HAWAIIAN QUESTION
Bids Fair to Give the Administra-
ton Much Difficulty.

New York, June ia special 10 the
Herald from Washington says:
The Hawaiian question. in its various
aspects, bids fair 10 give the admins
tration almost as much concern as the
Cuban difficulty. Ever since the cleo
ton of President Mckinley the friends
of annexation have been urging hiTn TO
take up their cause and revive tie an
nexation treaty which was Withdrawn
from the senate by President Cleve-
land. They have received the ini3res-
sion that Mr.. Mckinley is favorable to
annexation.
The Hawaiian problem is further
complicated by the question of contin-
uing the reciprocity treaty in force,
which is being agitated in congress in
connection with the sugar schedule.
and by the questions pending between
Hawaii and Japan relating to immi-
grafton and other controversies be-
tween these two governments. The re-
suit OF the Republican senatorial eau
Gus this week will have an important
bearing on the question of the treaty,
and if it should be decided to take
action looking to its abrogation, would
greatly increase the efforts of the an
neXa tionists.
