lin regard to her views on the various
aspects the Hawaiian governments is
likely to assume, Princess Kuiuiaui re-
ierred TO her guardian Mr. Davies, who
had prepared statement both on his own
and her behalf.
The statement of Princess Kaiulani is
as follows:
"To THE AMERICAN PEOPLE-Uuhidden
! stand upon your shores to-day, where
/ Thought so soon to receive "a royal wei

hearts that have come with me over the

the rumors Of the air that they would

Seventy years ago Christian America

They gave us the Gospel, they na-e US a

Mr.. Davies read this appeal OF Kaiu-
lani, and the reading was masterpiece.

with each infection like the palms

where she was to be educated. lie told
how he heard Of the overthrow W of Liliuo-
| kalani and wrote TO tue Haw aiian Minis
| ter in this country insisting upon the
rights Of the Princess, but had received
no reply. Ia conclusion Mr. Davies said:
eve come here with no official status
and with no official information, but
with the conviction that the government
and people of the United States will not
! lend their cOuntenance to the uisinherlt-
| auce Of d royal lady who has endeavored
to fit herself for her high position and
| has shrunk from neither duty nor sacri-
fee in the effort.
''When Liliuokalani assembled the
| throne she took the usual oath, and by
| that constitution the Princess halulaui
| was proclaimed heiress to the throne.
! The Queen appears to have violated her
constitutional oath and laid herself open
; TO deposition, but that cannot affect the
/ constitution. "
Mr.. Davies was delighted to learn that
| the question of the annexation of Hawaii
| had taken new turn in the Senate and
that practically it was laid over for the
| consideration OF the next administration.
''We do not mean to get hearing with
| President Cleveland in any official capac-
| ity," Mr Davies said, but simply as
/ private individuals, What his decision
is will scarcely DO affected by our visit.
! The Princess felt that in the face Of the
| threatened annexation OF Hawaii by the
United States, sne ought to come here,
where she could learn directly what was
the true sentiment of the people,
eve will remain in New York until
| tomorrow; then we 20 to Boston, where
/ we viii remain until after March A; nom
| there we proceed to Washington where
| We expect TO see Mr. Cleveland" "
