BY y. H. MAKEAFFY.

DUBLIN, Dec. II.-When you invited
me some time ago to send you some artl-
cles on the state of Ireland at this mo-
ment, you very naturally called 1t a state
of famine. That was the cry in August
and early in September. Even the au-
thorities at Dublin Castle were greatly
alarmed, and one in authority there told
me that the reports from the country were
very serious. But having undertaken to
give you my impressions it was of course
my duty to make some serious inquiry
into these reports and get some more
trustworthy opinions than those of the
daily press; for you know in Ireland the
daily press, however earnest and vera
cious, is not consistent with itself q don't

such com mission would be successful in
its search?
Hawaii is thought to be but the fore run
ner of Cuba and perhaps Of her scattered
parts of the western hem sphere Ii
would De but natural that the weak and
poorly governed States of Spanish Amer
lea should rush toward the United States
with our door once open. Circumstances
have brought these Pacific islands within
American reach a little earlier than the
rest; but once admit these and there is
no knowing where the colonial extension
appetite may end.
If Hawaii is to be annexed then 1t is of
enormous importance that some plan
should be discovered for its government
This is a puzzle which makes it i'm pos
sible for a goodly mum Der of the more
careful lawmakers to say whether they are
really for or against annexation as the
case now stands.
The friends of annexation have definitely
decided to CONSIDER the question in execu-
tive session of the Senate. A few of those
who support the measure were at first in
clined to believe. unless it became evident
that the two-thirds necessary TO secure
the ratification of the treaty was assured
from The beginning, 1T would be waste
OF time to take the matter up at all. Upon
the basis of the treaty they appear to have
changed their minds and to be disposed to
defer to the opinions of the majority, who
oppose this course.
1t is now stated, on behalf of the an
nexationists, that to abandon the treaty
at the present time would create the i'm
preston they had surrendered the fight
entirely. They think the consideration of
the question will serve to bind those who
profess to be in favor of annexation, and
to hold at least majority of the Senate
for resolution, If it should become neces-
sary to resort to that expedient.
There is another reason for desiring the
consideration of the treaty behind closed
doors, which actuates the Committee on
Foreign Relations. This is the fact that
Japan's attitude toward annexation Is
such as to involve some delicate ques ito MS
which the members of this committee
think it not advisable to air before the
pu ublic, in the way they might be aired If
the matter should be taken up for debate
in the open Senate.
The stanchest friends OF annexation ad-
NIT it will be well-nigh impossible to Sc.
