At two o'clock Uiia morning, whon shown Jie illnitalcliea from Washington, conrftl Ing the iv'tlon of the Senate In regard to Hie Hawaiian treaty, Mr. Craig, president of the Chamber of Commerce of fiun Francisco, said to an Astorlatt re IKirter thit Cullfcrnla and San Francisco's business men hod been grossly mlsrep sentio.1 by Senators White und l'erklna. "All of the associated business enter prises of California want to see annex ation. Our Hawaiian trade luut developed Into something phenomenal by means of the reciprocity treaty. The foreign com merce of tho Islands amounts to J.uui.Om per annum, with a imputation of Uo,ie xiK uvenigtng iht capita. This will Ik- bettor understood by noting that tho foreign commerce of the I'nlted Slates Is only tX per capita. Of the ISi) per capita of Hawaii Jl:.i of It Is with the I'nlti'd StatiMi. Comimre this with our trade with Ctuuula, of Jso,iX0,Ou) icr an num, or JIG H-r head with her 5,ni'.U of rKHiple; or , our trade with Mexico, amounting to lod.imti.OiiO per annum, or only 13 ht head with her IiI.khi.cmi of peo ple. Surely the Hawaiian group cannot be aiiy longer left out of the American system wtH-n the resull of twenty years reciprocal U-ade hua proluced so signal u devcloxmoiit by the enterprise of a hand ful of our countrymen."'

This afternoon the Alton nnd Northwestern railroads an nounced that they would side In with the Union Faclllc. These lines have not with drawn from the Western Passenger Asso ciation, but their action amounts to the same thing. A meeting of the executive oMlcers will be held tomorrow and an attempt will le made to patch up a peace, but If It Is not successful it Is dltlleult to see how a war In pnssenscr rates, covering all the territory between Chicago and Ogdcn, can be avoided. nilADHlKY GO ICS TO JAIL. lie Still Persists In Spitting In the Street Cars.

OI'WISITION FROM CALIFORNIA I acssior wuue joios tailor .litis sua t ft Other Democrat it Protest imj Aijiintt Aaoeiaiion. Washington. June K -The treaty for the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands reoj-hed the senate chamber at 5 o'clock today. The senate went Into executive Hsnlon and an soon as the doors wen. closed the message of I'renldi-nt McKln ley BX'cornpanylng the treaty and the treaty Itnelf were read lo the strait.:. They were attentively listened to. In one part of the chamber there was a group of senators who bitterly oppose the ratification of the treaty . Among them weteGniy, Mills. Pasco, White, Caf- fery, I'etllgrew and McEnery. As soon us the reading of ihe documents was completed. Senator Davis, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, moved that the message and the treaty be made public. Senator Gray objected to a vote on the motion, and under the rules a nlnitle objection carried the motion over until tomorrow. Senator Davis gave no tice that at the ntxt executive session he would press the motion for publication, as all essential facts and almost all ver batim copy of the treaty had been pjb llshii In the press -of the country. There was some discussion as to when the treaty might lie considered, and Sen ator White asked If It was the Intention to push it at this session, and upon the reply being made that it was possible, the California nn.itor said: "I desire to an nounce that 1 am irepureO to stay here all summer to prevent the ratification, w hich I consider a Very bud proposition. ' "I'll Join you," said Pettlgrew. The mensage ef the president was not a very long document. It dealt with his torical facts concerning the Island and showed that the United States and Hawaii grow more closely bound to each other. This was not really annexation, he said, but a continuation of existing relations, with closer bonds between a people close ly related by blood and kindred tics. Since said the president, the pre dominance of the United States has been known. The sending of the first envoy there brought the Islands In closer rela tions with the United States, and their relations grew more firm by succeeding events. At the time the tripartite agreement was made for the government of Samoa, he mild. Great Britain nnd Germany wanted to Include Hawaii In the group over which a protectorate was established, but the suggestion was re jected by the I'nlted Suites, because this government held that there already er Islcd relations between Hawaii and the I'nlted States which placed the Islands under the seclnl care of this country, and this government could not allow any other country to Interfere In the nff.!ri" of Hawaii. The annexation of the Island, said the president, ami making them part of the I'nlti'd States, was In accordance with the established policy of this country. The treaty proved to be a simple docu ment of six articles, based In Its essen tial details upon the treaty negotiated by John W". Foster during the adminis tration of President Harrison. The Isl ands are coded practically without con ditions, leaving the United States to pur sue Its own course with reference to their management The. treaty provides for the cesak.rt of all rights of sovereignty by Hawaii to the I'nlted States. Tho Islands are, for the present, to constitute a territory of the United States, their local laws remaining In force until new ones are enacted. A local legislature Is provided for, but the veto power Is vested entirely In the presi dent of the United States. A commission of five persons, consisting of three Amer icans and two Hawalians, is to be pro vided for the purpose of formulating a mode of government for tho Islands. The treaties of the United States with other countries nre substituted for the treaties of Hawaii with the same countries con trolling the International relations of the Islands. The further Immigration of Chi nese laborers to the Islands Is prohibited, and laws restricting Chinese Immigration to the I'nlted States are made to apply to the prevention of Chinese removing from Hawaii to this country. This country asrees to assume the debt of the island republic to the extent of iJ.H'O.tK". JAPAN'S POSITION. Washington, June 16. At the Japanese legation the document (lied by the Ja panese mlr.lster yesterday Is not regarded as a protest against the Hawalan treaty, hut Is considered as a request for olfl clal Information. There upjiears, howeve, to be no doubt that as soon as Japan Is notllle.1 olllolally ot the signing of tho convention, that the government of the United tSate will le informed thnt Japan expects and demands a recognition of all rlshts and privileges which she now enjoys under the existing treaties with Hawaii. While the peaceful annexation of the Hawaiian Islands would abrogate the ex isting treaties of that country with tor- e:gn powers. Japan probably will contend that the United States must assume und respect Hawaii's obligations to foreign powers. It Is also the Japanese conten tion that under the r.ew treaty to go Into effect In IV special legislation ean 1 enacted to exclude their citizens, us han been done to the Chinese under the Clil HMie exclusion at.
