C., May L—The question of precedence, which threatened to disturb the amity of nations because Whila Spain fs Spending Milllons (*0me foreign Embassadors were bent upon Vice-President, has It is practically certain now | that the honors of this bloodless strife rest with the Vice-President, but the vic- tory has been achieved through no action of nisown. Itis asserted that the Vice- President has manifested no personal in- terest in the matter, the chief factor in the settlement being the President him- self, who, it is said, has gone so far as to give assurance that when the proper time comes he will hold that, for the purpose of precedence and etiquette, the offices of President and Vice-President cannot be separated because of tueir interdependent constitutional relation and because the Vice-President is heir to tne Presidency. Those with the President during the Grant exercises in New York noticed the genuine solicitude he displayed in his de- sire to see that next to himself the place hon'd iall to Hobart. During he place of T President, o not rode along the line of march with the President, but satdirectiy on the President’s left all through the exercises, hile the Embassadors were disposed in ot the ex: v relation more conspicuous the President insisted that the Vice-Pres- ident should sit immediately at his side in the place of honor during luneheon.

To make th HAWAILAN A Now Conceded That It Is Favored by the Administration. D. C., May 1L.—When Harold M. Sewall was nominated for Min- ister to Hawaii it was stated in THE CALL'S dispatches that it wasan indication that the administration was in favor of the an- nexation of the islands. This prediction is now conceded to have been «orrect. Minister Sewall had a long talk with the | President a week ago, and will depart for his post of duty with full instructions as to his procedure. Meanwhile tbe propo- sition to repeal the Hawailan reciprocity treaty is one of the absorbing topics of in- terest. Senator Frye, in an interview, said to- night: “Ten days ago I should have re- plied that there was very great danger of the abrogation of the treaty. 1say now that [ don’t think its abrogation is possi- ble.” But others who are equally conversant with the situation disagree with the Maine | Senator. It is a close question at all events, and there is no doubt but that a | determined fight will be made for the treaty’s repeal. Pacific Coart Pensions. WASHINGTON, D.
