Those best qualified to speak for
President Cleveland and Secretary
Gresham, who have been willing to
speak at all, have expressed great con-
fdence that ex-Queen Lilluokalanis, has
| already been restored to her throne no
later than last Wednesday. The equally
confident assertions of those best ac-
Qualnted with the character aid re-
sources of the provisional government
that she could not be restored without
the use OF force has made no difference.
apparently, in the confidence of those
who claim that she has been restored.
This has led to the Inference that Min
lister Willis instructions were to employ
force, II necessary, to accomplish the
purpose for which he was sent, and that
marines were probably landed in Homo
lulu Wednesday If any objection was
offered by the provisional government 10
the programme proposed. The rather
cordial reception accorded yesterday by
Secretary Gresham to Minister Thurs
toms official call and his formal ac-
| acknowledgement of the answered rela-
tions between the legation and the gov
eminent makes 1t seem incredible that
Instructions can have been given to
land marines in Honolulu for purpose
of aggression upon the government
which Mr.. Thurston represents. No

ject, but the
BELIEF IS GROWING
that Minister Willis instructions did
not include the employment of force.
The confidence OF those near the presi-
dent that the queen has been already
restored is thought to be due to their
belief that the provisional government
would yield Immediately to the suggeS-
ton of the United States minister that
the provisional government had ter
| minated and that the sovereignty
thereof reverted TO the queen
and her government. 1t is now
believed that Minister Willis instruc-
| lions are, if the provisional government
refuses to yield TO his suggestion, to
wait for further orders. If this is true

are much interested in the subject and
eager for news on it. A prominent Off

The original right of Queen Liliuoka-
| lani to the throne of hawaii was bY
| nomination of her.
| BROTHER KALAKAUA.
The Hawaiian constitution founded
| on custom, provided for this mode of
| succession. When monarch failed to
provide successor the choice reverted
| to the upper house of the legislature
| When Lunalilo died in 1878, after very
brief reign, he named no successor. The
| house of mobiles chose David Kalakaua.
| He had been police court lawyer in
| Honolulu and played a banjo at dances
| for consideration. His wife, Kapio-
LAM. had been the widow of a South
| Sea island missionary. AT one time she
helped to support her husband by wash
ing clothes. Kalakaua's mother was of
the blood of the low chiefs, as was his
reputed father. 1t is notorious, how
| ever, that his real father vas negro
| barber. Kalakaua and L 5 full sister,
Liliuokalani, show wide divergence
from the Hawaiian racial type. Their
noses are fatter, their hair is kinky and
their lips are much thicker than the pure
native type. The late Princess Likolike.
| mother of Princess Kaiulani, haIf-sister
to Liliuokalani, was of pure native
| blood and her appearance was in
marked contrast to that of her brother
| and sister.
Preceding Kalakau, with the excep-
| ton of Lunalilo there had never been
| any king that was not of the pure blood
of the high chiefs. In their aboriginal
state the high chiefs had absolute dis
| position of life and death among the
Hawaiians, and alone possessed the
mysterious power of the taboo. They
were so much larger and finer-looking
men than the ordinary natives that they
were often taken by some early nayi-
gators for a different race. When Kali
akaua was elected king the natives
broke out in rioting in Honolulu, ana he
was only installed by the forces of for
eign powers. He named LiliuokaIani
