THE Annexation TREATY
DOCUMENT SIGNED ON july 1t
BY THE PRESIDENT.
japanese Government Said to Protest
japanese Press Comments Jnfav-
orably Upon Annexation by y. S.

WASHINGTON, June ia treaty
of annexation between the United
States and Hawaii was signed here
yesterday.
!, !. LONDON, June. ia treaty pro-
viding for the annexation of Hawaii
to the United States has been signed
at Washington, and will be submitted
to the Senate forthwith.
The Japanese Government has en-
tered a protest against tine treaty.
AN ARTFUL STRATAGEM.
The Japan Gazette has the follow:
ing: By an artful strategem, as skill
fully planned as it was daringly exc
cuted, the Americans in Hawaii are
apparently on the eve of witnessing
the consummation of their pet pro-
ject. The overthrow of Queen Lilo
kalani was not undertaken merely to
make Hawaii Republic, but ID pave
the way for it's admission to the Great-
er Republic whose protection has al
ways been available in case other ma
tions showed disposition 70 pounce
upon the islands. The artifice of irIi-
tating the Japanese, so as to mislead
the American public into the belief
that Japan aims at annexation work
ed like a charm. Alarmed at con-
tingency which is exceedingly remote,
the United States President IS cCn-
templating annexation. The Honolulu
politicians have played a good poker
hand and bluffed the free and en-
lightened citizens of the United States.
Let us hope the United States will
never have cause to regret decision
into which they have been so palpably
tricked.
TO TAKE PROMPT STEPS.
The Japan Times, in summing up g
long editorial says: From every poiu'
of view, the step taken by the Wash
ington Cabinet is a matter for the
most profound regret. We have nc
doubt that the Imperial Government
will take prompt and firm steps to i'm
press upon the American Government
the gravity of the course taken by it
and to adopt whatever measures may
be necessary to safeguard the immense
interest this country possesses in Ha
waii.
JAPAN TO TAKE HAWAII.
The Japan Herald is warlike, ant
intends to annex the islands whethe
the United States like it or no. l
says:
There is nothing to prevent Japal
from landing 100000 men on tn,
Sandwich islands in thirty or fort,
days, when they decide to do so, ant
unless the Government of Presiden
Dole makes the proper amends, tina
is precisely what will be most likel,
to happen. To those who doubt wha
the Army Department can do, I ma,
say that 10000 men, 5000 horses, wit
ammunition, field guns and food fo
three months, were embarked an
sent away towards their destination
in just ten hours and a half withou
the slightest confusion in the lat
war.
Finally, Marquis Ito's sudden depal
ture for London is more than susp
cious. BY kilograms from New Yor
he arrived there at p. M, May q
and sailed for London on May 2s. ]
England will only say "We will stan
aside" the Sandwich islands will be
come Japanese territory before 1so;
despite anything which America ca
say or do.

TO TAKE THE ISLANDS.


The Japan Herald, an influential
newspaper in Toxic, said on July Is:
The ominous calm which is now
prevailing regarding the Hawaiian
question is not difficult to interpret,
and any one who runs may read, not
withstanding the secrecy which at
tends the preparations of the japanese
Government for descent upon the
Hawaiian islands.
This is their aim unless their claims
are fully met, and promises of future
good behavior are made regarding the
landing of Japanese emigrants to the
Sandwich islands, we shall soon hear
that the flag of Japan has replaced
that of the present shaky Republic.
That the japanese Government have
just claim against the Hawaiian Re-
public is beyond question. That the
Japanese will press that claim there
is not a doubt. Who will take sides
with Hawaii? America? What will
ton now of the Sandwich islands is
about $4,000, say. Eighteen thousand
of them are men, and those men are
practically soldiers who have been
through their conscript term in the
army.
To send over two or three large
4 ~
ammunition, field guns, ETC., is the
easiest thing possible.
The Government troops at Honolulu
and Hilo amount to few hundred
hired loafers mostly-they count fol
nothing better.
! The japanese are perfectly aware
that America is only strong at home
and weakest on the Pacific Coast.
With Japan's large fleet of merchant
ships as transports, its large Goa
/ fields to draw it's coal supplies from
backed up by its warships which are
now in excellent repair and soon tt
be augmented by it's new formidable
battleships Fuji Kan and Yashiln;
Kan, and it's strong feet of torpedo
boats. America could not land
single man in the Hawaiian islands
They would meet the fate of the Chi
nese on board the Kowshing in tn,
late war. There are only two harbor
in the Sandwich islands worthy of th
name-Honolulu and Hilo. These apC
any of the other possible landing
places would be seized upon by th
Japanese before America could thinl
of moving, by the troops which woul'
be drawn from those who are ther
now as emigrants.

Mr.. E r Chapman, the rich broker.
who was sentenced to thirty days in
Jail for contempt in refusing to reply
to questions prepoundt d by the Un-
tied States Senate wrote the following
TO the Washington Post:
Editor Post:
Permit me through you to call the
attention of the good people of Wash
ington to the fact that they have in
their midst man deserving of a mon
ument in one of your public squares
L refer to a plain, unaffected and
practically unknown colOred man who
for seventeen years has without fee or
reward conducted the principal rslig-
ious services at the Jail every Sunday
morning has devoted such time as could
be spared to religious work ameng his
people confined therein. and has spent
days and nights eff Jrding spiritual
comfort and consolation to such of his
race as have been condemned to
death.
To see this simple follower of the
Lamb in his unaffected way, pointing
out to the mass of black humanity as
stmbIed at his services, the way of the
cross is an inspiration. Through his
efforts thousands have no doubt been
taught the way of salvation, and are
to-day leading better lives. In this
mans presence / take of my hat.
l sought an introduction to him and
found him a man of the most mod est
and retiring disposition, claiming no
credit for his efforts, apparently salts
fed to be the humble instrument of
the Master in the work of salvation of
his fellow-man.
On inquiry l found he is what is
called local preacher, not being reg
ularly installed over a church organi-
zation. and is obliged to support him
self. For several years ne was en-
ployed as a Iaborer at $40 per month
in the Bureau of Engraving and Print
| ing, but was dismissed about a year
ago by secretary Carlisle with others,
without the recommend alton of the
chief of that Bureau, presumably to
make place for some one else.
The authorities should in my opin-
ion, employ This man at proper sala-
I ry as chaplain Of the Jail, so that he
could devote his whole time to this
service. If this cannot be done he
should at least be reinstated 10 the
position from which he was dismissed
through no fault of his, the duties OF
which position he is entirely compe-
tent and willing to perform. The pro.
priety of this would seem TO be self.
evident.

reason that some of the beneficiaries of

we remember that the Endowment is
run on the assessment plan. Some
members OF course which is quite nat
ural are continually becoming unSene-
