1t looks as If a compromise would be
effected and Toledo be chosen as the
place and some June date be selected.

The action of the Senate yesterday In
adopting Senator Morgan's amendment to
the suLory civil bin making IN appropria-

Pearl harbor, Hawaii indicates plainly the
indisposition on the part of the Senate to
revoke the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty.
1t has been repeatedly 5stated of late by
those opposed to the abrogation of this
treaty that if it were abrugated the United
States would have no moral right, to retain
Pearl harbor. ..ssih =
Senator Frye of Maine stated this very
forcefully in an interview in The Star a
day or two ag9, and the whole question

Pearl harbor was, ceded to the United

treaty. The United States has neglected
to improve this harbor as a coaling station
IN the manner 1t was designed 1t should be.
Now the question involved in the PROPOSE
