cussed the Sandwich Island subject
with the President at some length. He
met many of the Administration lead

. particularly agreeable, and before the
latter departed the President informed
Mr.. Dole he would be glad to have him
accept the Governorship of the Islands

form of government became a law Mr.
Dole replied that he would accept the
place with pleasure, and today forty
eight hours after the President signed
the Hawaiian bill, the agreement en-
tered into at that time was carried out
