A QUlD PRO QUO.
The London Globe Says II Must Be
Given Before Annexation.
Other English Newspapers Make No
Serious Objection to the Treaty.

London. June i5.-All tho afternoon news
papers discuss the Hawaiian question in the
light of proposed -aanaxatinn of tha islands to
the United States. Tho Globe says: 1.-THE
question is essentially international and can
not be disposed of by the decree of one power
alone. Great Britain and France are in the
same position toward Eawaii as the United
States. In our case IL Hawaii is converted
into n strong naval station IL will practically
command tho alternative route TO the far east,
and Great Britain has every right TO be con-
suited before the scheme is carried farther.
Lord Salisbury's consent should not be given
unless quid pro quo is given for tearing up
the present treaty"
The Pail Mall Gazette says that 1T seems
probable that Hawaii will be under the stars
and stripes shortly, and no one here will say
n word against IT,. We should DO glad TO see
Hawaii an American rather than any other
colony"
The Westminster Gazette says Great Britain
will not object TO the annexation of Hawaii.
though IL remains TO be seen how Japan will
take Americas action.
