full text Of the message sent TO the Senate yes
terday by President Mckinley. TO accompany the
Hawaiian treaty:
To the Senate Of the United States: I trans
NIT herewith to the Senate, IN order that. after
due consideration. the constitutional function OF
advice and consent may be exercised by that
body, treaty for the annexation of the Repub-
Nc-of Hawaii TO the United States. signed in this
capital by the plenipoteniaries Of the parties on
the 10Th of June instant. For the better under
standing Of the subject, transmit in addition
report Of the Secretary of State briefly reviewing
the negotiation which has led to this important
result.
into the body polite Of the United States is the
necessary and fitting sequel TO the chain OF
events which, from very early period OF our
history, has controlled the intercourse and pre-
scribed the association Of the United States and
the Hawaiian Islands. The predomlnance or
American interests in that neighboring territory
was first asserted In 1920 by sending TO the ISL
ands a representative agent OF the United States.
II found further expression by the signature OF
treaty OF friendship. commerce and navigation

compact negotiated by Hawaii II was signally
announced in 1S43, when the Intervention OF the
United States caused the British Government 10
disavow the seizure of the Sandwich Islands by
them by treaty as independent State. re-

islands or eXerting pro;ectorate over them.

From this iirne until the outbreak OF the war In
1861 the policy OF the United States toward
Hawaii and of the Hawaiian sovereign toward
the United States was exempliied by continued
negotiations for annexation or for reserved
