read to the Senate. They were
attentively listened to. rI
In one part of the chamber
there was a group of Senators who
bitterly opposed the ratification
of the treaty. Among them were
Gray, Mills, Pasco, White, CAT.
ferry, Pettigrew and McEnery. As
soon as the reading of the docu-
ments was completed Senator
Davis, chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations, moved that
the message and the treaty be
made public.
d, Senator Gray objected to vote
on the motion and, under the
rules, a single objection carried
the motion over until tomorrow.
Senator Davis gave notice that
at the next executive session he
would renew the motion for pub
LEGATION, as all the essential facts
and almost a verbatim copy of
the treaty had been published in
the press of the country.
There was some discussion as
to when the treaty might be con-
sidered and Senator White asked
if it was the intention to press it
at this session, and upon the reply
being made that it was possible,
the California Senator said: 81
desire to announce that l am pre-
pared to stay here all summer to
prevent the ratification, which l
consider a very bad proposition"
"I'll join YOU" said Senator
Pettigrew of South Dakota.

PROTEST OF JAPAN.
she Fears the Loss of Her Privileges
in the Islands.

she Fears the Loss of Her Privileges
in the Islands.
Washington, June 16.-Before
the final signature of the treaty
to-day the Secretary Of State was
presented formal protest by the
Japanese Government through its
legation here. The protest is I'M
derstood to be based on appre-
hension that the special treaties
now existing between Japan and
Hawaii, under which the Jspa-
nese enjoy advantages, will be
affected ipjuriously by complete
annexation.
Minister Hoshi of Japan de.
olined to he seen to-day about the
protest. and Secretary Matsu re-
fused to discuss the matter in
any way, but it is learned that
the Japanese protest was made in
person to the State Department
by Minister Hoshi.
The news of the protest was
great surprise to the Hawaiian
Legation, and rs soon as intelli-
gence of it was obtained, Minister
Hatch started out to learn the
particulars. The esse ntial point
as TO the protest, it is said at the
Hawaiian Legation, is whether
the protest is against the nnnexa.
ton of Hawaii, or is simply
protest reserving to Japan all her
rights under the existing treaty
with Hawaii. 1t is believed to be
the latter.
The japanese treaty with Ha-
waii was made in 1871 and pro-
vides that natives or citizens Of
one country shall have the un-
Interrupted right to enter into, re-
side and trade in the other coun.
try, and shall also have the rights
and privileges enjoyed by the
people of any other country un-
der treaty stipulations with japan.
Japan under the treaty conse-
quently has a perfect right to
have her immigrants enter the
Hawaiian Islands. Under the in
ternational law the annexation OF
Hawaii to the United States
would abrogate this treaty. More
over, new treaty between the
United States and japan made
some time ago aud to become
effective in 1899 provides that the
United States may exc ude Jsps-
nese. If Hawaii is annexed the
effect would be to permit the
United States to exclude the Japa-
nese from Hawaii.
At the Japanese Legation the
document filed by the Japanese
Minister is not regarded as a pro
test against the Hawaiian treaty,
but is considered as a request for
official information. There ap-
pears, however, to be no doubt
that, as soon as Japar is notified
officially of the signing of the
convention, the Government of
the United States will be inform
ed that Japan expects and de-
mands their recognition of all the
rights and privileges which she
now enjoys under the existing
treaties with Hawaii.
While peaceful annexation of
the Hawaiian Islands would abro.
gate the existing treaties Of that
country with foreign powers, Japan
probably will contend that the
United States must assume and
respect Hawaii's obligations to
foreign powers.

TREE-PLANTING.

Saturday week will be "Tree-Planting
Day in Rockbridge county. On that day
the pupils in the public schools Of the
county will assemble at their respective
school-houses, and under the direction
Of their teachers, plant trees ito orna-
ment the grounds" Participation on
the part of the children in the planting
will not be compulsory, but 1t is expected
none the less that 1t will be very
general as the County School Board
have been doing everything in their
power to work up interest in the occa-
sion.
The movement is one TO be commended,
and it is to be hoped that the example
of the Rockbridge School Board will be
followed by the school boards Of other
counties. not only TO the end OF stimu-
lating interest in this matter among the
public school pupils throughout the State.
but TO the end as well, OF inducing a
general system OF tree-planting by our
farmers and others who own waste
lands. and forest areas that are being
denuded or have been denuded OF their
timber.
II IS well established that the denuda-
ton Of our forest lands Is largely the
cause OF the failure OF springs and wells
during long droughts. and Of the disas-
trous freshets in our streams during
and after long rainy seasons and heavy
SHOWS. The forest with its shade and
bed OF leaves holds the rain and the
snow until the water percolates slowly
into the subterranean reservoirs that sup
ply the springs and wells. In the absence
OF these, the rainfall and the water
from the rapidly melting snow find their
way more directly into the water courses,
and that. too, in volume that produces
sudden and destructive rise in the
streams. But aside from this there is

NAVIGATING LOGIC.

Recently, when wit was told that
the attractions of the Sandwich Islands
consisted of sugar plantations, a lot of
Americans and other foreigners, and
several volcanoes, with the natives
thrown In, he remarked that the fact
that the natives were thrown In" re-
moved one of his objections to annexa-
ton.
Whether this remark caused the de-
monstration, we know not, but in the
last few days certain earnest advocates
Of annexation have erupted in an effort
to prove that the Sandwich Islanders are
not half so bad as history has led us to
believe They tell us that the natives
did not eat Captain Cook. AS we un-
derstand the position of these annexa-
tionsts, they see no harm in the festive
Sandwich Islanders having killed the
valiant Captain. What sticks in the
craws Of the annexationists Is that the
natives should be charged with filling
their craws with the navigator's mortal
remains after having pounded his head
into jelly. The objection is not to the
Hawaiians' having dispatched Cook with
a club, but to. the historic claim that
they dispatched him as a meal. This
claim the Hawaii-philes are endeavoring
to show to be false, in order to demon
strate that the islanders would make
very desirable citizens OF this glorious
republic.
But these annexation zealots are
proving too much for their own cause.
1t is evident that they are not up-to-date
in the matter of investigation into and
study Of ethnography and 'ethnology.
II they were, they would doubtless be
willing to rest their case upon history
as 1t stands, and the pictures in the old
fashioned Biographies. An earnest
student OF the subject has lately shown
that the Anthropophagi are a much
maligned class. There was charity in
their appetite for their kind. Their dis
position of the departed by mastication
was not caused so much by a physical
| laundering a it was inspired by feeling
| of pity and tenderness. Their theory,
| this earnest student informs us, was
that it was much more humane to put
| a deceased fellow creature into warm
stomach than into the cold ground. II
| would, therefore seem that our annex
ationist friends, in trying to clear the
Hawaiian natives of the suspicion OF
having cannibalistic antecedents and In
stincts, are engaged in robbing them OF
one of their chief virtues and recommen-
/ dations as citizens.
