Of tho persons who stood In (be diplomatic room of the Slate Department to-dny three were present when the original treaty was signed, namely, Special Commissioner Lorln Thurston and Assistant SecreturiM Adeo nud CrIdler. It is an unnsoal thing for a treaty of such Importsnon to be eigued early in the morning, but in Ibis esse It wss desired tbst the convention be made ready early iu order Uiat it might be submitted to the Senate on tho day of its signature. The document itself had beeu prepared carefully over night. In fact, It was practically completed at tho close of office hours yesterday, but it was necessary to make a close com parison nnd tbs 1’residenl wished an other opportunity to go over the docu ment. l-'or the United Stale*, there were Secretary Sherman.

After the formal greeting*, the credentials of the pleni potentiaries wero scanned and re corded. Secretary Sherman alode rep resented the United States In the sig nature of tho convention. Then came the reading and comparison of tire trusty. Of this there were two drafts, ooe to bo held by esoh, Uter on to be exchanged in tho usual form.

Tbs treatise wets scaled by Assistant Secretary Crtdler with a private teal carried oo Ids watch chain, the copies were handed to their re spective custodians, and the treaty wav made, as far as tbe Executive branch of the Government could affect It. There was u general exchange of Congratulations between tbe parties to tbe cetemony, and after a photograph bad been taken of tbe Commissioner* the ceremony was ended. before tbe final signature of llie document, the Secretary of State was presented with a formal protest by tbe Japanese Government, through its legation here, against the conananna tlon of tbe sgieemeot. The proteat is understood to be baaed on apprehen alou Ibat the special treaties now exist ing between Japan and Masrali, under which the Japanese enjoy privikxtes, will be affected injuriously by complete annexation. Tiro (maty reached the Senate cham ber at 5 o’clock to-day. The Senate at once went Into executive session, and as soon as tbe doors were closed tbe tnouago of President McKinley ac companying the treaty and tbe treaty Itself were read to the Senate. They were attentively listened to. In one part or the chamber thero was « group of Senators who will bitterly oppose tbe ratification of tbe treaty. Amoug them were Senators Gray, Mills, Pasco, While, Caffery, Petti grew, and McEnery. As soon as the reading of tlw documsnt was completed, Senator Davis, Chairman of tbe Committee on Foreign ltsla tiors, movrrt Ibat the message sod treaty ho made public.

U dealt with historical facte concerning the Maude, and ibowed thet the Uulted SUtce aud Hawaii yearly grew more elooely bound to eueh other. Tble was not isally annexation, he laid, but a continuation of existing rotations with closer bonds between the people otoeely related by blood and kindred ties. Sines 1S»>. said the rrealdeul, the pre dominance of the United Slates had been known. Tbs sending of tlie first envoy there brought the Itlnnde Into etoeer relations with the United States, end those relatione hud grown tnoro Brsn by secceedlng events At I be same time lh* trlpnrUla agreement waa mads for the liovernmaut of Samoa, he laid, Great Britain and Germany wanted to Include Hawaii la the group over which a protectorate waa established, but the aaggaetloa waa rrjeoted by the United States be cause thla Government held that there already existed relations between Hawaii and tbe United States which placed Ike Islands under the especial ears of tbla country, and that this Government oould not allow soy other country to interfere la the affaire of Hawaii. Tbe annexation of tbe litands, said tbe President, and making them a part of tbe United States, was In accordance with the established policy of tbla oountry. Tbe President called attention to tbe fact that a legitimate and existing Government of Hawaii offered to an nex the islands to the United States la lfS], but ou accouut of what waa deemed beat policy tbe annexation waa not aooopted by this oouutry. He! stated that ike United States had vir tually exorcised a protectorate over the Islands since tbe flrsc. American mis sion, and guaranteed the autonomy of tha Governments of tbe group. The Glands bad been largely settled by our poople, and our people were now In terested In them. American Interests predominated, and wc bad grown to consider Uiem coder our protection. Tbe preseut treaty was In Uie light of a uontumnatloo of what had practi cally been Id existence for years. Referring to the treaty negotiated under the Harrison Administration, President McKinley said that Um fall to accept tbe proffer of annexation id 1B03, while not a subject ot coogrmt ulatlon, was not wholly without its value, as It had demonstrated the existing Government could maintain itself, aud no question oould be raised of the authority of the preatot Govern ment to negotiate the present treaty or of its right to yield the sovereignty of the Islands. raorxsr vboh japan. Tbs Japanese government Las (Usd a protest against the Hawaiian treaty oo tbe ground that It prom Ism to lead to a breach of the treaty stipulations be tween Japan aud Hawaii!. The news of tite protest was s great surprise to tbe Hawaiian legation, and as soon as Intelligence of It was ob tained, Minister Hatch started out to learn the particular*. Tbe essentia) point ns to tbe protest, It Is said, at the Hawaiian legation is, whether the protest against the annexation of Hawaii or is merely a protest rear nr to -lapau all her righto under tbe ex isting treaty of Hawaii. It la be lieved that It Is tbe latter. JAI-AJIBM TH«ATV. The Japanese treaty with Hawaii w*s Diode In 1H7I, sod provides that natives or oltlMns of one oountr» shall have the uninterrupted right to' enter Into, reside sod trade In the other country, and also shall Lave the right a aod privileges enjoyed by the people of any other country under treaty stipulations with Japan. Japan under the treaty consequently has a perfect nght to have her Immigrants eoter the Hawaiian Island*. Under Interna tional law tho annexation of Hawaii to the United State* would abrogate this treaty. Moreover a new treaty between the United States and Japan made some time ago and to become effective In 1BTO provide* that the U Dltfd State* may exclude Japanese, if Hawaii la aunnxad ih* effect would be to permit tbe United Stales to ex clude ibe Japanese from Hawaii. It is taken for granted, therefore, that tbe protest Is one reserving Japanese right* under it* treaty of 18T7 with Hawaii. WIIAT IHE Tar ATT run VI DEM.
