/ JUST as they stepped on the platform
! the members of the royalist delegation
To- this city from Hawaii. who have

walking hastily down the platform.
They were John Richardson, Mr.. Kau-
/ liza and ID. Kalauokalani. all native Ha-
i Waiians, and they arrived just in time
! To- say farewell. They shook hands with
I President Dole and jumped on the plat

! Major Heistand, who. seeing that the
| royalSts had shaken hands with the
nations guest after the representatives
of the government had, ran along the
platform as the train was leaving and
grasped the hand of President Dole
who was standing on the platform.
The arrival of the royalist represent
IL
supposed that they went to the depot
on their own accord. They are we'll
aware that Mr.. Dole is a great man,
and, perhaps. wanted to give q slight
testimonial Of their high regard for
him.
The route of President Dole across
the continent will be as follows: Wash
ington to Baltimore, via the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad; to Buffalo, over the
Mort harm pai

PanAmerican Exposition Company to-
night: leave Buffalo tomorrow for
Cleveland, where Mrs. Dole will visit
brother whom she has not seen for
about ten years: Cleveland to St. Lou

They will embark on the Australia or

President Dole was Hospitality enter
tanned during his stay in this city He
made such a favorable impression upon
his arrival that he was not only visited
in his rooms at the hotel by many of
the most prominent men of the city in
national and local circles, but he was
also feasted by them.
After the formal exchange of courte-
sizes between the Hawaiian president
and the American President, ex-Presi
dent and Mrs. Harrison called to see
President Dole. Representative Hit.
chairman of the House Committee on
Foreign Relations; Senator Davis.
chairman of the corresponding commit
tee on the Senate side, and Senator
Morgan. who is also a member of the
latter committee, We're among the more
prominent callers on Mr.. Dole. Each
of these gentlemen spent a considerable
time with the Hawaiian president,
more than was necessary for a mere
formal exchange of greetings.
The mission of President Dole was
given out to be merely to ascertain the
sentiment of this country towards an
nexation, and to confer with the MEM
bers of the Hawaiian legation here. AS
stated in the interview that The Times
had with President Dole soon after his
arrival in Washington, President Dole
did not come to America to visit the
Capitol and lobby. This he has not i
done. but it is believed that the impress
sion he made will go a great way to-
ward bringing about the annexation of
the islands to this country.
