 A New York special from Washing ton of June 1, reprinted here this morning, states that the ex-mnster had frequent conferences with Secre tary Gresham at the state department on the subject of annexation; also that the ex-minister at no time con sented that in the event of annexation any change in the relations of the ! mi s,,% sE ho h. !, about.
 Mir. Thurston being out of town, President Dole was interviewed on the subject. Mir. Dole said:
 Ut is my impression that Mr. Thurston never had the conferences named with Mir. Gresham. The posi- tion attributed to him on the subject of the relation of aliens, evidently mean ing Asiatic contract laborers, was one entirely outside of any views of this government. When the treaty of an- nexation was negotiated with Presi- dent Harrison, there was no other eX- pectation than that the United States law would obtain here on that subject 1t has always been expected that an nexation would put an end to the con tract system. The Tribune dispatch does not appear to be trustworthy
 Attorney-General Smith was also seen; He said that to the best of his knowlege no such interviews as those alleged ever took place. Tt was ex- peeted that the United States laws in the event of annexation, would put an end to the present system of labor and to the importation of Asi- atics, although it would be en- deavored not to make the change so abruptly as to cause q disaster to the planters The state ment seemed to have been made for some political object.
 Mir Thurston's public attitude here has always been conspieuously opposed to any permanent continuance of the contract system of labor
