ing arguments.
MKINLEY's MESSAGE.
Tho followi::, Is tho full text Of

President Mckinley to accompany
tho Hawaiian treaty:
"Totho Senate ofth United States
"I transmit herewith to tho senate
in order that after duo consideration,
the constitutional function of advice
and consent may be exercised by
that body Il treaty for the annexation
of tho republic of Hlwuii to tho
United States, signed in this capitol
by the plenipotontiarios Of both par
ties, on the 10th Of June instant.
"For the hotter understanding of
the subject transmit, in addition, Il
report Of tho secretary of state,
briefly reviewing the negotiation
which has led to this important re,
suit.
"Thc incorporation Of tho Haw-
ilan islands into the body polite of
the United States is necessary and
fit sequel to the events which since II
very early period of our history has
controlled tho intercourse and pre-
scrlbcd the association Of tho United
States and the Hawaiian islands.
The predominanco of American in
forests in that ncighboring locality
was first asserted il 1920 by sending
to the islands a representative agcnt
Of the United States. 1t found fur
thor expression by tho signature of Il
treaty of friendship, commerce and
navigation with tho king in 1926, the
first international compact negotiated
by Hawaii
"Ihis was signally announced in
1913 and then tho convention of the
United States caused the British
government to disavow seizure of the
Sandwich Islands by British naval
commander and to recognize them
