Regarding Annexation.

cisco, Dec. 23).-The Mariposa arrived
from San Francisco yesterday. bringing
news Of the opening of Congress- Re
sarding the annexation treaty, the Ha-
waiian Government received advices by
wire from Washington on the day the
steamer sailed, which state that the OPP
position is not as strong as indicated in
the press dispatches.
L. 4. Thurston wired that the stua-
ton had not developed sufficiently to en-
able one to arrive at decision as to the
course to be followed; that there is no
present intention to abandon the treaty,
and the Republican leaders are giving
the subject earnest attention. He states
further that the decision as to the
course of action would probably await
the return of the President from Can
ton.
A number of citizens received letters
in which different views as to the route
TO annexation were given. Some say the
treaty will go through the Senate with
the required two-thirds vote. Others
believe there will be long fight in Con-
gress, with the outcome of the passage
of a joint resolution by a rousing big
majority in each branch.
