SURE TO RATIFY
Doubt as to the Fate of the
Hawaiian Treaty Has Been
Removed.
President Has POlled the Senate
and the Result Is Salts
factory.
Sixty-one Members Will Cast
Their Votes in Favor of
Annexation.

CHICAGO, Nov. ia special to The
Tunes. Herald from Washington says:
Ratification Of the Hawaiian annexa-
ton treaty by the United States senate
is assured. The administration has
made poll of that body and as result
President Mckinley is satisfied that
more than two-thirds of the senators
will vote for ratification.
When the treaty was submitted to
the senate on June 16 last, 81 members
were depended upon to cast their votes
in favor of the instrument, IL senators
were doubtful and II opposed to the
ratification. ~
Since that time the administration
has taken steps to ASCERTAIN the views
Of men who were then in doubt. AS a
result President Mckinley is depending
upon 81 members who will certainly
cast their votes in favor of the treaty,
with prospects of the addition of sew.
eral votes to this number.
In Shape for Prompt Action.
The treaty is in excellent shape for
prompt action. 1t was fully::considered
by the senate committee on foreign re-
lations, reported to the senate and
placed on the calendar with practically
the unanimous Endorsement of the com.
mittee. There were no votes cast
against it though Senators Turpie and
Daniel refrained from voting, because
they had not fully made up their minds
as to what position they would take in
the matter.
1t is said to be the purpose of Chair.
man Davis, at the first executive ses-
sion, to ask that a day be fixed for tax.
ing up the treaty. Ratification during
the early part of the year is confidently
expected.
President Mckinley, in his message
to congress, will present as strongly as
possible the arguments for annexation.
He will show that the treaty has al
ready been ratified by the Hawaiian
senate and that only the action of the
senate Of the United States is required
to add the islands to our territory.
The president does not expect annex.
alton to result in complications with
any foreign power.

NichtgAu's Governor Gives His Experience
to New Workers..
NEW YORK, Nov. 13. - Governor
Hazen s. Pingree Of Michigan delivered
m address last night before the Nine.
teenth Century club at Sherrys. His
subject was "The Results of Ten Years
of Municipal Progress" There was q
very large attendance at the meeting.
Sherrys ballroom being filed with
men and women in evening dress.
Governor Pingree devoted the main
part of his speech to roasting monopo-
lies and urged municipal ownership of
street railways and gas and electric
light plants. In conclusion he said:
"How long can o government last
which increases constantly the burdens
of the industrial class and gives it to
those who prey upon the bone and
sinew of the nation? Here in New
York fear that my remarks may not
be well received, but hope and believe
that
Self Government by the People
and for the people may yet reach that
stage which all men who love liberty
hope it will eventually reach. It is the
duty of government to protect the
weak against the strong, the poor
against the selfishness of wealth. Isay
right here that, unless the Republican
party comes out as champion of the
average man and his welfare, and, un.
less it ceases to cater to syndicates,
trusts and monopolies, it will be buried
in oblivion. We must begin by advo.
eating municipal ownership of natural
monopolies, and take away from them
the item of profit, and relieve the wage
Garner to that extent"
