tiOn should be taken by the United

Albert Willis, the new minister TO |
Hawaii, was again at the state depart
ment to-day and had another confer
ence with Secretary Gresham on Ha-
waiian matters. subsequently the
two went over TO the White House |
and saw the president. Willis had al |

secretary of state, but it was not untll /
today that he was able to get from the |
president personal statement on the
subject of his policy toward the Ha-
waiian islands.

missioner to negotiate the annexation
of Hawaii to the United States, Is in

lister to the United States, Thurston.
Hastings, the secretary of the legation,
