THE TREATY TO BE TAKEN UP.
IT WILL BE CONSIDERED BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
IN TTIU SycNATH

THE TREATY To BE TAKEN UP.
IT WILL BE CONSIDERED BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
IN THE SENATE
Washington Dec 1.-THE supporters Of Ha-
waiian annexation have definitely decided to
consider the question in executive session Of
the Senate In order to do this 1t will be neces-
sary for them to take up the annexation treaty
rather than q Joint resolution providing for
annexation. Those who were at first inclined
to believe that unless 1t became evident that the
two thirds vote necessary to secure the ratif1oa
ton Of the treaty was assured from the be-
ginning, It would be q waste Of time to take the
matter up at all ON the basis of the treaty. APP
pear to have changed their minds and to be at
least disposed to defer to the opinions Of the
majority who oppose this course
II is now said on behalf Of the friends Of
annexationists that to abandon the treaty at the
present time would create the impression that
they had given UP the fight. They also think
thatEthe consideration OF the question In secret
session will serve to blind those who profess to
be favorable to annexation. and make sure OF
holding at least q majority OF the Senate Tor .
resolution II 1t should In the END be mace evi-
dent that 1t is necessary to resort TO this course
The stanchest friends Of annexation admit
that 1t will be well-nigh impossible to secure
the two thirds vote necessary TO ratiiy the
treaty but they contend that they Will come
near reaching the necessary number. Or the
sixty votes necessary they claim to nave nity-
four pledged, and they think 1t possible that
they may secure two or three more. Ineir p'a,,,
however contemplates a full debate on Inc
treaty in executive session. and the subsequent
transfer Of the matter, IL necessary, 10 the open
Senate on a resolution similar to that by wnicn
Texas was annexed and the pressing OF this
resolution to q speedy vote The resolution Will
require only majority OF votes. put II must
also pass the House. where delay Is reared.

NOT OPPOSED BY JAPAN.
ATTITUDE OF THAT COUNTRY IN RE-
GARD TO ANNEXATION OF HAWAII


TAIN JAPANESE RIoErs-IMP1-Icrr TRUST
MTHE GOOD PATH OF THE UNITED
srArEs-RUMoRs DENIED BIZ
MINISTER HosHI.
Washington. Dec 1.-THE return Of Mr..
Hoshi. the japanese Minister. from brief leave
OF absence in Japan has drawn renewed at
tention to the question Of Japan's attitude tow
ard Hawaiian annexation. Mr.. Hoshi said to-
day that while he had no intention Of discuss
ing in the newspapers the official relations OF
his country with the United States. he thought
II was due to both Governments to disavow IN
the most public manner the sentiments and de-
signs regarding Hawaiian annexation, fire.
ouently attributed to Japan in the press Of this
country.
His own return, he said. had been made the
occasion for the renewal Of rumors Of this de-
scription. and on that account he felt 1t to be
tis duty to state that 1t is absolutely untrue
that the Japanese Government is opposing In
any manner whatever the annexation Of Ha-
wall to the United States. Nothing could be
further from the truth. 1t 10 true that Japan
at one time formally protested against annexa-
ton, but that protest was intended to protect
certain clearly defined rights pertaining to
Japan and her people. which momentaily ap-
peared to be imperilled
Subsequent occurrences. Mr.. Hoshi added.
have shown that the japanese Government was
right In the belief. frankly expressed IN that
protest. that Japan could confidently rely upon
the good feeling and the good faith Of the
United States to take no hasty or i-consdered
step subversive OF the rights of a Government
end people with whom this Government and
the American people have always maintained the
closest and most cordial relations. And while
the question cannot yet be regarded def
nitely settled in all particulars. Mr. Hoshi said
that he had no hesitation in expressing the
firm conviction that all matters OF mutual con-
Germ between the United States and Japan ars-
ing from the annexation OF Hawaii would be
eQuitably and honorably adjusted.
To an inquiry regarding the instructions
which his Government had given him during his
recent visit to Japan Mr.. Hoshi said that
while Of course ne could not reveal the nature
Of those instructions. 1t was not improper for
him to say that they were Of kind, in his
opinion. to facilitate materially the settlement
of the questions resulting from the annexation
of Hawaii. In which Japan can rightfully claim
to be interested. There was no reason. he said.
why the full and frank discussion. and in the
end the Just settlement. Of all such questions
should create the slightest friction between the
two countries.
