agitation and said: ''f the position
ia aggravated many disatrous conse-
quences are to be- apprehended, especi-
ally in mining and commercial enter

Uuitlanders does not conduct to the

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. a.
President Mckinley will handle the
Hawaiian question with just as much
vigor as did Mr.. Harrison when he
was President OF the United States
This, at any rate, is the assertion of
Major McKinley's friends, who claim
to have information regarding his
views on an issue prominent during
the closing days of the Harrison adj
ministration, and an issue that has
brought trouble without end to Mr..
Cleveland. Mr., Mckinley heartily
favors the plank in the last Repub-
lican platform, which declared:
"The Hawaiian Islands should be
controlled by the United States, and
no foreign power should be permit
ted to interfere with them"
1t cannot be ascertained here,
however, whether Major Mckinley
will put himself definitely on record
regarding Hawaii until his fret
message is sent to Congress. Then,
it is said, he will deal with this
question in no uncertain way. II is
firmly believed if the Hawaiians
make the proper overtures McKin
ley will declare for annexation. 1t
is believed to be certainty that he
will favor protectorate over the
islands. He can do no less than
this and make good the pledge in
the Republican national platform
Just at present, however, other is
sues are ouershado,uing the Hawaiian
question in Washington. Now that
the trouble over the Venezuelan
boundary is settled the Cuban stu
alton is next OF international i'm.
portance. Then, the Republicans
are scheming to settle certain
domestic affairs which are giving
them concern. Little Hawaii may
have to wait longer than some peo-
pie have hoped to get attention
from the next administration. There
are few public men in Washington
to day who can be induced to talk
about the next administrations
probable policy in dealing with
Hawaii.
Senator Morgan is member Of
the Senate Committe on Foreign
Relations. He dictated the follow
ing to correspondent, in which he
gives vent to some opinions of I'M
usual interest:
81 have no way Of ascertaining
the views of the incoming admins
tration on the Hawaiian question,
other than what | have gathered
from prominent gentlemen in the
Senate and others outside of Con-
gress. see no reason why the Re
publican party should refuse to
follow the precedent established by
President Harrison on that subject.
THE reasons for the annexation
of Hawaii are stronger now as far
as the United States are concerned
than they were when President
Harrison made treaty for that pur-
pose and reason for the autonomy OF
that Government are stronger now
than they were then, but those peo-
pie seem to desire annexation more
than ever, do not see that any
thing has occurred to drive the sup
porters OF Mr.. Harrison's policy into
opposition to their clearly expressed
and oft repeated wishes.
THE party that annexes Hawaii
to the United States will do as much
for our progress in the commerce of
the Pacific as Jefferson did for our
interior growth by the Louisiana
purchase. | cannot conceive OF a
party protesting to be American that
wonld hesitate to grasp great OPP
'portunity, unless some question OF

Speaking of the manner in which the
Spaniards conduct the war he said: "The
policy Of the Spanish troops is one Of

battling with the Cubans. The real fight-

Cuba and to that part the rebels arc hur.

many coast cities and towns trade is at n

vegetables are available and there is great
