HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.

Memorial From the SON Francisco
Chamber of Commerce.
Senator Perkins Of California today pre-
scented to the Senate a memorial from the
chamber of commerce of San Francisco,
which was received by telegraph this morn
ing. The memorial is addressed to the
Senate and House of Representatives, and
says:
Your memorialists, citizens of the Pa
cific coast of the United States, respect
fully. but urgently, petition your august
body for the prompt annexation of the
Hawaiian republic.
While 1t is true that the Pacific coasts
interests demand it, we respectfully plead
for annexation on the broader ground of
national policy, prestige and commercial
necessity. We protest against the posi-
blity OF the great stronghold In mid-Pa-
cific being permitted occupation by any for
eign power a constant menace to our
country. Every consideration of patriot
ism, national safety and commercial inter-
est demands prompt territorial annexa-
ton.
III We object to Hawaiian annexation. We
should consistently cede Alaska to Great
Britain But we are confident that every
intelligent American. unbiased by prejudice
or personal interest, will support the policy
of the administration in the annexation of
this friendly island republic. which has
these many years sought to be incorporated
with the American nation.
LAS a political commercial necessity we
also pray that the United States govern
mept will ard and facilitate the connection
by cable of the Pacific coast with this
splendid new territory.
Confident in the wisdom and patriotism
of our oountrymen in Congress assembled,
We inscribe ourselves your fellow citizens.
Chambers of Commerce San Francisco,

HAWAIIAN. RECIPROCITY.


Change In Scntiment Of Those who
Favored AbrOGation.
The Senate this afternoon passed over
the Hawaiian question a. involved in the
tariff bill by permitting to stand In the bin
the House clause exempting from duty
goods imported from Hawaii under the
provisions of the reciprocity treaty.
When the question was taken up Mr.. Al
lison suggested that the matter be left az
the House had put 1t.
Some objection was made to this on the
part of the democrats, and Mr.. Jones Of
Arkansas criticised the reciprocity as un-
fair to the United States.
After that Mr. White of California criti-
cised the treaty and said that he was in
favor of providing years notice OF abro-
cation. but that in view of the conditions
referring to the treaty Of annexation) 1t
would be worse than folly to insist upon
action in the matter.
He therefore thought the best thing
would he to follow the suggestion OF M.
Allison and let the matter pass. This was
done, and the exemption clause stands IN
the bill
A number of prominent business men and
commercial organizations in San Francisco
and vicinity. whose names were attached to
petition in favor of the abrogation of the
reciprocity treaty. have their names strfck-
en- from the petition stating that their sig
natures were secured under a misappre-
hension or by Misrepresentation.
Senator Perkins said to a Star reporter
today that there had been a number Of
changes made in the petitions Of the ques-
ton of the reciprocity treaty prior to the
treaty of annexation being sent to the
Senate
Some, whose names had been on the Pc
tition against the treaty. have recalled
them. and Also a number who had been on
petitions favorable to the treaty have done
likewise. He said he thought these changes
about balanced each other.
The representatives of the sugar beet
districts. he said. have not changed their
position of antagonism to the treaty. The
changes favorable to the treaty, he said,
had been chiefly In commercial circles or
due to commercial Influences.

TARIFF RATES TOO HIGH

WASHINGTON, D. c., April lit is
quite probable that the Dingley tariff bill,
now in course of revision by the Finance
Committee, will be reported to the Senate
April 26. The business of the Senate is
now SO arranged that the decks can be
cleared for the consideration OF the bill
almost Immediately after it is reported.
During the past week determined con-
certed effort was made by the friends of
high rates on all important schedules to
force their views upon the committee, but
there is no good reason to suppose they
will succeed. The subcommittee took
hold of the work of revising the bill, with
the result that the rates were found too
high on almost all schedules. and it can
be stated on authority that the bill will
provide for material reduction in rates
