THuRsToN REPLIES TO kAuLANI.
He Didn't Send Her to England Nor Steal
Her Throne.


WASHINGTON, Feb 21-Thurston, one
of the Hawaiian annexers, says, referring
to Princess Kaiulani's protest printed in
these dispatches yesterday, that he did not
either directly or indirectly have anything
to do with sending the princess to Eng.
land, or have anything to do with her edu-
cation or movements. That when she went
TO England she was not heir to the throne.
as kalakaua was alive and Liliuokalani
was the heir When the latter came 10 the
throne she and the house of mobiles nom
mated kaiulani as the heir
The Other Charge Repudiated,
Cleghorn, the father of the princess. is,
says Thurston, British subject and ali
her environments are British, and that the
young lady was sent to England against a
strong feeling in Honolulu that she should
be educated in the United States" He
(Thurston) is not trying to take away my
flag and throne,n as the princess had no
throne until Liliuokalani died for one
thing; and that Thurston and his colleagues
were ereluctantlyforced to take their present
position by the memorable logic OF events.
Neumann Talks to Senators.
Neumann, the queens envoy, had con-
ferences with several senators Yesterday.
to whom he presented letters of introduc-
tion from business men on the islands and
others whom he knew personally before
leaving the United States several years
ago Neumann failed to see Secretary
Foster, who came in from Watertown, n.
y, to give him an interview, through
some misunderstanding of the hour of the
meeting which had been fixed by the secre-
tary at 6 p. N. yesterday

hour. On their way to the table he apollo
gized to Carlisle for his late arrival by say
ing that he not received his invitation un-
til a late hour. Carlisle assured Breckin-
ridge that he had not sent him any invita-
ton, whereupon that gentleman fished out
the invitation from his pocket and present
ed it to his host. Carlisle produced the

SILVER MEN FULL OF FIGHT.
They Will Have No Compromise Ar
ranEement of the Conference.

They Will Have No Compromise Ar
rangement of the Conference.
The out-and-out free coinage men an
nounce that they will fight the proposition
to the death. Pierce of Tennessee said :;
"The silver men at that conference will
lind that they cannot speak for the free
silver men in this house No agreement
that they make will be acknowledged by
the free silver men, who have learned to
know that in finance whatever Wall street
asks is against the interests of the acricul-
tural world and laboring people / want
no better guide how 10 vote than that Wall
street is for or against the measure. They
are opposed to anything in the interest of
the exporting states of the west and south y
Mighty Poor show for the scheme.
The silver compromise proposition was
shown to the Republicans by Tracey of
New York, and they were asked if they
would support it. Nearly all of
the Republicans who voted with
the anti-silver men the last time, includ-
ing Reed, replied that they would not do
SO. 1t therefore seems that this latest at
tempt to repeal the Sherman silver bull
ion pun chase act cannot gain the votes nee
essary to its passage, as the free coinage
Democrats say they will refuse to vote for
it. and the Republican detection more than
offsets the Democratic gain as a result of
the conference.
How the Conference Was ARRANGED.
The conference was arranged in a man
ner that was novel to say the least. 1t
seems that most of those present received
note saying that Carlisle requested the
person invited to attend a meeting for an
informal conference on the silver question
Carlisle himself got an invitation inform
ing him that certain Depocratic represen-
tatives would call upon him for confer
ence. This note was signed by Mr.
kenney, connected with a publication
known as American Industries. He is also
interested with Josiah Quincy in T he
Economist.
Surprise on Both Sides.
Carlisle met the gentlemen whom he
supposed had called on him by their own
appointment and they naturally felt a
little fattered that Carlisle invited them
Each of the visitors knowing the object of
the conference, the silver question was dis
cussH and an understanding-wasr reached

Il, E,nlt one 81 the Pyram,d..

The British museum, the great
European storehonse Of all things oat
of the ordinary, has hundreds OF
Egyptian mummies of all dynasties
carefully slowed. away within its
walls. Some of these are
lively recent efforts at embalming, and
others date back to the swide-reyolv-
ing shades of centuries past The
oldest of the entire collection is the
mummy of Mykerinos. He WAS n king
in Egypt in what is known to his
tory ns the Fourth dynasty
aud wore his golden tiara and sat on
the throne of thrones 1000 years
before the wise men followed the star
Of fate till it stopped over that loyly
Bethlehem where the infant
Jesus lay, Mykerinos was the builder
of the thi I'd pyramid at Ghizeh, where
his headless mummy was discovered
in the year 1886. The stone coffin in
which he was being transported to
England was lost at sea and lay at the
bottom of the ocean for two years be-
fore being recovered. 1t is seldom
that u mans bones are subjected to
such vicissitudes. especially 5000 or
G,00o years after his death.

Indefinite period of years by the aanat

One cannot travel any distance through

Kanaa dead These places can not be
called ~grayeyards, for the bodies are
not buried, lut rather placed ON ele-
waited platforms, wrapped in the gar
ments OF death and bound to the cross
beams that thay may not be displaced.
In one OF these burial grounds there
viii probably be fifty high skeleton
three TO five OF the Kanaa dead. The
air in that part Of Bolivia is very pure
aud prcservative, for it is one of tho
highest plateaus of the contilcnt, al
though Eanaa Valley is just Il little
below the pla3eau's height. A traveller
passing through that lard at night and
by moonlight would be awe-stricken at
the gloomy vision those grayeygrds pre-
sent. ! looked on many OF them at
night while | wa there, and can truly
say that nothing seemed SO opprs ssively

stir mp the sentiment OF a nature to
