following
April, and Justice Lyon was reelected
for the full term, and was successfully
reelected in 1877 for q siN-year term,
and in 1883 for ten years. The people
of Wisconsin have been uniformly hap
by in the constitution of their highest
tribunal, and there have been none
more deserving of confidence, if his
record on the bench and in private life
may be accepted as evidence, than tie
nan who to-day left the field Of public
service for all time.
