Gresham today said to an Associated

nothing further would be given out on
the subject OF Hawaii. He went on to
say that it was not true that anything
further had been dispatched to Minister
Willis. This seems to intimate that
Willis is instructed to act in all contin-

president be impeached for his course in
the Hawaiian matter. Senators and

opinions on this phase of the question,
refused tc consider it seriously or to OK
press any opinion at all. The most that
any OF them would say is that no ques.

The course over which the electric test

The entire expense attendant upon the
test is borne by the Westinghouse Elec-

are to pay the company $50 per day from
the appropriation made to help these
tests during the actual time the tests are
in progress, a sum that will perhaps
cover the operating expenses, but will
not cover the cost of the plant and in

1t is generally understood here that
