Mi. Lofi4 4. Thurstan. who was
early in the Cleveland administration
given hint by the late Secretary
Gresham that his resignation as
Hawaiin minister to the United States
would be agreeable and who vas wise
enough to accept the hint and go
home. has been in Washington for
several weeks. He is Tow special

Hawaiin government. He than.h. the
annexation business was all fixed. blt
the fight that is heipg made to have a
clause inserted in the new tariff bill
abrogating the treaty with Hawaii.
under which sngar comes into the [.

Next fo annexation his government
values tlrat treaty. which practically
amounts to commercial annexation.
Mr.. Thurston has filed long arga
menf against abrogation of the treaty

the treaty is Of great financial advan-
tage to the United States.
