HONOLULU. Sept. 26-The reception ten
dered to tho officers and men OF tho United
States ship Boston took place last night
The executive building was beautifully dec-
grated. and the recess behind the dais OF the
ex-Queen's throne was devoted to the Ameri-
can flag. Over 1000 invitations were sent out
irrespective OF party politics.
Admiral Skerritt allowed the band from the
United States ship Philadelphia to contribute
dance music. while tho Government band
played outside. The reception and ball took
place In the throne room. and was a grand sue
cess.
1t is said the ex-Queen is much incensed at
the desecration Of her palace by these festivi-
ties. She declares that when she is restored
to tho throne she will have another palace
built. She Is actively canvassing the natives
for the election which she believes President
Cleveland will order:
1t is the common belief here. however. that
the United States cannot insist on an election
which might consign the country to the de-
cisou OF ignorant natives.
Holding these views the membsrs OF the
Government expect that Minister Willis will
have nothing more than the usual Instructions.
assurances that an election will be held.
Many people here think the Democratic Ad-
ministration is not acting as promptly as the
Hawaians have u right to expect. They think
that amp exation will now be delayed until the
