TELLER URGES ANNEXATION.
He Favors Passage of Resolution
Instead of the Treaty.


Instead of the Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-Senator Teller
(Colo.) occupied the entire four hours
of the executive session in the senate in
discussing the Hawaiian annexation
treaty. During the course of his speech
Mr.. Teller took occasion to say that he
should have been glad to discuss the
treaty In open session, and to this re-
mark he added the opinion that the
time had almost come when the ques-
ton of apneXation should be debated
upon bill looking to legislation by
both houses of congress rather than
upon the basis of the treaty
While he thought there might be q
bare possibility of securing the go votes
necessary to ratify the treaty, he con-
coded that under the pre- sent circum-
stances this was exceedingly doubtful
and he thought the sooner this fact should
be recognized and a change of front
made the better it would be from all
points of view. There We're some in
terruptions at this point, and it was sug-
gested by some senators, after the close
of the executive session, that the COM
mittee ON foreign relations would con-
slider the advisabihty of making this
change of policy at its next meeting, to
be held on Wednesday of this week.
The statement was, however, made
by Senator Davis, chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, that there
had been no intention of attaching the
treaty to one Of the appropriation bills
as an amendment, as had been stated
was the case in some of the newspapers.
He made this 5 atemenJ in reply to a
quesnon put by senator White.
Senator Teller advocated the ratifica-
zion of the treaty, basing his reasons for
this position upon the grounds that the
annexation Of the islands was in the in
terest of odr commerce and in line with
our national policy for the past half
century
