ton-On II Friendly visit.

i san Francisco. January 17.-When Presi-
ldent Dole OF Hawaii landed from the
steamship Peru this morning. he was not
ireceived with the ceremony befltting the
president Of a foreign country. He arrived
shortly after G o'clock last night and the
! quarantine regulations were not waived in
! favor Of the visiting president, so he re-
manned on board all night When the
| steamer docked this morning President
and few friends, but there were no rep
rosentatives OF the United States govern
ment TO formally welcome him. The GUS
| toms officials passed the baggage OF him
self and family without inspection and that
was ALL owing to the fact that the steam
err came in after dark last night no salute
WAS fired by any Of the forts around the
bank. That a different recention was an
ticipated is evidenced by the following let
ter from the Associated Press correspond
cnt at Honolulu:
Honolulu, January o. 1895. There Is
much speculation here as TO the manner
in which President Mckinley viii receive
the visit OF Hawaii's chief executive. When
the late King Kalakua went to Washington
there was ample advance notice OF his
coming. Complete preparations were made
for his entertainment as there was plenty
of time. President Dole viii touch the Cal
iiornla shore forty-eight hours after the
announcement of his coming. His visit
diHers in every feature from King kala-
kaua's visit w. n. Armstrong. who ac-
companied kalakaua. states that the presi-
dent does not return calls. This is, of
course for executive and clear reasons that
there has not been at any time as resi-
dent or visitor. a peer of the occupant OF
the White House. Upon this OCCASION
however, the president of the United States
VIII depnrt from the common custom, or
rather, from the usual routine of his official
NE Etiquette requires that President Me-
kinley shall as soon as convenient return
the call of President Dole.
In the preliminaries necessary TO the
meeting OF the two heads of nations the
Hawaiian minister at Washington, Mr..
Hatch, VIII first communicate with Secle-
tary Sherman. who in turn shall notify
President Mckinley that President Dole
Wili soon call at the White House. The
details of the presentation will be ARRANGED
ana VIII be communicated by Secretary
sherman to Minister Hatch. When Pres,-
dent Dole gees off 10 foreign ship in this
port, he is honored with n salute of twenty
z ms and the yards are manned. There can
only be conjecture as TO what ceremony

on his arrival at the White House II the |

minister Hatch, at the official reception. |
VIII present President Dole to Secretary |
sherman. who VIII. in turn. introduce him |
to President Mckinley. The welcome TO |
the White House may include a military |
display and ii may be quiet and democratic |
