Washington. June 1.-The treaty for
the annexation Of the Hawaiian islands
reached the senate chamber at o'clock
yesterday. The senate at once went into
executive session and as soon as the
doors were closed the message of Presi-
treaty, and the treaty itself were read
to the senate. They were attentively
listened to. In one part OF the chamber
there was a group OF senators who will
bitterly oppose the ratification Of the
treaty. Among them were Gray, Mills,
Pasco. White, Caffery. Pettigrew and
McEnery. AS soon as the reading Of
the documents was completed Davis,
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, moved that the message and
the treaty be made public. Gray OBJ
tected to a vote on the motion, and un-
der the rules a single objection carried

Davis gave notice that at the next ex-
ecutive session he would press the mo-
ton for publication, as all the essential
facts and almost verbatim copy Of the
treaty had been published in the press
Of the country. There was some dis
cussion as to when the treaty might be
considered and White asked il 1t was
the intention to push it at this session
and upon the reply being made that it
was possible the California senator said:
Il desire to announce that 1 am. pre-
pared to stay here all summer to prevent
the ratification, which I consider a very
bad proposition"
TN join you," said Pettigrew.
Message of the President.
The message of the president was not
very long document. 1t dealt with
historical fact concerning the islands
and showed that the United States and
Hawaii yearly grow more closely bound
to each other. This was not really an
nexation, he said, but a continuation of
existing relations with closer bonds be-
tween people closely related by blood
and kindred ties. Since 1920, said the
president. the predominanceo of the United
States had been known. The sending
OF the first envoy there brought the
Islands into closer relations with the
United States. and those relations had
grown more firm by succeeding events.
Annexation an Established Policy.
At the time the tri-partite agreement
was made for the government Of Samoa
Great Britain and Germany wanted to
include Hawaii in the group over which
a protectorate was established, but the
suggestion was rejected by the United
States because this government held
that there already existed relations be-
tween Hawaii and the United States
which placed the islands under the es-
pecial care of this country, and this
government could not allow any other
country to interfere In the affairs of
Hawaii. The annexation of the islands,
said the president, and making them a
part Of the United States was in accord
ance with the established policy Of this
country.

CIVIL SERVICE IN THE SCHOOLS.
Chicago Having Some More Worry Over
the Reform idea.

Chicago. June 1.-THE civil service
board is preparing to repudiate previous
interpretations of the act with reference
to the board Of education and to exterd its
authority over this department. of the city
government. A report of such action has
reached certain members of the school
board. and although unconiirmed by any
official action Of the civil service COM

derstood. will be repudiated by kraus
and his associate commissioners.

tiou was a separate coordinate branch

OF the city government and di not come
within the provisions Of the civil SER
vice act. There was some difference
among lawyers at the time the opinion
was rendered, many believing that the
employees OF the board, such as clerks,
tanitOrs, ETC.. should be under the juris-
diction Of the civil service board and
should obtain their places through ex-
aminations, just as the other city en-
ployes. Many believed Beale's previous
position as attorney for the board Of ed
ucation had given him a bias in their
favor. but President Clark and Messrs.
Hotz, and Waller determined to abide
by his opinion and the school employees
were never disturbed.
The present civil service commission
ers do not feel bound by the opinion of
ex-Ccrporation Counsel Beale. Neither
do they feel called upon to ask for as
sistance from the present corporation
counsel, Thornton. Whatever legal in
terpretations are necessary will be fur
nished by President Kraus and Winston,
of the board. No decisive move can be
made at present, for the reason that
kraus is the only available member Of
the board. Commissioner Winston is Ill,
and Commissioner Wash5urn is away on
his vacation.

A very happy meeting between old
friends who have not seen each other
for the past twenty-five years, took
place yesterday at the Lone Star brew
cry, when Mr.. F. w. Lapp, of New
York, formerly of Offenbach, Frank
fort on the Main, Germany, while on a
visit to the brewery, met and recogniz-
ed, the friend of his youth, his seat
mate in school and formerly very best
friend, Mr.. Carl Gambs, the chief en-
gineer of the brewery, who is also a
native of Offenbach. The mutual
| happy meeting was brought about
through the efforts of Mr.. Frank Ar
mold, the popular general manager of
the brewery, who knew Mr.. Lapp and
knew, also he had been looking in ev-
cry city he visited for the past sixteen
years for his old time friend. After
the meeting quite a family reunion
was held at Mr.. Gambs' residence,
where his father, formerly a German
army officer, was also delighted'to meet

CITY TOPICS:

JOUR- PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS.
The selection of teachers for our pub
lie schools is a matter Of the-greatest
The school board should
be governed. solely by determination
in making, their selections, to- allow no
personal favoritism. no political pull.
no sympathy to enter into their decis-
lions. The only object to be subserv-
led is the best possible service. for the
peoples money. The schools are in
|stituted in order to put education with
/ in the reach of the humbIest, poorest
child in the city,. hut the state has lift
led these public schools above the plane
/ of pauper schools, they are open to the
children of the poor and rich alike;
they are maintained at the expense of
the taxpayers; they level up our soci-
lety and bring the rising generation. to-
the same footing, Without the public
| schools education would be confined to
| the children of the prosperous. and all
schools would be dependent upon the
rich. Our public schools are the nur-
series of patriotism-the colleges Of the
lpeople. How necessary then that the
faculty should be chosen with view
| of securing the best results. But a
few years can be spared to educate our
boys and girls, these years should not
be wasted by tnsfficiency OH incanaci-
ty. The schools came to be, consider
ed, during the past city administra-
| tions, as a sort of genteel. retreat. for
school teachers-in many cases a kind
l of hospital. The teachers got 70, be-
lieve the whole business was gotten: zap
for their benefit. That the places be-
longed to them. That their campen-
sation should run on whether school
kept or not There was hardly any
comuetitiop for positions in the, schools
4 because a sort of perpetnity IN. otice
had heen naugurated. The present
city administration has had the. cour-
age to handle the schools in the inter
est of the people. While maintaining
a salary rate equal to any city in the
state Guy school board has CUT OF the
| th5ee months vacation FROM the pay
rolls. Thereby putting the schools on
a cash basis, instead of having the
scandal of the school teachers being
UNPAID for months. If any one mag
lined that this reduction would affect
the supply of teachers the experience
of the school board has been to the
ontraFy, as they have applications SUIT
Eficient to supply several good sized
Towns. In no one particular has the
Epresent city administration shown het-
ter judgment and more courage than
in handling the public schools. Ma
Igor Callaghan knew that he had 10 be-
gin at the head in order to get the
schools under proper control, so he
promptly beheaded the former school
superintendent. He was assafled by
a demand to- place the schools under
the charge OF an independent board
elected by the people; he fought this
as he considered it an attack upon his
administration-he was brought before
the courts and was sustained. In re-
organizing the schools, the mayor ha;
announced that all positions are oper
to competition, and there can be nc
: doubt but good results will follow.
