THE ANNEXATION TREAT TermsUnder Which the Unit States Accepts Hawaii. The President's Message Beco] meDding Its Ratification. The message of President Harrison, tra mlttinj to the United States Senate t treaty of annexation with Hawaii, is ji m?rfp nublic and is as follows; To the Senate: 1 transmit herewith, with a view to ratificatioc, a treaty of annexation cc eluded on the 14th day of February, IS between John W. Foster, Secretary State, who was duly empowered to act that behalf on the part of the United Stst and Lorrin A. Thurston, W. R. Castle, 1 C. Wilder, C. I* Carter and Joseph Mai den, the Commissioners on the part of t Government of the Hawaiian Islands. T provisional treaty, it will be observed, do not attempt to deal in detail with the qu tions that grow out of the annexation the Hawaiian Islands to the United State The Commissioners representing the H waiian Government have consented to lea to the f ature and to the just benevolent pt poses of the United States the adjustme of all such questions. I do not deem it necessary to discuss any length the conditions which have r suited in this decisive action. It has be the policy of the Administration not oo to respect but to encourage the continuatii of an independent Government in the H waiian Islands ao long as it atroraei smcai guarantees for the protection of life and pre rty and maintained a stability and strong that gave adequate security against t domination of any other power. The mor support of this Government has continual manifested itself in the moit friendly dipl ma tic relations and in many acts of courte to the Hawaiian rulers. The overthrow the monarchy was not in a way prompted by this Governmei but had its origin in what seems to ha been a reactionary and revolutionary pc ioy on the part of Queen Liliuokalani whii put in serious peril, not only the large ai preponderating interests of the Unit States in the islands, but all foreign inte ests; and, indeed, the decent administrate of civil affairs and the peace of the islanc It is quite evident that the monarchy hi become effete, and the Queen's Governme: so weak and inadequate as to be the prey < designing and unscrupulous persons. Tl restoration of Queen Liliuokalani to b throne is undesirable, if sot impossible ai unless actively supported by the Unit States, would be accompanied by serio disaster and the disorganization of ,'all bu ness interests. The influence and interest the United States in the islands must be i creased and not diminished. Only t* courses are now open?one the establisl ' ii - TT-n.J mailt of a protectorate 07 tne uai&eu aw?u and the other annexation full and complel I thick the latter course, which has be: adopted in the treaty, will be highly pr motive of the best interests of the Hawaiis people and is the only one that will a equately secure the interests of the Unit States. The interests are not wholly selfish. It essential that none of the other great powe shall secure these islands. Such a posse sion would not consist with our safety ai with the peace of the world. This view 1 the situation is so apparent and conclusb that no protest has been heard from at Government against proceedings looking' annexation. Every foreign represent* ti at Honolulu promptly acknowledged tl Provisional Government, and I thii there is a general concurrence in t opinion that the deposed Qoeen ougl not to be restored. Prompt action up: this treaty is very desirable. If meet the approval of the Senate peai and good order will be secured in tl * 1 ?

The correspondence whi< accompanies the treaty will put the Seaa in possession of all the facts known to t Executive. Benjamin Harrison. Executive Mansion, Washington, Febr arv 15, 1893. In'a letter to the President, laying t treaty before him. Secretary of State Fost recapitulates the history of reoent events i the islands leading up to the revolution; tl establishment of the Provisional Goven ment; the appearance of the Commissione in Washington; the negotiations that ha' taken place, resulting in the preparation the treaty, and the establishment of t protectorate by Minister Stevens. Secretary Foster confirms the Presidenl statement that the revolution was entire unexpected so far as this Government w, concerned. "At no time," he says, "had Mr. Stevei been instructed with regard to his course the event of a revolutionary uprising. Ti change was, in fact, abrupt and unlook) for by the United States Minister or tl Naval Commander." In regard to the protectorate^ Secretat Foster says in his letter: "An instructs has been sent to the Minister commendit his action, in so far as it lay within the pu ViSvv of standing instructions to the Legati< and to the naval commanders of the Unit 8tates in Hawaiian waters and tended co-operate with the administration Kn tha Pmvidiuitl RnnrninDnt h disavowing any steps in excess of such i structions whereby the authority and posv of the United Stares might appaar to ha been asserted to the impairment ot the i dependent sovereignty of the Hiwaiii Government by the assumption of a form protectorate." Secretary Foster says that the provlsio of the treaty reserve to Congress the dete mination of all questions affecting the for of Government of the annexed territor the citizenship and elective franchise of t] inhabitants and all questions relating the economic and political status of the L and*. In conclusion he says that pending i negotiation he recaived assurances fro representative* of the leading powers of tl world in this city, and from our own min ters abroad, convincing him that the inoc poration of the Hawaiian Islands into t Union will be regarded by these powers wi satisfaction or ready acquiescence. The treaty itoelf provides for the cas3ii ?* oil nf anvarAiirntv ov?r thn isl*nd all pub.'ic buildings and prop?rtv to tl United States revenue from public lan exoept such as are reserved for Governnne parposes to bo used exclusively for the be eflt of thepeople of the islands.

The ceremony of raising the on the first foster ship of ttils-country was to have taken place at midday, bur, owinz to the delay of the train that carriei President Harrison, It was not until ten minutes after 2 o'clock that the baptism occurred When President Harrison stepped upon the gang plank accompanied by Secretaries Foster, Tracy, Rusk and Elkin3,PostmasterGeneral Wanam&ker, Private Secretary Halford and Mayor Gilroy, everybody on bo axdwas standing to receive him. President Griscom, of the American line, stepped forward and welcomed him on board. The Naval Reserve were also drawn up to receive him.

By a mechanical contr. vance the flags from the three lofty 9pars were at the same tims broken loose from their bonds, aud in a moment were floating prouily in the breezj. As the flag floated out all the vessels in sight dipped their pennants three tinges. As soon as the ropei were made fast. President Harrison turned and addressed the crowd who thronged th9 deck. He said; "It gives me pleasure to consummate her a tc-Jay, by the act of lifting this flag, the efforts in support of a principle to which I give my hearty support. "I have felt as a'citizen and as President a mortification which every American must feel who examines into the standing of the United States in the merchant mirmeof the v\ orld. "I believe we have reached an epoch in our development whan v?a may successfully begin the work of carrying our share of the world's commerco upon the seas. 'We lift the fl?g to-day over one ship, a magnificent specimen of the naval art, one of the best on any sea. 4>rhat event is interesting in itself, but its interest to me is in the fact that thii ship is the type and precursor of many others."

N. Roach, Democrat, Elected to Sacceed Senator Casey. The long fight at Bismarck, North Dakota, over tbe election of a United States Senator to succeed Lyman R. Casey was ended by the choice of William N. Roach, one of the leading Democrats of the State. This result in a Lagislatura controlled by a Republican majority was brought about through a combination of Democrats, Populists and ten Republicans, who had grown tired of ths long struggle and determined to settle it, even at the expense of their own party. When the sixty-first ballot wa3 taken these ten Republicans vot9d for Mi-. Roach, whose remaining forty votes were made up by Democrats and Populists. These fifty votes made a majority on joint ballot, and Mr. Roach was declared elected. Willian N. R>ach is an "old settler" in that State. His home is in Larrimore, Grand Porks County. He was one of the founder's ofthat town and was its first Mayor. Mr. Roach was born in Virginia in ISlOand educated in Georgetown College, Washington, D. C.
