JAPAN'S OBJECTION Il
Why Annexation OF Hawaii to United
j.1# States Ia Opposed. s5s Saa5

Why Annexation OF Hawaii to United
States Is Opposed. et:
Washington, j June 25.--The gist OF
the protest Of Japan to Hawaiian annex
alton, which was read to the senate
acommitte on foreign relations WednesZ
day, is as follows: sTs .s 5z$ II
The acquisition of Hawaii by annexation
to the United States would deprive the
resident Japanese in the islands Of rights
to which they are at present entitled
under the present treaty with Hawaii
At present, there are 25, 200; Japanese9i in the
islands with large property rights and un-
titled to, become citizens Of Hawaii. IN
case Of annexation these Japanese could
not become citizens Of the United States
as the decisions Of United States circuit
courts are to the effect that no Asiatic can
become a citizen Of the United States: BY
annexation the japanese now resident In
Hawaii would be subject to any measures
that might be adopted by the United States.
They would lose the right to become citi-
zens and to vote, the large interests owned
by Japanese citizens in the islands would
be greatly jeopardized; therefore the jap.
anese government must firmly protest
against the proposed annexation. y 44#
Hawaiians, in Washington insist that
the reason for the protest Of Japan
against annexation is that Japan really
desires to acquire the islands herself.
The main point Of contention between
Japan and Hawaii over the treaty be-
tween the two countries, it is learned,
is as to the wording Of the treaty which
Hawaii seeks to abrogate. This treaty
hasa provision that it may be termi-
mated at any time BY mutual consent. .
This is sscontrued BY the japanese gov
ernmentS to mean that the treaty can
not be terminate without the consent
Of both governments, and as long as
Japan insists upon keeping it in force
II cannot be abrogated. The Hawaiian
contention is that the words have no
such meaning, and that any contract
or agreement can besdissolved by mu-
tual consent as a matter Of course; that
Il the claim of Japan was valid the
treaty would be in effect permanently.

BELIEVES in LABOR UNIONS.
President's Declaration Made to Of.
ss8~ 8 ficers Of Federation.

President's Declaration Made TO Of
s Rcers OF Federation.
Washington, June PSI regard the
organization of labor as the natural
and legitimate effort to secure its
rights said President Mckinley. This
strong declaration in favor Of organized
labor was made in the course Of con-
versation at the white house Wednes-
day with Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor, and
Frank Morrison, secretary Of the or
ganization. For an hour labor's in
terests and labor legislation were dis
.cussed in all their varied phases. The
anti-pooling bill to restrain the opera
tion of pools and trusts caused the la
Dor people some anxiety. President
Gompers explained that the labor
unions were afraid that they themselves
would be classed as trusts and the pen
alties Of the act applied to them rather
than to the large combinations usually
known as trusts. He thought an amend
ment should be made specifically ex-
empting labor unions.
5 President Mckinley agreed that the
labor unions should be protected and
spoke of measures in which he had
taken an interest in former years. he
did not, however, seem to think there
was much danger of their being classed
as trusts or subjected to penalties.
Unless you believe as some people
dc" said Mr.. Gompers, "that labor
unions are an evil, think you will
agree With me that their existence
should not be endangered by this bill. =
81 do not desire to be classed with
those who consider trade unions an
evil" replied the president, and he fn-
ished the sentence with the words
quoted at the beginning Of this dis
patch. 5.5@ IS sss55.

LANDSLIDE EXPOSES COINS.

Millions of Pieces of Chinese Money
Washed Out by Rain.
A large find of old coins, which have
lain hidden underground for over ], $50

doms-was accidentally brought to
light last May in the Chushan district,
in northwest Hupeh, during heavy
downpour of rain, says a Shanghai con-
temporary. May aconsiderable tract
of land washed off from a. hill, and the
landslip exposed the hidden treasure.
The villagers in the neighborhuod
focked to the spot to help themselves
to it, and the news of the strange dis
covery was at once telegraphed his ex-
cellency Chang Chintung, who ordered
the local officers to gather the coins
with all dispatch:
It is said that the quantity gathered
represents as many as 7,0O0, 900 strings,
and the coins are unusually large, re-
sembling in size those of the Hsienfung
reign (about As years ago) Of the pres
emit dynasty, The viceroy is sending

ters of the reign of the monarch and on
the other (Szechuen) the seat Of The
government that issued them.
