HAWAII/

Tbe for Trent for Annexation floady Presentation to Congress.

He has been in communication with the senate committee on foreign relations ever since the annexation question came up and ha knows exactly how every member of that committee stands. The only chance of delay is in' the house, where a struggle may occur over making the appropriations necessary to carry out the treaty.

There were two ways of proceeding in the case of annexation, one by complete legislation by congress and the other by treaty. The first method would have been long and wearisome. In the present condition of legislation in the house a bill to annex Hawaii would die with the session. So the president and the state department, decided to pursue the policy followed in 1807, when Alaska was acquired, and proceed by treaty. That purchase was made by a treaty ratified in May, and then the house was called upon to pay the bill to appropriate §750,000 to do this. It finally passed the treasury legislation, and that is all it had to do in acquiring Alaska. It will be so with Hawaii. liy the terms of the treaty Hawaii comes in as a territory. The present provisional government is continued, however, until the treaty is ratified by it and until congress can pass legislation for a territorial government.

It is also provided that pensions shall be paid to the ex-queen and to the Princess lvaiulani. It is probable, however, that there will be considerable discussion in the senate as to the amount of these' pensions, although it is thought that they will ultimately be fixed at SS5,000 each annually.

The president and Secretary of State Koster feel satisfied that the pensions aiul other appropriations will in no way jeopardize the fulfillment of the treaty. The Hawaiian commissioners have arranged to leave for home as soon as the senate confirms the treaty. They desire to take the docnm 'n! back with them, as their return will be the signal for great rejoicing throughout Hawaii.

TALKS FOR THE TORIES.

Halfour At tuck* Hume Hule—Gladstone'* Bill 'ritlcli*el In the lluusn of Commons by tlio Connorvntlvo I.eatlor.

LONDON, Feb. I".—lu the house of commons Tuesday evening 1U. Hon. A. J. Balfour, the conservative leader, delivered an address in reply to tho speech of Mr. Gladstone introducing the new home-rule bill. Mr. lialfour said that no bill was needed, either good or bad. The prime minister had arrived at the conclusion that it is deemed necessary to shake the founda lions of the ancient constitution of the country, not because coercion is in active operatic?! in Ireland, but because we have'on the statute book a permanent act for coercion which may or may not be required.

Mr. Unlfour next proceeded to criticise the plan of cheating three constituencies of different forms in Ireland, sending members to the Irish assembly, to tho imperial parliament and to the Irish second chamber. The adoption of such a scheme would, he declared, plunge affairs into a hopeless entanglement.

As to the exercise of a veto power by the imperial parliament, Mr. lialfour held that such a provision would lead to a legislative deadlock in either the English or the Irish parliament. It had been said from the Irish benches that there would be imperial supremacy on the understanding that an honorable bargain was entered into between the imperial government and an Irish parliament. Such a supremacy would never be exercised. Speaking for those honorable members who agreed with him in political matters, Mr. Balfour declared no such bargain was possible or would bo given. He continued: "When the Irish members usk lor colonial legtoltitore, tliay aslt for whut Is absolutely 1mpo.slblc. If not already impo.ssiblo by tlio constitution, mich a logislaturo is rendered tinpossible by the vory bill ousslng.*'

Anxiety Kelt. ToPF.iiA. Kan., Feb. lb.—'War is on in real earnest between the two houses of the legislature and blows have been exchanged. There are now open threats by the populists of senatorial hostilities, and at any moment there may be. something more than the talk which has been so long indulged in.

An attempt by deputy serjeant-at-arms of the republican house to arrest lien C. Rich, clerk of the populist house, on orders from the republicans, caused a conflict Tuesday, during which two vcpublicans we re knocked down and several men on botli sides were badly bruised by blows of fists. The encounter occurred in the very center of the city and caused the greatest cxeiteineut. What will be the outcome of the trouble no one attempts to foretell,{ but it is generally agrecif that" to-day will witness the most exciting scenes known in Kunsas in years.

The conflict ended in favor of the populists, who rescued Rich and took him to the governor's office, from where, a few minutes later, he was triumphantly escorted into the hall of the house of representatives, his wife holding one arm and Representative Wordsworth the other. His appearance in tho hall was greeted witii cheers and clapping of hands.

The situation here is serious in the extreme. There is likely to be a conflict which may cud in riot and blood shed. Republicans are determined to arrest Rich, and the populists say they will never submit to it. Both speakers have sworn in a hundred extra sergeants-at-arms and all are armed It in firmly believed that tile populists will bar the doors of representative hull against the republicans this morning and the re publicans say that if they do they will batter down the doors. Speaker Douglas, of tho republican house, said that the end of this revolutionary business must come and that the majesty of the law should be upheld, no matter at what cost Gov,

LEwelling is advising the populists to resist by force all attempts at arrest. The populists take the stand that the republican house lias no legal standing and that it is no more than a mob when it attempts the arrest of the clerk of what they claim to be the legal house.
