The Argonaut 5 Opinion.

The San Francisco Argonaut says:
with the war upon us, we do not see
why the opponents Of annexation
should continue their useless opposi-
ton. The Argonaut was conscientious
ly and constitutionally opposed to an
nexation, but since we have entered
on war of conquest, 1t is folly to op'
pose the annexation of Hawaii. We
believe now in taking 1t forcibly, II
need be, and we hope President Nc
Kinley will do so If the Senate proves
obstinate. We are about to occupy thu
Philippines. Hawaii is indispensable
as station on the way there. Fol
intelligent American citizens to oppose
Hawaiian annexation when We are
seizing the Philippines, would indeed
be straining at a gnat and swallow
ing camel"

CABLE SURE NOW.
Contract With Scrymeser
Company Signed.
Cabinet Acts Under Present Law
New Bill Not Finally Disposed
Of Yet-The Terms.

The one thing that this country has
been working for during the past five
years as the national need next to a
treaty of annexation with the Y. s.,
cable, Is more than likely to be pro-
vided and that before 1899 is very old.
This, Of course, is the cable. 1t now
seems assured. The line will be from
San Diego, Cal, to Honolulu and on to
Japan. The franchise to Japan is ex-
elusive. Limitations placed on con-
struction are as to dates and route.
On Saturday evening the Cabinet, or
Executive Council OF the Republic of
Hawaii closed a cable contract with the
well known Scrymser Company, a con-
cern known to be responsible and ready
to proceed at once with work. Gen.
A. S. Hartwell acted pc attorney and
representative for the Cable Company.
The actual work Of placing the line
Is to begin within six months from the
date of signing the contract. This is
with the understanding that objection
by the SECRETARY Of State for the Unit
ed States shall vitiate all agreements.
The contract was entered into by the
Cabinet under the provisions of the
"Old Cable Act" passed by the last
Legislature. II had general provisions
giving authority to the Executive
Council.
The cable act passed by the Legis-
lature at the session now drawing to
n close is in the hands Of the Presi-
dent, but has not yet been either sign
ed for approval or vetoed. 1t was sent
to the President several days ago.

mittee on Rules of the Senate as to
what disposition shall be made Of mat
ters now pending in Conference Com
mittees as under the Joint Rules of the

Then the discussion arose as to the
exact status of the bill. The Attorney.
General spoke on the subject. Reps
IIOebenstein and Robertson compared
notes on the records OF the House and
their Interpretation of the action taken
by the House. The Speaker ruled that
under Joint Rule S the report and the
whole discussion was out of order or
the seven days limit.
Quick action was taken on a bill
brought in by the Attorney-General
In the title of the published act passed
at the present session regulating the
appointment of n temporary Circuit
Judge, typographical error was dis
covered in the engrossed copy. The
Attorney General held that the act
might be declared unconstitutiona
and the new bill was brought in max
ing the necessary correction. Under
suspension of the rules the bill passed
first reading, was sent to Committed
and reported on and then passed Sec
ond and third reading.
