hotei reSisttr toudN was Wrltten tne name OF a
young princess, who is here in Washington to
advocate her claims to the throne Of
Hawaii. Educated and raised from early
youth with the idea that some day
she would sit upon the throne in the palace at
Honolulu, Princess Kaiulani now finds that
during her absence in England things have
changed and there is no throne in sight.
Princess kaiulani who arrived in New York
last week with her party from England
as passengers on board the Teutonic,
has spent the seven days that she has been
in this country in New York and Boston.
She left the latter city for Wash ngton last
evening and arrived here at noon today. The
train was due at 1912. but was behind time. so
that it was few minutes after IL O'Clock when
the first II the carriages bringing the party
drove up - the ladies' entrance Of the Airing

In the carriage was seated the princess her

II. Davies and Miss Davies, the English family
with whom the princess has made her home IN

vate secretary and a French maid. Upon their
arrival they were shown at once to the apart
ments which had been prepared for them. They
are on the second floor of the hotel in the
southeast corner. overlooking Vermont avenue.
and are the same rooms used by Sarah Bern
hardt on her last visit to this CITY, They are
handsome apartments, upholstered in dark
green.
Waiting at the door Of the hotel upon their
arrival was Prince David Kawanauoa, between
whom and the princess there is said to exist a
feeling even stronger than that of friendship.
HOW THE PRINCESS LOOKS.
The princess does not look unlike a hundred
other young ladies who can be met any day in
Boston or anywhere else in cultivated circles
She wears eyeglasses and pair of bright ewes
snap behind them. She is about the medium
height, has a slight girlish figure and a very
pleasing and intelligent face. She is just about
as unlike her distinguished aunt, ex-Queen
Liliuokalani. as ii is possible for two persons to
be. Her skin is only slightly tinged with olive
| and if a person were not told il is not at all
likely that she would be taken for a foreigner
| at all.
Her travelling dress was Of dark blue cloth
made as neat and as trig possible, with a
stylish jacket and q wide-brimmed felt hat,
trimmed with black ostrich tips. An ostrich
feather boa made a ecoming finish TO her
toilet, which was heightened by another made
Of real roses that formed part OF the floral well
come extended to her.
The princess is a stylish and attractive young
lady. She has brought plenty more good
that quite large part of the thirteen trunks
and eight bags and other pieces of the luggage
which followed the arrival of the distinguished
party were marked V. X.
WELCOMED By PRINCE DAVID.
Prince David the very first to extend a
welcome to the princess. He met her in the
hall. She greeted him very politely, but
seemed rather reserved. just any young
lady would who had been educated
in foreign land and was
presence of her elders. Mr.. and Mrs. Davies
also greeted Prince David pleasantly and looked
as if they were perfectly willing that the young
people should have something OF . talk The
prince. however, after watching the elevator
ascend, crossed the hotel and took the other
elevator to his own apartments.
The prince and princess are royal lovers.
That is they were expected TO be, and if the
course of royal love had gone smoothly with
other royal affairs i'm Hawaii the prince was per-
fectly willing to carry out his part of the con-
tract and become the husband of the princess
When they met in New York lately the prin-
cess showed no enthusiasm about meeting the
prince and would only give him fve-minuts
interview.
INTERVIEWED BIZ A STAR REPORTER
Shortly after their arrival at the hotel a STAR
reporter sent up his card and was granted an
audience with Mr.. Davies, the guardian of the
princess. The ladies Of the party begged to be
excused from seeing any one as they were too

Mr.. Davies is a typical Englishman of middle
age, we'll dressed and of rather imposing
figure. In conversation with The STAR re.
porter he said he had no idea how long thew
would remain in Washington. 1t would
depend altogether on the reception
granted them here. ''Our position he said
lis rather an anomalous one We have no OIL
cial status, and am at something of loss
to see how best to 60 about the matter that
has called us here. Our aim is TO present
the position Of the princess to the
American people and TO ask that she be treated
with the fairness that characterizes Americans.
We feel that an injustice is being done 20 her
in depriving her of the throne which properly
belongs to her and for which she has
been SO carefully educated and trained
abroad We do not think she has been treated
with proper courtesy by the Hawaiian COM
missioners here. She has been educated in q
quiet and thorough manner. She has lived a
retired ana unassuming life with us and has
seen no more Of royalty nor Of the
world than has my own daughter. The whole
matter 10 simply one Of right and wrong. We
have come with the idea OF giving the
people OF the United States . clearsr under

possible e they hsten only to the words Of
the Hawaiian commissioner. have - much
right to speak for Hawaii - any Of thoes gentle
men, for OWN one Of the plantations there and
