HAWAII OUR ALLY.
The Islands will Come In Handy as a
Base of Supplies.

Washington. May 1.-THE news pub
lished this morning that Hawaii would
not proclaim neutrality, but probably
enact an occupation bill, which, when
ratified by the senate, would enable
the United States to raise its flag over
the islands and use them as a base of
supplies and operation during the war,
was commented upon generally to-day
at the capitol. 1t was not considered
surprising.
Representative Hit, chairman of the
committee on foreign affairs. expressed
the prevailing opinion. This probable
action on the part of Hawaii" he said,
lis certainly in strict accordance with
what might be expected. Having IA
vored pending treaty for annexation,
having manifested d Willingness and
eagerness to become a part of the
United States. il would be entirely in
consistent for Hawaii now To declare
neutrality and manifest no preference
and show no favor between this gov
ernment and its enemy. Her refusal
to declare neutrality and her PROPOSE
tion to lend herself as base of sup
plies in our emergency, pending the
disposition of the propositions now be-
fore congress looking to annexation,
would be strong evidence of good faith
and would add much TO the influence
already at work to accomplish the an
nexati"-."
The senate committee on foreign re-
lations has never considered as a body
the bill which the Hawaiian govern
ment favors for the occupation of the
islands by the United States in case of
war, but some of the individual mem
bers of the committee knew that such
a measure was in contemplation by the
Hawaiian authorities. Senator Davis
and Senator Frye had such knowledge,
and both stated that the committee
have never taken the matter up. They,
however, approve the proceeding as in
dividual senator's, and express the
opinion that IL the Hawaiian legisla-
ture passed the bill IL would be well for
the United States to accept the tender
of the islands. The legislation pro-
posed would, they say. make Hawaii an
ally of ours, and they believe the CO.
operation Of the island government
likely to be of Importance to us. They
believe the measure under consideration
by the Hawaiians is a simple bill grant
ing authority to use the Hawaiian ter
ritory practically as they would the
territory of this country. Its acceptance
on our part would be equivalent to the
formation of an alliance, but doubt is
expressed among some senators as TO
whether the president would be dis
posed 10 enter upon IL in the absence of
formal action looking 20 the anneNa-
tion of Hawaii.
Senator Davis to-day expressed the
hope that the house would pass the
Hawaiian annexation resolution with
in the next week or two. and he said IL
IL should do so. he would ask the sem
ate to take it up and dispose of it be-
fore the final adjournment Of congress.

Pacific Rolling Mills Caunot Compete

San Francisco. May 1.-THE Bulletin
this afternoon says: The directors of the
Pacific Coast Rolling Mills in this city

wants to get all the freight traffic
possible in building this new line.
AS is already generally known,
this is the proposed line which is
being backed by Adolph Segal, the
Philadelphia millionaire. He is the
owner of the road from Morristown to
Corryton, and this is to be incorpo-
rated in the new road from Bristol to
knoxville. Mr.. Segal will receive the
hearty support, financially as well as
otherwise from the people Of upper
East Tennessee, regardless of the
route he adopts for his new road.
Both sections would unquestionably
be benefited by the road, and it is
probable that vigorous fight will be
made by the benefciaries of both
routes.
