DOLE BACK IN HAWAII
BELIEVES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
ALL FAVOR ANNEXATION.
Admits the Maine Disaster Has Tenn
Dorarily. Cast Gloom over the
Prospects of the Treaty.

SAN FRANCISCO, March B.-By the
steamer China, which arrived to-day, the
Hawaiian correspondent of the American
Press sends the following: Honolulu,
March 6.-President Dole returned TO Homo
lulu on the morning of the 4th. After a
cabinet meeting held Immediately on his
arrival, he was interviewed by an Asso-
ciated Press reporter. He spoke very frank
ly on matters pertaining to his mission to
Washington. Yes. shall be very glad in
deed to tell the people anything l know rel
ative to annexation" Said the President.
The Maine disaster absorbed the atten-
ton of the statesmen in Washington pre-
vious to my departure for Hawaii. When
that has quieted down, I believe Hawaiian
annexation will be paramount in Congress.
When L was in Washington 1 met many
friends of Hawaii They feel confident
that annexation will come. While there
was doubt whether the treaty would Sc
cure the required sixty votes in the SEN
ate, still it was the consensus OF opinion
that a joint resolution would carry in both
houses. I place much reliance in what was
told me by Senators and Congressman who
are fighting for Hawaii, for l know them to
be working faithfully and earnestly"
What is Speaker Reeds attitude"' the
President was asked.
when 1 was in the American capital
learned that he always opposed annexa-
ton, although he has made no demonstra-
tion against the treaty.
MY impression of President Mckinley?
Well will reply that it is extremely favor
able 1 found him to be an unassuming,
frank and sterling man. He seems to have
heart and soul in the annexation treaty.
Our reception was extremely cordial and
hospitable. All along the line to and from
Washington, throngs of people came to see
me. We shook hands and in many in
stances was obliged to speak briefly from
the car platform. 1t was from these peo-
pie that 1 gathered the impression that
Uncle Sans adoption of Hawaii was the
popular sentiment througout the land"

Russia Controls the Finances.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.-The steam
er China which sailed from Hong-Kong on
Feb. II. and from Yokohama on Feb. "a,
arrived here to-day, bringing the following
Oriental advices:
The Corean finances will hereafter be
managed by Russian bankers, residing at
Seoul. All the monetary transactions of the
kingdom VIII henceforth be conducted by
the Russian-Ccrean bank, which was opened
at Seoul on Feb. 1S. with capital of $500. 900.
On the first day that the bank was opened
for business the COrean treasury deposited
100000 with the Russian financiers.
The building Of a first-class Japanese
cruiser is about to be begun at Yokosuka
for the Mikado's government. The Japanese
standing squadron held naval maneuver
off the Port of Shinidu for a fortnight
from Feb. Is to Feb. %. The results are
highly satisfactory to the Japanese govern
unent.
The Japan Mail deprecates the idea of any
disturbance of Oriental peace relations
through the possible failure of China to pay
the installment of the indemnity due in
May, and amounting to seventeen and one
half million taes. No difficulty is antici-
pated in raising the same by means of the
Chinese sincerity bonds" which are vir-
tually compulsory to the nobility and to civil
and military officials, all being expected to
subscribe for these bonds in proportion to
their rank and income. These bonds are to
be guaranteed by the land taxes and salt
duties

she is only waiting now for her working

people families can care for is most grati-
flying. Many families will literally turn
their homes into barracks for the entertain
ment of the city's guests. if necessary. If
jealous attention and genuine evidences of
hospitality will make our guests at home,
they will imagine thai they have always
lived in Columbus. The response for funds
has been most creditable to the citizens of
Columbus. All are taking an interest.
There are no jealousies no partyism, but
every one vies even with the veterans in
showing that Columbus can take care of
the State Encampment as well as ii has
been done elsewhere. l am told,' the young
