Question in the light OF the pro-
posed annexation Of the islands to
the United States.
| The Globe says: "The ques-
ton is essentially international,
and cannot be disposed OF by the
decree of one power alone. Great
Britain and France are in the
same position toward Hawaii as
the United States. In our case, If
Hawaii is converted into strong
naval station, it will practically
command the alternative route be
tween Vancouver, Australia and
the Far East, and Great Britain
has every right to be consulted
before the scheme is carried fur.

The Pail Mail Gazette remarks:
at seems probable that Hawaii
will be under the Stars and Stripes
shortly, and nobody will say .
word against her. We should be
glad to see Hawaii American
rather than any other colony"
The Westminster Gazette says:
"Great Britain will not object to
the annexation of Hawaii, though
it remains to be seen how Japan
will take Americas action"
The morning papers continue to
discuss the question of annexation
of Hawaii to the United States.
The Daily Graphic says: Had
England been in the position of
the United States, she would pro-
baby have annexed Hawaii years
ago."
The Daily Chronicle, whose
Washington correspondent gives a
forecast of the contents Of the
annexation treaty, says: "The
United States has entered upon
the thorny path of colonial e1-
p8nsion. We wish the new eX-
pertinent, though with some mis-
givings, all success"
London, June 17.-Most of the
morning papers contain editorials
on the proposed annexation of the
Hawaiian islands.
| The Times says: The United
States Government has made a
new departure from its historical
policy. Such an ACQUISITION of
foreign dependencies will bring Of
necessity a new and serious for
leigh policy, which cannot in all
cases be determined by an unli =.
mited application of Monroeism.
Will America pursue the coloniz'
ing course upon which she has
now entered ? President McKin
ley tries hard to represent the case
as wholly exceptional, but the
forces tending in an opposite di-
rection are very strong.
| The Standard says: The natives
will be better off under the Amer
lean Government than before. No
doubt the Americans will soon
build fleet to protect their
colony.
The Telegraph says: No poll
tical complications are likely to
ensue, but it is for the Americans
to square annexation with the
Monroe doctrine. England's in
terest in the event is only senti-
mental.
The Morning Post says: Pres
ident Mckinley should be salts
fed to sbelve the matter now he
has brought it before the public.
Japan is not likely to consent with
out struggle. England will re-
quire quid pro quo, and the
i affair will scarcely escape the
notice of the Australasians.
The Daily News admits that the
United States has a superior
claim and expects that the Japan
ese protest will be merely diplo-
matte.
Paris, June lb.-The Journal
des Debats, commenting today on
the Hawaiian annexation treaty,
says: Only Great Britain and
Japan have enough interest in
Hawaii to oppose its annexation
especially Great Britain. In
these times of imperial unity
there will probably be lively re-
greet at seeing the American Re-
public installed in an important
position in the Pacific between
Canada and Australia. Japan is
not in position to oppose Amsri-
can ambitions.
