WASHINGTON, June 4.-Tne tariff de-
bate ls not proving a strong attraction
IN che Senate and the attendance in the
galleries today was small. The tariff
bill was taken up with little delay for
the morning business. Allison in
charge CT the bill askt d for an agree
nent that daily sessions of the senate
begin at II on snd after Wednesday
next. Vest of Missouri preferred to
have the agreement conditioned on az
understanding for daily adj )urnmente
at 8. Allison stated that there would
be no dIffioultg about that and the
agreement for early sessions was effect
ed. Allen of Nebraska then reverted TO
the colloquy of last Saturday in which
he held snat il was bhe right and duty
OF the government to take legal steps to
dissolve the sugar trust. Allen next
spoke in favor of sbrogstion the of Hs-
wsiian treaty.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The treaty
for the annexation of the Hsweiien
Islands to the Uoited States will be
sent to the Senate by President Nc
Kinley tomorrow, unless the present
plans are changed. Men close to the
Administration and others engaged in
pushing through the tariff bill have
been informed that the treaty will be
transmitted TO the Senate tomorrow.
Is is stated there will be no considera-
sion of the Hawaiian reciprocity pro-
vision of the tariff bill until the treaty
is received.
One point of Importance in which the
treaty differs from the convention nego-
tisted by Secretary Foster in President
HsrEison's administration is the lack of
any provision for ex Q leen Liliukslsni
aud Princess K4iulani. 10 the original
treaty it was provided that the govern
nent of the United States should pay
the ex Queen sun of $4,000 cash and
she same amount as a pension each year
during the remainder OF her life, pro-
v:ded she in good faith submitted to
the government OF the United States
and local government of the islands.
Princess Kaiulsni being next in line Of
royal blood was to receive a cash pay
ment OF $4,000, but no pension un-
der similar provisions as in case of the
exc leen.
