Resuming. Mr.. Bacon addressed him
self to the legal and constitutional ques-

the Joint resolution now before the
Senate was a direct blow at preroga-

err method OF annexing foreign territory,
was by means of treaty. lie urged the
Importance OF maintaining the constltu-
tional method In so important an under
taking. In this connection ne deprecated
the suggestion that the President could
seize the Hawaiian Islands without the
concurrence of the Senate.
The President would have no more right
10 have seize Hawaii than he would
to have seie Jamaica. Still such seizure
would be as legal as would annexation

AN IRREGULAR PROCEEDING.
Mr.. Bacon contended that a statute OF
one country could not be made obligatory
mon another country; hence the hece7-
Nty of a treaty In annexation proce'
tugs was 20 make treaty by statute
