The Hawaiian annexation treaty was
considered Friday by the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations. The treaty
and accompanying papers were referred
to subcommittee, consisting Of Sena-
tors Foraker, Davis and Morgan, with
Instructions to investigate the entire
question and report to the full COM
mittee. The papers read included the
protest made by Japan. 1t is not
protest against the form of the docu-
ment, but against the document itself,
or rather against the transaction, as
being opposed to Japan's interests. The
specific reason alleged for the protest
is that the contamination of the agree
ment between Hawaii and the United
States would disturb the existing trade
relations of the North Pacific and nullify
treaty rights.

Here is more heresy. Our Cana
dian neighbors have caught it. The
Rev. Mr.. Noble of Quebec, a clergy.
man Of the Church of England, write:
as follows
''First, the cross is an ancient heath
ern idol, and was so used thousand
years before Christ. 1t was carried il
procession at the orgies of Bacchus, and
was worshipped by virgin prostitution
in Babylon, and was worn by the an.
cient priest of Egypt. Second, it be
came associated with corrupt forms o.
Christianity about the end of the fourth
century after Christ, and is now wor
shipped by Romanists and Ritualiss
in man-degrading and God dishonor
ing manner. Third, as an idol and al
incentive to idolatry, it was cast out o.
| Church OF England at the Reformation
with many other idols of bygone ages
Fourth, an organized band of lawless
traitors are seeking to reintroduce it i'll
to the Protestant churches of Euglan
and Ireland, with accessories Of ancien
idolatry. 1t is not, therefore, Chris
tan emblem, but heather idol; anc
its association with Christianity is con
temporaneous with the ingress Of ;
dominant heathenism, in and after th
the reign of Constantine, when the olt
noblesse OF heather Rome were force,
into the Christian church. And a
DR.. Hook has well said: 1T was a
bused to purposes of superstition an'
idolatry in the middle ages, and there
fore rightly and wisely did our reform
ers cast it out Of the Church Of Eng
