the tribune from washington says if a vote could be taken today the proposition to annex the hawaiian islands would undoubtedly fail to se cure the necessary two thirds birds majority this is the result of an informal canvass of the senate made since the opening by senators who are more or less favorable to the project they say sa that thus tar far not over half a dozen of ahe the democrats have announced them noves as being openly in favor of the treaty there are about ton tn of the acme aade party who are admittedly on the fence at the present time they would vote against the treaty in all proba ability but are expected to be won over in the course of the debate the remainder of the democrats numbering eighteen or so are apparently hostile to the annexation for various reasons many of the southern senators it is said oppose annexation because the they fear that the republicans will ultimately secure political advantage by the annexation of the islands of the republicans public ans in the senate by far the greater portion accept hawaiian annexation as aa an established republican doctrine there are however quite a number especially from new england who are opposed to annexation of any more territory by the united states the full membership of the senate is brinety it therefore requires sixty votes to pass the treaty as a treaty and without resorting to the subterfuge of a joint resolution thirty one senators can defeat the treaty entirely and a much smaller number it if sufficiently belligerent can prevent action for a long time the opponents of annexation say that at the present time they can count on twenty five democratic senators seven republicans and three independents making a total of thirty five or more than enough to defeat the treaty there are many senators who believe that by withholding their votes on hawaii they can be able to force the president and his advisors to do something for cuba representative tawney of minnesota who visited hawaii in company with uncle joe cannon saye it is the women among the natives who are opposing annexation the reason is h he e says they have an eye to future social prestige the native women are now recognized as the equals of the white women and are classed in the same social set there is a disposition on the part of the white women however to class the native females as negroes and the natives believe that annexation will increase the number of white women in the island to such an extent that eventually athly they will be relegated to the negro class entirely the native women are doing everything n heir power to arouse a sentiment against annexation davenport la dec 8 hampton roads a wax war drama dealing with the monitor and the merrimac was produced here
