AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 8.-The NationaN
Prison association has decided II would
hold the next annual meeting In In.

ness Of the morning session was the
submission Of the report Of the commit
tee on criminal law reform. The report
stated that the progress Of crime was
something frightful, and recommends
that it should be successfully checked
By the following changes In the hand.
Ling Of the criminals Of the world.
Greater security of punishment, do.

conviction more summary and trial

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.

Ratification Of the Treaty Negotiated Ia
Considered Desirable.
By special message dated the 10th day
OF June last laid before the senate q
treaty signed that day by the plenipoten-
tiaries Of the United States and Of the
republic Of Hawaii having for its purpose
the incorporation Of the Hawaiian ISL
ands a. an integral part Of the United
States and under its sovereignty.
While confidently disavowing from q
very early period any aggressive policy
OF absorption in regard to the Hawaiian
group, long series Of declarations
through three-quarters Of century has
proclaimed the vital interest Of the United
States, in the independent life of the isl.
ands and their intimate commercial de-
tendency upon this country. At the same
time 1t has been repeatedly asserted that
In no event could the entity of Hawaiian
statehood cease by their passage un-
der the dominion or influence of an
other power than the United States. Un.
der these circumstances the logic of events
required that annexation, heretofore Of
fered but declined, should in the ripeness
OF time come about as the natural result
OF the strengthening tho ties that bind us
to those islands and be realized by the
free will of the Hawaiian state.
That treaty was unanimously ratified
without amendment by the senate and
president of the republic of Hawaii on the
10th Of September last, and only awaits
the favorable action of the American sen-
ate to effect The complete absorption Of
the islands into the domain of the United
States. What the conditions of such a
union shall be, tho political relation
thereof to the United States, the character
of the local administration, the quality
and degree Of the elective franchise Of
the inhabitants, the extension of the fed
eral laws to the territory, the enactment
of special laws to At tho peculiar condition
thereof, the regulation II need be of the
labor system therein, are all matters
which tho treaty has wisely relegated to

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Following ID
the first annual message Of President
Mckinley to congress:
To the Senate and House Of Represents
tives:
1t gives me pleasure to extend greeting
10 the Nftv-fourth congress assembled at
the seat of governrnent, with many Of
whose senators and Representatives, I have
been associated in the Legislative service.
Their meeting occurs under felicitous
conditions, justifying sincere oongratulA-
tion and calling for our grateful acknowl-
edgment to beneficent Providence which
has 80 dgnally blessed and prospered us
as nation. Peace and good will with
all the nations of the earth continue un-
broken.
Patriotism Now Above Partizanship.
"A matter of genuine satisfaction ID the
growing feeling Of fraternal regard and
unification of all sections of our country,
the incompleteness of which has too long
delayed realization of the highest bless
ings Of the Union. The spirit Of patriot
ism is universal and is ever increasing in
fervor. The public questions which now
most engross us are lifted far above
either partizanship, prejudice or former
sectional differences. They affect every
part of our common country alike and
permit of no division on ancient lines.
Questions of foreign policy, Of revenue,
the soundness Of thecurrency, the inviola-
bility of national obligations, the i'm
provement Of the public service, appeal to
the individual conscience Of every earnest
citizen to whatever party he belongs OF
in whatever section Of the country he may
reside.

THE CUBAN QUESTION.

The most important problem with witch
