TO ANNEX HAWAII.
A Treaty Said To Be All Ready To BE
Signed.

Washington, June IA treaty for the
States will be sent to the Senate soor
after the return of the President, unless
present plans are altered,
The treaty has been written and all its
details were fully agreed upon before the
President and Secretary Sherman left
for the south.
There is no doubt, it is said, of the
Presidents acquiescence.
The treaty is on the general lines OF
the treaty. negotiated during the admin
istration of President Harrison. 1t pro
vides for annexation without the exaction
9 conditions on the part of the Hawai-.
ians as to the form of government to be
vouchsafed to Hawaii, leaving that ques-
ton to be entirely disposed of by the gov
eminent of the United States.
The United States will agree, however,
to assume the debt of the present Hawai-.
ian government, but will come into pos
session of all the Hawaiian crown lands
and other possessions.
The knowledge of the existence of the
treaty has been communicated to the
members of the committee on foreign re-
latlons and also to members of the
finance committee.
In the Republican caucuses the subject
OF the treaty had been discussed, but in
a rather vague manner.
Lit is known that the approval of the
committee on foreign relations is assured,
as eight members of the committee have
approved it's terms. This will enable
the committee to act speedily SO that it
may be taken up as soon as the tariff bill
has been disposed of.
The Senate has been canvassed to a
certain extent by senators favoring an
nexation and while there are some sena-
tors who are -committal, the supper
tiers Of the proposition say they believe
that they can count upon the two.thirds
vote necessary to insure ratification
The officials at the State Department
steadfastly refuse to make any statements
as to the negotiations of a treaty provid-
ing for the annexation of Hawaii and at
the Hawaiian legation the same silence
is observed. However, it is known that
the treaty, though not yet signed. is
drawn up ready for signature, and as
the President is fully aware of its scope
there is no reason to doubt that he will
authorize it's signature In this case
it is expected that the document will be
sent to the Senate for it's action very
soon, even within a week, it is said in
some well-informed quarters.

Baseball Notes.

When the Maine league managers came
to look the present schedule over Sunday
they found they could not improve it
much after all, and after making the
changes noted in yesterdays PRESS
voted to let it stand. The principal
trouble was playing single games in
a town, but as this continues only week
longer under the original schedule 1T was
thought best to let it stand, as the games
had been advertised in part of the cities.
The Portland game at Lewiston and the
Rockland game at Augusta were post
poned on account of rain.
In regard to the situation in Rockland,
the Star of Monday morning quoted Capt.
Wiley as saying that the friends of the
sport in that city must come to the relief
of the association if the game is to con
tinue in that city. He said he had been
soliciting assistance and had been partial
~ successful.
Waterville has been mentioned as an
available city in case of a vacancy in the
Maine league.
All the Maine managers had a good
word to say for Charlie Brady's work as
umpire at the meeting Sunday.
Belfast has signed Tom Donahue, a
brother of Tim, the famous Chicago
catcher who has played with the Dover
and Lewiston teams of the New England
league. Centre Fielder Kane has been re-
leased.
The proposed trip of some of the Maine
league clubs to Montreal has been given
up.
Rockland Courier Gazette: "The Rock
land management cannot expect us to at
tend games if the team cannot win games.
We aresnot used to being tail enders, and
these games lost by one and two runs
dom cut much ice. Rockland will sup
port winning team, but not losing
one, :" remarked an enthusiast yesterday
1t is indeed, new experience for Rock
land to trail along in the rear, and yet no
one realizes what Rockland wants more
than does Manager Quinn. We believe
that winning team can be run here sue
cessfully."
If the man the. Courier Gazette
quotes represents the feeling in Rockland
they ought not to have ball team there.
If that feeling prevailed everywhere there
would be no baseball at all. The cry is
the cry of the quitter, not the sportsman.
AS for Rockland not being used to trail
ing when pray has that city ever COM
peted against Portland. Lewiston and
Bangor and the other cities which COM
prise the Maine league? Keeping ahead of
Thomaston and Warren is altogether a
different thing from keeping ahead of live
cities in baseball, though Rockland didn' t
even do that il we remember rightly. It
is much more to Rockland's credit to
stand fourth in league composed of the
leading cities of the state than first in a
league when the little villages in it's inn
mediate vicinity comprise the circuit {
The Bangor Commercial printed n.y.
sterical article on the college base ball
situation Saturday in which it charged
that it had been arranged between
Colby and Bates for the latter to win
the two games played at Waterville Sat-
urday. 1t so happened Colby won one of
the games which places the Commercial
writer in rather ansunenyiable light.

The Veterans on Deck.

Washington, June 1.-THE war veterans
are rushing forward their applications for
pensions under the new administration
and the increase in the volume of such
business has been SO extraordinary as to
necessitate the details today of thirty
additional clerks to the record division of
the pension bureau to look after the
claims. In the ten days ending last
Saturday the number of applications of
all kinds for pensions aggregated 143, 600.
During the eighty-three days subsequent
to March last, the record division of the
office disposed of "a, 100 applications. The
approximate number of such claims now
pending in the bureau is $1,000.
