PRESIDENT COGNIzANT OF ITS TERMS
Present Debt of Hawaiian Govern
menr, Coming Into Possession of
All the Hawaiian Crown
Lands and Other Pub
lie Possessions.


Secretary Sherman left for the south.
There is no doubt, it is said, of the presi.
dents acquiscence in the terms of this
treaty, for the reason that he was made
fully aware of them, before he left. The
treaty is on the general lines of the treaty
negotiated during the administration of
President Harrison, and withdrawn by
President Cleveland. 1t provides for
annexation without the exaction of con-
ditions on the part of the Hawailans, as
to the form of government to be vouch-
safed Hawaii, leaving that question to be
entirely disposed of by the government
of the United States. The United States
will agree to assume the present debt of
the Hawaiian government, but will come
into possession of all the Ha awaiian crown
lands and other possessions.
SUGAR TRUST DISCUSSED.
When the tariff bill was taken up today,
Mr.. Allison asked for an agreement to
daily sessions to begin at II Am, on and
after Wednesday. Senator Vest pre-
ferred to have the agreement conditioned
on an understanding for daily adjourn
ment at s p. m. Senator Allison stated
and the agreement was effected.
Senator Allen of Nebraska, then re.
verified to the colloquy of last Saturday,
in which he held it was the right and the
duty of the government to take legal
steps to dissolve the sugar trust. He
argued that an injunction quo .warranto,
and other legal process could be invoked
by the federal courts against state cor
poration engaged in interstate or inter-
national trade, without doubt. If Have
meyer and his associates went to New
Jersey to procure charter as mere
shield to improper proceedings the act
WAS fraudulent, and the charter void, and
the federal courts had jurisdiction over
the subject. Why, therefore, should the
senate waste time and haggle over sugar
schedules, and sugar trusts, when the
courts offered real remedy for dissolv-
ing this gigantic monopoly. Senator
Allen spoke in favor of abrogating the
Hawaiian treaty. The senator said the
sugar investigation in which he took
part, disclosed the fact that Havemeyer
and Claus Spreckles had an agreement
by which Spreckles controlled all terri
tory west of the Missouri river, while the
territory east was 'subi iect to the forays"
of the American Sugar trust. His vote,
and he believed the votes of the Populist
senators, would be cast to cancel the
Hawaiian treaty as q means of develop.
ing the beet sugar industry in this coun-
try.
FINAL RATIFICATION.
The final ratification of the boundary
treaty between Great Britain and Vene-
zuela was exchanged at the state depart
ment at O'Clock this afternoon.
RAILROAD INVESTIGATION.
The senate committee on Pacific rail.
roads today decided to investigate the
issuance of patents to Pacific railroads
under the Pettigrew resolution, and ap
pointed Senators Foraker, Stewart and
Harris of Kansas, subcommittee for
that purpose.
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
The Republican senators will caucus to
consider Senator Spooners prop ,sitions
to modify the tariff bill, so as to protect
the government against large importa-
tions under the present law.
THE LINDSAY MOTION.
The senate at 2:45 p. M. voted on the
Lindsay motion, to strike out the differ
ential on refined sugar. Rejected, yeas,
26; nays, 20.
CUBAN RECOGNITION.
The house today adjoorned until Thurs
day. Mr.. Sulzer presented petition
said to include 100000 signatures in
favor of Cuban recognition as belliger-
ants.
INDIAN SUPPLIES.
The specifications for furnishing CLOTH
ing and supplies for the entire Indian
service have been finally cancelled, and
new bills will be called for by the COM
missioner of Indian affairs, Jodes, 10 be
opened in New York during July. The
investigation of the way in which the old
specifications were framed, by which one
bidder, it is alleged, would have secured
the contract through useless technical re-
quirements has almost been concluded.
Collusion of certain employees has been
charged, and it is possible that several
removals may result in the Indian
bureau.
SUGAR SPECULATION.
The statement by Senator Hoar in the
senate today, that honest men in the sem
ate looked with contempt on the charges
against the United States senate, drew
from Tillman stirring reply, IN which
he insisted that Hosr was entirely mis-
taken. The charges that senators specu-
lated In sugar had been made by reputa-
BILE newspaper men over their own sigma
