PRESIDENT DOLE COMES.
HE ARRIVES by THE KINAU THIS
MORNING.
How He Looked 80 His Amiable Wife
where They Went - The
Presidents Views.

When the steamer Kinau was signal
ed this morning at a. m, the tele-
phones awoke with the multitudnou us
EXPLANATIONS "Is the China off porty'
The question was repeated until at last
the Bell telephone operator managed to
yell "nd,cv to a hundred patrons. when
the cry at once broke out, "well then
its President Dole"
1t ,cds President Dole, the best man
in Hawaii for his years and experience.
The man who stood back of the Repub-
lie when it wanted brave, true friend,
aud who received thousand welcomes
when the Kinau came into port.
When the steamer kinau drew
near the wharf the few who had col
lected at the early hour-half-past six
saw standing at the gangway the Presi-
dent OF the Republic of Hawaii, his good
wife leaning upon his arm and Colonel
Iaukea at his shoulder.
The President wore plain suit of
blue serge, buttoned closely about his
throat, with his sailing hat drawn
closely over his eyes. His friends who
looked upward from the wharf noticed
that his beard had grown a trifle grayer,
but that his face had at the same time
grown trife younger by absence.
Gathering their traps hastily the party

rages and were whirled rapidly up Fort
street, through Union and up Emma
street to the Dole mansion. Arriving
there hasty breakfast was taken after
which the President and his wife drove
away, upon the earnest solicitation of
thier friends, to half dozen points in
the city.
When seen this afternoon at . o'clock
in the Gold Room at the Executive
Building, President Dole grasped the
STAR man by the hand, as he would any
other republican, with full fist OF
warmth. and the EXPLANATIONS "rnl
glad to see you, were mutual.
Come in" s; / the President, 81 am
really glad to get back, although the
Royalists have ungraciously sent me &c
the coast"
The smile of the President at this
point was so irresistible that the STAB
man justly suggested that the average
Royalst statement allowed the usua
leeway, and was of no consequence,
any way when 1t came to Republicans
perhaps so, perhaps" said President
Dole as he caught his full whiskers in
his hand and looked carefully away
but you see I've only been in Hawai-
to look into certain local matters; my
health and my whereabouts have
really never annoyed me, but
said the President, smiling again
the best interests of the Island o
Hawaii have annoyed me and my visi
has not been so much in the interests 0
my own health as to thoroughly under
stand the material and industrial inter
ests of the various districts through
which was to-trayeh'
Speaking of myself and the Govern
ment," said President Dole, 81 feel tina
my trip to the Island has been of mucl
value to the Government especially re
garding the matter OF public lands an
wharves.
"But, President" queried the re
porter, care you satisfied with the mar
ner in which the Republic has been ru
since your DEPARTURE
The President looked the reporte
keenly In the eyes a moment, and the
replied, Eyes, | am thoroughly sati

In conversation later the Presidei
-, stated that while he did not wish to pa
compliment upon Minister Hatch
felt that the Republic owed great de
, to his sagacity and foresight in u
Foreign Office.
The President stated that during h
visit he met the natives of Olaa who e

natives talked in the same stra

point not to talk of political matter
