During the session, Senator
White of California attempted to
ascertain from Senator Davis, 10
charge of the treaty, whether
there would be any early attempt
to secure vote upon it. The
California Senator stated his
opinion that there ought to be at
least three weeks notice of time
for vote for the arrangement of
pairs. He stated that he would
be compelled to be absent from
the Senate for the next three
weeks, and expressed a desire to
know something of the plans as to
bringing the discussion to an end.
In reply, Senator Davis simply
stated that he could not at present
say when the debate would cease,
or when the Senate would be pre-
pared to take vote.
Washington, Feb. 17.--Senator
Morrill, of Vermont occupied the
entire time of the executive ses-
sion Of the Senate today in a
speech opposing annexation of
Hawaii. The speech was intend
ed to show that the acquisition
of the Hawaiian Islands would be
against both good policy and the
traditions of this country. He
had always stood against the sc-
gu sition of distant lands, and
was still opposed to that policy as
one calculated to undermine the
integrity of the Republic.
Mr.. MoIrill said that, CONNER
cially, Hawaii has been vastly
exaggerated, and contended that
the annexation would result in
the inevitable destruction of the
beet sugar industry Of the United |
States because of the inability of |
labor to compete with |
the coolie labor employed on the
Hawaiian plantations.
From a military point of view
ne argued that the control OF Ha-
waii would be a source of weak.
ness rather than of strength, be-
cause a navy would be required
for its defense 10 time OF war, |
while in time of peace we should |
not need the islands on this ac-
count.
Senator Morrill, quoted with
especial emphasis a latter from
Daniel Webster, dated in 1S43,
the maintenance of the
Independence of the islands, ard
'losed with an appeal to the 'peo-
Die of the United States 70 con
inue this policy.

by the English government guarantee
ing a Canadian loan of s1s,0OO,0O0 on
the understanding that Canada aban-
doned all claims on account of the
Fenian raid.
In everv instance where an indem-
nifty has been exacted, save in the case
of the Turko- Russian war of 1877, a
portion of the vanquished powers ter
ritory has remained in military occu-
patton by the victor at the expense Of
the defeated nation until the money
has been paid.
No indemnity beyond the cession of
territory was exacted from Denmark
at the close of the war of 1864, and the
same thing may be said Of Austria at
the time of her defeat. by France and
Italy in 1859.
The Sultan was forced by the powers
to reduce his claims of s50,000,O00 upon
bankrupt Greece to $10,000,000 at the
close of the war last year. and there
is no doubt that some efforts will be
made, at any rate by the continental
governments of the Old World, to in
duce the United States to take into
consideration the apparently impover-
ished condition of spain when the mo-
ment comes for demanding an indem-
nifty of war. The American authorities,
however, will do well to bear in mind
that while the Spanish treasury itself
is to all intents and purposes insolv-
ent, the people at large are far from
poor. Indeed, those who know the
country best are aware that there is
almost as much boarded wealth at the
present moment in Spain as there was
at the close of the war of 1871 in
| France.

ture, but can likewise serve as some
sort of an indication as to the manner
in which these pecuniary damages
from the defeated powers are rated,
all the more as the exaction of war
indemnities may be regarded as a prac-
tice of relatively modern origin, the
victors in former times having con-
tented themselves with the surrender
Of territory on the part of the defeated
foe.
BlLLlON-DOLLAR INDEMNITY.
Perhaps the most onerous terms ev-
er imposed by a conqueror upon his
defeated foe were those to which Ger
many subjected France in 1871, at the
close of the historic conflict that cuI-
minated in the capitulation of Paris.
They consisted in the cession of the
major portion of Alsace and Lorraine
including the great fortresses of
Strassburg and Metz, and the payment
OF war indemnity amounting to the
colossal sum of $1,000, 100000. The en-
tire civilized world was startled by the
magnitude of this amount, and very
Widespread doubts We're EXPRESSED as
to whether poor Frapce, apparently
crushed beyond recovery, would ever
be able to pay it. But these appre-
tensions proved to be unfounded, and
the billion of dollars was paid with
such rapdity and with so little appar-
ent effort that Prince Bismarck and the
German authorities, past and present,
have never ceased 70 lament that they
did not stand out for double the sum.
This indemnity is worthy of special
notice. for the reason that it greatly
exceeded the actual expense to which
Germany was put by the war, and
vas, therefore, a punitive, or moral
ana intellectual damage" indemnity,
TO some extent, such as President
Kruger demanded from England for
The Jameson raid. In the war of 1870
IL the time was twenty-eght weeks
f!om the entrance of the German
troops into French territory to the
surrender of BelfOrt. The German
troops engaged may be taken for prac-
teal purposes as an even 1000, ,0OO the

From the Globe Democrat.
Hidden away in the most secret re-
cesses of that ominous- looking build
ing at Berlin which is known as the
headquarters OF the staff department
of the German army there are elab-
crate reports drawn up, concerning not
only the military and naval resources
of each one of the civilized countries
of the world. but likewise on the sub
ject of their financial resources, with a
special view to the rating of the
amount of the indemnity which they
should be called upon to pay in the
event of an unsuccessful war on their
part with Germany. The United States,
Great Britain, Russia and Spain all
are carefully discussed with regard to
this matter, and not only are the rea-
sens set forth at length, but even the
financial capabilities of each important
city and town are set down to serve
as guide in the case of war requisi-
tions being made upon them by a vic
torious German commander.
1t would be of great advantage were
the United States authorities accorded
a glimpse of one of these reports.

amount of indemnity in money and in
