The San Francisco call., 1898-01-21

avenue in honor of Dole's coming, and in every way is the visit to be made imposing and impressive. All of this is for effect on the doubtful members of the Senate. They are to be shown that Dole is as big a man as McKin- ley, and they are expected to forget their objections in the general rejoicing and demonstrations of brotherly love. If this should have the desired effect, vote may be pressed while things are hot. If not, President Dole will stay and will make it convenient to explain to as many of the d0ubters as he can see how badly this country needs those islands. Of course, it is not meant to lnsinuate that the President of the Ha- waiian republic comes here for the pur- pose of lobbying with the Senate. Some people here are strongly inclined to think that is the case, but such sugges- tons are unkind. Mir. Dole is coming on purely philanthropic mission.
 To-day Senator Bacon introduced an amendment to Senator Morgans an- nexation bill, which has caused much discussion. As The Call has shown, the senior Senator from Georgia is one of the most active opponents of anneXa- tion in the Senate. In the executive consideration of the measure he has taken strong stand against the treaty and has laid stress upon the necessity or getting at the real sentiment of the Hawaiian people. He has submitted an amendment to the treaty very much in the same language as is embodied in the bill amending the Morgan bill, which he introduced to-day
 The sentiment against the treaty seems to be growing. For time inn mediately after Congress met, and while there was much talk of parti- tion of China among the European na- tions. there was an apparent increase of talk favorable to the treaty, but all the recent developments have been on the old line. Hawaii is not as strong now as it was then. The chances for annexation seem to grow less as the volved are discussed. Senator Carter gave utterance to a statement during open debate in the Senate which is widely commented upon tonight. He was pleading for the early passage of his bill providing for taking the next census. The opposition urged that the sAAAAC OA btlC OCDdlc TUT Illc DtAl leil days would probably be taken up with the consideration of the Hawaiian treaty, and Senator Carter retorted. warmly:
 T do not know what the views of the Committee on Foreign Relations may be concerning the time at which a final vote may be taken on that inn portant measure, but it is not reason able to suppose that the vote will be taken before the first of February. It may be the first of June before that vote is taken.''
 Senator Morgan concluded his four days speech to the Senate to-day on the Hawaiian treaty. He spoke for al most four hours. and when he finished there were not more than half a dozen Senators present. He discussed, among other questions, the character of the present Government of Hawaii. He contended that the disposition of the whites was to treat the natives liber- ally and said in reply to a question from Senator Hoar that there was one native in President Dole's Cabinet and five natives in the Senate, while a ma jority of the members of the House were natives. The Senator read lib- erally from public documents on Ha- waii, including history of the various constitutions of the islands. There was call for a quorum during the day, but the Senator demonstrated, saying he preferred a small audience to the interruption caused by the call.
 Senator Teller took the floor and will speak when the treaty is next taken up.
 The Senate will next consider the nomination of Attorney General Me Kenna to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
