what Kajaulani Thinks Of America and
Washington.
Princess Kaiaulani has NO fear Of the Ameri-
can interviewer or in her general admiration of
what she has seen OF Washington she thinks
much better Of newsgstherers here than any
where else. Her recorded opinions Of Ameri-
| cans and America up to this date have not been
lengthy. But after she commenced TO see call
ers last night she gave al her time to it. She
YVES very tired yesterday after the long railroad
journey, and not only refused to see visitors all
the afternoon, but spent that time in the seclu-
sion of her own apartments. With the rest Of
her party she dined in the public dining room
of the Arlington last night. and about $50 was
ready to receive her callers. STAB reporter
was among the first who saw her. The chat
was on . variety OF topics, and all the ladies
travelling with the party were present
The princess is q very attractive young lady
in evening dress. She had OH a long trailing
skirt Of black silk and q pretty bodice Of pale
yellow silk. The wrinkied collar band was
pinned with diamond crescent and other fine
stones glittered in the rings she wore on her
white and shapely hands Her wavy black hair
was beeomingiy arranged in a FUZZY bang and
the high twisted knot now SO fashionable.
When she rose TO acknowledge the introduc-
ton made by Mr.. Davies. her guardian. the
princess shook hands in the good old-fashioned
way and not with the high elbow jerk that the
would-be fashiouables are still using. This fact
OF itself ought to commend any claims the
comeiy young lady has to the warm iudorse-
ment and affection of the American public
The princess, in short. puts on no lugs. aud acts
just like any well brought up and obseryant
young woman should. Her English has de-
cided accent. but it Is that of the Londoner.
and many West End belle would be charmed
to catch it.
WHAT SHE TIMES OF AMERICA.
When she was asked what she thought of
America after weeks stay in it she laughed
and said: II think / shall like Boston and
Washington best OF all. have seen New York.
Chicago and San Franciaco besides, brt think
Boston really de!igh,..i place. eujoyed NV

After being assured that pretty much all Of
Washington streets and roads we're Just as good
what she could see from the windows of her
hotel the princess said: We'll then, shall be
able to walk out here whether it rains or Shines
and have not had a nice WA in the rain since
left England
NOT TALKISa Politics.
The princess is not permitted by her guardian
to talk any politics. or Of anythins bearing on her
mission to this country. She has nothing sub
stantial to hope from the visit but only comes
as duty she feels that she owes to herself
She is now and has been always anxious 10 see
Washington and the President and his family
She has well learned the lesson that princesses
may not talk on every subject. ard any giriish
enthusiasm she may have she has under mar
velous control. Even with the simple utter
ances she made last night on such stirring topics
rs Washington and the weather she rarely VEN
tured an opinion before looking u, to the others
in the room for the encouragement Of their
smile.
Today if she is sufficiently rested she intends
to commence sightseeing and 70 enjoy that d.
version as long as there is anything worth see
ing. The length of the stay here will not likely
be more than ten days and the return VOYAGE
to England will be made this month in all PROP
ability.
ENTERTAINED BY REMESyI.
Princess Kaiaulani and party formed merry
party this morning. in their apartments at the
Arlington where they were treated to various
selections on the violin. rendered by Remenyi
who had previously met them one OF
his visits to Hawaii. Mr. Davies said be
would spend the. day in presenting letters
Of introduction he had brought with
him. 1t is now the intention of the party to
remain in Washington until the latter part of
next week. Mr.. Davies referred to the return
of Capt Wiitse, commander of the Boston. to
the United States and thought il was a good
thing that he had been relieved from duty at
the Honolulu station. He said that Capt Wiltse
was too ho:headed and had expressed himself
too freely at Honolulu.
No Races Today.
