tend to cause little trouble to those wish
ing annexation. He said that the DOmo-

A BAD MOVE.
The Princess Has Done herself No

0Oou III coming.
NEW YORK, March 1.-E. c. Macfarlane,
a friend.Of Princess Kaiulani, says that the
claims that are being made by the anti
Hawaiian. n.annexatonists to the effect that
! Claus Spreekels and others engaged in the
sugar industry in Hawaii had brought
about the revolution. are made without
foundation.
II am'Opposed to annexation, but Eeyer
| have made a claim that Claus Spreckels
| entered into a conspiracy to overthrow the
Hawaiian Kingdom said Macfarlaue. II
donot believe: in tact am almost positive,
| with the change OF affairs. If he did have,
! he has not yet shown his hand.
The sugar industry would be injured by
annexation instead of benefited, and it Is
not natural thata sugar planter should at
tempt to injlre his own interests. It's alb
snrd to make the claim that Spreckels was
in any conspiracy to depose the Queen and
help TO bring about annexation in order TO
secure thesugar bounty. The sugar plan
| ters would much rather have contract labor
| than the bounty, especially when the latter
| is expected to cease at any moment"
| MacfaElane says that he regards the COM
| ing of Princess Kaiulani as most unfortu-
4 nate thing for the anti-anuexation move
| ment.
Her coming Will do no good" said he,
especially when she is under the wing Of an
ultra Brtisher."
DR.. Smith, the Hawaiian Minister,
agrees with Macfarlane regarding the
adYsability OF the visit of the Princess to
| this country at is a most unfortunate
thing for the ant-annexation people," he
says. The Princess has no business here.
The Queen has not abdicated the Hawaiian
throne, and she can have no official weight
Her coming was entirely against the wishes
of her father.
"Cleghorn sent Davies word not TO come
with the Princess, but he either did not get
the word or he mas disregarded the fathers
wishes. He certainly did not wait until he
had obtained CleghorH's consent. In fact
he did not trouble himself TO ask for 1t. He
simply took the entire affair into his own

that she might be trained in quiet home
