SENATOR PETTIGREW MAKES AN ARGU-
MENT AGAINST ANNEXATION.

Washington. Feb. s.-Senator Pettigrew OF South
Dakota was the only speaker on the Hawaiian
annexation treaty In the executive session OF the
Senate to-day. He opposed tho treaty. resuming
his speech where ne had loft off n week ago. He

amounted to fully half a million acres. and said
that the land was very productive there was no
doubt tina. all the sugar necessary TO supply the
demands OF the United States could be produced
In Hawaii. He then undertook TO show that all
the sugar grown the islands must be produced
by Asiatic labor.
He held that fleet would be necessary for the
protection OF the islands and that II hostilities
should he begun with feet Mt Honolulu the coun-
try would be in awkward predica ment. III, on
the other hand. he argued the islands should be
in the possession OF a hostile Power. the United
States would be perfectly secure from an attack
from that source. Vessels would not be able to
cover the great distance between the two countries
forced draught because OF the incapacity TO
carry sufficient coal for that purpose. 1T Is as
absurd" he exclaimed. Ito talk OF defending San
Francisco from Hawaii as 1t is to talk Of defending
New-York from Ireland. for the distance Is about
