Annexation Treaty VIII Not BE
Reported Until the Reg n
%'''y: ular Session.
Matter Referred to a Sub-Com-
mlttee for Thorough Con-
s- sideration.
Japanese Protest Said to. Be
Much In the Nature Of an
Ultimatum.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The Ha.
waiian annexation treaty formed the
principal topic of consideration by the
senate committee on foreign relations at
its brief session during the day. The
treaty and accompanying papers were
,ead and referred to q subcommittee
consisting of Senators Davis, Foraker
and Morgan, with instructions to in.
vestigate the entire question, and re.
port to the full committee. The papers
read included the protest made by Japan
against the annexation. The sub-com'
mittee will consider all the compiled.
tons likely to grow out Of annexation,
including those referring to the trade
relations Of the islands. This will in.
volve study of al of Hawaii's treaties
with other countries. The inquiry

and no effort will be made by the full
committee to take the subject up until
the sub committee shall be able to report
ON all the details. The realization OF
this fact has led the members OF the
committee to conclude that it is i'm
probable, that the committee, as a
whole, will be able to pass upon the
subject during the present session. Com
paratively little was said bearing. upon
the merits of the treaty at the meeting,
but the utterances that were heard sus-
tanned the estimate heretofore made of
the complexion of the committee,
namely, that at least eight Of the eleven
members would favor ratification. There
is a possibility that the number may be
increased to nine. -

WASHINGTON, June PA caucus OF
Republican senators has been called to
consider as many Of the matters in the
tariff bill that have been passed over as
can be taken up. The question liable to
excite most attention Is the form Of
reciprocity provision which the senate
shall place in the bill. The general
opinion on the Republican side is favor
able to q declaration for reciprocity and
OF providing means for putting it into
effect, the only difference likely to arise
being over the form. The caucus also
will probably take up the antitrust
amendment, providing the Republican
members Of the committee on judiciary
are ready to report. Another question
which is slated for consideration is the
