Improvement.

STEP TOWARD ANNEXATION
General Foreign News - Plague

kinley'S Cabinet.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The Sun has the
following from Washington; The Ha
waiian question was revived in the Sem
ate this afternoon by Senator Frye of
Maine. He introduced an amendment to
the sundry civil bill appropriating $780,,
coo for the Improvement of Pearl Har-
Dor. For the United States to spend
money in the Improvement of Pearl Har-
Dor would be. in the opinion of the Sen
ator, act of sovereignty which, if al
lowed TO proceed, would establish the
fact of American possession.
In discussing the subject today he said:
Il have several objects in introducing
this amendment. One of these is that /
believe it Will be well for the United
States to exercise an act of sovereignty
in Pearl Harbor. Our jurisdiction over
Pearl HarbOr dates from the convention
of 1887. / do not imagine that any OBJ
lection would be made by the present
Government of Hawaii to the exercise of
sovereignty by the United States. At any
rate, il will do no harm to make the at
tempt.
But this is not the only reason why
L introduced the amendment. l think it
is high time that Pearl Harbor should be
fitted for the objects intended under the
convention through which it came under
American control. This is the finest har-
Dor in the Pacific. 1t is big enough to
float both the American and British Ma
vieS without crowding, and the only thing
needed to make 1t available is to clear
away the bar at its mouth, which Ad-
miraI Walker has reported can ice done
at a cost of 100000 at the outside. 1t is
too early to talk about annexation, but
if the Islands are ever to be annexed, of
course it would be an advantage to have
the harbor improved. When the amend
ment comes up it may bring on more or
less of debate about annexation"
DO you think the country is still ia
vorable to annexation ~
II have no doubt of it. Not much may
be said now, but if the question should
be brought up seriously you would quick
~ discover what the feeling was"
But how about the report that Mr.
Mckinley is opposed to annexation
Il do not believe he ever said anything
of the kind, but I have no doubt the sugar
interests are hostile to annexation as
they have been all along. The opposition
from the beginning has been due chiefly
to sugar. / am not SO sure but that the
United States win be compelled to take
the Islands whether they are wanted or
not. Japan is looking that way, and the
Japanese on the Islands are beginning
to agitate for suffrage, which would put
them in practical control

REVENUE AND RECIPROCITY.
That VIII BE Principal Features o.
New Tariff Bill

That VIII BE Principal Features of
New Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-For the first
time it is possible TO give the Republican
tariff bill as far as it has been COM
pleted. Reciprocity and $5o,000,0QO more
annual revenue are the principal features
Of the bill.
The Dingley measure is not dupli-
cate OF the Mckinley bill, some of the
schedules of the Wilson bill being re-
tanned. The bill is not completed yet,
and will not be during this session of
Congress. The Republican members of
the committee are sitting every day, and
viii pursue the same policy after March
4th. If the measure is completed in time
to present Immediately after the organi-
cation Of the next House Chairman Ding
ley viii be satisfied
The details of reciprocity are yet to
be agreed upon, but the main features
will be in the lowering of the reciprocal
duties.
Every schedule in the bill has been dis
cussed at least in part, but not one of
them can be called finished. In each
one there is something to be still straight
ened out.
Woods, cottons and silks are still in
the balance. There is where the rub
comes, and there is where the specific
duties must come in, for it is a noticea-
BILE feature of this new bill that so far
ad valorem duties predominant.

WANT THEIR MONEY.
Beet Sugar Producers CIamoring for
Bounty Funds.

bounty Funds.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 3-Congressman
Bowers made an argument before the
Appropriations Committee today for the
beet sugar producers, who insist that the
Government should pay them what II
contracted to do by the terms of the
bounty section of the Mckinley law. He
cited the case of the Chino factory in
California, which by reason of the bounty
provision, contracted with the farmers
to pay s. a ton for beets for five years.
On the repeal of the law it had to keep
only $3.50 and 81 ton. He made the
point that the Gyernment should be hon
est with the people and keep its
tracts.
Chairman Cannon suggested that the
claimants of the $40 of a cent pound
on sugar should go into court and get
judgment against the Government, but
admitted to Bowers that a court could
not compel appropriation, which was
followed up by the Californian declaring
that the people wanted Congress to deal
fairly as they were compelled to deal
with each other.
The Louisiana delegation in Congress
also appeared before the Appropriations
Committee Buck of Louisiana spoke for
the sugar growers.
The representatives of the sugar grow
ing interests want appropriation OF
81 ,04S, 900 to settle the balance of the
bounties which they claim are due them
under the act passed i'm the last session
of the Eifty-third Congress. This act
gave the sugar growers something over
s. 900, 900 for the bounty which was guar
anteed them by the Mckinley law, but
