THE HAWAIIAN TREATY.
a Problem Worthy Of the Most
Serious Consideration.
Do We Want the Islands or Not
Provisions of the Treaty-Hab-
its and Customs of
the Natives.
Especial Correspondence

One of the first subjects 10 be dis
posed of by the United States senate
1uring the present session of congress
is the Hawaiian annexation treaty.
The administration party is confident
that it will be passed without much de-
lay as, during the last session of the
senate. it was reported favorably and
placed on the calendar with practically
the unanimous Endorsement of the
foreign affairs committee. The Ha-
waiian senate has already voted on the
treaty-the vote being almost unit in
favor of immediate annexation, con-
sequently favorable action by the
American senate would make the is
lands part of our territory without fur
ther negotiation. The Covernu4nt OF

great sugar interests nave worked up a
powerful sentiment against annexation,
which is to be represented by Senator
White, of California, on the floor of the
senate. The senator has recently con-
tributed an article to a prominent
magazine in which he explains why, in
his opinion, annexation should be de-
feated. He argues that the worthless
ness of the islands as q point of naval
defense is clearly established by the
eagerness of President Dole and his ad-
visers to place them under the perma-
nent protection of the United States.
In case of war with any foreign nation
they would require protection from our
navy instead of giving any to it. Every
ship stationed there would be at the ex-
pense of the fleet required for the pro-
lection of our Pacific coast. The islands,
in the senator's opinion, are non-sup-
porting in a naval and military sense.
They do not even produce coal for the
use of the ships coaling there. The
idea that the interests of American
citizens are involved is scorned by the
cile the claims of certain Americans in
Hawaii that they are American and
Hawaiian citizens at the same time.
"If the United States" he argues, "has
the right to recognize a revolt by first
assisting the revolutionists and finally
taking and seizing territory, it is not
easy to discover any rational ground

incidentally. he reasons, the main
tenance os the Monroe doctrine will be
rendered impracticable.
For the argument that we should an
mex Hawaii because its natives are
incapable of self-government Senator
White has utter contempt. He is anx

about to discuss is not an intricate doc

japan will probably attempt to oppose
ratification of the treaty, but its pro
test will confine itself to words. That
there is any real danger of war with
the progressive little Asiatic empire
over the Kanaka group is fear that has
never found iodgment anywhere except
in the brains of few sensa ational news
paper correspondents. Whatever the
action of the senate may be, it will not
plunge US into a conflict with any ma
ton, although diplomatic protests may
be lodged in case we should absorb the
little island nation. But diplomatic
protests" have of late years accumu-
lated so rapidly in the archives of the
state department that few more will
not whiten the hairs of the file clerk
who disposes of them for the benefit
of coming generations.
The most effective opposition to the
ratification of the treaty does not come
from abroad. but from our own Pacific
coast and from Louisiana. where the
