HAWAIIAN OFFICIALS.
Two of Them Called on Secrctu
Olney Today.

Two of Them Called on Secretary
Olney Today.
There were two distinguished officials of
the Hawaiian government at the State De
partment today, Mr.. Hatch, the Hawaiian
minister to this country, and Mr.. Cooper.
the hawaiian minister Of foreign affairs.
They had a short interview with Secretary
Olney. 1t Is stated that the visit had no
special political significance further than
the desire of the Hawaiian premier to paw
mis- respects to the head Of the United
States foreign office and to arrange, If
possible, for an audience with the Presi-
dent for a similar purpose.
1t Is stated further that no reference was
made to the question of annexation, that
being subject that the Hawaiian authori-
ties prefer to leave to the considera ton of
the incoming administration, because Of
a well-Srounded impression that there is
no hope of a favorable consideration of the
proposition by the powers that be.
Although it has been stated that Mr..
Coopers visit to the United States at this
time has no reference to the annexation
question, the statements are taken with
considerable grains of allowance The SEN
timent of the Hawaiian people on the SUBJ
ject Of annexation to the United States
was recently expressed by a high official
Of the island republic. according to a re-
cent dispatch from Honolulu, in the fol-
lowing words:
We have every reason to believe an
nexation in some form will be secured at
the next session of Congress, and we are
preparing for it. We have deemed II ad-
/ visable to have two representatives at
Washington to guard our interests. Our
government is pledged to annexation, and
the country is prepared for it,

who thought we were getting on we'll un-

attention to the crushing disaster that
would follow the abrcgation of the reci-

Thinks Tariff Matters VIII Shape
Themselves During the Session.

RepI Iesentative Richard C. Mccormick Of
the first New York district has arrived in
the city. and is registered at the Shoreham
With Mrs Mccormick. In quiet way Rep
resenta tive Mccormick is one Of the most
influential republicans in the country. In
a talk with Star reporter MIR. Mccormick
stated that he had no definite plans for the
coming session of Congress on tariff le gisla-
ton. He did not think that matters would
shape themselves until after the session be-
gins. Then it could be decided wha. is best
to do. The feeling In my district" said
Mr.. Mccormick, ''is that some action ought
to be taken to provide revenues for the
government. but no definite measures have
been suggested 1t will be left to the wis
dom of Congress to decide what Is best for
temporary relief
On the Cuban question Mr.. Mccormick
said that the situation is changing SO con-
stantly it was hard to foreshadow what
will he done. OF course, he said, there was
strong feeling in favor Of decisive action
of some kind.
Mr.. Mccormick will not be in the next
Congress. He could have been renomlna ted
by acclamation, but declined because of
pressing business interests which demand
his attention.

choice of two evils. the alternative Of the
spoils system. He would hesitate, also, to
recommend the selection of employees

what would you do in our place upon
this question Of appointing employes?"
asked Mr.. Quigg.
II would take all the advice could and
do as pleased" replied Mr. Fletcher.
"Well. that is just about what we will
do" rejoined Mr.. Quigg.
Mr.. Fletcher thought that when the new
era for the Congressional Library sets in, the
era of development beyond the present
lines, superior officer to the librarian
should be appointed, a director of the
library, at salary Of not less than $4,000
a year, to perform the executive duties de-
volvent upon the growth Of the library.
Mr.. Fletcher thought the feature Of the
library should not be ideal apparatus, but
the employment of the best brains in the
hbrarian's staff. He favored highly the
employment of women in libraries They
are more sympathetic in their dealings

SENATOR DANIELS VIEWS

Senator Daniel of Virginia gave a Star re-

conference for the settlement of the money
question. He declined to commit himself as

Chandlers proposition, to be submitted at
the coming session, for the appointment Of

an international conference. He said, how

FITTSBCRG, Pa, December 2.-After
celebrating over the matter for full year,
the board Of trustees Of the Pittsburg
Carnegie Library have decided that here
after the citizens of Pittsburg shall have
Sunday concerts in the music hail. This
decision was arrived at after several long
petitions for and against the movement had
been presented and considered. Rev DR.
j. T. McCrory. who represented the Union
OF Evangelical Ministers, opposed Sunday
concerts On the ground that the plan was
an entering wedge to destroy the sanctity
OF the American Sunday, and that 1t would
furnish stepping stone for other infrac-
tlons. He also saw danger of the music
hail becoming meeting place for young
couples desiring to carry, on 4 clandestine
courtship, and had numerous other objec-
tions to make to the opening Notwith-
standing these objections the trustees de-
cided In favor of Sunday cancerfs aliN be-
ginning with December ls, free concerts
