THE Ex-QUEEN's PROTEST..
Lfliuokals,ni's Kick to President Harri.
son Concerning Her People.

Ltliuokals,nf's Kick to President Harri-
son Concerning Her People.
WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - The docu
meuts laid before the senate on the
Hawaiian question contain the hitherto
unpublished protest Queen Liliue,kal-
AMI sd dressed to President Harrison. In
it she SAYS some of her subjects, aided
by aliens, renounced loyalty and re-
volted sgainst the constitutional gov
ernment of the kingdom. Upon receiv-
ing the pre,of that the United States
minister abetted their unlawful mo ve-
ments and c.,used troops to be landed
for that purpo se, she submitted to 70 rec,
believing he would not have acted that
way unless by authority of the
United States government. This ac-
ton on her part, she sIys,
was prompted by three considerstion ms !:
The futility of q conflict with the I'm tied
States; the desire to avoid viole nee,
bloodshed and destruction of property,
and the certainty she felt that this
government will right whatever wrcmgs
m ay have been done in the premi ses.
This appeal, says the queen, is not made
for herself personally, but for her l,eo-
pie, who hitherto always enjoyed the
friendship and protection of the United
States. The provisional government re-
fused her permission to send by the
only available vessel, the one in wh ich
their ENJOYS sailed, her statements of
the facts, and therefore she was om-
PEELED to wait till about the I'd of Heb
ruary before being able to dispatch her
envoy. She trusts no steps will be
taken by the government of the Uni ted
States until her cause has been hea rd.
This letter is dated Honolulu, Janu ary
18th.

STAMBOUl'S RECORD STANDS,
The Stockton Meeting Declared
Regular.
Speed Trials Conducted on the Fair

McHugh Expelled from the National
Trotting Association and Kearney
and McCloud Suspended by
the Board OF Appeals.

SAN Francisco, Feb. .-Stamboul'f
record stands, McHugh is expelled and
McCloud and Kearney are suspended, is
in beief the finding made today by the
board of appeals for the Pacific district
of the National Trotting association.
The full text of the decision is as fol-
lows:
We find that the meeting held at
Stockton between October Is and Novem.
Der 23, 1892, inclusive, was duly
and regularly advertised to commence
on the 18th and continue as long as the
weather would permit; that there were
two purses hung up by the association
and entries duly made for the record
races; that the races were regularly
adjourned from day to day, and the an
nouncement of the adjournment made
from the judges stand; that notices Of
the races were in the daily
papers; gate money collected at
the gate, the judges regularly installed,
the drivers weighed in and out and the
rules of the National Trotting associa-
ton faithfully observed; that on No
vember 23d, the day on which Stamboul
made record of 2:071S, there was an
adjourned meeting; that the day-gate
money was charged at the gate; Judges
were instslled-two judges-Mr. Coney
and Mr.. Thomson; men Of unquestioned
reliability were selected and acted as
timers; that the race was after 10 am,
and the reported time 2:071s was Justly
and fairly made, and so reported and
announced from the judges stand that
the driver of Stamboul carried the re-
quired weight, and that after the race
no doubt was expressed or objection
made as to the correctness or fairness of
the time.
We find that the Judges book was
eigned by Langford and Parker and by
Larue for Kearney, by authority given
Larue by Kearney, shortly after the
time was announced and before the
parties left the track.
We believe that the effort subsequent
ly made to discredit the time was for a
malicious and dishonest purpose, and
we find the charge not supported by re-
liable evidence, but that parties active
in making the charge are implicated in
a conspiracy. to levy blackmail.
We find that the record of 2:0715
made by Stamboul at Stockton on No
vember 23, 1892, together with all
other records made at Stockton
between October Is, 1892, and No
vember %, 1892. as shown by the
judges books of the San Joaquin Val
tey Agricultural association we're Justly
and fairly made under the rules of the
National Trotting association, and all
sroh- raonrda rnnst atand aa 4---4--'
correct records, and it is 30 ordered.
1t is further ordered that John A. Nc.
Cloud and John s. Kearny be and are
hereby. suspended and that Henry
M. McHugh be and is hereby expelled.
The report is signed by N. I. Smith
and jesse D. Carr, and attested by Frank
Shay, secretary.

The Pension Appropriation Bill Finally
Disposed of.
WARRINGTON, Feb. 17.-In the house
today the senate bill passed extending
to the North Pacific ocean the provis-
ions of the statute for the protection of
fur seals. After two or three bits Of dis
play of temper by different members, as
relic Of yesterdays warfare, the PEN
sion bill was taken up and consideration
completed.
Grout desired to reply to Turpin's re-
marks of yesterday about the pen
sioner stationed at telephone.
He (Grout) had ascertained that this
man was Democrat and among
the names of those who recommended
him for the place was that of Judge
Gresham. The man was an assistant
adjudicating officer. He drew pension
for total deafness of the right ear, but as
the telephone was at the desk of another
officer he occasionally put his ear to it.
[Laughter.l
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the house. After q scene OF
confusion, during which the speaker
appealed to the members to conform to
the rules of the house, the bill passed.
The poBtoffice appropriation bill was
taken up. An amendment was agreed
to increasing the appropriation for the
payment of the salaries OF postoffice
clerks, and without disposing Of the bill
the committee rose and the house ad.
journed.

Representative Cox Has Bill to Repeal
the Sherman Act.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Cox of Ten
nessee, a member of the house banking
and currency committee and an advo-
cate of free coinage, has prepared bill
to repeal the Sherman silver law. The
bill repeals the Sherman law; re-enacts
the Bland law Of 1878, with the proviso
that the legal tender character OF the
notes issued under the Sherman law
shall not be impaired. The secretary of
the treasury is directed to have coined
the bullion purchased under the Sher-
man law into standard silver dollars
and cover them into the revenues of the
treasury, but the silver dollars provided
for under the Bland act, which is re.
enacted, are to have priority in coin
age 30 far as practicable. Treasury
notes issued in payment for bullion are
to continue redeemable as now provided
for by law, and when redeemed are to be
destroyed. The tax OF 10 per cent on the
circulation Of state banks is repealed.

AT THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.
The Hawaiian Treaty on the
Senate Calendar.
Sherman Gets His Bond Resolution
Before the Senate.
The House Concludes Consideration
of the Pension appropriation
Bill and Takes Up POST
office Appropriations.

By the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE eundry
civil bill occupied the senate most of the
time today. The amendment discussed
yesterday, the effect of which is to con-
tinue in effect the law for federal super
visors of elections, carried by party
vote.
The senate then went into executive
session. When the doors were closed
the committee on foreign affairs re-
ported the Hawaiian treaty and recon-
mended that it pass. 1t was placed on
the executive calendar where it can be
reached at any time.
Sherman offered his bond issue amend
ment to the sundry civil appropriation
bill. A point of order was made by
Stewart. Vice-President Morton de-
cided that it made an appropriation to
carry out the existing law, limiting the
Authority of the secretary of the treasury
under the existing law. 1t did not, in
his opinion, propose new legislation.
He therefore held that it was in order.
An appeal against the ruling was taken
by Stewart, and the appeal, on motion
OF Hoar, was laid on the table, yeas 27,
nays IS. So the amendment was de-
cided to be in order.
The merits of the amendments were
discussed for the remainder of the day.
In the course of the discussion Stewart
said there was no necessity to sell bonds
and buy coin. There was plenty in the
treasury. There was over 5000, ,0OO, 900
silver coin and bullion in the treasury
and s10S, 900, 900 gold, thus making over
10000, 900 coin or what might be con-
verted into coin. If silver was good
money for the people it was good for
everybody and there was plenty of it.
Mills moved to strike out the fiye-year
provision and leave the bonds redeem
able at the pleasure of the government.
Sherman thought it not wise to ven
ture on Mills motion now. He did not
believe any considerable amount OF
per cent bonds would ever be issued.
At the same time the contingency should
be provided for. The power to issue
would, he thought, enable the secretary
OF the treasury to maintain the reserve
without issuing them.
Teller opposed the amendment which,
he said, came to the senate because the
bankers and brokers of New York de-
sired that the government might issue
securities on which they might bank.
Voorhees, supported the amendment.
Without disposing of it the senate ad-
journed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - Paul Neu-
mann, the envoy of Queer Liliuokalsni
to the United States, accompanied by
Prince David of the royal family and
two servants, reached the city late to-
night, and took apartments at the Rich
mond. Mr.. Neumann indicated par
TALLY what his course of action will be
in, his effort to induce the se nate to re-
fuse to rstify the treaty for the annexa-
tion of Hawaii, which is now under con-
sideration. Neumann regretted very
much that the matter had progressed on
far. He realized that owing to the ab-
sence of the president and secretary Of
state, he must submit the queens case
to the senators themselves and tomor-
row he will begin the work. He will
ask the senators to consider the papers
which he has in his possession. He re-
gretted exceedingly that such undue
haste. as he characterized it, should
have been used in sending the treaty to
the senate, when but one side of the
case had been heard. When he reached
San Francisco, Neumann said he tele-
graphed Secretary Foster to delay the
matter pending his arrival in Washing
ton.

They Are In No Sense to Be Conside red

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE com mis-
sioners of the Hawaiian govern ment
were today shown dispatch from San
Francisco stating that F. s. Pratt, the
Hawaiian consul-general, sent Vice.
President Morton protest against rati-
flying that part of the annexation tI esty
that applied to the crown lands in
Hawaii. They said the assertion that
Pratt's wife had any claim to crown
lands was wHthout good four l9iation.
Since 1865 the lands had been urtder the
control OF the Hawaiian COVE mment,
and their proceeds disbursed for govern
mental purposes. The expense of the
reigning family, however, were paid
this specific revenue. Mrs. Pratt was
not member of the reigning family,
though descended from chiefs. The
status of the lands, estimated by the
commissioners to be worth m ore than
81, 1908, 600, they say has beeil settled
beyond any question of doubt since 1865,
when the government acquired perfect
title to them.
