HOBsON's
To be Immediately Made Lieutenant
Commander


Washington, June 20.-Lieutenant
Hobson, the hero OF the Nerimac. will
be transferred from the construction
corps TO the line OF the navy and rails
ed to the grade of lieutenant com
mander. probably this week. This &C
ton was definitely decided by the ad-
m~inistration today and legislation en-
towering this action will be pressed
in both houses. It had been proposed
TO wait Hobson's personal expression
as to his choice between the transfer
TO the line or promotion within the
corps where future advancement ia
limited.
The final decision today to give sub
%stantial recognition without further
delay, save for legislative authority
which is to be imediately granted, fol-
lowed the formal refusal OF exchange
by the Spanish government. The mat
ter was taken up by both the president
and Secretary Long AID II was an
nounced privately that the admins
tration is anxious for immediate legis-
lation TO permit the president to act.
and that promotion to the full extent
authorized would Immediately follow
This determination was reached az
ter a short informal consultation as
to the Spanish attitude on the ex-
change of prisoners and the likelihood
that there will be no early release of
the gallant lieutenant and his crew.

THE HAWAIIAN RESOLUTION
Taken up I'm the senate by Inanf-
NOUS Consent-The Opponents Avoid
Test Vote on Question Of Consider.
uOn-Conferenee Reports in b

SENATE.

Washington, June 20.-Discussion
by h senate OF the question OF the
Hawaiian annexation was begun today
in open session. At the very opening
OF the question the opponents Of an
nexation quite Unexpectedly scored a
point by preventing a yea and nay
vote on taking up the resolutions.
When Senator Davis, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, called
up the resolutions, the vice president,
as usual, announced that without OBJ
lection the resolutions would be IN
considered. No objection being enter
ed, he declared the resolutions to be
before the senate A minute or two
later Senator Frye, of Maine, demand
ed the a and nays upon the request
to take up the resolutions Senator
White, Of California, instantly made
the point of order that the yea and
nay vote could not be had on a dead
issue-that the resolutions were al
ready before the senate by unanimous
consent. OF course, the point was sus-
tanned.
The opponents of annexation were
decidedly pleased at preventing a
show Of strength, but at 4:30 o'clock
this afternoon, Senator White afforded
the friends of annexation the oppor-
tunity they had been waiting. He
moved to adjourn and, like a flash,
Senator Davis demanded the yeas and
lays. The which was a test OF
strength between the friends and the
opponents Of annexation, was decisive
"A to Is.
Having gained his point in develop
ing the numerical weakness of the OPP
position, Senator Davis readily agreed
to enter a motion for an executive
session.
The proceedings of the day indicate
clearly that there is to be no debate
upon the Hawaiian question in the or
binary acceptation Of that term. 1t Is
the purpose of the friends of anneXa
ton to consume no time in making
speeches. Believing that the senate
has already, in executive session
thoroughly discussed the question
they will permit opponents of the pro
ject to occupy all the time. This pial
of campaign is not satisfactory t
the latter and during the session of tn
day considerable bitterness was man
ifested at times.
The speakers today were Senate
Morrill,, the venerable senator from
Vermont and one of the republican op
ponents of annexation, and Senate
Bacon, democrat, of Georgia, Senate
Morrill, covered the general question
while Senator Bacon discussed tn
