Only small progress was made by the Senate with the Hawaiian annexation treaty yesterday. Several speeches were delivered, but in every instance the speaker announced that his remarks were merely preliminary to what they should say before the close of the debate. The executive session opened with Sen- ater White on the floor, but Senator Stew- art interrupted, and others cut the Cali- fornia senator out of the discussion. Those who spoke were Senators Stewart, Frye and Morgan. The Question of Sugar. Senator Stewart of Nevada supported the treaty and was the first senator to discuss the question of sugar in connection with the subject. He said all the sugar lands were now occupied and that little was left except lands available for the production of coffee. He asserted that the importa- tion of sugar to the United States from Ha- waii would not be increased to any per- ceptible extent, because the islands had reached their limit in the production of that article. For this reason the producers of beet sugar and of cane sugar need not be alarmed. Senator Stewart eulogized the natives as intelligent and docile. He said there were many of them in California and that they were well regarded there. Senator White interrupted to ask why, the Kanakas were so well thought of, Sher had not been consulted on the question of annexation. Mr. Stewart replied that throughout their history up to recent years they had been anxious to have their country become a part of the United States. Senator Frye for Annexation. Senator Frye spoke upen the commercial and military aspects which annexation presented in favor of the United States. He called attention to the fact that some senators complained because no one stayed in the chambe= and listened to the debate upon this important subject. He remarked that it was ro wonder that senators fled to the cloak rooms and committee rooms when long speeches were read which con- tained much dry detail and were not argu- ments upon the question before the Sen- ate. The senators should consult together and discuss the matter, debate and advise and then there would be a full Senate at all tmes, and the information sought weuld be brought out. Upon the merits of the case he considered Hawaii as nec sary to the commerce of the United States He devoted considerable time to a review of the importance of the control of the Nicaraguan canal, which could not be maintained unless Hawaii was ours. Sen- ator Frye thought this was an important epoch in our history, and if we did not annex the islands now we could not com- plain if they were annexed to nation or if any other nation s them. Senator Morgan Goes Into Detail. Senator Morgan of Alabama occupied the time of the Senate until it adjourned. The senator hi n by referring to a sugges- tion made by Senator Hoar, that the com- no uf mittee on foreign relations had mad report, and he, Mr. Hoar, was without ficient information concerning the subj of Hawaii and annexation. Senator Mor- gan then piled upon his desk numerous printed volumes, including reports before vericus congressional committe reports of the office of the Hawaiian govern- t and other documents relating to Ha- ator from Massachusetts,” sa‘d organ, “is welcome to these doc- » and if he will'give them the at- tention which he usually gives to public questions he will have all the information necessary on this subject.” 2ior Morgan then went into a detailed history of the Hawaiian Islands from the time of their discovery to the present believed it was the intention of Pres Cleveland to restore Queen Liliuokalani to her throne, and after that transaction to open negotiations for the annexation of the islands under her reign. Thi rtion brought Senator Chandler to his with the question as to what authority there w: Mr. Morgan rey special authority, bat that he was express- ing his opinion, and that such a course would have been in keeping with the logic of events. Senator White asked if this treat not a trade with provisional govern- to be done regarding Senator Mor- nswered that question in a previous portion of his re- marks, but he would review the subject for the benefit of the California se: In the early part of the present century, he id, Vancouver went to the islands, and on his third trip the then king of the is- lands, a nati id he wouid cede them to Great Britain and acknowledged the sov- ereignty of England. But Vancouver never returned. As to the oft repeated tion that the United Siates was trying to ab- sorb thi ands without the wish of the Kanakas, Senator Morgan said that for the last 100 years the government of the islands and the people of the islands were anxious to secure the sovereignty of a strong power and secure a local self-gov- ernment. Senator Morgan described ble length his visit to th: mer, and related his own p tions, and in repl why the Portugt turned his at_considera- and last sum~- onal observ m explain not vote. the Kanakas. y were a picturesque peo: ple who would be much better off under a government by the United States. He spoke of the ladies going barefooted along the streets in long, loose gowns, which we called “Mother Hubbards,” and the men with little clothing, but yet strong and manly looking fellows. Here Mr. Tillman broke in and asked: allowed to vote? “Let me answer the question,” said Sen- or Kyle of South Dakota, “How many of such people are allowed to vote In your state?” Mr. Tillman—‘“I've had that crammed down my throat until you make me puke.” Senator Mason, who was in the chair, brought the gavel down sharply and said: “Order, gentlemen, order. We can have no_ puking here. -Senators must preserve order or retire to cloak room.” Voting Privileges in Hawaii. Senator Morgan then resunied his speech and presented a certificate showing what the voting privilege was, and explained from documents which have been publish- ed as to who was allowed to vote and who were not, and why not. Senator White asked Mr. Morgan why the islands were not annexed in 1843, and how it was that the proposal for annexa- tion had to wait until the islands were in the possession of the land grabbers who were trying to further their personal for- tunes. Senator Morgan said that if attention had been given to his remarks on the sub- ject of annexation in 1843 senators would have understood what intervened. The history of that time was in the documen- tary evidence which had been printed and discussed often before. He believed that the islands should have been annexed at that time and believed that they should be annexed now and the reasons which ex- isted then for annexation had multiplied a hundred times since. What former author- ities had refused to do was no excuse why the United States should refuse now, as it was evident that annexation was best both for the people of the island and for this country. ef South Carolina ‘How many of them ———_-o->-____.
