Howe's bill providing for the rosubmlsslon
of the school fund amendment defeated at the
last election was also passed ,
Tlio stock yards bill nrried overwhelm
ingly , the votcstandlng 03 for to 23 against.
The house adjourned until 4 o'clock , as the
earlier part ofjiftcrnoon was set apart for
the submission of Information by the rail
road officials , the same ns was given In the
senate yesterday ovenlnc. The meeting for
that purpose wassot for 1 :30 : o'clock.
Hciinl tlio Knlln til Song.
The house was enlightened on railroad
matters this afternoon , after the order
practiced In the senate ycstertay.
The same crowd of railway ofilclals was
present and they rehearsed the same
speeches with slight variations as sub
mitted for the edification of the senators.
The meeting was ostensibly a session of the
railroad committee of the house , but It was
open to nil members nnd outsldo i .cctators ,
nnd not only the lloor and lobl . , but gal-
lorlcs as well , were well filled.
Chairman I'orter of the railroad com
mittee occupied the speaker's chair ,
and no other members of the
comml'j.eo ' worO seated directly in
front of the desk of the reading clerk. The
: ncotlng was called to order at 1 :30. : and no
time was lost until the tlrno had expired , nnd
the house reconvened at "o'clock. The speak
ers wore Messrs. Orr of the Missouri Pacific ,
Marouotto nnd Holdrcg" of the B , & M. ,
Hawley nnd Burtof the Elkhorn , Tiddomoro
of the Pacific Short Line , Drew of the St.
Joe & Grand Island , Dickinson and Kelly of
the Union Pacific , nnd Knodell , Day and
Golden of the Hallway Employes association.
Several questions were asked by Stevens ,
Ncwbcrry nnd a few other members , but the
other side carried altogether too many guns
for them , nnd the anti-railroaders were com
pletely silenced by the eloquence and figures
that were turned loose against them. At the
expiration of the tune allotted for committee
work the house reconvened and resumed
the consideration of bills on third reading.
Other Hill * on I'liK-mgn.
No. 209 , Burns' cruelty to animals bill , was
defeated , lacking one of the number neces
sary to pass. It was opposed not because
the members were not in favor of action on
that point , but because It was so drawn as
to confer too much power on persons not
duly elected as officers , and would allow
them to make a good thing out of the un
called for or malicious prosecution of cases.
No. 307 , Howe's bill , pioviding for the ap
pointment of a committee to revise the con
stitution of the state , was defeated.
No.80.ri , Nelson's bill , appropriating 53,000
for the relief of George Maurer for disabil
ities contracted during the Wounded Knee
campaign as a member of Nebraska National
guard , was passed with emergency clause.
{ To. 165 , Howe's bill , relating to the matric
ulation fees of the State Normal school , was
passed , and the house then adjourned until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

JflnrrU * Anti-Puns Itosolntlou Deliberately
fHioltod to Death. _
LINCOLN , Nob. , March 1. [ Special to TIIE
BBE. ] The fortieth day of the senatorial
brunch of the legislature commenced a little
late this morning , but the business of the
day was pushed with an unwonted vigor.
The general order was taken up and reports
from standing committees were received as
follows :
From the committee on municipal affairs
Senator North reported senate file No. 73 , by
North , amending the liquor laws , with the
1 recommendation that the bill pass as
amended by the committee.
The same committee reported senate file
No. 103 , by Darner , nuthorizing cities to con
struct nnd operate gas nnd electric light
works , with the recommendation that it be
Indefinitely postponed. Chairman North ex
plained that senate file No. 150 contained
practically the same features and would bo
reported favorably.
The same committee recommended that
senate file No. 174 bo placed on the general
file. It is by Miller and provides that county
treasurers shall on demand turn over to city
or village treasurers all tuxes received from
such cities or villages , together with all
money collected from the dog tax , for the
use of the general fund.
The same committee recommended the
passage of senate file No. 107 , by Darner ,
providing for a line of $100 for selling liquor
on Sunday.
The committee on highways , bridges and
ferries recommended the passage of senate
fllo No. 135. This is Corrcll's bill providing
for the improvement of Nebraska roads.
The committee on labor recommended the
passage of its substitute for Lobeek's bill ,
No. 43 , providing for a state board of arbi
tration.
Antl-Pus Resolution Sat Upon.
Senator Harris called up his anti-pass res-
olutlon nnd Insisted upon Its consideration ,
Ho offered the resolution early in the session
but on motion of Eggleston Its consideration
was postiKmed for over a month , It being
made n special order for February 25 , On
that day the author could not bo present and
nt his earnest solicitation it was made a
special order for yesterday at 2 o'clock p. m ,
The senate was not in session yesterday after
noon , however , nnd Mr. Harris presumed
that when the senate mot this morning II
would commence where It loft off yesterday
forenoon. Ho reckoned without his host , HE
Senator Toff t raised the point of order thai
nbt having been considered yesterday after
noon the resolution could not bo taken up
today.
The lieutenant governor hold that accord
ing to parliamentary usage the resolution
had lost Its place.
A resolution was offered asking- congress
to provide for u geological survey of the
state.

Not Properly Sujtfjeatcd.
Senator Campbell Introduced a resolution
directing the senate to draw vouchers for
io payment of the expenses In the Douglas
ind Clay county contests. The following
[ lartlcs wcro entitled to the amounts set op-
toslto their names under the provision of the
resolution : C. O. Lobeck , $300 : C. II. Clarke ,
'JOOj Max Meyer , 100 ; J. C. Brennan , $300 ;
j. L. Johnson , &WO ; S. W. Christy , f300 ; It.
M. Waring , stenographer , $ ! i > 1.10.
The lieutenant governor hold that inas-
uuch as the resolution contained an appro
riation It could not properly originate in
the somite. Ho therefore ruled it out of
order , but suggested that the matter could
be attached to the general appropriation bill
as an amendment.
Short IlTcrutlra Session ,
The senate went into executive session Im-
nedlately after reassembling at 3 o'clock to
consider executive appointments. When the
Jeers were opened the senate went Into
committee of tlio whole for the considera
tion of the bills on general filo. Senate
file No. 112 was , after a very brief discus
sion ) recommended for passage. The bill
was introduced by Moore nnd provides for
the Incorporation of universities under cur
tain circumstances. It is intended primal lj
to benefit the Christian college nt Lincoln.
Senate file No. 120 , by Harris , to prevent
voting by parties who have bartered , or
promised their votes In lieu of a considera
tion , was Indefinitely postponed.
Precipitated u Ho\v.
The warmest discussion of the afternoon
came up over senate file 83 , Dale's bill to
[ trovent the giving or receiving of free trans-
portion over Nebraska railroads. The bill
was so amended as to prohibit shippers of
Hvo stock from receiving passes , but th
committee rose before taking any decislv
action. A motion to indefinitely postpon
was not agreed to. Neither w.is a motion to
recommend the bill for passage , nor a mo
tion to strike out the enacting clause , and
the committee rose in some confusion , while
Senator North took refuge in the cloak room
to escape the indignation of the author of the
bill.
bill.Another
Another communication was received from
the governor , nnd the senate again went
Into executive session and listened to the
Appointment of J. B. Simpson to bo steward
ol State Insane asylum tit Norfolk. The ap-
ralntment was referred to the regular stand-
ng committee , and the senate took a recess
until 7:15 : this evening.
The Boyd was filled to tha limit of both its
standing and seating' capacity last evening ,
and the audience was representative of the
ity's beauty and brains. The Nordica con
cert was an unqualified success. The pro
gram was a trying one , each number calling
for the highest artistic attainments In con-
: eption and expression. It contained only
the works of the recognised masters , and
most of the numbers were the masterpieces
of these masters. It was catholic too
Meyerbeer and Bizott , Kossinl and Am-
brolso Thomas , Gounod and Mascagni. The
sudden sickness of Mr. Fischer caused some
changes in the published program.
Liszt's Uhapsodio Ilongroiso , No. 0 ,
with Mr. Luckstono at the piano
as interpreter , opened the program.
In response to encore Mr. Luckstono played
a quite clover gavotte of his own composi
tion. Miss Louise Engel sang Tito Mattel's
Patria " and then world-famous
, the - con
tralto , Mmo. Scaluhl , made her first appearance -
anco before an Omaha audience. Ho was
quite a critic , who , six or seven years ago.
after listening to Scale-Ill's rendering of the
Flower song from Faust , said her delivery
was like unto a dialogue between an oboe
nnd u trombone. But Mme. Scalchl's dual
voice is very effective , and last evening
her audience evidently could not have
too much of it. Her first number was the
Nobil Signer" from "Les Huguenots , " nnd
In response to the encore she sung the gavotte
votto from "Mignon" with a breezy chic
that was captivating. Then came Del
Pucnto , the perennial , and his rendering of
Figaro's song was beautiful.
Mmo. Nordica lias proven herself an artist
of the very highest rank among sopranos.
She sang the famous polacca from "Mignon"
with a grace and power bojond praise , and
when the audience demanded more she gave
a dainty little song , ' 'When Love Is Kind , "
the work of a young lady in England , which
carried the hearers away , and for the third
time the prlma donna had to respond , and
this time she molted the hearts of nil with
an unspeakably exquisite rendering of
" "Way Down do Swaneo Hlber. "
Campanini's great voice has been touched
by inoxornblo Time , but his singing of
Toati's "Vorrol Moriro" gained an encoro.
Then Del Pucnto sang the "Toreador" song
from "Carmen" with fine spirit. Mmo.
Scalchl sang two of Gounod's nrlas. and the
first part of the program was closed with n
rendering of the dramatic quartet from
Verdi's "Higolotto. "
Mascagni'H "Cavallcrla Ilustlcana" filled
the second part , sung in concert term and
Mmo. Nordica , Mmo. Scalchl , Campanlul
and Del Puento Interpreted the parts admir
ably , bringing to a close a concert of the
works of master composers interpreted by
master artists.

NBW OIILBASS , Li , March 1. [ Special
Telegram to Tun Bnn. ] Tommy Kyan is re
ceiving such an excoriation hero this morn
ing as a fighter never received
before , and the unfortunate accident
which has caused his meeting
with Dawson tonight to bo called
off has had n most derogatory effect upon the
entire carnival nnd there Is no end of un
favorable comment. The fact that Kyan
had once before disappointed n largo
gathering of sporting men In
this city his tonsilltis ilunk of
n year ago goes greatly to his discredit ,
and hundreds this morning emphatically as
sert that ho is shamming , and too chickenhearted -
hearted to meet the plucky Australian.
This Is all wrong , however. Hyan's ankle
is four times Its normal size ,
and while ho Is nblo to
stand , ho cannot and Is confined to his bed.
Ho has taken on twelve pounds slnco the
accident befell him and now weighs 153
pounds. Although the club hns announced
that the fight has only been postponed until
March ! ) , this Is only to allay the discontent
and excitement among the visitors here , for
the match will not como off , then'or nt any
qther time. Hyan is helpless this morning
and three prominent physicians are In con
stant itittcndnnco upon him , and everything
Is being done to square him with the people
that can bo done. Even should ho bo gotten
into condition to resume training by Sunday
next , It would bo a physical impossibility for
him to again got down to weight
by the Oth , and the boy's friends might as
well make up their minds that ho is dele
gated with the outside class from this on , so
far as the Now Orleans clubs nro concerned.
\Vnnt AH the StulV.
Louis Houseman told mo a few minutes
ago that It was not In Hyan's sparring bout
with Henry Baker Sunday that ho received
his injury , but while making n sprint Mon
day morning along the shell road. Mr.
Iiumpnreys , Dawson's backer , and Dawson
himself came In from Bay St. Louis this
morning. They will be at the Olympic club
at noon when D.iwson will present himself to
bo weighed in , after which formality
Humphreys will claim the $ TiOO forfeit posted
bv Houseman for Kyan's appearance at this
time. Houseman declares that ho will
not give up the money , and has
already enjoined the club from paying it
over , but as Humphreys' claim Is perfectly
legitimate ho will doubtless surrender in
good time. Humphreys is the man who for-
leitcd the $1,000 to Hyan a year ago ,
This sum ho and Houseman had up
as a clincher for a $5,000 , side bet , and as the
California ! ! failed to como to time at Iti
o'clock on the day of the expected fight he
forfeited gracefully , President Noel hand
ing the money over to the Chicago
sporting editor. Immediately after this
transaction , so Humphreys claims , Tommy
was seized with a violent attack of tonsilitis
and the fight was declared off.
"
Dawson" has quietly acquiesced in the
inevitable , but his backer and Immediate fol
lowers are very wrathy. Billy Madden was
Incl.ned to sneer nt the Chicago lighter
though ho had not much to siy.
"Goddard , " said' he , ' 'would mover have
stopped for a little thing like that and it
looks to me as though there were very slim
chances of over bringing off this fight- be
cause this man Uyan will hardly bo ready
to meet Dawson by the Oth of March even
should the backers of Dawsrtn consent to
have the match postponed until March 0 , for
If ho is telling the truth and really
has a sprained ankle it Is not
probable that it will bo so far restored as to
enable him to fight by that time ; while if ho
is only afraid to meet Dawson , ho will not
feel any braver a week henco. "
Joe Uoddnrd'a Forecast.
Goddard Is making n prediction ns to the
general result of the coming contests , which
may provosinteresting in the light of after
developments. First of all , ho says with
confident modesty that ho will nimsolf win ,
and as the wish Is father to the
thought ho naturally predicts the suc
cess of his fellow countryman and
running mate , Dawson. Gibbons , he says ,
will win. He also predicts the success of
Fitzsimmons , though ho says the Fitzslm-
mons-Hall contest will bo n great fight. God-
dard was present when Hall and Fitzsimmons
fought In Australia and Goddard * ays
that Fitzsimmons' account of this much
talked of affair is true. In the Corbott-
Mltchell fight Goddard says the Englishman
will bo defeated. After the fight with
Smith , If Goddard whips Smith , ho
will seek a fight with Corbott
nnd will do everything in his
l > ewer to sustain It. Of Sullivan's threat to
whip him on sight , ho says that so far as n
street brawl Is concerned , hq wlllcglvo that
no moro attention than it deserves , but
if Sullivan desires u regulation sot
to ho ( Goddard ) will fight him anywhere ,
any time , under any circumstances , for $10
up , and Goddard talks and nets like ho
meant business.
Ono Moro ICntrrtalnmcnt.
The Crescent City club has decided to add
another event to Its series of puglllstloattrac-
tions besides the Hnll-Fitzsitnmons fight on
the night of the 8th , and the Daly-Gibbons
contest on the 7th of March. The club has
determined on giving a preliminary bout be
tween Solly Smith and n well known bantam
from the cast , whoso name as yet has not
been announced.
There is no use biding tlio fact that , in
comparison with last September , tno
crowd In attendance here , today
amounts to llttlo more than n
handful. Of course there Is an army of the
' fancy" hero , but n notable nbscnco of tlio
representative throngs that gravitatc'd hero
six months ago. It turns out that tha bulk
of the strangers hero Monday were
delegates to a planters ijQnvcntion.
Still there is a largo number of
northern and eastern visitors here , -and
while the prospects for the clubs pulling out
ahead are exceedingly slim there is a
chance for them to at least break even.
I.nyout tor Tonight.
There Is to bo a varied program In the
Olympic's arena tomorrow night , both box
ing and wrestling. As a proludatory at
traction , Billy McMillan of Washington , D.
C. , nnd Billy Hlnes of Providence , H. I. ,
welterweights , will battle to a finish for a
$1,000 , purse. While the event Is apt to bean
an Interesting ono , there Is llttlo speculation
on the result , as the men nro fifth-raters
and almost , entirely unknown , if McMillan
did give Tommy Hyan the worst punch ho
ever received. McMillan has had u moro
extensive ring experience , but what nines
lacks In this respect ho makes up In stockl-
ucss and determination. He is fairly clever ,
and should win.
Immediately following the fight comes a
gladiatorial struggle for the supremacy of
wrestling in Griuco-Itoman and catcli-as-
cateh-can styles , between Ernst Koeber ; the
German Hercules of Now York , nnd Evan
Lewis of Barnoyvillo. WJs. It promises to boone
ono of the most thrilling combata of modern
times. According to the nrrangment the
rival giants nro to wrestle , besj thrco
In five fulls , two falls to catch-as
catch-can , and two fulls Gncco-Roman
Should the struggle remain undecided after
these four falls , tha decisive bout la to bo

time than Lewis , and catch-as-catuh-can i
Lewis throws his man in the briefest time
The match Is for a $3,000 purse , * 500 to go to
the loser.
Parson Davies is Lewis' backer nnd man
agorahd will act as his time-keener and
general counsellor , while Billy MuldooJi , the
old champion , will esquire Uoobor , giving
him valuable advice as well as holding the
ticker. It is expected to DO a great struggle

I.lilit .
The city council met In adjourned session
ast night for the purpose of clearing tlio
leeks of nil business left over from Tuesday
light.
When the llnnl grading ordinances came up
Tor passage they wore all disposed of by
jclng laid over until the legislature hns taken
ilual action upon the charter amendments.
The communication from the Crane Elevn-
company , asking when the lifts wcro to bo
paid for , was placed in the files There was
a committee report which conveyed the In
formation that payment would bo made
when the work of putting the elevators in
iroper shape was performed. Mr. Wheeler
stated that the elevators were still in bad
order nnd that the beams were in such eon-
lltlon that there was danger that eventually
the machinery would injure the walls of the
city hall building.
Taking up the gasoline lighting bid of the
Sun Vapor company , the council decided
: hat If the company did not sign Its contract
nnd comply with the terms of its proposition
the $200 check would be declared forfeited
nnd the money turned into the city treasury.
The bill of the Barbel- Asphalt company ,
imountlng to f 10,515.71 , for repairing the

cover nnd include all streets and alleys to be
graded and paved this season.
An ordinance providing for the placing of
forty-four 2,000 candle power arc lights at
that many railway and street intersections
within the city limits , was read twice and
referred. The ordinance provides that
; ho different railway companies shall pay
the rental for all lights placed at the Inter
sections along their respective lines.
By resolution the finance committee was
instructed to meet witty the members of the
Board of County Commissioners with a
view to settling the it-counts between the

MISSION SERVICES.
History of tlio Song of Solomon anil Its
As the Episcopal mission draws toward
its close the interest seems to bo deepening ,
and on all sides regrets nro heard that the
missionor's stay Is to bo so short.
At the morning service yesterday the sub
ject of sacrifice was again considered in
which it was shown that the holy commun
ion had In it all the elements of the sacri
fices of the ancient Jewish worship.
At noon the largo room in the Now York
Life building was well filled , and again Mr.
Crapsoy held the men In close atten
tion by his earnest eloquence. Ho
took for his subject the fact
that men assort that Christianity will
not work nowadays , and showed the fallacy
of this idea , Mr. Crapsoy Is always at his
best at these noon services , and as Saturday
will bo the last day those who have not
heard this preacher , of whom Kev. Dr. Mor
gan Dlx of Now York City said that ho was
the most clofuent | preacher in the city , had
better do so nt once.
The subject nt the service for women at 4
p. in , was "Tho Duties of the Housekeeper , "
the address on which was brimful of good
advice and happy illustration.
At the evening servlco the cathedral was
again full. Tlio text taken was from the
Song of Solomon , chapter II. , verso 10 : ' 'My
beloved Is mine , nnd I am his , " from which
was preached a most-powerful sermon on the
love of God to the soul , and the Jove of the
soul to God , -jj i < < t
The mlssionor bcKaji by explaining how
this Song of , Solotnuni originated. Solomon
had been on a Jouraai to Shulnm , when ho
saw a beautiful shepherdess. On his return
homo ho sent for her and had her arrayed in
royal robes and brtftfeht into his magnifi
cent chamber with It roof of azure , Its walls
of gold , its couth of Ivory and Us
lloors of tapeatia' . and then asked
her to become one of his wives. She had
already plighted hec-troth to a shepherd in
Shulam and iioralstmily refused to become
Solomon's wife. AMlast she made her
escape from the paj&o and went hunting
around the streets qj Jerusalem for her
lover , who had followed her. Solomon , then
seeing that she was fully -determined to
stand by her first ffiffii Jent her home , nnd
then wrote his bcaatfflpil song.
The preacher theSjowed how God loves
man , and In one of tn < rflnost sermons ho haa
yet preached ho exhorted his hearers to a
more earnest love Sot < 3od. As usual the
meditation at the cud of the sermon was one
magnificent collection of word pictures , cov
ering what had been said in the sermon.
Mr. Crapsey issued the following cnll last
"In'tho name of God , amen. The mis.
sloner calls all who have been Interested and
helped by the mission to meet him nt the
cathedral on Sunday morning next at
o'clock , communicants to worship and ro >
celvo , noncommunlcants to worship nnd prepare -
pare for reception. Lot the clergy como nnd
bring their pecifio. The mlssioucr calls the
children to meet him Ju the cathedral at
o'clock In the afternoon. He calls the mcti
to meet him In the Young Men's Christian
association rooms at 4 o'clock. The women
ho calls to meet him at the cathedral at t
o'clock. And all the men , women nud chit
dren to meet hlrn for the closing service Ir
the cathedral at 8 o'clock. J ot all come and
cry to the Lord for a blessing. "

IT IS A MODEST AND TOUCHING APPEAL
Itnr night * iin llprm | to the Thrnno of
Huhriill llrlflly Set Korth llrr ( lunr-
dlun , Mr. Durlrn , Miikcs n
Lengthy HtutMiirnt.
NEW YOUK , March 1. Princess Kntulanl ,
nlcco of the deposed Queen Llliuokalanl of
Hawaii , Is hero. She arrived today on Iho
steamer Teutonic , which sailed from Liver
pool February 23. With her were Theoph-
oils D.ivles nnd Mrs. D.ivles , who nro
the English guardians of the princess ;
Miss Da vies and Miss Whartoff , companions
to the princess.
'E. C. MeFarlnnd , the ex-minister of
finance to the dethroned queen , nnd Dr.
Mott Smith , the present Hnwalln minister
to this country , went down the bay on the
revenue cutter Chandler to meet the young
princess. They boarded the ship Imme
diately after she left the health oflleor's
boarding station. There was quite an army
of curiosity seekers on the pier to got n
glimpse at the princess. A suite of
rooms had been engaged for the party at the
Brovoort house and they wcro driven there
Immediately after coming off the steamship.
The princess Is 18 years old. She Is a tall ,
beautiful young woman , with a sweet face
and slender figure. She has the soft brown
eyes and dark complexion that marie Ha
waiian beauty. She had como to the United
States , she said , moro for the purpose of
learning and observing for herself the na
ture of the people who had been asked to
take control of her country than to make
formal'petitlon for her crown.
"That , " she said , "is rightfully mine , nnd
If tha Americans are the noble minded people
ple I have learned to reg.ird them as , they
will not bo a party to the outrage by which I
have lost my birthright. "
In regard to her views on the various as
pects whlcti the Hawaiian government is
ilkoly to assume , Princess ICaiulunl referred
to her guardian , Mr. IXivles , who had pre
pared a statement both on his own and her
behalf.
Princes * Kiilulanl'it Apiienl.
The statement of Princess Kalulanl is as
follows :
To THK AMKIUCAN PEOI-W : : Unbidden I
stand upon your shores today , whuro I
thought so .soon to lecelvo a royal welcome
on my way to my own kingdom. 1 ' "oino unat
tended , except by the lot InK hearts that have
come with mo over the wintry HLMIS. 1 hear
that commissioner * from my hind have been
for many duy.i asking t bis great nation to take
away my little vineyard. They Mpcnk no
word to me and lunvu mo to llml out as I can
fiomtho rumors of the air , that th.y would
leave mo without a homo or a name or a na
tion.
Seventy years ago Christian Atnurlc i .sent
ovorUhilsthin men and wome.ii loKlvoicllglon
and civilization to Hawaii. Tneygiivo in the
KOipal , they made us a nation and wo learned
to love and trust America. Today threu of
the sons of these missionaries aio at your
capital asking you to undo their father's
work. Who bent them ? Who nave thorn
authority to hieak thu constitution which
they swoio they would uphold ?
Today , I , a poor we.aU girl , with not ono of
my own people near me , and all these Ha
waiian statesmen aealnst me , have strength
to bland up for the tights of my people. Even
now 1 can hear the wall In my hoatt and It
Klves mo strength and courage , and 1 am
stronc In Iho faith of God ; strong In the
knowledge that I am right ! strong In the
htreiiRth of 70,000,000 of people who , In this
true hind , will hoar my cry and will refuse to
let their Hag cover dishonor lo mine ,
Statement of.Mr. Davlm.
"After the revolution of 188T Mr. Thurston
came into power and enjoyed very generally
the confidence of natives and foreigners. At
that time the Princess Kalaulan ! , heiress pre
sumptive to the the throne , was 11 years of
ago , and it was felt to bo very important
that she should bo sent entirely away from
the .surroundings ami influences of Hawaiian
court life , in order that she might bo trained
in tno quiet homo atmosphere which would
enable her moro fitly to take up her future
position as sovereign.
"Mr. Thurston repeatedly urged that the
young princess should bo sent to England.
With this ooject In view , and in 1880 , when
she was 18 years of age , the plan was carried
out and Princess ICaiaulanl was sent to Eng
land In charge of a lady who was about to
spend a year In Europe and who undertook
to place her at a suitable school , which had
already been selected.
"At the end of the first year the result
was deemed so satisfactory that Kalakaua
was persuaded to consent to n continuance
of the young princess' stay in England , and
as the ludy who had been her chaperon had
to return to Honolulu a request was tnado by
the father of the princess with the written
concurrence of the king and the then Prin
cess Llliuokalani that Mr. Davics and my
self would act as guardians during the prin
cess' stay in England ,
"Princess Kniauluni thus hns been entirely
ns ono of our children and had spent all her
holidays with us. Her ono Idea , and our
ono idea , has been to prepare her for the re
turn to ber own land during the present
year , when she attains her majority. Ono
of the last ac s of the Hawaiian legislature ,
which four of the five commissioners now
at Washington remember , was to vote a
sum of $4,000 for the expenses of the return
tour of the heiress apparent. Arrangements
were In progress for her reception by the
queen of England during the coming spring ,
nnd then she was to make a prolonged visit
nt Washington , New York , Chicago , Boston
and other American cities , finally reaching
Honolulu in October or November for her
coming of ago.
Ilia First News of tlio Kovohitlon.
"When the news reached mo by cable of
the revolution In Hawaii I wrote to the min
ister , pointing out what appeared to mo to
bo the grave difficulties In the way of the
carrying out by the commissioners of the
proposal for annexation.
"I stated that in my opinion no amount of
reasoning and no amount of bribery would
over gain the pure Hawaiian vote and that
without that vote annexation could neither
bo completed nor carried out hereafter. I
then urged that u convention of all classes of
voters should bo called , a carefully revised
constitution presented to them , that the
queen should bo requested to abdicate nnd
that the Princess ICaiulanl should bo pro
claimed queen , with a council or regency , of
which I suggested that Mr. Dole , now head
of the provisional government. , should bo
president.
"February 14 I received this cablegram
from Washington : 'Islands transferred ;
princess provided for. '
"Whether this cablegram was to bo con
sidered an ofllcial communication I did not
know , but It is the only communication that
has reached tno , and absolutely none has
reached the princess. The most striking
fact of this cablegram , next to its apparent
hcartlessness. is the fact that Its accuracy
is not confirmed by any telegrams that have
been published in England. Why It was
sent , or who sent it. I do not know , but ns
loyal guardians nnd faithful friends , there
was only ono thing for us to do ; to stand
hero bcsldo the princess in the presence of
those representatives of Hawaii who would
transfer her birthright without the civilly ,
the humanity of one word to her In explana
tion , or oven of sympathy.
"Wo como hero with no official status nnd
with no ofllcial Information , but with the
conviction that the government nnd people of
the United States will not lend their counte
nance to 110 disinheritance , for no fault
alleged against her or her nation , of a royal
lady who has , with singular grace and cour
age , endeavored to lit herself for her high
station nnd has shrunk from neither duty
nor sacrifice in the effort.
Sympathized with the Cnmmls lunera.
"I feel a gopd deal of sympathy for the
commissioners , who must find themselves In
a position of great embarrassment. Several
of them were concerned In the preparation
of the Hawaiian constitution of 1887 , which
they compelled iho king to accept , and
since to maintain. At least four of the com
missioners have taken the oath to the same
constitution and It has been adopted by the
nation. When Llliuokalanl ascended the
throne she took the usual oath , and by that
constitution Princess ICaiulanl was pro
claimed heiress to the throne. The queen
appears to hao violated her constitutional
oath and to have laid herself open to depo >
sltion , but that cannot effect the constitu
tion Itself , nor Iho oaths which the rommls
sloner * took There li no pretense that Iho
Hawnll.m electorate over knew of the revo
lution nt the datq of the commissioners' departure
partureon their present imNMon , and It i.t
dinicult to see how they can so sufficiently
define their present position as to enable
them to write to the heiress apparent and
announce to her the clreumstnnces of their
arrival.
"I do not for n moment bcllnvo that any of
them would bo guilty of Intentional cruelty ,
or oven discourtesy to the princess , and the
Inconceivable tre.itmcnt which their sll-nce
toward her has betrayed them Into must
arise from the difficulty they find In recon
ciling their present ntlltudo with the knowl
edge that thelroath to sustain the Hawaiian
constitution binds them to the succession of
the heiress , unless the nation Itsalf releases
them from that oath. "
MCUK Tlntt Plcuned the Party.
Mr. Davics was delighted to learn that the
question of the annexation of Hawaii had
taken a turn In the senate , * and that practi
cally it was laid over for the consideration of
the next administration ,
" \Vo do not mean to get a hearing with
President Cleveland In any oltlelal capacity , "
said ho , "but simply as private Individuals.
What his decision will bo will scarcely bo
affected by our visit. Tlio princess felt that
in view of the threatened annexation of
Hawaii by tlio United States she oiiRht to
come hero where she could learn directly
what was the true sentiment of the people.
I will remain In New York until Friday ,
then wo will go to Boston , where wo will re
main until after March 4 ; from there wo will
proceed to Washington , where wo expect to
see Mr. Cleveland.1

Mackay's condition was not so favorable
today. The doctors decided that the wound
was healing too r.ipldly , so It was reopened.
There was found in the wound the begin
ning of a pus sack , which might have caused
mood poisoning , If undisturbed. The object
of reopening the wound was to allow It to

Will euro You , Is n true statement of the
action of AYEU'S Sarsaparilla , when
taken for diseases originating in Impure
blood ; but , while this assertion la true of
AVER'S Sarsapnrilla , as thousands can
attest , it cannot bo truthfully applied to
other preparations , which unprincipled
dealers will recommend , and try to im
pose upon you , ns "just as good as
Ayer's. " Take Aycr's Sarsaparilla and
Aycr's only , If you need a blood-purifier
and would bo benefited permanently.
Tills medicine , for nearly fllty years ,
has enjoyed a reputation , and inado a
record for cures , that has never been
equaled by other preparations. AYEH'S
Sarsaparilla eradicates the taint of he
reditary scrofula and other blood dis
eases from the system , and It lias , deser
vedly , the confidence of the people.

"I cannot forbear to express ray Joy nt
tlio relief I liavo obtained from tlio use
of AYER'S Sarsraparllln. I was aflllctcil
with kidney troubles for about six
months , suffering greatly with p.ilns In
the small of my buck. In Addition to
this , rny body was covered with pimply
eruptions. The remedies prescribed
failed to help me , I then began to take
AYER'S Sarsaparilla , and , In a abort
time , the pains ceased and the pimples
disappeared. I ad vise every young man

Ing' from Impure blood , no matter how
long standing the case may be , to take
AYER'S Sarsaparilla. " H. L. Jarrnann ,
