HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Impression That 1t Will Not be Rati-
fled at the Present Session.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE i'm
preston is now prevalent in the Senate,
| even by the friends of Hawaiian an
nexation, that the treaty cannot be rati-
fed at the present session, if there is
| any such opposition as promised. The
programme now is that the treaty will
be reported from the committee, and
that after the tariff bill has passed it
will be called up. The Senate will be
| asked If a time for a vote can be
fixed, and upon the objections fixed by
the opponents of the treaty its friends
will say that they are content to allow
it to lie over until the next session.
One reason for not pressing the treaty
IN the face of opposition is that the
| sentiment which may only partially
oppose the treaty will be crystallized
which is not desirable. 1t is also be-
HeVed that Senators may become inf1u-
