the other, and each government willing
that the other should rob China and
despoii her of her territory so long as
what was wanted for themselves was
left untouched. This, he said, was to
be depiored but it was fact that
could not be ignored. This being the
situation in the Orient, the United
States ought, he continued, to take the
Hawaiian Islands in self-defense. En-
der the law of self-defense all ques-
tions of mere precedent and all ques-
tionS Of settled and defined law were
frequently set at naught. Even ques-
tionS of right or wrong were often eX-
tinguished in the higher law of self
preservation, but in this particular case
there was no question of right or wrong
that was being trampled upon. Ha-
waii lay there in the Pacific like a me-
teor, waiting at last to fall into the
body where it was destined to fall by
fate and destiny. 1t was destined from
the first to become part of our polit-
ical system.
Mr.. Davis, in concluding his argu-
ment, presented to the Senate a beau
tiful picture of the comings and goings
of peace and war for the last century,
and sought to impress upon the Senate
the lessons that history taught, and
apply them to the question under con-
sideration.
The only other speech of the day was
that of Mr.. Allen of Nebraska, in op-
position to the treaty Mr.. Allen found
various arguments to advance why the
islands should not be annexed. The
population was Objectionable and con-
tanned elements already excluded from
the United States If the islands were
admitted this population could not be.
assimilated. IL Hawaii was admitted
the Chinese and the coolie labor of Ha-
wall would be as free to come and go
as are the Chinese now here from one
State to another. Mr.. Allen also saw
the evil that would follow the ultimate
admission of the territory as a State
and the sending of two Senators to the
Senate The whole idea of annexation
was repugnant to the present scheme
of government, and Mr.. Allen found
nothing in il to commend itself.
'If we had it, ii would" he said,
have to be defended or be subject to
seizure by any power that saw fit to
take it. 1t was not necessary, as a
base of supply, for with coal no longer
a contraband of war, it amounted to
little as base for military supplies.
"To Great Britain it offers. perhaps, a
few inducements; none from mill
tary standpoint. That nation now had
Equimault with its great Notifications
and its capacious coaling station. If
the United States had the islands they
would have TO be defended either by
the enlargement of our feet or by for
tifications. neither of which justi-
fed solely on account of the islands"
Lastly, Mr.. Allen was unable to ap-
preciate the anxiety of the Admins
tration with respect to Hawaii, when IL
ignores the far more grave condition
of affairs in Cuba, where there is every
reason for the protecting arm of this
Government to be extended to pre-
vent the murder of innocent men and
children and to assist brave and patri-
otic men to achieve their freedom.

DEFICIENCY BILL Is PASSED

The urgency deficiency bill passed the

There was some debate over the
item appropriating $4,000 for freight on
bullion and coin between mints and
assay offices. The debate was conduct
ed by the Western members against
those from the East. The bone of con-
tention was that the West wanted
