ing the monarchy, and on Dec. 23, 1893, President

terfere with Hawaiian affairs, and the matter was

advocate annexation and in Januarj-, 1898, he
visited the United States with his wife and was

iian Islands and the act was signed by the Presi-

lulu, Aug. 12, at which time the in.structions of
President McKinley were announced, substan-
tially continuing the existing form of government
until legislation by congress on the subject
should determine the future policy of the govern -
ment and the existing officials were retained.
On June 14, 1900, he was inaugurated the first
