Major McKinley's message to Congress says that the annexation treaty entered into with Hawaii continues the existing relations, but makes closer bonds between the people closely related by blood ties. The President asserts that the American Government will not allow any country to interfere between America and Hawaii. In political circles in Washington it is expected that the Senate will pass the treaty. Tokio, June 17. Marquis Ito, formerly Premier of Japan, is of opinion that, the new American - Hawaiian treaty will certainly not create any international difficulty.
