sition was regarded as chimerical and the
SINCERITY OF the proposer was questioned.
Not Unexpected by Some
One curious phase of the comment in the
English and German press was an intima.
ton that the proposal was not unexpected
by the court circles of those countries. AMI
the assertion was made that Emperor Will
ham would have made the proposal him
self on his trip to the Holy Land if the
czar had not foreStaled him.
In France the cZar'S note fell with most
stunning effect as there it was apparent no
previous intimation of its deliverance had
been received even in governmental cir
cles. Public men and the newspapers were
Stow in passing opinion on the proposal.
The public mind Immediately turned TO
Alsace-Lorraine, and by some the proposal
was denounced as a scheme on the part of
Russia and Germany to forever settle that
question: so sensitive to the French heart.
by International Endorsement of the present
status.
In Italy, Spain and Austria the proposal
was regarded either with Indifference or
cynicism. With few exceptions public men
posed to question both the practicability
and the sincerity of the proposal.
In the United States, then in negotiation
with Spain to end the war existing with
that country, the cars note was treated
with most respectful consideration. Its
sincerity was accepted without question
and its wise and humane purpose COM
mended.
Several governments so far cOnformed to
the wishes of~the cZar as to appoint COM
missfoners to the proposed conference,
whose definite time of meeting has not yet
been decided upon, but several sugges tions
have been made for the meeting TO take
place in the coming spring

ANNEXATION or HAWAII.

On July the Senate Of the United States
by vote of Il to p passed what is termed
the NewIands resolution for the annexation
luton had been passed by the House on
June 10 by a vote of 200 to 81. Thus ended
controversy as to a@question of national
policy which had been going On with more
or less interruption since the administration
of President Harrison. 1t marked the be-
ginning of what has become termed the
policy of expansion of the United States.
The resolution, by virtue of which the
islands become part of the United States,
provides for the cession by the Hawaiian
republic of all rights of sovereignty over
the Islands and their Independence and the
cession and transfer TO the United States of
all public property, and assures the Ha-
waiian public debt to an amount not ex-
ceedinS Sf,OoO,UJu. 1t prohibits further i'm
migration of Chinese and provides for the
appointment of five commissioners, two of
whom at least shall be residents of Hawaii
to recommend necessary legislation.
1t provides that Special laws shall be en-
acted by Congress for the management and
disposition of public lands and all revenues
arising from sale of such land to be applied
to the use of the Hawaiian government for
educational and other public purposes. 1t
provides that Hawaiian treaties with other
countries must Immediately cease and be
replaced by those between the United
states and such countries. The municipal
legislation not contrary TO the Constitution
OF the United States was to remain in
force until otherwise determined.
Until legislation was enacted extending
the custom laws of the United States the
customs relations then existing on the is
land VIII remain unchanged

ACTION BY CONGRESS-

While the situation in Cuba and prepara-
tions for the war with Spain occupied a
great deal of the attention of Congress dur
legislation of a general character
The most important was the enactment
relating to Hawaii, and resulting in the an
neXation of that republic to the United
States. When it was found impracticable
to ratify the treaty with Hawaii for the
cession Of that country, owing to the fact
that Il two-thirds vote was required in the
Senate for ratification. it was determined to
accomplish the purpose by a resolution of
annexation. To pass this only majority
was required, and it was easily obtained. A
commission was sent to Hawaii TO study
conditions and recommend legiSlat ton to
Congress for the government of the new
territory. The commission has reported
ana committees OF Congress are at work on
plan of territorial government for Ha-
wall, which is now possessed by the United
States.
with Spain included authority for the issue
of S2ob,0O0,G00 worth of bonds and the en-
actment of a system of internal revenue
taxation, which is still in operation
Other legislation of Importance was the
enactment of a bankrupt law. which had
long been demanded. An act was passed
promoting the killing of fur seals in the
Nofth Iacific ocean. A commission was
authoflZed to consider problems relating To
labor and capital and is now sitting in
washington. W Important legislation relating
TO the organization of the army and navI,

THE CzAR's PEACE PROPOSAL.

On August "a Count Muravieff, the Rus
sian minister for foreign affairs, handed to
each of the diplomats at the court of Rus
sia Il note signed by the cZar, proposing an
International congress for the purpose of
bringing about a practical disarmament of
the armies and naves of the world. The
note after presenting the desirablity of
peace based upon International suffrance
and for humanitarian principles, says: The
danger which lies in-fthe continual massng
of war material is transforming the armed
! peace of our days into a crushing burden,
which the peoples have more and more difil-
Guilty in bearing" u
This monientous proposition fell on Eu-
rope like a thundeEbolt. Nothing like it
had ever before been, proposed by the ruler
of any great country. Coming from the
ruler of a country with the strongest army
in point of number in the world: with a
war chest which has been accommodating
gold until all its nefghbors had become
frightened at its wafiike proportions; COM
ing at time when the eyes Ct the world
were turned towardis the conflict between
Spain and the United States; al time when
all Europe was listening for shot, which
fired in some remote spot where rivals were
struggling for supremacy. would set half
the world to fighting the other half, 1t was
little wonder that this anti-ciinax in the
form of universal peace proposal fairly
stunned the rulers of the interested coun-
tries. Many questioned the czar's sincerity
III making tne pIoposat; some, mostly mill
tary men of high rank, doubted its prac-
ticability, but none questioned It's wisdom
or inherent humanity. The press of Eu-
rope commented at some length upon the
proposal In a general way the newspapers
of England favored the proposition and
urged the government to take the sczar at
his word and appoint commissioners to the
proposed International peace congress. The
London Times hailed the proposal with
something akin to delight and most of the
other London papers were equally we'll dis
posed toward it.
In Germany the tone of the press as well
as the reported comment of men in public
life was tinged with, eyniclsm. The propo-

THE EASTERN QUESTION AGAIN.

In the early part of the present year con-
siderable friction arose between England
on the one hand and Germany, Russia and
France on the other over the partition of
Chinese territory. During the latter part of
1897 Germany had occupied hiao-Chau har-
Dor and some adjacent territory This
called forth no protest from the other Eu-
ropean powers at the time, as il was noted
that China had granted Germany no trade
rights exclusive of other nations. A little
later the announcement from Pekin THAI a
russian fleet was to winter at Port Arthur
with China sanction, aroused the keenest
apprehension in British commercial and in
ternattonal relations. The suspicion was
expressed that Germany, Russia and
France mad entered into a combination
against England. This suspicion was
strengthened when it developed that Russia
and France We're endeavoring to prevent
emma acceptance of British loan of $50
ouo,oo0. 1t was next reported in London
that the French feet occupied the important
Island of Hai-Nan. But in the latter mari
of February England gained an advantage
IN the long competition for the Chinese
loan, which was made by German and Eng
llsh capitalists and guaranteed by the gov
ernments of England and Germany BY
means of this loan the ports recently ac-
qulred by Russia and by Germany as we'll

About the 1st of October the Dowager
Empress of China deposed the emperor and

the adoption of the European question.
