Treaty For Annexation Of the Islands
Being Prepared.

Treaty For Annexation Of the Islands
Being Prepared.
Washington, D. c., June IA
treaty for the annexation of Hawaii
to the United States will be cent to
the Senate soon after the return of
the President, unless present plans
are altered.
The treaty has been written and
oil the details were fully agreed upon
before the President and Secretary
Sherman left for the South. There
is no doubt, it is said, of the Presi-
dents acquiescsnce in the tsrms OF
the treaty for the reason that he was
made fully aware of them before he
left.
The treaty is on the general lines
of the treaty negotiated during the
Administration OF President Harrison,
and withdrawn by President Clsve-
land. It provides for the annexation
without the exactiop of conditions
on the part Of the Hawaiisns ~ to
the form of government to bs vouch
safed to Hawaii, leaving that ques.
tion to be entirely disposed of by
the government of the United States.
The United States will agree, how
ever, TO assume the debt of the pres
ent Hawaiian government, but will
come into possession Of all the
Hawaiian crown lands and other pos
sessions
Several Senators have received
definite information concerning the
existence of the treaty and all are
we'll acquainted with its terms,
though they refuse to discuss the
matter. The knowledge OF the ex
istence of the treaty has been COM
municated to members of the com
mittee on foreign relations and te
the finance committee. In the Re
publican caucus the subject of ths
treaty had been hinted at, hut il
rather a vague manner. Senator'
asserted that there were in progress
negotiations looking to annexation
but they would not aver that the,
knew treaty had been drawn mo-
would they give any assurances tina
it would be soon sent to the Senate
In private conversation with othe'
Senators, however, they gave iofor
nation that was definite enough t,
satisfy those with whom they talkst
that the treaty was not only to b
sent in, but that it was now draw

NEWSPAPER COMMENT.
How the Press Views the Eeath of
George and Its Political EHect.

Mr.. Georges untimely end before the
close of the canvass gives a certain tragic
moved the community 10 a very unusual
degree The time and form OF his death
leaves nothing to be regretted as far as he
is concerned. He had nothing to look for
ward TO, for 1t is all but certain that he
could not have been elected. His real value
lately lay in his stern and energetic pre-
sentation of Platt and Croker as criminals
to be punished. This was in a certain sense
new idea The moral law for the first
time in politics, we may say, spoke through
him to the masses of this city. There were
no mincing, no allowances, no compliments
or qualifications such as have been show
cred on some other city thieves and repro
bates. but the ten commandments in their
naked majesty. For this we honor his
memory. We believe every word he said in
this canvass will, now that he is gone re-
dound to the advantage of Mr.. Low.-New
York Evening Post Low.)
Henry George is dead. But as every
cause that makes for right is greater than
the greatest of it's champions, we must turn
from the bier whereon he lies, and, without
waiting for his consignment to earth. re-
sumo the battle now within forty-eight
hours of it's close. This is as he would have
had it; for this course in the face of the
stupendous issues at stake, shadows the
creed which inspired his life, and won for

made him famous The only man in the
field who now represents that for which
Henry George gave up his life is Seth Low.

General Opinion Is that Low VIII BE
Benented by Georges Death.

BENEFITED by Georges Death.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Washington
turned it's whole attention to-day tc specu-
lation on the effects of Henry Georges $
death on the Greater New York maycralty
fight. Many heartfelt expressions of re-
gret were heard over the death of Mr..
George, as respect for him as a man is al
most universal in this community among
those who knew him, and their number is
legion. Before leaving for Ohio several
members of his Cabinet and number of
personal friends called upon the President
at the White House. Their conversation
turned on the New York situation. One
gentleman who was present said afterwards
that the prevailing opinion was that the
effect of Georges death would be to ma
terially improve the chances of Seth Low.
The gentleman did not say that this was
the opinion of the President but it was the
drift of the expressions heard at the meet
ing.
The general view here comedies with that
heard in the White House. The substitu-
ton of another name for that of George
will have a tendency, according to popular
belief among the rank and file of politicians
here, to hold firm the Tammany revolters
who pulled away from Van Wyck because
of their hatred OF Croker and Crokerism,
but that Dayton would not be able to keep
the various other elements and factors sur
rounding George. and that there would be
q general transfer of the miscellaneous
George votes TO Low. The reports from
New York were watched for to-day as
eagerly as returns from a presidential cleo

campaign is intense in Washington. Mo-

Mr.. George was well known in Washing
tom He was at one time on excellent terms
with President Cleveland and took an
active part in the campaign of 1892 But
the attitude Of the Cleveland administra-
tion during the Chicago railway strike dis
pleased him, and after that he ceased to
visit Mr. Cleveland. 1t was the free trade
message of 1887 which won his most en-
thusiastic support, and as soon as Mr..
Cleveland retired from the presidency in
1859, Mr.. George began to predict that his
reelection to the presidency depended only
on the continuance of his life
