fairs of the day. At the latter hour Mr..

The Star man. realizing that the distin-
sUished visitor would not discourse upon
the all-abso rbing topic of annexation, re-
marked upon the beautiful weather which

hope that it would prove a harbinger of
equally pleasant weather for annexation.

pleasant to come from a warm climate to
one where the air was cool and bracing,

storm in Chicago the morning We left was

lent opportunity for us TO see a touch of
real winter. The snow was driven along

er is superb. The last two days l think are
the best We have had since our arrival in
the country"
He expressed the deep qualification he
felt at the many courtesies which were be-
irg extended to him, and again politely

this time during the tendency of the QueS-
tion in the Senate.

stay here" he continued. land, of course
shall give him such information he may
desire respecting pending questions be-
tween the two countries. / expect to stay

when our trip homewerd will begin. We
shall go from here direct to San Francisco,
taking the steamer there for Honolulu.
Certainly / should Ike to see the anneXa-
tion treaty ratified by the Senate before

not the case
