among thc passengers who arrived
from Honolulu upon the steamship
Belgic to-day.
Senator Morgan expressed himself as
well pleased with what he s.iw and

of annexation. and intimatcs that Ha-

try before the clcse of the coming yenr.
Hawaii Is certainly going to be n
state: but whether II will be at the
time Of Its annexation or later remains
to be seen. Should 1t he annexed aa a
territory. the Hawaiian commissioners
will surely recommend that the islands
be admitted to statehood. and special
act Of Congress, would undoubtedly FOL.

beginning. but l WIS surprised upon
investigating the latter TO find that the
arguments In favor oi the movement
had been unsierxta'e,i. In my opinion
Hawaii Is absolutely Indispensable to
the United States. and we must have
those islands. The only opposition
found was that CT few Of LIiuokalani

unions for the seventeenth annual CON-
vention Of the American Federation Of
Labor. to be held at Nashville, Tennes-

cember 18th, next. Resolutions Of any
character, or propositions for changes
In the constitution intended for consi,l-
Grafton by the convention must le sub
mitfed to the secretary at least two
weeks prior to the meeting.
The Gull makes strong plea for a
full attendance Of workmen at this coi-
ventiOn and states that NO convention
In recent years has been called upon to
deal with more mOlnentOus questions
than confront the workers OF to-day.
The objects OF the convention are in
part. thus set Out in the call:
"The severlties of the Industrial stag.
nation Of the past four years have not
yet been nbatcd. the wrongs from which
the workers suffer have not been right
ed. the Injustice imposed upon our 10y.
al people repains unremedled. the over
worked large mass md the unemployed
many are still testimony 10 the folly OF
our age: the employment Of children in
our factories and workshops. though
modified, fingers with us still. and tn.
spectacle IL witnessed OF idle men and
labOriously busy children. Legislatures
more concerned with the privileges of
the few than the rights Of the many !:
with public nssemblage and free speech
invaded. threatened or forbidden. nnI
the modern judicial weapon OF injunc-
tion utilized in the effort to crush labor
These rights and wrongs. and others of
equal importance, but too numerous for
reference here. must OF necessity be
considered by the forthcoming conven-
tion and such action devised ns shall
tend to attain the one and set aside the
other"
