not hold the elections for the Legislature which
were expected be held In time for the regular
biennial session in September next. No explana-
ton accompa MED the notification and II was nor

Republic have been made up 10 January next with
the expectation that the Senate and House would

Consul-General Gilman says that the expectation
generally in Hawaii is that the Republic VIII be ad-
mitted to the Union with Territorial government,
with the same status exactly as the 1errltori"s
within the limits OF the Union on this continent,
and that 1t is a mystery 10 the Administration
party IN Hawaii why the United States Govern
