recognized the hawaii commissioners and inti mated to them that he favored annexa tion and in a few days probably this week he will send a message to con gress recommending the necessary leg islation with certain conditions to be detailed in his message while many congressmen believe that'*minister stevens acted entirely too hastily iu establishing a protecto rate without instructions the prepon derance of congressional opinion seems to be that outright annexation or pro gressive annexation that is a con tinuance of the protectorate for a given period to be followed by annexa tion is now necessary in order to ! maintain the national honor which is of course the first thought of every congressman however much they may differ as to methods one thou and eight hundred girls were graduated

depends much upon president elect cleveland if he in forms the leaders of his party that he intends calling an early extra session of congress this matter will probably be allowed to go over but such will hardly be the result of mere rumors of an extra session believed by many to have been started for no other pur pose than to influence voters on the silver question which was settled for the session last week if congress will not meet again before next de cember there is little doubt that president harrison's recommendation will be promptly acted upon one gentleman who is on terms of intima cy with mr cleveland told me that his impression was that mr cleveland would be pleased to see this hawaiian business hnally disposed of at this session as he expects to have enough domestic problems to fully occupy his time for some time after his inaugura tion there is good logic in this view of it too now that the report of both the senate and house committees which investigated the homestead strike and the employment of the pinkerton's men in labor troubles generally have been made the futility of expecting any pronounced congressional legislation on the subject is apparent the house committee's reports there are three of them contain no recommen dation of value and tbe report of the senate committee which reads like it might have been written by a school boy who had just received two lickings one from the teacher and the other from his father is no better it con sists of nine conclusions which the committee arrived at and these con clusions wabble between the two sides ofthe question finally winding up with the doubt whether congress has any right to legislate on the subject and pleading for arbitration it is a fact well known in washington if not at their homes that the average con o-iessman be he senator or represen tative while always ready to make a buncombe speech on the labor question is afraid to commit himself to decisive legislation on the subject the house has adopted amendments to the legislative and executive ap propriation bill providing for eight hours work a dav bv the clerks in the departments reducing their annual leave with pay from 30 to 15 days a year and prohibiting the do ug of any department on accouni of the death of an ex-official it is consider ed very doubtful whether any of these amendments except possibly the hist one will get through the senate tin same bill lias another amendment . i good one too abolishing congres sional funerals at public expense it is estimated that the proposed amendments to the pension laws now being diseased by the house wonld if they became laws save about 30 000,000 a year they provide lor transferring the pension office from the interior to the war department and placing it in charge of army officers also for suspending pensions paid to those having an annual income of 600 or more to widows who were not married within five years from the close of the war and except in ca*e of total disability to alien non-residents these amendments may possibly get through the house but there is no probability of their being adopted by the senate as at present constituted the mountain
