THE ANNEXATION OF HAWAII
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: There can be no doubt that n movement for
the annexation of Hawaii will be begun early In
President McKineys Administration and the re-
turn of the Republicans to power In the Govern
ment There Is authoritative party decree which
akes the annexation of Hawaii fixed Republican
doctrine but tho fact that President Harrison had
formulated a treaty of annexation and sent II TO
the Senate before his retirement from office tends
TO incline the Republican party toward annexation.
When President Harrison sent that treaty to the
Senate. Queen Liuokalani had been deposed for at
tempting to override the Constitution and the Gov
eminent of the Islands was In the hands Of pro-
visional revolutionary committee who had been In
structed by a mass-meeting in Honolulu to offer
the annexation OF the Islands to the United States
Government. There was in effect. no government
and no constitution In Hawaii. but only an inter-
regnum offering no adequate security TO the citi-
zens Of the islands under the former Government or
the citizens Of the United States resident there.
This condition Of things. furthermore invited at
tcmps by other Governments to seize control OF the
islands The revolutionary junta. clearly convinced
as they that Liliuokaanis regime was intol-
cradle. still had confidence that a constitution
could be framed providing any form OF selfgovern-
ment which would be safe and stable with the ex
listing population.
The time seems to have arrived when the tradi-
ands is no longer adequate for the situation.
This traditional policy had been Of friendly ad
montion and direction. - well ~ msantenance Ct
