The New York Times is wise
when it advises Hon. Warner Miller
not to mix up the honest Nicara-
guam Canal scheme with the dis
honest Hawaiian steal. 1t says:
Better not yoke up the Nicaragua
Canal project with the miserable
Hawaiian job. The canal is a noble
undertaking, designed and destined
to confer immense benefits on the
commerce of the world, especially
upon the commerce Of this country.
The Hawaiian annexation scheme is
an unsavory intrigue for personal
gain that has already led us into the
perpetration of an international
crime and will sooner or later cover
with a black cloud of scandal all
who are engaged in it.
The promoters OF the canal enter
prise will make a mistake il they
allow it to become associated in the
public mind with the disreputable
designs of the Hawaiian gang. The
Hawaiian treaty has never got be.
yond the stage of negotiation by
| the Executive. 1t is in the hands OF
the Senate. Ratification may never
come. The disgust Of the American
people at the plot to take colony
oil lepers into their household will
make itself felt in the Senate Cham.
Der. The treaty may be sent the
way to dusty death, and any scheme
found conserving with it would be
likely to share its fate,
Elk Senator Miller seems to be
aware OF the impolicy of a Hawaii r
partnership for the canal, He mere
ly alludes to its relation to the de
Tense OF Hawaii, but talks at length
OF its commercial aspects, and most
hopefully OF the new commission o.

clded today to call the caucus together
tomorrow at 10 o'clock Tnsrc are va
rious articles on which II has been found
desirable to have the party in the senate
agreed in its axsaniblcd capacity. and
the calling OF the caucus was precipIta-
ted by the fact thar tine sugar schedule
had oeen practically reached in its or
der and it became necessary to decide
what position the party shonti take upon
this question.
There has been a very pronounced op-
position among many reprblfesn senators
to the schedule as prepared by the sem
ate committee on finance come Of them
going so far as to declare hey would
not vote for II unless altered. Some Of
these senators declare they will not
obey even the behest ot the caucus. in
case it declares for the finance commit
tees schedule. The finance committee
admits this state OF affairs, and also
admits that a change will be made which
will make the schedule acceptable to the
entire party in the senate. There ara
various suggestions as to what change
will be made, bu: the matter IS as yet
in such chaotic shape as to render If
impossible for even tbe republican lead
ers to state what may be lone.
There are various questions which viii

These include the tea duty, the agitation

The indications now are very strong
that beer and tea Will both go out of

by the committee unless .hey are found
TO be absolutely necessary for revenue.
1t is also quite certliu ;hat there viii
be an increase in the wooden duty. The
supporters of the hide duty and of the

dence that these will remain untouched.
