for the annexation of the Hawaiian ISL
pnds, signed early in the day, reached
the senate chamber at 5 o'clock. The
senate at once went into executive ses-
sion, and as soon as the doors were
closed the message of President Nc
Kinley, accompanying the treaty, and
the treaty itself, were read to the senate.
They were attentively listened to. In
one part of the chamber there was a
group of senators who will bitterly op-
pose the ratification of the treaty.
Among them were Senators Gray, Mills,
Pasco, White, Caffery, Pettigrew and
McEnery. AS soon as the reading of
the documents was completed Senator
Davis, chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, moved that the mes
sage and the treaty be made public.
Senator Gray objected to vote on the
motion, and, under the rules, a single
objection carried the motion over for
day.
Davis Will Press His Motion.
Senator Davis gave notice that at the
next executive session he would press
the motion for publication, as all the
essential facts and almost a verbatim
copy of the treaty had been published in
the press of the country.
There was some discussion as to when
the treaty might be considered, and
Senator White asked if it was the inten.
ton to push it at this session, and, upon
the reply being made that it was pos
sible, the California senator said: II

to stay here all summer to prevent the

Presidents Message Brief.
The message of the president was not
a very long document. 1t dealt with
historical facts concerning the island
and showed that the United States and
Hawaii yearly grow more closely bound
to each other. This was not really an
nexation, he said, but a continuation of
existing relations with closer bonds be.
tween people closely related by blood
and kindred ties Since 1920, said the
president, the predominance of the
United States had been known. The
sending of the first envoy there brought
the islands in closer relations with the
United States, and those relations had
grown more firm by succeeding events.
Has Always Been Under Our Care.
At the time the tri-partite agreement
was made for the government of Samoa,
he said, Great Britain and Germany
wanted to include Hawaii in the group
over which a protectorate was estab-
lished, but the suggestion was rejected
by the United States because this gov
ernment held there already existed rela-
tions between Hawaii and the United
States which placed the islands under
the especial care of this country, and
this government could not allow any
other country to interfere in the affairs
of Hawaii
The annexation of the islands, said
the president, and making them part
of the United States, was in accordance
with the established policy of this coun-
try

New York, Dec. 2S.-The Herald says:
Three distinct poisons have been dis
