OPPOSITION INCREASING
The Annexation of Hawaii is
 Being Delayed.


tOnic-WnI Appeal to tue New Presi- dent-Neumann in Favor of an American ProTectorate.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 23--Every day op position to the Hawaiian annexation treaty appears to grow stronger. Sena- tor Allison, of Iowa, now expresses an tugonism to ratification.
 As chairman of the Appropr iations committee, Senator Allison can do more to defeat the treaty than any other Sena- tor on tue floor, since he can at any time bring up an appropriation bill, which has the right of way.
 By judiciously consuming time with these bills the friends of the treaty can be prevented from any opportunity of considering it before March i, and it is charged by some of the more impatient friends of annexation that the remarka- ble Celay ill passing the Sundry Civi Appropriation bill in the Senate was mainly caused by the opposition to the treaty.
 Only nine days of the session are left and the only hope of getting the treaty through IS by rushing the appropriation bills. Ii, however, the treaty should not be teu before March 1, it will come
 
 which will be summoned to confirm the new Cabinet and such other nominations as MT. Cleveland may make. It is difficult to fOretell it's fate under the new administration. Mir. Cleveland has been quoted as favOring annexation, but now he has become more wary and is expressing no opinion on the subject. The commissioners themselves now be- licve the treaty will not be ratified before March 1, and that MT. Cleveland may not encourage its ratification When he comes into power
 The White Star liner Teutonic, which sailed from Liverpool yesterday bound for New York, has on board the eX- Princess kaiulani, accompanied by her English guardian, with whom she has been living at Southport.
 The Princess is following out her plan as outlined in her lately published appeal | to the American people.
 Shortly before she set sail a newspaper 1 correspondent had long talk with her | concerning Hawaiian affairs and her l contemplated visit to America. She treated him with great respect, al l though she showed some uneasiness dur | ing the interview.
 She said that she had nothing to add l 10 the appeal which she had addressedr to the American people, and she eX- | pressed her thanks that her appeal had | been forwarded to the American news | papers. She had, she said, no definite l plans. but would be guided by her 1 gu urdian, Mir. Davies.
 l SLe proposed to spend two days in l New York and then visit Boston, where l she would remain until after the in l auguration of President Cleveland. | Then she would go to Washington, and would probably make personal appeal l to Mr. Cleveland.
 The Princess added that she had no friends ill America, except the friends of Mir. Davies. She timidly expressed a nope that she might gain the sympathy ! of the American people.
 II cannot sce," she continued in a 1 modest, hesitating tone, 'why should i be summarily deprived of recognized legal | rights for no fault of mine, and without being even notified to appear in defence of my rights. l ask only that right of l appearance which American law gives to everybody before they are deprived of d right. 1 kuow absolutely nothing about l this affair except what has been in the | newspapers. No notification has been re ceived by me regarding it."
 | In answer to other questions, the Prin- cess said that she was entirely opposed to the policy of the Queen, especially in re- gard to the bills which the Queen is re- ported to have signed, and which gave rise to offensc. The Princess said that she did not want Hawaii to be under Il protectorate of any sort. She wished Hawaii to be independents She believes that America and Hawaii should be warn | friends. She had never seen an EnSllSE official and did not believe that England would interfere in Hawaiian affairs. | The Princess said that she favored the proposition male by MT. Davies to the Nf I,f
 regency should be appointed for three years with G. II. Dole, the head of the Provisional Government as President, tht Princess to be crowned Queen of Hawai- | at the termination of the regency.
 It was apparent to the correspondent that the Princess fears he case to be hopeless, and that tn ! American Government is determined upon annexation. It was also evident l of her guardian.
 The Princess Kaiulani is tall anC
 slender, and with a more thoughtful, de l liberate air than might be expected in
 school girl. She is a brunette, with tn | eyes of a gazelle, and features that sug-
 sest just q suspicion of Kanaka origin | She was somewhat nervous during tn, | i'll terview.
 | Neumaun Wants PrOtectorate.
 Secretary of State Foster hos sent t the chairman of the Committee on For eign Relations, for the information of tn Senate the statement which Paul Neu mann left at the department esterday and accompanied it with a report of tn ] interview held with the Secretary. Fror | the latter it appears that the object 0 | Mr. Neumann's visit to Washington is t secure the restoration of Queen Lili uoka lani to the throne under an Am erica l protectorate.
