The Crisis in Hawaii.
PE£ PRESS ASSOCIATION. Washington, February 17. The President's message to the | Senate advising the annexation of Hawaii describes the monarchy of the islands as eftete, and making the country a prey to designing persons. It would be undesirable, if not impossible, to restore it, and it is essential that no other power shall annex the islands, as such an event .would be inconsistent with the safety of the United States and the peace of the world. The President points out that there has been no protest against annexation by'the States, and denies that the latter had any hand in the over* throw of the Queen. A President would be appointed with the power of veto in matters affecting foreign and commercial relations. They would continue to prevent the influx of Chinese into iiie country; the United States would take' over the debt and pay the Queen 200,000 dollars and her niece 150,000 dollars. The sugar products would not receive a bounty unless Congress passed a special measure authorising it. (Receivsd February 18, 11.40 a.m.) Conflicting statements are published as to the Senate's probable action regarding the Hawaiian treaty.
