bill provides that the Islands shall be-
come a Territory of the United States in
accordance with the terms of the recent

The date set for the extension of the
laws of this country over the Islands is

1t is also directed that the five Commits

the recommendations to Congress in mat
ters pertaining to Hawaii, which shall

its provisions. Out of this sum the in
terest on the Hawaiian debt is to be paid
but provision for the payment of the
principal of this debt is deferred
In reply to a question, Senator Morgan
said that his bill was inteded to carry

SUGAR SCHEDULE PASSED.
hawaiian Clause Omitted by Pre-

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The Senate
made a great stride forward today by
schedule of the Tariff Bill, except the
provision relating to Hawaii, which went
over. This schedule has been the storm
center of the entire bill, and with it
disposed of there is a better prospect
for speedy action on the bill as a whole.
The first paragraph of the sugar sched-
ule has served to bring out ali the
speeches and the test votes, and when
this was, passed early today the other
paragraphs of the schedule were agreed
to without further opposition. AS agreed
to the schedule places on sugar not above
1 cent for every degree above rs, and on
sugars above No. is, Dutch standard, 1.95

LEGAL REPLY TO JAPAN.

WASHINGTON, June 23-The State

NEW YORK, June 1S.-A Herald WASH
ington dispatch says: The attitude of
Japan promises to become a serious fac
tor in the Hawaiian situation. The grie-
Vances which that Government have en-
tertalned against Hawaii have been
greatly added to by the act of the Ha-
waiians in signing the Treaty of Annex
alton without notifying consulting the
Japanese.
The fact that the British Foreign Of
nee was well informed in advance re-
gard1ng annexation proceedings, and they
We're not altogether unknown to the
french and Spanish Governments does
not conduce to the better feeling Of Ja-
pan. While the Japanese representative
mere express only the most friendly SEN
hments toward the United States, the
lack of candor on the part of Hawaii is
unreServedly denounced, and IL can be
confidently stated that the diplomatic re-
latfons between the two Governments
are decidedly strained.
The Japanese Legation has received no
information for several days as to the
progress of the negotiations respecting
the indemnity demanded of Hawaii in the
immigration matter, but it is generally
believed that the matter is temporarily
held up pending further DEVELOPMENTS I'm

Willis said that he thought that If Great

referring to the proposed annexation
OF the Islands by the United States, the
Bishop said the proposal was only ad-
Vanced in order TO please certain poll
tiGians, as America did not want the

In conclusion, the Bishop is quoted as

POLL OF THE SENATE.
\. Y. journal Finds Showing in
Favor of Annexation.

| The New York Journal says that a
| careful poll of the Senate shows that the
| Hawaiian treaty, if a vote can be had
will be ratified by narrow majority. 1t
| is believed that several Senators now
classified as opposed will come into line,
| as the treaty is discussed.
The main difficulty will be in securing
a vote at this session, every one will
be anxious to get away at the earliest
possible date. But while the Tariff Bill
is in conference an opportunity will pre-
sent itself for discussion. The main OBJ
Ject Tor which the treaty has been rushed
to the Senate will be accomplished: that
is, to put stop to the aggressive course
or Japan, which had already assumed
dangerous phase.

self to be a man among men, good

himself in Butler, he has prospered
wonderfully. and he is here 10 stay un-

During the fore part of last week he
reminded some of his friends of the
