HONOLULU, January 8, 1808. President Dole leaves here today for Washington, for the purpose of assisting to promote the annexation of Hawaii to the United States. Mr. Dole goes partly as @ strong, though temporary, reinforcement to assist the Hawaiian representatives by his wise and authoritative counsel. They used to keep in frequent personal touch with their government, either by visiting home, which is now out of the question, or else by some leading man from here carrying ad- vice to them. For such purpose Mr. Dole is the beet ran now available. Ministers Cooper and Smith having each gone on sim!- lar errands to Washington during the past year, Mr. Dole has been uninteruptedly per- forming the duties of president in Hawaii for five years, and a brief change may be welcome to him. He hopes to return home speedily, so as not to lose much of the meeting of the legislature, which begins a few weeks. * We are rather glad to have our president }Show himself in Washington, 1 lot Black Mohair Skirts, full width; deep ruffle; also lined: 4 different styles; 10 styles to ing price ....
