DOLE CONES VISITING
HaWaiTS President Lands at
San Francisco.
TO GO TO WASHINGTON
Where He Will Watch the
Annexation Treaty.

I OF a coreign country. Inc feru arrived
shortly after O'Clock last night and the
quarantine regulations were not waived
in favor of the visiting president, SO he
remained on board all night. When the
steamer locked this morning President
ode was greeted by the Hawaiian consul
and few friends, but there were no rep
resentatives Of the United States govern
ment to formally welcome him. The Gus
tom officials passed the baggage of him
self and family without inspection and
that was all. Owing TO the fact that the
steamer came in after dark last night no
salute was fired by any OF the forts
around the bay.
WHAT HAWAII EXPECTED.
That a different reception was antici-
pated is evidenced by the following let
ctr from the American Press correspond
ent al Honolulu:
"HonlulU, Jan. 9.-President ode and
his party will leave for Washington this
evening by the steamship Peru. Mrs.
| ode viii accompany the party as far as
! San Francisco, and will remain in that
| city until the return OF the president.
President oDle viii remain two days in
| San Francisco, communicating with the
| Hawaiian legation at Washington. In the
! meantime, if the Hawaiian annexation
| question has not been settled by con-
| gress, the president will proceed TO Wash

/ the same deferred indefinitely, then it is

There is much speculation here as TO
the manner in which President Mckinley
will receive the visit of Hawairs chief
executive Win tn late Kalakua went TO
notice of his program. This gave suf-
fcient time 10 make complete prepara-
tions for the reception and entertainment
Of the monarch President ode viii
touch the California shore forty-eight
coming His visit differs in about every
feature from that of Kalakua.
Wv. NJ Armstrong, who accompanied
King Kalakua TO Washington, states that
the president does not return calls This
is. Of course, for the excellent and clear
reason that there has not been at any
time as a resident or visitor peer OF
the occupant of the White House. Upon
this occasion, however, the president OF
the United States viii depart from the
common custom. or rather from the ordi-
nary routine of his official life. Etiquette
REQUIRES that President Mckinley shall.
as soon as convenient, return the call Of
President Dole.
In the prelminaries necessary 10 the
meeting of the two heads Of nations, the
Hawaiian minister at Washington. Mr..
T. NJ. Hatch. Will first communicate with
Secretary Sherman. who in turn shall
notify President Mckinley that President
ode will soon call at the White House.
The details Of the presentation will be ar
ranged and will be communicated by Sec
retary Sherman 10 Minister Hatch.
when President ode goes off to a for
eign ship in this port he Is honored with
a salute of twenty-one guns, and the
wards are manned There can only be
conjecture as to what ceremony will at
tend the greeting Of President Dole upon
his arrival at the White House. II the
European custom is followed he viii be
met at his carriage by President McKin-
ley.
Minister Hatch, at the official recep-
ton. will present Presiden Dole to Secre-
tarv sherman. who viii in turn present
the visitor 20 President Mckinley. The
welcome to the White House may include
military display or it may be quiet and
democratic; It all depends upon the pro-
gram as prepared by Secretary Sherman
and President Mckinley"
