The Hawaiian Question.
The President's Message to the United States Senate advising the annexation of Hawaii describes the monarchy of the islands as effete, making the county a prey to design ing 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" United States, and he denies the latter had any hand in the overthrow of the Queen. A Resident would be appointed, with power of veto in matters affecting the foreign and commercial relations. They would continue to prevent the influx of Chinese into the country. The United States would take over the debt and pay the Queen 20,000 dollars and her niece 150,000 dollars. The sugar producers would not receive any bounty unless Congress passed a special measure authorising.
