LAWYERS TO DO IT.

TALK OF A LEGAL COMMISSION
TO RETRlAME THE LAWS OF THE
STATE
Just before the General Assembly ad-
journed last Spring it was proposed to
adopt a resolution appointing a num-
ber Of capable lawyers to go to work
on the Revised Code Immediately after
the Constitutional Convention con-
cluded its labors and to make the laws
therein conform with the new Consti-
tuition. leaving to the members of the
General Assembly the work or enact
ing the laws so changed, thus saving
several weeks OF time this Winter
Some of the members objected to this,
as they thought it hid some sinister
purpose. Others thought they might as
well remain in session a little longer
this Winter and pay the lawyers con-
siderably less. Objection followed OBJ
lection until the project was aban-
doned.
Now the members are beginning to
realize that the task which they refused
to consider at that time has to be done
by lawyers, and they are considering
how many IL will take to do it The
latest proposition Is TO appoint a COM
mission of five of the ablest lawyers in
the state, who can be found willing to
accept the work, and to set them at it
Immediately after the General Assem-
bly, reconvenes. Il is said that two OF
these lawyers will be selected to pay
particular attention to laws affecting
Wilmington and that they and another
lawyer, all members Of the bar Of this
county, will go over the laws affecting
the county ait large. Kent and Sussex
counties will, it Is said, have one law
yer each for the special work of alter
ing the laws of their respective coun-
ties. and that the entire commission
will take into consideration the laws Of
the state at large One or two Of the
members of the General Assembly say
that while they have no knowldge OF
the details of any plan proposed, they
are convinced that something must be
done just as soon as the General As
sembly meets, and that certain number
Of lawyers must be employed, for the
members are wholly untitled to under
take such a gigantic task.

ANNEXATION PROSPECTS
SUGAR HAS ADVANCED ONE EIGHTH
OF GENT.
The Cheering News IN tho Coaat
Papers Confirmed by Private Dis
patchs 60 Local Firms.

The news that President Nc
Kinley was to send the annexa.
ton treaty to the Senate on June
16, brought by the Australia this
morning, was somewhat unexpect-
ed but none the less welcome.
From advices received by the An
nexation Club and others by the
previous mail it was not expected
that Hawaiian annexation would
be brought up until after the pas
sage of the tariff bill and the adj
journment of Congress. 1t now
appears that the Republican SEN
ators who were opposed to reci-
procity but in favor of annexation
have forced the issue now as the
only means to defeat the rapaci-
GUS schemes of the Sugar Trust.
Upon being shown the late dis
patch printed in another column
j. B. Atherton, the head of the
firm of Castle & Cooke, said this
morning:
"Yes, that's all right. We have
received from our correspondents
in the United States the same in
telligence but from other sources.
The efforts of our enemies
have forced our friends to
act sooner than we antici-
psted. If Hawaii is annexed
in the next few weeks as seems
more than likely, we can thank
the Sugar Trust for it. 1 believe
President McKinley's action has
been precipitated by the hostility
of Senator Nelson and others to
the Sugar Trust and its schemes"
At the Annexation Club head
quarters there was much Joy over
similar favorable news received
by its officers in direct kilograms.
The opinion was freely expressed
that Senators Nelson, Thurston
and Allen are responsible for fore
ing annexation to the front in
order to put a quietus on the sugar
questions involved in the tariff
bill, and that there is little doubt
that the Senate will ratify the
treaty in short order. Executive
officer Brown was decidedly of
the opinion that the President
would never send the treaty to the
Senate without knowing in ad-
vance that it would be passed.
That the early passage of the
treaty by the United States will
involve a special session of the
Hawaiian Legislature, goes with
out saying. Such course is al
ready foreshadowed among the
dispatches printed elsewhere.
In addition to the favorable an
nexation news, local sugar men
have extra reason to be thankful
over rise of one-eighth of cent
per pound in sugar, the latest
quotation being $3.50.
Minister King said.at noon that
the dispatches received from Min
lister Hatch were dated June Is
and contained the news that the
old Hawaiian treaty, with some
amendments, was to be submitted
by President Mckinley within
day or two after to the United
States Senate. The amendments
to the treaty we're correctly re-
ported in the latest coast dispatch
of the afternoon of June Is.
| The Government has received
the following dispatch from Min
lister Hatch:
1 "New annexation treaty agreed
upon, substantially similar to
Harrison's. Article 6 omitted.
Will be submitted to Senate this
week."
| Article 6 refers to pension to
