 concluded his three days speech in op- position to the annexation of Hawaii in the executive session of the sen- ate today. At the beginning of toGay's speech he made some additional points against the availability Of Hawaii for defensive purposes, saying that ii is 500 miles from the outside islands of the group to the main islands. This fact, he said, demonstrated that nu merous points must be gu-Tded from hostile assault and that a powderful navy would be required to accomplish this, and that these immense eXpendi lures will be without benefit to our defense on the continent. He de- clares that if Hawaii would be ac- quired, it would be contended that our domains should be extended 10 ether islands, and we would finally embark upon the foreign acquisition business, involving an outlay of hundreds of millions of dollars.
 He then took up the question of labor, con- ending ths. the Chinese and Japanese are receiving $15 per month without board. He ridiculed the pretense that the AnglC-Saxon race could labor in the Hawaiian sugar fields and demanded to know why, if they could, there was no white labor on the islands now. He aead from a recent consular report to show thar the coffee business was at the best problematical, and that even in this work 1aboreTs only received $15 per month without board. He de- nounced the master and servant Iegu- lations now in force on the islands as a species of slavery; he said that coffee must be produced in competi- sion with the lowest grade of peon toilers and that the time would never come when a farmers hand on the coffee plantations would receive a white mans wages. He a'so assert ed that Japanese have the same ght to come into the United States en- joyed by other foreigners and white contract laborers of all kinds will be excluded unt there is no obstacle to the entry of the ordinary Japanese laborer, who complies with our general immigration laws, and he said tha, ii annexation were brought about. ori- enta1 labor would still dominate the situation in Hawaii.
 He denounced as absurd tha as sertion that trade would be diverted from the United States if annexation were defeated, and said that even with the present treaty out of the way the Hawaiians would do business witt us; that when the Mckinley b Il wa: in force they still traded with hi United States. He compared th' growing trade of Japan with that O Hawaii, showing that cotton, flou and the manufacturers Of iron ant steel were fast occupying the Japares market.
 This government, based upon tn will of the people could not, Senate Wh te said, afford to incorporate large number of persons, who woul be eligible to citizenship, against thei will. He read from Judge Cooley an
 
 views and declared again that tn entire power behind the throne wa the sugar combination of Hawai-, whose personal interest had, ha sait always been consulted, regardless c the effect upon the pubic. He crit icized the action of President Dole i coming to Washington at such tim and he asked what would hay been thought of the taste of the Prime of Wales had he come here at th time the treaty of arbitration wa under consideration for the purpOs of influencing OUT action He re viewed at length the general policit and theories of our government, an declared that the question was ab0V all politics and that k was ste which, if taken, could not add to or glory or incre ase our wealth.
