been Such as to warrant his continuance as
governor Of Hawaii. and entitle him 10 the
respect and hearty support Of the adminis-
tration.''
This result has been confidently predicted
from the beginning by the friends of Gov.
Dole, who believed that his personal expla-
nation of affairs in Hawaii would be amply
sufficient to set at rest some of the charges
that have been made. Gov. Dole has made
a splendid impression on the President. He
had conference Sunday night with the
President, and was with him again today
Mr.. Carter who is a senator in the terrific
rial legislature, was with Gov. Dole each
time.
Governor Dole was shown the official
statement and expressed satisfaction that
the President had spoken so kindly of him.
Governor Dole is going to Boston and viii
not depart for Honolulu for two weeks
He said that he had enjoyed his visit to
Washington.
Governor Dole was asked if his health
would interfere with his completing his
term, which does not expire until June
1904 Governor Dole said that a year ago
he broke down under overwork and had to
go to the mountains for vacation. The
rest did him good and his health Is now
good. He no reason to believe nat
anything would interfere with finishing his
term.
The understanding is that the Presidents
conclusion as to Gov. Dole means that
Henry f. Cooper. secretary of the terri
tory, will not be disturbed He will remain
under Gov Dole. Mr.. Cooper is acting
governor in the absence of Gov. Dole. No
other changes of consequence will be made,
and apparently the Hawaiian situation is
solved for good while to come.
Exposition to Be Postponed.
The Louisiana Purchase Exposition Com
pany has under serious consideration the
subject Of taking action relative to post
poning the fair at ST, Louis until 1904. This
was learned at the White House today
from members of the government commits
sion to the fair.
Ex-senator Carter of Montana and ex-
Representative John NJ. Allen Of Missis-
sippi, both members of the commission,
were visitors to the White House, not in
connection with the affairs Of the commits
sion or of the exposition. but to pay their
respects and to present friends. Messrs.
Carter and Allen look for action at St.
Louis within twenty days, although a post
ponement is being bitterly fought within
the exposition company. A few of the
strongest officials of the company do not
like the idea of postponement. They be-
lieve that by hustle and energy the fair
can be completed. The vast majority of
the officials, however, believe the task is
impossible.
Just so soon as something is done at ST.
Louis the government commissioners will
meet here for action. The government
board is practically unanimous in the opin-
ion that the opening of the fair should
be postponed for year, but the members
are SO placed that they cannot adopt this
view without coming in conflict with some
OF the exposition officials.
Ex-Representative John Allen: '1t is be-
coming strongly apparent that the fair can
not be made ready by 1903; that is, and
make 1t the great worlds exposition that
Is desired.
ITO begin with. the drain on the labor of
the country would be enormous If the fair
Is to be opened in year Then, many of
the foreign governments want more time
in which to get ready to take part. Next,
many Of the state legislatures will not meet
until next January to act on the matter
Of providing for exhibits. Some of them
have not met since the exposition was sane
toned by the government"
President Going to New York.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt will leave
Washington Friday afternoon or evening
for New York to attend the installation on
Saturday Of DIR. Nicolas Murray Butler as
president Of Columbia University, to
succeed Seth Low. They will return on Sat
urday night or Sunday night.
Mr.. sharkey to Be Nominated.
The President has finally decided upon
the nomination Of Robert A. Sharkey as
naval omcer at Brooklyn, and the name
will go to the Senate Immediately. This is
one Of the New York cases that have been
held up SO long.
The Indian Commission.
Senators Quay and Penrose Of Pennsyl,
vania had conference with the President
today. 1t is stated that they have Joined
with Pennsylvania representatives in urg-
ing Archbishop Ryan for appointment to
the vacancy on the board Of Indian COM
missioners. The mattex is apparently not
that II Archbishop Ryan is not selected the
