the annexation of Hawaii having
made it practically certain that the
annexation treaty would fail to re-
ceive the necessary two-thirds If
pushed to Il vote in the Senate, the
machinery for securing annexation
by joint resolution has been put in
motion, and the House Committee
ON Foreign Relations, will this
week fayorably report the same,
and, if the opportunity occurs will
ut once push it through the House.
President Mckinley would bejusti-
fled in taking possession Of Hawaii
as a war measure, even if the pres
ent government OF Hawaii had not
rendered the islands to the L. S.,
and he may yet do SO, but he much
prefers that annexation should
come through Congressional action.
Some decidedly interesting in
formation is contained in advance
sheets of Consular Reports" issued
daily by the Bureau of Foreign
Commerce of the State Department.
For instance, that the island of
Luzon, on which the city of Manila,
the scene of Commodore, (since
promoted to be admiraD Dewey's
great naval victory, is larger than
the States of New York and Mass
achusetts; that the entire area of
the PHILIPPINE Islands, now under
Old Glory, is ten per cent. greater
than that of the New England
States, New York, New jersey,
Maryland, and Delaware combined.
Many persons who consider them
selves well informed on commercial
affairs have been greatly surprised
to learn that the [. S. has more
trade with the Philippine Islands
than all the rest of the world COM
bined has. What the L. S. will
do with these valuable islands is Il
question that is already being
much discussed in Washington.
This government will hold them
until the war is over, and then
decide what disposition shall be
made OF them. That is as far as
has been determined upon by the
President.
