ANNEXATION TO THE UNITED
STATES STRONGLY URGED
BY the American League-A Terrific
Gale on British Seas Does Immense
Damage to Nessels-Other
Foreign Notes.

Victoria, Il. G., Jan. l3.-Ihe steamer
Miowra arrived early this morning, 10
DAYS from Honolulu having been off Cape
Flattery in the fog three days. Hawaiian
advices are as follows:
A letter suggesting that the government
at once send special annexation envoy to
Washington was presented to President
Dole and the executive council by the
American league. The letter is n strong
one and makes teling points. 1t sets
forth that since the question OF the an
nexation Of the islands was in congress be
fore, many fresh facts have come to light
and many members Of the senate and
house have changed their minds upon the
subject In every instance the alteration
of view has been from hostility to friend
illness for Hawaii. Even the administra-
ton has now justifiable grounds for treat
ing the matter differently and is now III
possession of reliable data. In 1913 1t
acted upon misinfOrmatiOn.
The petition further states that the
sending Of another committee will force
the issue of the treaty strictly upon its
merits. Prejudice has been largely re-
moved and partisanship eliminated to n
greater degree than ever. The appearance
of second commissioner before the same
congress would show that the people here
are firm in the detcrminatin to secure
closer union with the United States. The I
petition had an enthusiastic reception ut
the league the other night. 1t covers
subject that has been discussed not a
little in the league and on the outside. The
latter suggests n single man as the dele
gate, but the individual in mind was not
mentioned on the petition.
