HAWAII TO BE OURS
Annexation at the Next Ses
sion of Congress.
THE PLANS HAVE BEEN MATURED
bhonlfl tUe Treaty Fall, Annexation will
Be Accomplished by Means of
Legislation.
New Yoke, Nov. 26. A Washington
special to the Herald says :
Hawaii will be annexed to the United
States daring the next- session of con
gress. This is one of the certainties of
the session. Senators and representa
tives, both advocates 'and opponents,
who have thus far arrived in Washing
ton, are practically unanimous on the
question. . " ,
President McKinley's message will
strongly urge upon the senators early
ratification of the - annexation treaty,
and it will be one of the first subjects
brought up in the executive session.
Senator Caffery of Louisiana, who will
oppose annexation in any form, said:
' "I am radically opposed to the annex
ation of any more territory to theUnited
States. I- think it is foreign- to the beet
policy we can pursue to extend the lim
its of our jurisdiction to other regions of
the earth far remote frou our national
boundaries. - : .
'The acquisition ot territory now in
cluded in the United States, excepting
Alaska, was the natural results of pow
erful impulse to extend' our dominion
from ocean to ocean between the Brit
ish possessions on the north and the Lat
in possessions to the south. Now ttat
this has long been accomplished and the
entire included region amalgamated,
with its population in luteiigent -sympathy
-with the constitution and the in
stitutions which exist under it, the poli
ey of territorial annexation should
rest. .
"I can see no reason nor advantage in
reaching out 2,000 miles into the Pacific
ocean to take - in a. little group ot alien
islands which are not geographically al
lied to this continent and the acquisition
of which cau do little for us beyond con
stituting an outlying naval station which
we are already able to establish there
without annexation.
"That their territorial extent is small
does not prevent the annexation from
constituting a dangerous precedent for
the addition of alien peoples.
"Cuba is bo mncb nearer to us than
Hawaii that she is almost a part of us
geographically, ; but her people are as
alien to us aa if they lived in the anti
podes. The annexation of Hawaii would
naturally serve as an argument for the
acquisition of that island also. - .The an
nexation of more ' of Spanish American
territory would then follow, all of which
, is foreign to our policy as I understand
it.
J. acknowledge the existence of a
powerful element in the senate in favor
of annexation of Hawaii, but can see no
reason in following its leadership."
Senator Cockerel of Missouri, , is also
opposed to the treaty, though he believes
Hawaii will be annexed by legislation
probably during the next session. He
eaid:
. . 1 doubt very mucn H tne necessary
two-thirds of the ' senators will be found

in favor of the ratification of the treaty
when the time comes to vote. . I expect,
rather, to see the Islands become a part
of the United States bv an act of con
gress in the eame manner in which we
acquired Texas.
An annexation treaty could .not be
passed at that time, but legislation to
annex the republic was easily passed.
The conditions seem to uie to be similar
in the case-of Hawaii. I do not know in
what political statue Hawaii may become
a part of the Union, but she would prob
ably not be endowed with statehood im
mediately. Provisional government of
some kind will ' more - than likely be es
tablished at first."
Senator Fairbanks of .Indiana eaid :
"The ratification of the treaty will be
accomplished during the coming session
without serious ppposltion. : The whole
subject is thoroughly - understood in all
its phases, has been thoroughly discussed
for years, and there is a practical una
nimity of feeling both here and in Ha
waii in favor of annexation. I antici
pate the speedy ratification of the
treaty."
Senator Burrows of Michigan ex
pressed a belief that the majority of the
senators are ready to ratify the treaty,
and that annexation will be an accom
plished fact in a short time.
