IHEfMTBOFHAWilll e
Annexation Has Developed New Sup-
porters in the Senate
MANYMEMBERS ARE YET DOUBTFUL
Discussion Has Awakened Wide In-
terest in thcCountry
A MAJOKITY SEBM FAVORABLE
Nineteen Senator Are Undetermined
nnil with Them Rcntii the Out-
come When a Vote la Tnkeri
Washington January 17 Jos Oh In
Atlanta Constitution It Is Impossible to
say bow long tho seriate will rcqulro to
dispose of tilts Hawaiian tinucxntion ques-
tion To somo ot the members of tho sen-
ate It Is a new ono for while they
have of course studied It In a jctt
eral way they have not gbno Into the
history of tho relations between tho two
countries andfrankly slnto Uiat they have
not mado up their minds Somo of these
aro now put down In the columns of mow
opposed to annexation others aro counted
as far it because thc lr Inclination Is that
way whllo still others havo frankly de-
clared that they do not know bow thcy
will vote us tbey aro seekers for light
These doubters no matter in which class
they aro put by tho present counts aro
going to decide tho fato of Hawaii and
they do not know themselves how they are
going to vote
MAJORITY IS FAVORABLE
Of the two positive divisions those who
aro positively for annexation and those
who aro positively against It tho former
Is tho larger A majority of the senate is
certainly in favor of annexation While
the democrats bavo not made tho nucstion
a party one as it most certainly is not
tho republicans havo been Inclined to do
bo because cf tho strong position ot tho
administration It is now believed that
tivcry republican will vote for annexation
Most of tho silver republicans who are
allies of the democrats on Uic money ques-
tion aro In favor of ratifying tho treat
the oue exception being Senator Icttlarmv
who Is billed for a characteristic speech
against the proposition The populist mem-
bers aro divided somo strongly in ayor
and some strongly ugalnst ratification
Tho present counts show most of ihe
democrats against ratification thougil the
doubtful aro almost all democrats The
strong hand for annexation taken by Sen-
ator Morgan who has made the closest
study of the proposition ot any of the
democrats as a result of bis chuirman
bhip of the foicign relations committee
when tho democrats had control o the
scnato and the fact tliat Senator Gorman
and otter leaders favor the liropostrn
has caused a number ot tho younger ieiia
tons who have not themselves had
opportunity to glvelt closo suly to
hesitate before declaring against alimjfi
tion though that is their present Incita
tlon If the democratic senators were
called on to vote now a majority of them
would vote no As I have said how-
ever there aro a nTTmbor of them wha
feel that they want to hear both sides fully
prosented before malting up their minds
fully
AS IT LOOKS NOW
A twothirds vote Is necessary to ratifi-
cation The best poll obtainable at this
time shows tho following pronounced for
ratification
Aldrlch Allison Baker Burrows Can
non Carter Chandler Clark Cullom La
Deboe Blklns Fairbanks Faulkner
Foraker Pryc Onlllnger Gear Gorman
Hale Hanna Hausbrough Hawlcy Hoar
Jones of Nevada Kennedy Kyle Lodge

gan Morrill Murphy Nelson Penrose

ington Wetmore Wilson Wolcott 50

Arkansas Lindsay Mills Mitchell Pasco
1ettigrow Tillman Walthall White IB
Doubtful Spooner Vest Daniel Clay
Cattery McLaurin Money Gray Harris
Hcltfleld McEncry Mallory Martin
Roach Smith and Turplo 10
There may bo ono or two mistakes in
this list for there aro senators counted on
both sides Spooner of Wisconsin ha3
been counted against ratification und so
nave Hoar and Morrill but recent declara-
tions from these gentlemen warrant plac
ng the first two ns certain to vote for
ratification Tho best that can bo done
1th Spooner Is to put him In the doubt
ul column Of the others lu tho for rati

Approximately however the abovo Is
oirect Somo of Ihose In the doubtful col
nin will certainly vote against ratlflca
and some arp Jiut as certain to voto
i Its fiyor As It standR four or lit most
Bat votes only are necessary to ratlflca
on and with thouncertainty felt by so
1iy senators thcro would seem a mou
cellcnt rhanco to get at least that num
i and pcrhap more
ANNEXATION SENTIMENT HAS
GROWN
There Is no doubt Unit ho sentiment in
vor of Unnexntlpu Is stronger than it
several weeks ago For a time tho
of feeling seemed to tie against the
position This was largely < becauso somo

ln Then tho talk of Senator Reed who
neon unfavorable to annexation gave
opponents a good deal ot
encouratje
lut since then there has been a cbaugo
that chango la directly traceable to
lectnt eastward movement of tbe Eii

decided by the treatymaking power of tho
country certainly a good deal which does
not get at tho real root of tho controversy
Arguments based on tho duty of this
government toward ihe further clvillsattuii
of those Islands sound well and may fvt
fuvor with a tow sentimentalist but if
such a duty does exist it shquld not be ex-
ercised to the detriment of the lntore of
the people of the country ns it is now con-
stituted on the other hand the talk
against annexation because of the charac
ter or tho present population should rut
no figure In tho controversy for atinca
tlon would bring about a complcto change
In that respect within a few months or a
few years at most and It Is tho future
which must be considered
If there is good reason why there should
never bo a Stale created from theto Is
lands there ought to bo some way r pie
vide ngalnst such a contingency without
affecting the main question Why vould It
not be possible to amend the constitution
so ns to provide that no territory net a-
part of the mainland shall over become a
separate State To bo sure that would
apply to Cuba when wo get her aud some
of thoso who are mailing the point agjlust
Hawall would bo willing to see Cuba u
Stnto of this Union but If the acpimtlon
from tho mainland Is a reason asaiuat
statehood In tho ono case It should hold in
the other For myself I can see no gcod
reason why Hawaii should net bo a Stale
at somo time in tho tar futuro when it pos-
sesses tho requirements any more than
that Providence and Newport should eaih
be given a senator because they lumpen to
conipriso the State of Rhcdo Island or
that tho Pennsylvania railroad should own
and control two or three senators Serious-
ly if we can not rely on tho benogty of
States why not make tho new Territory
n part ot California or provide for a per-
manent Territorial government
THE MEAT IN THE COCOANUT
But all of these seem to mo side issues
There aro two tides to the question anil
when carried down to its last analysts the
rual argumouts for cud against aro abeut
tbesc
To hold her own as one ot the firstclass
nations of the world the United Stated
must push her commerce Into tho markets
ot tho world That is guod democratic doc-
trine as opposed to the republican Idea
Ihat wo can develop and grow by ersctinij
a Chinese wall around till country de-
pending upon our home market practical-
ly the only markets left open to uscer
tainly the most inviting field for pushing
our commerce Is thai to which tho Pa-
cific is tho great highway As long as sea
transportation Is by means of ships which
aro dependent upon coal for fuel Just so
long will Hawall remain the key to lha
Pacific You only have to glance at the
map to realize this Now is It more of
benefit to this country to hold that key
than a danger
It is argued that in time of war it would
bo dangerous 10 have to guard thoso is-
lands out in the Pacific that would ho
costly to fortify them and would require
a much greater navy to guard them and
the Pacific ccast than It would to guard
the coast alone that great increases to qur
navy would bo necessary as the result ot
their possession and that the farther we
otlck our toes Into tho Pacific tho more
liable are wo to have them trod opou
VB GET IT OR SOMEBODY ELSE DOES
As against this argument the friends ot
annexation contend that In times of peace
there can bo no question of the very great
value to the commerce of tho United Statc3
to hold this key to tho Pacific
Tho question which presents Itself Is not
a3 between odr having them or their re-
maining a republic friendly with ua as
now but it is whether wo will take them
or let them go to somo othor nation If
wo refuse the offer that Is mado up we will
say to tho Hawaiian government Wo do
not want sou go wherever else you
liliasc That would bo tho effect of uu
refusal For certainly none 6f those noiv
opposing annexation will contend that It
would be wise to refuse tp lake the coun-
try and yet gp ahead and contend for tho
doctrine which has governed our statu de-
partment for fifty yeamtbat this Is n
nart of ihe American syatcm and no other
nation has a light to c That wou d mean
that wo would be called upon to fight for
thoje Ulamls although we did not want
them ourselves and wpuhl not take them
when they offered to romo for the asking
There seems no question that In times ot
beu
our commerce would be greatly
How
the possession of Hawal
eiitcd by
backing tho rights o
would It be If in up
llcan senators were talking na If they r ljlltens to enter Into the commerce o

however to sco tho wisdom of his coiiten
tton It ships must rely on conl for their
fuel and tho Unlwd Stated ixmscoiOs the
only coaling station wlthiu iiguilUg dis-
tance ot our coast tho ships ot tho enemy
would havo exhausted themselves by the
time they reached Hawaii or so nearly go
as to render them practically powerless
for an attack upon the American tlcot sta-
tioned thcro or upon our fortifications
Juch Ices would their ships bo In shape
to attack tho California coast 2000 miles
away By the ttmo they fot that far such
fuel us they might have at Hawaii would
havo been exhausted
On thoother tide of tho picture accord-
ing to this presentation ot tho case tho
possession of tho Hawaiian Islands by nn
unfriendly power would he a constant men-
ace to American commerce In time ot
peace for vessels compelled to stop there
for coal might bo compelled to put up with
all kinds of hardships and lu tlmu ot war
our coast would bo at tho mercy of tho
enemy nblo to use tho Islands as a base ot
supplies
1 believe 1 have touched on the high-
points of the controversy now on In Wash-
ington Tho senate will take Up the con-
sideration of tho treaty tomorrow Thoro
has undoubtedly been a turn In tho tide
of popular feeling In favor of Hawaiian
annexation since tho Eropean nations
manifested their nhxlely to get eoutrol of

counts but have a large doubtful list to

MORGAN KAVOItS IT
Washington January IS Senator Mor-
gan prewntcd his views on tho subject of
tho annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to-
day in the executive sojslon of the sen-
ate When liu concluded a few inlnbtm
after 5 oclock ho had not then reached the
end Ho spoke for about three hours to-

sentation of the Importance of he lilnuds

ln support of his position that the lslumlM

States aud neoeesary for the protection of
our WeMrrn coast and of our gquoral com-
merce in case of war
Mr Morgan predicted that if tho United
States did not take advantagecf this tp
portuhlty to securo the Islands there
would bu war between this country and
some other power within ten weeks It
was not ho eald within tho bounda of pos
sibility in view of thu present Kuropcan

nounced their detcrmlnatlpn riot to mako

Senator 1cttigrew asked if the Hawaiian
government would voluntarily se K tho
protection of rome of tho powers and thus
fortBO tho great advantage theynot enjoy

tliient HiiKKeMtloni
To the Editor of The lost
Houston Texas January I I would
like to say sonietblns about planting trees
lu tho coast country
A tree should bo pUntcd leaning toward
the south one inch t the foot and fas-
tened to a stnut polo well driven into the
ground to prevent the strong south wind
having < innoh effect upon u
Trc i planted straight after growing up
have no appearance whatever They aro
blown by tho south wind toward tho north
and tho branches or lllubs mi the noutb
side are mostly dead or broken otr The
liuvta of a tree aro Its nourishment und
branches full of leaves are doing well
Hut tlio wind Utruwa them any way and
turns tho lower sido ot n leaf upward and
the miii and wind together Will anger them
till they Dually die
The cause of this Is that a treo planted
stiuight can not support ltrelf iigalnsi
tho strong south wind andjlB gradually
blown tcward the north by the force ut it
Tho treo becomes crooked and the vlnl
has tee much power mid bonds tho limbs
and branches upward Not tfo with a
tree wlileh can support tbrolf The brunch
eti hang down and liavcs iilso and no
matter how stiong the wind ilowa they
will havo tho ffltno shape nfterwanl

sliuds behind a house nr spmo kind of
hjgh shelter Its iip > earaiice Is quite dlf
ferr > nt from trees which sllliid In the open
It Is the wind and nothing else that does
it
In breaking the wind and to protect
shrubbery vt trees 1 think tho watur oil
bcnti would make a good wind breaker
ln planting them stay away about five
or fix fret from plantH or trees whleli aro
