WHY THEY DESIRE THE RECIPROCITY TREATY
TO STAND.
Washington. May 5.-Hawaians now In this city
express surprise and regret at the action Of the
Senate Finance Committee in striking out Of the
Tariff bill the clause exempting Hawaiian imports
from the operations Of the act. They express con-
hdence and hope that the committees action Will
be negatived by the Senate and point to the fact
that under both the Mckinley and the Wilson bills
an attempt was made by indrection 10 abrogate
the reciprocity treaty and each time IT was voted
down by the Senate. The opinion IS expressed thai,
the discussion Of this matter naturally will pre-
cpitatc debate on the annexation question. This,
IL is pointed out will result in the latter not being
treated on its merits and in manner which It's
Importance demands. Favorable action by the
Senate on the committees report. II Is felt might
tend to ieopardze what prospects for annexation
