MORGAN ON HAWAII.
SECOND INsTALMENT OF THE ALA.
BAMA SENATOR'S VIEWS.
IMPORTANCE OF ANNEXATION.
'Tf We DO Not Acquire the Islands
There VIII lie War Between Us
Weeks.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. January 1s.-
the Senate during the entire time Of the
executive session to-day in the presenta-
tion Of his views on the subject Of the
annexation OF the Hawaiian Islands.
This was the second instalment of ..e
Senator's speech, and when he had con-
cluded, a few minutes after o'clock, he
had not reached the end. He spoke for
about three hours, to-day, and his speech
was a general presentation Of the impor-
tance Of the islands to the United States.
He dwelt especially upon the military inn
portance Of the islands. quoting General
Schofeld and Captain Mahan at length in
support of his position that the Islands
were natural outpost Of the United
lection of our western coast and of gene
raj commerce I'M case of war.
Mr.. Morgan predicted that If the United
States did not take advantage Of the pres
ent opportunity to acquire the Islands,
there would be war between this country
and some other Power within ten weeks.
1t was not, he said, within the bounds
Of possibility. in view Of the present
European competition for territory in
Asia. that the Hawaiian Islands should be
allowed to remain independent for any
length of time after the United States
should finally announce their determina-
ton not to make them part of Ameri-
can territory.
Does the Senator from Alabama mean
to say" interrupted Senator Petugrew
that the Hawaiian Government would
voluntarily seek the protection OF some
other Power and thus forego the great
advantage those islands now enjoy IN
their reciprocity arrangements with the
United States. which results in our re-
hitting to them annually not less than
5000 COOP
To this question Senator Morgan re-
piled that the reciprocity treaty had been
negotiated for the purpose of giving thls
country cheap sugar. He said that IL
had been of greater benefit TO the United
States than IL had been to Hawai-, be-
cause it had accomplished its purpose oil
making cheaper one OF our great com
modities. and one Of the necessities OF
every household.
1--WE want" he said, mot only the sugar
from Hawaii, but cheaper coffee as well
and that and many other necessities coulo
be grown on the islands"
The Senator displayed number o'
large maps to show that the islands were
i'm the very roadway Of commerce between
our western coast and the Orient, and
said that all ships, whether laden with
articles of commerce or munitions OF war
must nee. ssarily pass them in going to
and fro between this country and the
Asiatic coast. and thus. he said, the ma,
ton which controls Hawaii Will control
the commerce OF the East.
In closing, he said that failure te anenh
the islands meant inevitable bloodshed
and the responsibility for that bloodsheo
would rest upon the Senate of the Onited
states. for its failure to perform It's duty
at this critical hour in the history OF the
two countries.

THE NEW ENGLAND STRIKE.
Determination on Both Sides-Ffne
Question Mnde the Issue.

BOSTON, January 1S-Grim determlna-
ton on the part of both sides, coupled
with a well-defined issue between en-
ployer and employee. as well as .practi-
cally an absence Of any sign of demon
stration. were the features Of the second
day in the great strike In the cotton in
dustry. As yesterday, interest centered
almost entirely in the strike at New Bed
ford, where the disturbances of yesterday
led 20 the belief that a similar demon
stration might be attempted to-day No
thing of the kind occurred ard the
strikers strengthened their cause by
making the question of fines a definite is
sue with the mill-owners. IL is just
possible that an agreement on this ques-
ton may lead to some satisfactory end
ing of the whole matter in that city,
although at present such an outcome
seems far distant.
The matter of financial support for the
strikers was generally discussed, not only
in New Bedford. but i'm Bddeford, Saco.
and Lewiston, Me-. and while the union
strikers seem to have no anxiety regard
ing the next three months, the non-union
men who are out fear that they may not
receive sufficient support
In Fall River the superintendent Of tho
King Philip mill. where there is a strike,
went so far as agreeing to remedy union
grievances. but other than this there APP
pears TO have been no breach in the line
of the manufacturers during the day. The

England States are watching the contest

THE sTUBBs PENSION BILL.
The Committee Orders IA Substitute
Prepared.

Mr. Stubbss bill, providing that county
supervisors may levy a special tax OF not
exceeding 4 cents, to be used for the sup
port of the manned and disabled con-
federate soldiers, was considered yester-
day by the House Committee on Coun-
ties. Cities. and Towns, and after some
discussion a subcommittee was appointed
TO frame a substitute bill.
|. Captain Featherston and General George
J. Hundley appeared before the Dody IN
behalf OF the Confederate soldiers, ana
the suggestion was made TO provide a
connulsorv tax OF 4 cents to raise addi-
tional funds for the purpose, instead OF
leaving this matter with the various coun-
ties and cities. General Hundley tnougnt
that the funds should be distributed
through boards, and not given 10 the SOL
diers as aims
cantain Featherston was I'm favor OF
making this levy a State tax. Chairman
Diggs was also i'm favor OF this. He was
willing. he said. 10 vote for such mea-
sure. and. il necessary. go down with the
Confederate soldiers and never see the
hau of the House OF Delegates again
Mr.. Booker said that he for one was
willing TO vote for such measure.
Mr. A. F.. Withrow, Of Allegheny, Bath,
and Highland, said the allusion had been
made that the Republicans might here
after turn against the Democrats IL
taxation should be increased for such
reason. He represented perhaps more
Republicans i'm his three counties than
any other member on the floor OF the
House. but ne felt confident that not one
Of them would be opposed TO such an
increase OF the tax. ,,,
Colonel Thomas Courtney, Of King Will
liam moved that If it was the sense OF
the body that a special State tax DC
created. that subcommittee be ap-
poInted to draft such BILL This was
agreed to. -.
Mr.. Diggs explained that II cent IeVy
was set aside for the relief or the Iou-

State-General tax. 30 cents; school tax,
10 cents. For the county-General pur-
poses. 35 cents; roads. Is cents; county
