Princess Kaiulani Of Honolulu was guest Of
the Sorosis in New York yesterday. That co.
ciety gave Q luncheon ct the Hotel Savoy ut II
O'Clock. When the princess arrived at the Brs-
WORT House she found the invitation to attend
the celebration awaiting her. At about IL 80
o'clock the princess left the hotel and started
for the Savoy. She made the journey in q closed
carriage. Mrs. and Miss Davies, wife and daugh-
ter Of Guardian Davies, went with her. Before
starting the princess said she would not deliver
an address at the meeting.
Mr.. Davies said that last evening would be
spent at the hotel. He did not think that the
princess would care to sccept any other invita-
tons before she goes away. She and her
friends will leave on the steamship Majestic for
Europe tomorrow morning.
The princess announced yesterday that abe
would give out farewell address to the public
before she sails
"Au she wants is fair play" said Mr.. Davies.
and Uncle Sam will give her that"
The New York Sun says that Mr.. Davies, the
princess guardian, supplemented her letter
with the following statement:
II have been SO often asked II / am satisfied
with the result Of our mission that think il
well to explain that we had no special mission,
and that we do not claim to have influenced in
any degree the position Of the Hawaiian ques-
ton. 1t is q mere incident Of the Hawaiian
constitution that the Princess Kaiulani 10 the
legal successor to Queen Liliuokalani, and
am not here to protest against the rights Of the
the Hawaiians by revolution to set aside the
monarchy altogether. But l protest agains,
the right Of any committee Of gentlemen. with
out the pretense of consultation with the
Hawaiian nation. to attempt to transfer to any
foreign government the nation and the flag that
they are sworn TO phold.
''Coaling stations and harbors aad q step.
ping stone to the orient have nothing to dc
with 1t, and history has q very sharp way Of de-
fining this kind of transaction. At first the
matter hardly appeared in its true light but
the moment the United States statesmen real
lied what they had been asked to do the Presi-
dent adopted the only proper course and dis
patched a special commissioner, thus givlne
guarantees to all the world that craftsmanship
and justice will alone be permitted to settle
this question.
princess Kaiulani and her friends have ir
no way contributed to this result. but none tn,
less are they grateful that this course has beer
adopted"
