Washington, June 4.-President Nc
Kinley discussed the question of Ha-
waiian annexation with several repre-
sentatives who were in conference with
him Friday. He told them it was of the
utmost Importance that the two houses
of congress take prompt action upon
the resolution. He indicated that he
had received assurances of majority
in the senate who will vote for anneNa-
ton, and is therefore confident that it
will become a law. 1t seems to be gen.
orally understood that the resolution
will be brought up in the house prompt
ly next week. One proposition is to
call it up next Tuesday on the call OF
committees. A bill considered in this
way is subject to all parliamentary mo,
tions. This plan has been presented to
Chairman HIT, of the foreign affairs
committee. Members of that commit
tee are of the opinion that the resolu
ton may be gotten through in two OF
three DAVIS
