Shall the Sugar Trust Hold Congress
by the Throat:

That alleged promise by Speaker Reed
that Hawaiian annexation should be con-
s.dered by the House as soon ds the Senate
had acted upon the war revenue bill is not,
it would appear, even as satisfactory it
seemed to some advocates of union when
it was given. Soon after its terms became
known The Star pointed out that it was
merely a disclosure of the Speakers plan
to kill annexation by delay. Last Thurs
day this paper demonstrated that the prof.
ect of waiting upon the Senate was part
and parcel of the conspiracy to bring about
final adjournment leaving Hawaii in the
air. Now comes word that it was not in
tended that the Speaker should give the
impre ssion that the House was to act as
soon as the Senate had voted on the emer-
gency tax bill. but that Hawaiian annexa-
ton should be put aside until after the war
revenue measure had become a law This
program. of course. involves many possi-
blllties for delay. 1t means that Hawaii IS
to wait upon the conference on the war
revenue BILL and that il is to be held back
until those days when. according to the
clear hope of the Speaker and the Sugar
Trust. the disposition to adjourn for the
session may be expected to overcome all
obstac'es and lead to a prompt dissolution
of Congress.
Haw allan annexation should be taken I'D
without the slightest reference to any other
measure Its Importance gives it the right
of way before everything else now pending
save. of course, the revenue bill. The threat
OF adjournment should not discourage the
friends OF annexation There is no more in
that threat than they themselves permit
II they are staunch and resolute they can
prevent adjournment until their purpose is
Iulhlled- With the President strongly SYM
pathetic and. indeed. anxious for action
the bOgie of adjournment need not frighten
them
Indeed, this very threat of adjournment
may lie used to the advantage of annexa-
uon If Its friends are steadfast. As the
summer days go by and the political rea-
sons for a dissolution of the session accu-
muiate the argument for action will grow
In force. The penalty of opposition will
rest heavier upon the shoulders of those
Few who may stand in the way of union.
The responsibility will surely become too
great for further endurance. All depends
upon the friends of annexation They have
the case in their own hands

Washington Dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
The indefinite declaration that the resolu-
non VIII probably be taken up this week is
not satisfactory to the majority of the re-
IubllcanS, who are anxious to vote for an
neXatlon. There is a good deal of indigna-
tlon belng expressed at the delay, and the
idea is gaining ground that the purDose Of
the anti-annexationists is to get the reve-
nue. bill out of the way, rush through the
remaining appropriation bills and force an
adjournment before a vote can be reached
on anneXa ton.
1t is the purpose of the friends of the
NeWiandS resolutions to frustrata that
scneme Representative Tawney rema rked
thls evening that if II became manifest that
there was a set purpose to delay the con-
siderat1on of the resolution a caucus would
DE- hcld and action taken which the leaders
of the House cannot afford to ignore
An1-annexatiOnists in the Senate like Pet
t1grew of South Dakota and White of Cali
iCrnla are asserting with great positiveness
that the resolution will not be taken I'D in
tLat BODY. They seem to be basing their
claim on an alleged agreement between
House and Senate leaders that if the rave
rue Dill Is disposed of speedily there will be
no effort to get action on the Hawaiian res
olution.
Senator Allison has stated to the Press
correspondent that there is no such agree
that the resolution will pass the House and
be taken up in the Senate He is not pre-
pared, however, to predict what will be-
come of it in the latter body. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts. Senator Elkins of
west Virginia, Senator Davis, chairman of
the foreign relations committee, and other
friends of annexation in the Senate have
declared that they will stay here all sum-
mer before they agree TO adjourn without
action on the annexation question

The Prisoners in Line of Fire.

1t is not pleasant now to entertain the
suspicion which has drifted this way frcm
Santiago that Admiral Cervera has spoiled
the record of his gallant act in his humane
treatment of Hobson and his men by order
ing them to be confired, while awaiting ex-
change, in Moro Castle at the entrance
of the harbor. Moro Castle is in the d.
rect line of fire from the sea. Indeed, II is
practically the first target. 1t constitutes
ore of the chief defenses of the city, and in
ordinary circumstances would be lirst %
faii IN bombardment. But with eight
American prisoners confined there it can
not IN reason be included among the OBJ
Jects OF attack in any general assault upon
the defenses. Orders have been given. it is
stated, to spare this point if the harbor
batteries should he shelled. This gives tho
Spaniards material advantage, enabling
them to maintain the fire on the ships frcm
this fortfication without running any risk
or Its demolition. 1t is to be hoped in view
or TINS fact that the preparations for ex-
changing the prisoners will proceed RAPIDLY.
ana meanwhile 1t is a cause for regret thai
the general admiration for Cervera :iwak-
ened by his courteous action should be
tempered by reflection upon what the Of
ncers OF the fleet now term "an act of thir-
teenth-csntury cruelty"

There is great gulf fixed between the

movement that We cannot resist without
destroying largely the vital forces that

difficulties, it is no greater than those in
herent leo years ago in the advance marked
out by Jefferson in the annexation of Louis
lana. Tne world has not stood still in any
pain since the annexation of Louisiana and
Texas; and there has been not one but
many mechanical revolutions. We have
created a system of transportation by rail

The National Expansion.


1t is useless to recount the reasons why
captured Spanish possessions cannot be
SOLD to other powers: it is obvious that
such territory can never be returned to
spain. America, then, must assume the
responsibilities of the situation in the di-
fection OF her paramount interests and un-
questionable rights, with due regard to
the demands of humanity and civilization
1t means a greater army, it imposes me-
cessity for naval primacy, and 1t requires
broader sweep OF International influence
as well as q new and vigorous statesman-
snip. What relief from internal dissensiOn
ard fll-conceived local passions this change
IN our national life may bring we can only
conjecture, but it will be great enough to
make the nation strong, self-reIiant and
masterful. The misty fables and traditions
of our national infancy can no longer ruIe
