HONOLULU, Jan. o, via San Francisco, Jan.
13.-The Executive Council and tho Council Of
State in joint session yesterday decided that
President Dole can best serve tho republic In
this crisis by journeyinR to Washington and
joining there in the fight for annexation. Ac.
cordingly tho President is making hasty prepa-
rations 10 sail for San Francisco on the Pacific
Mail steamship Peru on Jan. 8, and ho hopes
to arrive in Washington by the time the debate
on annexation is fairly under way.
The plan for the President to 20 to Washing
ton is only Of recent origin, and 1t has fallen
like bombshell in the camp of the royalists.
Although the idea Of sending the President on
was mentioned several months ago, 1t was not
urged until the past week, when the Annexa-
tion Club took the matter up and approached
the Cabinet on the subject.
Not only did the Cabinet readily acquiesce,
but prominent citizens came forward and
urged the President to undertake the journey.
When the Council Of State and the Executive
Council took the matter up they expressed their
approval without dissenting voice.
For several weeks past tho Government has
watched with growing alarm tho effect Of the
ex-Oueens presence in WashinPton While
having absointeIv M foir oronnd an which to

through force and fraud. While the friends OF
annexation at the national capital have worked
hard to Offset this influence. Il has proved a
disturbing element in the fight, and President
