y gentleman well versed in
Hawaiian affairs, now living in

garding some of the opinions held
by diplomats at the American
capitol: II hear that some of the
young diplomats attached to the
Foreign embassies here are much
interested in the legal aspects of
your difference with Japan, re-
garding treaty rights, and are
studying the case. These young
men believe that you will have
to call on the United States to
back you up in refusing to meet
the obligations of a treaty, be-
cause you do not like it, and
therefore, make yourselves sole
Judges in the matter. They be-
lieve that the Japanese will strict
ly follow European international
law, and expect that this Govern
ment will support them or de
cline to interfere in any action
taken by Japan, which does not
touch the rights of the United
States in Hawaii Inquiries are
made for the text of the CORE
spondence, which will show the
exact nature of the controversy.
Probably your method of exer-
cising your rights may cause en-

raised by your Government are
said to be very interesting" Ha-

The announcement of the approach
of the City of Peking late yesterday
afternoon was the signal for about 100
people to gather at the Pacific Mail

news from Washington, via Yokohama,
regarding annexation.
One of the postal clerks came ashore
first, bringing the information that the
treaty had been signed by Assistant
Secretary Day, for the United States,
and Francis NJ. Hatch, Lorrin A. Thur
ston and w. A. Kinney, for Hawaii,
and by President Mckinley. transmit
ted to the Senate on June 10Th. That
body voted at once to refer the treaty
to the Foreign Relations Committee.
Action was taken by the committee at
once, and the treaty was reported upon
favorably and reported back to the
Senate. The vote was to be taken the
next day.
This information was said to have
been contained in a dispatch received
at Yokohama just prior TO the sailing
of the steamer 1t could not be verified
by either Minister Smith or Minister
Cooper, but as United States Minister
Sewall has said: "The treaty will ar
rive here on Thursday for ratification
by the Hawaiian Senate" the reported
dispatch has probably been received
here. but had not yet been taken from

Dy way Ol OkOHdllld, II II dppdI
ent that the troubles between ia
pan and this country are cutting
both ways. While il is generally
whether advisedly OF
not, we cannot say-that the i'm
migration business has played a
part in hurrying along the annex
alton treaty, il seems reasonably
clear that japanese claims upon
Hawaii may cause more or less
delay in the progress of the
treaty. The information is such
that we cannot believe the public
remarks of Count Okuma regard
ing the attitude of the United
States were made without due
consideration of the correspond
ence that has passed between the
japanese and American Govern
ments.
In view of the friendly rela
tiOns between the United States
and Japan it seems hardly prob
able that the United States will
give no weight to the japanese
request that annexation be de-
layed until the present difficult
ties are settled. If it were not
for the present complications we
are not inclined to believe Japan
would enter the protest, since
with other nations it has recOg-
nized the practical American
suzerainity over Hawaii and the
manifest outcome of such a
policy.
We appreciate the difficulty of
predicting the future policy of
either the United States or Japan,
being removed from the telegra-
phic centers and thus unable to
watch the developments day by
day, at the same time we believe
the duty of the hour is to settle
the Japanese affair. 1t is very
easy to say the matter should be
settled, and another matter to
settle it. Today we can see no
signs of yielding on the part of
either of the contestants. After
several weeks devoted to diplO-
matte correspondence we find
both Hawaii and Japan assert.
ing, 1--WE are right and we can
not sacrifice national dignity and
hOnOr-We will not give in." The
question at stake is complex and
with the different opinions given
by diplomatic lawyers the public
is very much at sea on the legal
merits of the problem. But leav-
ing the popular views aside, when
two nations cannot agree two
avenues of settlement are always
open-war or arbitration. Ha-
waii cannot go to war and neither
Japan or the United States desire
to get mixed up in warlike pro-
ceedings. The only satisfactory
avenue leading to prompt settle
ment is TO submit the issues at
stake to the decision of disinter-
ested parties-to arbitration. Al
ready the Japanese papers have
suggested the probability of such
measures being taken. We here
can appreciate that a settlement
out of court is next to impossible,
and in order to continue interna-
tiOnal friendship the board of fin
al appeal must be called upon. The
Government of Hawaii and the
Japanese representative are
honest in their desire to reach |
an amicable understanding |
They have found out that there
is no disposition to give and
take" Common sense, diploma
tic courtesy and international
friendship all point to the inter
law court with the un-
derstanding that the contending
parties will abide by the decision.
If Hawaii suggests arbitration,
its honesty of purpose would be
clearly and absolutely demon
