OPPOSITION INCREASING
The Annexation Of Hawaii Is
Being Delayed.
ON HER WAY HERE

She Left England Yesterday on the Tou-
tonio-Wul Appeal to tue New Presi-
dcnt-Noumnnn in Favor of an American
Protectornre.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23--Eyery day op
position to the Hawaiian annexation
treaty appears to grow stronger. Sena-
Tor Allison, Of Iowa, now expresses an
tagouism to ratification.
AS chairman of the Appropr iations
committee, Senator Allison can do more
to defeat the treaty than any other Sena-
tor on the door, 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 4, and it is
| charged by some Of the more impatient
friends Of annexation that the remarla-
ble delay in 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 ratified before March 4, it will come
up at the extra session Of the Senate,
| which will be summoned to confirm the
new Cabinet and such other nominations
as Mr.. Cleveland may make
1T is difficult to foretell its fate under
the new administration. Mr. 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-
| lieve the treaty will not be ratified
| before March 4, and that Mr. 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 newspaper
correspondent had long talk with her
concerning Hawaiian affairs and her
contemplated visit to America.
She treated him with great respect, al
| though she showed some uneasiness dur
| ing the interview.
She said that she had nothing to add
TO the appeal which she had addressed
| 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
| plans. but would be guided by her
| guardian, Mr.. Davies.
Sic proposed to spend two days in
| New York and then visit Boston, where
she would remain until after the in
auguratiou of President Cleveland,
Then she would go to Washington, and
would probably make personal appeal
! to Mr. Cleveland.
The Princess added that she had no
friends in America, except the friends Of
! Mr. Davies. She timIuly expressed a
hope chat sine might gain the sympathy
oil the American people.
Il cannot see, she continued in a
/ modest hesitaJiug tone, ''why / should
be summauly deprived OF recognized legal
! rights for no fault Of mine, and without
being even notified 70 appear in defence
| OF my rights L ask only chat righJ Of
| appearance which American law gives to
! everybody before they are deprived of u
| right. L know absolutely nothing about
this affair eycept what has been in the
newspapers. No notification has been re-
ceiyed by me regarding it,"
In answer to other questions, the Prin-
cess said chat she was entirely opposed to
the policy OF the Queen, especially in re-
gard TO the bills which the Queen is re-
purted to have signed. and which gave
rise to otleuse, The Princess said that
she did not want Hawaii to be under "A
! prOtectOrate Of any sort. She wished
Hawaii TO be independent. She believes
that America and Hawaii should be warm
friends. She had never seen an English
official, and did not believe that England
would interfere in Hawaiian affairs.
The Princess said that she favored the
proposition made by Mr.. Davies to the
Provisional Government OF lawaii that q
regency should be appointed for three
years with u. ii. Dole, the mead Of the
