Mr.. Berry is one of the Congressional
partY that recently visited the Hawaiian
Islands. He comes back from those
islands imbued with the idea that annexa-
ton is bound to come and for one he is
heartily in favor of it.
Primarily Nj Berry would prefer an
independent republican form of govern.
ment at Hawaii, but his visit to the islands
and his studies of the conditions the, c
have proven 10 him that the government #
the little republic is not sufft GENTLY
strong to withstand the encroachments of
the other powers wfe look with Jealous
eyes upon the fruitful and delightful it
For this reason, and realizing that some
ration must take it under its protecting
wing, MI. Berry favors the immedi4te
action Of the American Government
Il believe many of the objections raised
Against annexation during the last 3d-
ninistration and during the last sessil n
uf this Congress have been removed, ana
ta"t the Senate will promptly rattfy the
treaty now pending before it," said Mr..
Berry. IF the Senate should be dilatoi Y
in its action on this matter, then | am
quite certain the House would be willing
tn take up and pass the bill which has
been introduced providing for the &c
cumpiishmeut OF the same purpose. The
Islands are essentially American and should
be ours politically a 5 they nov are com
