Hawaii Annexation Question Likely Before Congress This Week
Washington reports the Hawaiian annexation treaty awaits formal signatures by Sherman and Hatch or Thurston as special commissioner. It is expected to go to the Senate this week, with debate tied to tariff concerns and possible rapid ratification if public sentiment supports annexation. The debt assumption for Hawaii is part of the House consideration, but Senate ratification would finalize annexation regardless of House action. The treaty omits provision for Queen Liliuokalani and Princess Kaiulani pensions, a notable departure from earlier terms. A separate note from Geneseo reports an indictment against attorney John N. Bates in a probate matter involving Mrs. Curtin’s estate.
