THE EX-oUEEN'S PROBABLE STAND.
Professor Alexander says that, added to the
foregoing obstacle in the path of literal COM
p,iance with the instructions Of his superiors
Minister Willis has learned that the very person
whom the Administration seeks 10 beneht de-
clines TO be assisted unless assured tha' her
restoration to power will be accompanied by
euarantee from the United states that her per-
sonal safety and official security are TO be as
sured by force Of arms If necessary. Every
thing considered the Professor doubts not tiat
this is really the most serious problem WIN
which Minister Wills has u deal me Dehei-
ctary Of the royast programme healtates 10 ac,

nhvsjcal support from this country Inc queen
is a coward. She fears danger. and shrlnKs az
responsibility unless surrounded by force SUI
fcent to prevent any results which might IN
yolye her personal comfort or security.
Professor Alexan ier called attention 10 the
significant testimony of NJ. Parker a member
OF the Queens last Cabinet before Paramount
Blount Mr. Parker said then that he would not
a.air accert Office under the Queen IN case 81
her restoration unless the United States wouid
establish a prOtcctorate over Hawali. or othrr-
wise agree 20 uphold Liliuokalani in power. re
also said that he had 50 informed the queen ana
that should she seek his advice he would strongly
urge her not to consent to be again placed Oh
the throne unless a guarantee of protection was
given bv this Government. Professor Alexander
has no doubt that Mr. Parker and perhaps other
,roninent adherents of Liliuokaani nave I'M
messed upon her that il would be dangerous ana
,,nwise TO accept power without the active sup
mort of the United States. The Queen has prop
ahlv determined Professor Alexander THINKS, 10
take no risks and in the absence 0f guarantees
OF support from Minister Willis has declined 10
have her .wrongs' righted by Secretary Gresham
and the President.
