taches oi every department ot the Post

postoffice. The event was preceded by a
dinner, to which quite a number of the

it is expected to form an interesting

lowed in years to come.
What is considered in Washington as
one of the most significant moves in the
entire Hawaiian discussion was the ear
nest speech made by Senator Dolph the
other day in favor of the United States
assuming control of the islands. Sena
tor Dolph is one of the most influential
members of the Committtee on Foreign
Relations, and his action in these mat
ters carries great weight. The speech
was full of statistics, giving everything
of any value concerning the commercial
advantages of Hawaii, ana will be a text
for the discussion that will ensue after
the arrival of the Commissioners. It is
replete with such information as both
House and Senate will need to act in
teliigently upon the great question.

ately sent to the printer, so that it may
be considered at an eariy date. The
Senator says he is going to make every
effort to push the bill through, although
it is so late in the session that he may
find it difficult The bill provides that
the land shall be thrown open upon the
nroclamation of the President, but Mr,
Dolph is of the opinion that this will be
stricken out and the lands opened so
soon as the agreement is ratified by Con
gress. He considers the agreement
reached with the Indians very satisfac
