One of President Harrison's last acts has been to approve
the annexation of Hawaii. He forwarded, last week, a Treaty to the Senate, in which the Government of the United States agree with the Provisional Government in Honolulu to accept the Island Kingdom, on condition that it shall be governed like Alaska by a Commissioner with power to veto any law passed by the local representatives. It is specially provided, moreover, that Hawaii sugar shall not enjoy the bounty paid 1410fl sugar produced within the Union. The sugar interest is, nevertheless, alarmed ; and it is said that the Senators hesitate to ratify the Treaty, partly because they wish, for the Opinion of the new Government, which comes in next week, partly because they foresee many constitutional difficulties arising from such a possession. The heiress of the Throne, who has been educated in England, has started for Washing- tton to plead her own cause ; but it is hardly probable that the entreaties of a "coloured person" will weigh much with Senators from the South, whose opinion tells so heavily in the Democrat ranks.
