specific reference to the mission of the
commissioners was touched upon. The
affair was entirely informal, and lasted
about half an hour in a pleasant con-
versation with the President. After the
reception the commissioners were shown
through the mansion They were much
interested in the public reception in the
East room, and remained until it's close.
The Hawaiian commissioners followed
up the distinct advantage gained by their
official recognition to-day by the Presi-
dent, which gives them a diplomatic
standing, by calling in their new capacity
as recognized ENJOYS upon Secretary Fos-
ter at the State Department this after
noon. Their conference commenced about
o'clock and lasted an hour and a half.
The President in accentuating his cor
dial reception of the commissioners this
afternoon had intmated to them that
the negotiations which proved the sub
ject Of their mission would be conducted
by the Secretary Of State. The commits
sioners accordingly repaired to the State
Department at the close of the ordinary
routine days business and laid before
Secretary Foster in detail the practical
proposition they were authorized TO sub
nit. Some progress was made as to ar
irving at a harmonious view Of the ex-
igencies OF the situation, but no definite
conclusion was reached. and the confer
ence adjourned until Monday
