the island on the subject Of annexation
He repeated his assertion th4t President
Cleveland was favorable to the aoQuini-
tion Of the islands and Expressed tho
opinion that 1t was his intention to have
restored Queen Liliuokalani and to have
negotiated with her treaty OF annexa-
tion. He elaborated his views on this
subject at considerable length, saying
that while he believed 1t was Mr.. Cieve-
lands Intention to annex the islands, he
naturally changed his Intention to do
this through the restoration of the
queen when she made known her blood
thirsty disposition towards those who
had dethroned her. He expressed the
opinion that Mr.. Cleveland would never
have taken such a positive positionas he
did take against the Dole government
and in opposition to annexation but for
the antagonistic and misleading report
of Commissioner Blount.
The senator was interrupted at this
point by two or three senators who were
opposed to the treaty who wanted to
know If it was not true that Cleveland
had withdrawn the treaty for annexa-
ton made by the Harrison administra-
tion. He admitted that this was the case,
saying that it was q matter of record,
but he still contended that under circum-
stances entirely to his liking Mr.. Cleve-
land would have supported annexation.
Morgan had been convinced from pri-
vate interviews with the ex-president
that he not only believed in the wisdom
of annexation of Hawaii, but that he
would also have recommended the an
nexation of Cuba under right conditions.
Morgan took up the criticism of the
government of Hawaii, defending it in
strong terms and eulogizing Mr.. Dole
as one of the most competent rulers of
the time. He reviewed Mr.. Dole's his
tory and said that that gentleman's rec
ord showed that he would be a creditable
head of any nation. He controverted
the idea that the present government
was, as had been charged, a missionary
government, claiming that 1t was in ev-
cry way staunch and enterprising and
abreast of the times He said that the
people naturally sought a closer alli-
ance with the United States because
they had always had the friendship and
support of the people of this country.
Speaking of the resources of the island,
Morgan said they were manifold and
that the time would come when they
would produce enough. coffee to supply
the demands of all the people of the
United States. while. he said, the sugar
production had already reached its lin
it. He estimated that there were at least
900 acres of land in the islands adapt
ed to the growth of coffee and said the
industry was rapidly developing.
He thought that at least $4,000 tons Of
coffee would be exported from the ISL
ands during the present year. He con-
cluded that the resources Of the country
were such as to insure very prosper
Gus future. and predicted that Honolulu
would some time in the not distant fu-
ture attain to great commercial import
ance, equal in all probability to that of
Hongkong or other cities Of equal mag
nitude.

SESSION NOTES
immigration Bill to Be Pushed-Com-
mittee Work


WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The Imni-
grafton bill which has just passed the
Senate will be pushed in the House with
view to securing early action. The
only question is as to whether the
measure will be urged as it passed the
Senate or will take the form of the Nc,
Call bill. The latter includes the edu-
cational test, both reading and writing.
while the Senate bill as 1t finally passed
that body, limited the test to reading
alone. Representative w. A. Stone, who
has taken an active part in immigration
matters, favors accepting the Senate
measure as it stands, in order to avoid
a protracted struggle. He accordingly
will move, when the bill comes from the
Senate, that it lie on the Speakers desk,
subject to be called up at any time when
the appropriation bills are out of the
way.
Chairman Danford of the House I'm
migration Committee favors this plan
IL the Committee on Rules will give as
surance of rule bringing the question
to vote. For the present there is no
purpose to merge the Corliss bird of
age"restriction, applying mainly to
the Canadian border, and any action on
this branch of the subject will be taken
independent of the present bill.
