TREATY IS OPPOSED.
Pcftigrev of South Dakota Makes a
~ Strong Speech

Pcttigrev of South Dakota Makes u
Strong Speech.
Washington, Feb. 16-The senate de-
voted almost four hours in executive
session to the consideration of the
Hawaiian treaty. The principal speech
was made by Senator Pettigrew, this
being the third installment of his re-
marks upon the subject. He devoted
himself largely to the administration
of President Dole, showing how the
government of Queen Liliuokalani had
been overthrown and to presentation
of his views of this governments par
ticipatiOn in the revolution. He con-
tended that the downfall OF the queens
government was due to conspiracy
on the part of Minister Stevens, rep
resenting the United States, and few
citizens Of Honolulu, of whom Presi-
dent Dole was one, who were backed
by the marines from a United States
battle ship. He argued that at that
time there was no armed force on the
island opposed to the queens govern
ment except the United States marines,
"and," said the senator, "if the islands
were as rich as the dream of avarice
and their acquisition as desirable as
that of Louisiana, we could not take
title from a government set up there
by ourselves without submitting the
question of annexation to vote Of
the Hawaiian people. To do this,' he
continued with emphasis, '.would be
an international crime which would
place us on level with Great Britain
in her subsection of the weaker nations
of the earth, which would be an.
abandonment Of the position and pol
icy Of our government from it's earliests
history. A government" he said,
(which declares as does this govern
ment in it's constitution, that all gov:
eminent derives its just powers from
the consent Of the governed could not
afford to depose a friendly govern
ment, set up a usurping government in
it's place and then acquire title to the
country without first obtaining the
consent Of the people Of that country"
the passage Of the Mckinley tariff law
had been the direct cause Of the revo-
luton by which the queens govern
meEt had been overthroWn, the motive
being to secure the bounty. Of cents
per pound Oh domestic sugar which
that law provided. Mr.. Pettigrew dis
cussed briefly the character of the
present population of Hawaii.
At the close Of his three days speech
Senator Pettigrew was cordially con-
graduated by many Of the senators, in
Guiding some Of the opposition, upon
the thoroughness with with he had
gone into TIE subject and the ability
with whicE lie had presented the oD-
position to annexation.
Senator Proctor OF Vermont followed
with u brief speech in favor Of annex
alton. He devoted himself exclusive
ly to the military phase Of the Ques-
ton.
During the session Senator White Of
California attempted to ascertain from
Senator Davis, in charge Of the treaty,
whether there would be an early at
tempt to secure vote upon it. In re-
ply Senator Davis simply stated that
he could not at present say when the
debate would cease or when the senate
would be prepared to take a vote.
