WILL FAVOR ABROCAT|ON
Senator Perkins VIII Oppose the
Continuance of the Hawaiian
Treaty.
Declares That the Growing Beet
Sugar Industry of the State
Need Protection.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 21.-East-
ern papers this afternoon published the
news printed in The CALL this morning
that Harold NJ. sewall of Maine will be
appointed Minister to Hawaii. 1t Is be-
Iieved in diplomatic and Congressional
circles that the selection of Sewail means
that the administration will urge the an
nexation OF the islands,
Meanwhile the fight for and against the
abrogation of the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty is getting hot. Senator Perkins to-
day presented to the Senate two huge Pc
titions from California, one favoring and
the other opposing the treaty's abroga-
ton. The petitions were referred to the
Foreign Relations and the Finance COM
mittees.
lively debate is sure to be precipita-
ted over the abrogatlon OF the treaty,
whether the proposition comes from the
Flnance Committee or as an amendment
proposed by Senator Mills.
10 offset this Senator Chandler will
doubtless repeat his former argument
that the United States ought not to
leopardlze its ascendancy in the Pacific
while Senator Morgan will insist that the
existence OF the treaty gives this country
com mana OF the Hawaiian situation not
to be wilfully thrown away.
The news of the possible action of the
Finance Committee has greatly excited
the Pacific Slope. Senator Perkins ha.
already filed the petition of the California
State Grange in favor of abrogating the
treaty, and yesterday he received the peti-
ton of a large number of representative
merchants manufacturers and capitalists
in San Francisco taking the opposite
view. This petition denies that the
United States have been the losers by
the operations of the treaty.
Senator Aldrich is said to be strongly
opposed to the treaty's continuance, and
it Is considered probable that the tariff
bill 10 be reported from the Finance Com
mittee will provide for its abrogation
Mr.. Mills of Texas will make a speech in
support OF this proposition.
The possible abrogation of the treaty
brings up the important question OF
whether the right granted to the United
The San Francisco call., 1897-04-22

States in that treaty TO exclusively use
Pearl River harbor and establish a coaling
station there would also fall to the ground
at the same time.
Senator Frye, who has given the ques-
tion consid cradle thought, said that
morally the United States would have to
abandon the harbor, but legally it could
keep possession.
"At the time of the negotiation of the
treaty" said Mr.. Frye. "the Foreign Re-
latlons COMMITTEES was unanimously Of the
opinion that the cesSon of the harbor was
for all time, but Minister Carter. asking
an opinion of the State Department, was
informed by Secretary Bayard that the
right 10 the harDor expired with the
treaty. Personally, l don't think we
could hold the harbor and look any other
nation IN the face. l don't believe,
though, that the treaty will be abrogated.
Senator Mills. who has been fighting for
the repeal of the treaty for twenty years,
said that the Pearl Harbor question did
not enter into the question at all f'We
will keep the harbor. if need be-" said he.
1--WE have already given the Hawaiia n s
some $70,000,000 in remitted duties and
that ought to pay for any harbor on earth.
The treaty was illegally negotiated in the
first place.
THE House of Representatives is en-
powered TO raise revenue and it sh ould
have been consulted when there was q
proposition to release millions and mill
lions of revenue. The ratification of the
treaty by the Senate was an act of usurpa-
ton. L shall certainly do all l can TO Sc
cure its repeal
In this connection it is interesting to
know that Secretary Sherman believes
that the abrogation of the treaty would
not carry with it the loss of Pearl Har Dor.

similarly planed, and keeps this up un-
til he has nuilded block OF the desired
Dimensions Then he goes TO work
with peculiar kind OF cbisel made es-
pecially for ice use and by which he
avoids splitting up the ice.
Beautifully propcrtioned figures are

Still more beautiful effects are obtain-

allowing it to percolate through it in
streaks. Then when it is frozen, it
looks like glistening marble, c:eated by

phasizing the propriety of the appeal,
Mrs. Ball says:
"When Mount Vernon was well-nigh
in ruins, the women of the entire coun-
try raised money to purchase 200 acres,
and this property is now owned by the
Mount Vernon Ladies' Association of
the Union. la the year 1889 the schools
of Kansas raised $1,000 and restored
the servants quarters that had beea
destroyed by fire. The schools of Col
orado, Louisiana, New Jersey. Michi-
gan and Others have given handsome
aid in the preservation of Washingtou's
home. 1t would be unjust to you,
children OF Virginia, not TO offer you
like opportunity to manifest your pa
trioiic interest and your State pride by
participation in this noble work
Should eech scholar in every school in
