July 07, 1898

THE GLOBE, South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, July 7, 1898  Page 3 contains the historic report of the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States with column heads: "ANNEXATION OF HAWAII" "The Bill Goes Through the Senate by a Decisive Vote" '"Senator Morrill Against It" and more. The text takes two-thirds of a column. Nice in that this is a same-day report.

Four pages, very light toning, nice condition.
