WAsHIxGrox CRY, March 30.-Minister
Carter, of Hawaii, expects to leave Wash
ington City on Thursday for New York,
whence he will go West, and during the
summer visit Honolulu. The minister
called on Secretary Blaine to pay his re-
spects and to say goodbye. Tonight Car
ter said that in his communica-
tions to his government he had
called its attention to what the
United States is doing with the South
American republics on the subject Of more
close trade relations, and had recon-
mended fuller reciprocity between the
United States and Hawaii. His sug-
gestions, he said, have, 80 far as he knows,
been looked upon favorahly. No positive
action. however. has been taken with re-
spect to the recommendation. He will
probably discuss the subject with the gov
eminent officials when he reaches home
this summer. Carter says the old treaty
between the United States and Hawaii
has four or five years to run, and no new
treaty has been drafted or negotiated.
