Princess .Kaiaulani is tall and slender,
with a more thoughtful deliberate air
than might be expected in a school girl
She is brunette, with eyes of a gazelle
and features that suggest a suspicion of
Kanaka origin. She was somewhat
nervous during the interview. She said
she had nothing to add to the appeal
which she bad addressed to the Ameri-
can people, and she expressed her
thanks that her appeal had been for
warded to the American newspapers.
She had, she said, no definite plans,

no friends in America except the friends
of Davies. She timidly expressed the
hope that she might gain the sympathy

win Result in a Rate War.

SAN FRANc1sco, Feb. pa Chicago
special says: Unless some of the best
informed passenger officials in Chicago
are, at fault, the railroads both east
and west are digging pits for themselves
in the making of the worlds fair rates.
The reasoning of these lofficials is that
the eastern lines have attempted to do
too much andithe western lines too little.
The eastern lines have practically agreed
to maintain the present rates during the
fair. A decrease of 20 per cent in fares
on the slowest trains is of no value.
Passenger officials quoted do not believe
the eastern lines or any lines can main
tain a higher round-trip rate than a fare
and half during the worlds fair The
western lines, on the contrary, have put
off consideration. of the worlds fair rates
until ID is probably too late 10 take
united action.
