consider the Hawaiian annexation resolu-
ton. but finally deferred the vote until

request OF the minority. The committee
stands IL to II In favor Of annexation.
There was little done by the committee

of Lieut.. Gen. Schoield, U. S. A. retired,
and Admiral John G.. Walker, Z. s. N.
retired. both Of whom warmly advocated
annexation Ex-Minister Lor.n A. Thurs

Gen. Schofieid was asked as 10 the cost
of terrifying the islands. and said he be-
lieved $50. coo would be all that was neces-
sary for adequate Notifications.
Admiral Walker concurred in the views
expressed by Gen. Schofieid. He said that
the expedition now being organized by the
government to go to the Philippines would
have to stop at Honolulu, and it could not
stop there If Hawaii was neutral. and that
Hawaiian neutrality would ba extremely
Injurious to the United States.
Gen. Schofield said that if the expedition
of troops now being fitted UP for the occu-
patton OF the Philippines should have to
go straight through, without stopping ~
recoal at Honolulu, which Is about one
