OF ENTHUSIASM.

Foreign Parts
San Francisco, Oct. Ex-senator Nor
gan and mis- daughters and +. VI. Hatch,
the new minister from Hawaii. were
among the passengers who arrived
from Honolulu upon the steamer Bel
gle today.
Senator Morgan expressed himself as
well pleased with what he saw and the
manner in which he was entertained
while on the islands. He is more than
ever enthusiastic on the subject Of an
nexation and intimates that Hawaii
may become a part OF this country be-
fore the close OF the coming year. He
says:
Hawaii Is certainly going to be a
state. but whether it will be at the time
Of its annexation or later, remains TO
be seen. Should II be annexed as a ter
ritory, the Hawaiian commissioners will
surely recommend that the islands be
admitted to statehood and a special act
OF congress would undoubtedly follow.
81 have favored annexation from the
beginning, but I was surprised upon in
vestigating the latter TO find that the
arguments in favor of the movement
had been understated. In my opinion
Hawaii is absolutely indispensable to
the United States, and we must have
those islands. The only opposition
found was that OF a few OF Lliouksla-
mis- royalists, who have no weight over
there. and are for the most par royal
lists for revenue only"
Senator and the Misses Morgan will
leave here for their home at Selma, Ala,
in a few days.

Bearing on the recent immigration mud
die. 1t contained the points OF the dis
pute and draft of treaty srbitrating
the same. 1t is accepted as fact that
the Hawaiian government will not ac-
cept the points made by Japan or sign
the treaty. The Japanese press seems
to take the same view Of the case.
r. P. Schwerin, vice president and
manager OF the Pacific Mail company,
arrived here on the steamship City of
Picking last Saturday. The vessel re-
mained in port but eight hours. He
said that his visit to the islands at this
time was Of no special significance. He
said:
I'VE have been given to understand
that the island people are DESTROYS OF
having faster and finer steamer run
ming between here and San Francisco
than they have at present. We have
the matter under consideration, but the
future must decide for US. I can say
no more now"
In spite Of Mr.. Scherwin's guarded
statement, 1t is generally understood in
shipping circles that the Pacific Mail
company will put the China on the Hon
olulu route about the first Of the new
year.
