our lines now penetrate nearly

HAWAII IS COMING.

DwindlIng Away.
OUTLOOK FOR SUCCESS is VERY GOOD.


Chicago, Dec. ia special to the
Record from Washington says
There has been decided change in
the situation Of the Hawaiian treaty
within the last few days, and the mem
bers Of the committee on foreign rela-
tons are quite confident of its ratif-
cation.
Senator Hour says he is not opposed
to the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands as II territory. provided the
rights of natives are thoroughly pro-
teeted. He is. however, opposed to
Hawaii as n state, and will resist any
attempt to deprive the natives of a
fair share in the responsibilities and
the privileges of government. He says
that under no circumstances will he
antagonize the policy of the President,
and expects to have consultation
with him in Il few days to ascertain
his wishes concerning annexation and
other subjects. Nor does Mr. Hoar
think there IL any intention on the Re
publican side to interfere with the Re-
publican administration of affairs He
considers 1t the duty of every loyal Re
publican to stand with the administra-
ton.
been skeptic on the Hawaiian ques-
tion and was counted against ratifica-
ton, but like Mr.. Hoar he Is coming
around all right.
This leaves Mr.. Pettigrew as the on
ly Republican senator opposed to an
nexation.
Senators German. Morgan and Mon
ey have commenced active operations
on the Democratic side and are maxi
ing a thorough canvass in behalf of
ratification. The action of the Demo-
cratic members of the House in caucus
in leaving the Hawaiian question for
each man to vote according to his own
judgment. takes 1t out of the list of po-
litical issues and makes 1t easier for
Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. German to secure
votes.
Although the fate of the treaty has
seemed doubtful ever since the assem-
blage of Congress, the prospect is now
more hopeful than 1t ever has been.

JAPAN AND HAWAII.
The Former Wants the Same Privilege.
with Annexation as without.

San Francisco, Dec 16-The steam
ship Doric, which arrived from Japan
this morning. brought the following
interesting news bearing on the Japan
ese- Hawaiian controversy.
His chances of becoming minister
of state having disappeared with the
unsuccessful determination Of negotia-
lions for an alliance between the gov
eminent and the radicals. Mr.. Hoshi
left for his post at Washington by the
City of Picking.
1t is reported that ms the cabinet
found that the absolute protest
against Hawaiian annexation was of
no avail, 1t concluded that II would
be advisable to yield n point and while
not ohjecting to annexation itself, to
make an effort to insure the protection
OF Japanese interests For example, the
United States government win be
asked to guarantee that the anneXa-
tion OF Hawaii shall not Interfere with
the advance heretofore possessed by
Japan in the islands. This constitutes
the scope of Japan's policy even should
Congress approve OF annexation.
Instructions with reference to the
indemnity claimed by Japan from the
Hawaiian government were mailed to
Mr.. Shmamura by the City of Picking
on New. 20.
The Jill Shlmpo writes that the
Hawaiian government wishes to eN-
pedlte a settlement of its dispute with
Japan to avoid recourse TO third
power. She Is, however, apparently I'M
willing TO retract her former proposal
of arbitration, but should Japanese
government demand the rejection Of
arbitration, and the payment OF n
suitable indemnity. she will no doubt
be prepared to aeQuiesce.

REVISION OF THE CURRENCY.
secretary Gage Before the Committee To
day Makes IA Showing.

washington. Dec. 1G.-Secretary Gage
! appeared today before the committee
on banking and currency of the House
OF Representatives to present a bill en-
bodying his views for revision of the
currency, to explain and urge its pro-
visions, and to meet any objections
raised by the committee. The secretary
| was accompanied by Judge O'Conneli
soicitor of the treasury. Copies of the
secretary's bill were handed to mem
bers of the committee and were
scanned with great interest. After he
ing introduced to the various gentle
men of the committee Mr.. Gage be-
gan his statement, speaking in an
easy conversational manner, and fol-
lowing notes.
He said; "The object have in mind
in the series of provisions offered by
me are four in number:
First, to commit tn country thor
oughly to the gold standard; remove so
far as possible doubts and fears on
that point and thus strengthen the
credit of the United States both at
home and abroad.
Second, to strengthen the treasury
IN relation to Its demand liabilities in
which are included greenbacks, treas
ury notes, the incidental obligation to
maintain at parity, through inter-
changeability with gold, so far as may
be necessary, the present large volume
of silver certificates and silver dol
lars.
Third to do this in such a way as
not to contract the volume of circula-
ton in the hands of the people.
Fourth, to take an initial step to-
ward system of bank note issues
without the conditional deposit OF pub
lie bonds as security therefor.
IF we prosper as n people the
revenue Of the government ought to
be somewhat in advance OF its expen-
ditures and the public debt of the
United States gradually reduced and
finally extinguished. Looking at the
question widely, from my best point
of knowledge and experience, / feel
that If these could be secured, the con-
dition of the government in its rela-
ton to the currency would be much
safer and stronger than now, and that
through the operation of national bank
note currency the commercial and in
dustrial interests of the United States
would be greatly advantaged."
After this initial statement 1t was
deemed advisable TO read the secre-
tary's bill in detail and discuss its re-
lief by sections.
The currency bill framed by the
secretary OF the treasury was intro
duced in the House today by Chairman
Walker Of the banking and currency
committee Immediately after the open
ing. The bill as submitted is Identical
with the bill as submitted to the COM
mittee. save for few changes of no
special significance which would be
suggested by Mr.. Walker.
