yesterday MORNING pV'WSSH ~ "NN -
o'clock and this afternoon at 8 o'clock.
There were present Secretary Foster
and Solicitor Partridge, representing the
United States, and Thurston, Wilder,
Castle, Marsden and Garter, the Haw-
iian commissioners; Mr.. Kinney, OF
Salt Lake City, who is present with
them as unofficial advisor and DR..
Mott Smith, the Hawaiian minister.
Mr.. Thurston, on behalf Of his asso-
ciates, presented their credentials from
President Dole Of the provisional gov
eminent, and supplemented them with
brief statement OF the events on the
islands which were the cause oil their
. visit,
Secretary Foster responded in a few
words OF welcome, stating the reason
for the GRAND was well known to the
people OF the United States.
After the exchange OF social greet
,ings, in the course OF which the secre-
tary expressed his regret that he was
unable to receive them at his own
house. which had been closed in ex-
, pectation OF his departure for Europe
this week, the interview closed with an
engagement to meet again at o'clock
this afternoon, at the same place.
The Hawaiian commissioners retired
Mt once to their hotel, where they dis
cussed the question OF making a state
ment to the people of the United States
upon the subject Of their mission to TINS
country. Mr.. Thurston was asked
whether the reception by Secretary
Foster had been satisfactory, and no re-
piled that it-had been quite so. OF the
details, however, he could not speak, as
he had been requested by Secretary
Foster, pending negotiations, to make
no statement regarding the progress
thereof.
Other members OF the commission
united with Mr.. Thurston in expressing
much satisfaction at the manner OF their
reception. Mr.. Castle said he had found
Secretary Foster TO be an exceedingly
affable gentleman, and he anticipated
very pleasant relations between him
and the commissioners during their
stay. They have been cordially re-
ceived by the representative OF the
United States government, he said, and
this beginning, he believed, augured a
satisfactory completion OF their meeting.
Tho second interview between the
Hawaiian Annexation Commissioners
and tho secretary OF state was even
shorter than the conference OF this
morning, and quito rs unproductiye in
results. There was some informal talk
over the annexation proposition, and
this was concluded by an agreement
that Secretary Foster should again meet
the commissioners on Tuesday morn
ing next for an extended conference.
The commissioners. while they arc
saying very little on the subject OF the
ultimate accomplishment OF their OBJ
iect, intimate that they feel very much
encouraged. No arrangements have
been made for their reception by Presi-
dent Harrison, but this will probably
take place in few days, as the recog-
milton OF the new government by tins
country removes any hesitation the
President might feel in giving the COM
missioners Il formal audience.
People wondered to-day at the strange
flag floating over Wormley's Hotel. 1t
had a foreign look, and there were many
inquiries as to its significance. The
flag Is tho ensign OF the kingdom OF Ha-
wall, and signifies the presence in the
! hotel OF the commissioners selected to
negotiate the annexation OF Hawaii to
the United States. 1t is flag OF red,
white and blue stripes, with red cross
in the corner

the Hawaiian revolution received by
him from Minister Stevens on the 2Sth
of January by telegraph from San Fran
cisco, and the answer he sent the minis
ter. Tho information contained in the

Your dispatch, telegraphod from San
