ONE sNAG REMOVED.
Japan VIII Not Oppose he Annexa-
ton of the Hawaiian tgtands.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.--Ja par, has been
removed as an element in TIE Qpnostion to
Tho contamination of the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands by the United States.
This result has been attained by the con-
clusion of an agreement between our gov
eminent and that of Japan, as represented
by Minister Toru Hoshi, which, by practi-
cally settling the status OF the Japanese in
Hawaii removes the only substantial diff
terence that has existed between the two
governments. The Japanese government
for its part, announced some time ago that
it no longer cared to interpose any objec-
ton to annexation of Hawaii based on prin-
ciple. Since that time the correspondence
between Minister Hoshi and the State De-
partment has been directed 10 a satisfactory
settlement of the status of the resident
Japanese in Hawaii and this last point
has now been adjusted. so far as the exec
utive branch of our government is capable
Of acting Independently, the agreement be-
ing reduced to the shape OF a written mem
orandum.
The exact basis oil this agreement has not
yet been made public. but the general scope
OF It is understood 10 be a recognition of the
rights of Janansse in Hawaii TO claim equal
rights with japanese in the United States
Japan proclaimed in 1895. This document.
which has not been generally taken into
account in considering means for adjusting
the questions that have arisen over the
status of japanese i'm Hawaii, goes into ef-
feet in July next year, and. among other
things, it confers on Japanese within the
territory of the United States all rights ac-
corded TO the citizens OF the most favored
nation, which. of course carries with it
rights of naturalization and the exercise OF
he rights Of franchise. Presenting that
annexation is effected. the japanese III Ha-
wall will, in 1899. have the same rights as
those in the present limits of the United
States. All that remains 10 be fixed is the
status Of the Japanese during the time that
must elapse between the ratification of the
annexation treaty and the beginning of the
operation of the Japanese treaty. inasmuch
as the pending lnrexation treaty provides
for the appointment of a commission to
visit the islands and prepare such legiSla-
ton as may be necessary TO consummate
the aDalgamation of the territories this
last question can easily be adjusted along
with vther details ID the bill to be reported
to Congress.
