ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
The President Recites the situation
with Reference to the Islands.

Pending the consideration by the senate
of the treaty signed June 16, 1897, by the
plenipotentiaries of the United States and
of the republic of Hawaii, providing for the
annexation OF the islands, joint resolution
TO accomplish the same purpose by accept
ing the offered concession and incorporat
ing the ceded territory into the union was
adopted by the congress and approved
July T. 1858. 1 thereupon directed the
United States steamer Philadelphia to con-
vey Rear Admiral Miller to Honolulu, and
entrusted to his hands this important leg
isative act, to be delivered to the presi-

ter were authorized to make appropriate
arrangements for transferrine the sover-
eighty of the islands to the United States.
This was simply but impressively accom-
pished on the 18th Of August, last. by the
ton TO President Dole. who thereupon
yielded up TO the representative of the gov
ernment OF the United States the sover-
eighty and public property of the Hawaiian
Islands.
Pusuant to the terms of the Joint resolu-
ton and in exercise of the authority there
by conferred upon me, directed that the
civil, judicial and military powers there
tofore exercised by the officers of the gov
eminent OF the republic. of Hawaii should
continue TO be exercised by those officers
until congress shall provide government
for the Incorporated territory subject TO
my power to remove such officers and to fl
vacancies. The president. officers and
troops of the republic thereupon took the
oath OF allegiance 20 the United States,

municipal functions OF the annexed terri

The questions heretofore pending be-
tween Hawaii and japan, growing out OF
the alleged miStreatment OF japanese
treaty immigrants, were, am pleased To
say, adjusted before the act of transfer by
the payment of reasonable indemnity to

all foreign constls In the Hawaiian islands
should receive new exequateurs from this
government.
The attention of congress is called to the
fact that, our consular offices having cea sed
to exist In Hawaii and being about to cease
In other countries coming under the SOW

sions for the relief and transportation Of
destitute American seamen in these coun-

In consequence terminate. 1t Is proper,
therefore, that new legislation should be
enacted upon this subject in order to meet
that changed condition. .,. ....

CZAR.s PEACE PROPOSAL.

to Take Part In the Convention.
The proposal Of the car for general re-
duction OF the vast military establishments
that weigh so heavily upon many peoples
In time of peace, was communicated to this
government, with an earnest invitation to
be represented in the conference which 1t
Is contemplated to assemble with n view
to discussing the means of accomplishing
so desirable a result. His majesty was at
once informed of the cordial sympathy OF
this government with the principle In
volved in his exalted proposal, and of the
readiness of the United States to take part
In the conference. The active military
force of the United States as measured by
our population. territorial area. and tax

In time OF peace so conspicuousiy less than

Importance save as marking an suspicious

this view 1t behooves US as n nation to lend

general relation he Is directed to endeavor
to bring about solution OF the question
which has more or less acutely existed
since 1860 concerning the jurisdctional
rights of the United States In matters OF
criminal procedure and punishment under
article Nv OF the treaty of 1880. This latter
difficulty grows out OF q verbal difference,
claimed by Turkey to be essential, between
the original Turkish text and the pro-
mulgated translation. After more than
two years from the appointment OF a consul
OF this country to Erzeroum he has re-
ceived his exequateur.

source of much qualification to this gov
eminent to see the friendly resort of arbi-
tration applied to the settlement of this
controversy not alone because of the earn

result, but also because the two members

Burdens and Waste of War.
The experiences Of the last year bring
forcibly nome to us a sense of the burdens
and the waste of war. We desire In COM
mon with most civilized nations, TO reduce
to the lowest possible point the damage
sustained in time of war by peaceable
trade and commerce. 1t Is true we may suf-
fer In such cases less than other commu-
mites. but all nations are damaged more
or less by the state of uncasinesS and APP
prehcnsion into which an outbreak of hos
Titles throws the entire commercial world
Ii should be our object, therefore, to min
imize. as far as practicable this inev~
table loss and disturbance. This pur-
pose can probably be best accomplished
by an international agreement to regard
all private property at sea as exempt from
capture or destruction by the forces OF
belligerent powers. The United States
government has for many years advocated
this humane and benehcent principle, and
Is now In position to recommend 1t to other
powers without the imputation of selfish
motives Il therefore suggest for your con-
sideration that the executive be author
lied to correspond with the governments
of the principle maritime powers with
view of incorporating into the permanent
law Of civilized nations the principle of
the exemption of all private property at
sca, not contraband Of war, from capture
or destruction by belligerent powers.
