r. p. RITHET TALKS ON TREATY
AND HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
Views of Visitor, Who Is Familiar
with National Observation-Disclosures
ton is Favorable to the Islands.

r. r. Rithet, of Welch G. Co., of San
Francisco, and largely interested in
the lumber and shipping business,
came by the Australia, to remain
week. He is domiciled at the, Hawai-
ian Hotel, and will devote the greater
portion of the time in looking after
his interests here.
Mr.. Rithet is well known to the peo-
pie of Honolulu and Hawaii. He is
enthusiastic over the country's future
and is confident that the present
treaty or substitute between the
United States and Hawaii will stand.
There is probably no one who is bet
ter informed than Mr.. Rithet on Ha-
waiian political affairs in the United
States. What he has to say will be
read with interest.
"The House was to have taken up
the tariff bill yesterday" began Mr..
Rithet. "The original House bill re-
ceived the endorsement of the upper
branch of Congress with very few
changes and recommendations These
will now be considered by the House.
"The proposition to raise the differ
ential on refined sugar, as compared
with the raw sugar, from one-eighth
to twenty-five one-hundredths is moth
ing more or less than a scheme of the
Curo, Truct
ut is my candid opinion, however.
that Uncle Sam will not forsake Ha-
waii. President Mckinley and his adj
ministration are extremely friendly to
these Islands, and. l believe, are
strong for annexation. 1t looks as
though the absorption of Hawaii by
the greater Republic is near at hand.
One thing, I believe the people here
may rest assured of, and that is that
the present treaty will not be abrogat-
ed unless another treaty. which would
probably be modified somewhat, shall
be instituted"
''Is the Sugar Trust opposed to Ha
waii? Unquestionably so. But, then
/ am of the opinion that the best pol
icy for the people of these parts tc
pursue would be not to oppose the
Trust, because it is sure to retaliate
two words for every word said against
| it. and all directed at Hawaii.
The new element-the beet sugar
producers-are still keeping up theiI
strong fight against the exemption ot
Hawaiian sugars.
There is very little change, if any
in the tariff situation, so far as these
parts are concerned now than weel
or so ago. Sugar quotations are tn,
same. and stocks have gone down {
little"

RECIPROCITY CLAUSE.

According to late dispatch, there
is report that some of the men IN
terested in the present sugar schedule
have given the friends of Hawaiian
reciprocity to understand that they
will consider an offer to trade that
feature of the Dingley bill for votes
in favor of the compound duty as on
templated by the present bill. One
member of the committee said ii was
probable that the Democratic substi-
tute for the sugar schedule would con-
tain the reciprocity clause, despite the
opposition of the Louisiana Senators.

N|lNOTFORSAKE HAWAII THE PEARL HARBOR ITEM
SENATE AMENDMENT KILLED IN
THE HOUSE.
Goes to Conference Now-It is Believ-
ed That the Rejection is Not Likely
to be eFinal-AnneXation Near.

WASHI- GTON, d. c., May 11.-By
the decisive vote of Sc to SO the House
in committee of the whole today nom
concurred in the Senate amendment
to the Sundry Civil bill apropriating
$4,000 for the improvement of Pearl
harbor, Hawaii. 1t was strongly adj
vocated by Hit of Illinois, chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Affairs
of the last House, who Explained the
terms of the Hawaiian treaty. Reply
ing to question, Hit said the matter
bore no relation to the question of an
nexation, for if the Hawaiian islands
were acquired the necessity would
still exist for coaling station. "One
of the things necessary" he said, sis
to hold it. Let us go in there and
plant the flag, and it will not come
down in a thousand years. Cap
plause.)
NEW YORK, May 12-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Mail and
Express telegraphs as follows: The
action of the House in rejecting the
Senate amendment appropriating $780,
600 in the sundry civil bill for the inn
provement OF Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, is
not likely to be final. 1t is hardly
possible that this amendment would
have failed of prompt acceptance by
the House had the situation been fully
understood. There are features of the
question rendering the immediate pos
session and improvement of the har-
Dor almost imperative, which the u.s.
age of diplomacy forbids being stated
in open session of Congress. These
could be no more than limited at by
Mr.. Hit in his earnest argument in
behalf of the amendment. When the
bill gets in conference the House will
undoubtedly recede.
The fact is, the annexation of Ha-
waii appears to be near at hand, The
administration has a fixed policy in
respect TO the matter, and practically
the only thing waited for is the oppor-
tune time to call it to the attention of
Congress and determine upon the
manner in which the Islands shall be
annexed.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May H.
Chairman Dingley of the Ways and
Means Committee, whose name is
borne by the new tariff bill. made a
statement today regarding the meas
ure.
of course, the estimate of an in
creased revenue from sugar through
an abrogation of the treaty with Ha-
waii has nothing to do with the tar
iff legislation, for this could be done
as well by accepting the House sugar
schedule, as the sugar schedule pro-
posed.
"The fact that the Senate Finance
Committee recommend an ad valorem
duty on sugar apparently little
higher than the specific duty of the
House bill does not insure a larger rev.
enue, as past experience with ad va
loren duties has shown. Tn our iudg-
ment the revenue from sugar under
the House sugar chedule-setting
aside the question of abrogating the
Hawaiian treaty-would be larger
than under the Senate amendments.
