ROYALTY At THE HUB
Princess KainIani View
ing Sights Of Boston.
PRAISE FOR THE PRESS,
Confident That American Statesmen
Will Treat Hawaii Fairly.

BosToN, March 4-There slept beneath
the shadow of the hospitable Brunswick
last night one of royal blood and lineage
Princess Victoria Kaiulani. She comes
here rs n supplcant-a position not un-
known Ia royalty-and throws herself
upon the clemency of great nation, ask.
Ing that her native land-the scene Of her
brthplace-be left in peace, notwithstand-
ing the fact that her subjects are now In
this land praying for protection.
The princess arrived In Boston shortly
after o'clock last evening. A crowd OF
about 100 greeted her on arriving 1T Park
square station aud eyed her with looks OF
curiosity. Her party, consisting OF Mr..
aud Mrs. Thomas Davies, Miss Davies,
Miss Whatoff, Mr.. Parntoff, secretary, and
Mr. Charles Davies, Immediately pro-
ceeded To the Hotel Brunswick and regis
tered.
To the crowd Of newspapers reporters
that solicited interviews Mr.. Davies gave
the following statement II wish to 40
knowledge in warm terms the courtesy
with which the gentlemen OF the press
generally reported the various interviews
which have had with them since our ar
rival, and the kind words which have been
spoken Of the princess, whatever the poll
teal opinions OF the writers may have
been. ! have endeavored to
Meet with Perfect Frankness
the questions that have been put to me,
and have no desire to vary from that
course now. 1t is gratifying to me to find
that no criticisms of the responsibility
have assumed in accompanying the princess
u this country have been made except by
gentlemen who have been representing
Hawaii in various stages and degrees dur
ing the past few weeks.
II should bave thought they at least
would have consulted their own feelings
more faithfully by remaining silent Dur
ing all the days or weeks they have been
here, IL has not occurred to one Of them
To send single word Of hope or despair or
even of recognition to the princess, whose
existence has only apparently become
known since she sailed with her friends for
this country More than week before
she sailed, that unexplained and, a. 20 far
appears unexplainable telegram, was sent
to me; island transferred, princess pro-
vided for And not another word from
friend or foe.
Concerning the FIXTURE.
And IL the princess had friends true
enough to undertake with her such voy-
age as this, IL is hardly for them who have
done nothing to show that they had not
forgotten her to begin now to criticise
others who hsve at least vindicated the
claims of loyalty and friendship. Since
we have landed we have received nothing
but expressions Of the warm sympathy
we should find here. And II the states
men of this great nation decide that the
Hawaiian nationality Is to be only
memory, we have at least the satisfaction
of knowing that the sentence will not
have been spoken in cold neglect, but
that our young princess has become .
reality In every American home. For
political reasons 1t may seem desirable to
carp at the fact Of an Englishman having
taken this step, but is there an American
man or woman who would have been
satisfied to do lessp"
The princess refused to be interviewed
and would discuss nothing, not even the
weather or the condition Of Boston streets
The princess and party will remain in Bos.
ton until Tuesday.
