w Governor Sanford b. Dole and
MIR. w. n. Armstrong, of Homo
Iuls. arrived here this morning from
san Francisco by way of the Southern
Pacific Railroad. and took up quarters
at the Albany Hotel. on the corner Of
Ii and Seventeenth streets. Mr.. Lorrin
4. Thurston, who came by the north
era route. preceded them by one day.
and registered last evening at the Eb-
| bitt.
Governor Dole was delayed one day
by an unexpected delay in Los Angeles
He and Mr.. Armstrong left the train
there for little stroll and got too far
away, 50 that the train left them be
hind and they had to wait In Los
Angeles for twenty-four hours. The
Governor preferred the Southern route
to avoid some of the disagreeable eli
matte conditions of the long journey by
rail over the mountains.
II am feeling WELL" said the Cow
ernor little while after he arrived
this morning. II had a pleasant jour
ney here from Honolulu and am in good
health"
Mr.. Cortelyou, the Presidents secre-
! tary, has been notified Of the Cover
nor's arrival and readiness for con-
| ference with the President at his con-
| Vonience. He replied that a meeting
would be arranged at an early day.
Al present President Roosevelt Is in
South Carolina visiting the Charleston
Exposition He went there early this
week and this afternoon started on the
return trip, expecting to arrive here to-
morrow morning. As tomorrow is Cab
met day 1t is pretty certain that Cover
! IN wi "a a.
talk with the President before tomor-
row afternoon or evening and possibly
not before next week However, II the
President follows his usual program in
| such matters Governor Dole will be in
| vited soon TO the White House to din
! ner and the dinner will be followed by
a talk. Nothing can be said definitely
| in the Presidents absence, but 1t would
not be surprising If Governor Dole had
an invitation to dine at the White
House tomorrow evening. 1t IL not be-
lieved that the President will keep Gov
erner Dole waiting long for an audi
enoe, at least preliminary audience.
Mr.. George r. Carter came here this
msrning from Rochester, n. y, accom-
panied by Mrs Carter. and registered
at the Gordon Hotel on Sixteenth
street. IT was President Roosevelt's re-
quest that he should be here when Cow
erRor Dole came. II is supposed that
the President may invite Governor Dole
and MIR. Carter to be at the White
House at the same time, when Ha-
waiian matters are again discussed.
| Probably Governor Dole will be busy
during most of his stay here, as it was
stated today that the Senate commit
tee on Pacific islands and Porto Rico
| oil l,i i'm, tp
waiian matters. j told in my last let
ter how the House committee was plan
ming to give him a hearing on certain
of the bills introduced by Delegate Will
eek, not because there is any pros
pest OF the committee taking up those
bills and passing fayorably on them,
| but because this seems to be a favorite
opportunity for the committee to get
Information about the islands at first
hand. The Senate committee has a
similar desire.
| Land Commissioner Boyd who has
been awaiting Governor Dole's arrival,
catsed at the Albany this morning and
the two had a little conversation to-
gether. Mr.. Boyd wished to bring to
the Governors attention something of
the work he has been doing since ne
came here, much of which has already
been told in my letters. He wishes
Governor Dole TO make formal re-
guest OF the Secretary of the Interior
fer q photographer TO go to the Islands.
The Governor will take those matters
up as he has time. 1t is Mr.. Boyd's in
teRtion to leave here for Honolulu in IA
few days.
| HAWAIIAN LAND BILL.
There is nothing new 10 say about the
| Hawaiian land bill. / might reiterate
what have said before that there is
! no prospect OF any action on IL by
either branch of Congress There has
been some informal talk about sending
an official To the Territory this sum-
| mer To look over the ground. This talk
has been chiefly on the Senate side of
the Capitol, but has taken no definite
| shape as yet There seems to be Some
promise that man viii be sent in that
capacity, and the most natural selec-
ton would be Commissioner Hermann.
/ Governor Dole received an Invitation
TINS forenoon, soon after he arrived
To be the dinner guest this evening OF
ex-Secretary of State and Mrs. Foster.
He accepted the invitation. Several
prominent officials have been invited
and among those who have accepted is
Senator Lodge probably President
| Roosevelts closest friend in public life.
KoHALA DITCH BILL.
The decision of Assistant Attorney
General Van DeVenter, reversing the
former decision of Assistant Secretary
Ryan as to the right OF the Governor
OF the Territory to grant "A license for
the construction OF bitches across pub
lie lands and the disposition of public
