try, went down the bay on the revenue

mediately after she left the Health

quite an army of curiosity seekers on the
pier to get glimpse of the Princess. a
suite of rooms were engaged for the party
ut the Brevoort House, and they were
driven there Immediately after coming
of the steamship.
The Princess is IS years old. She is a
tall, beautiful young woman, with a
sweet face and slender figure. She has
the soft brown eyes and the dark COM
plexion that mark the Hawaiian beauty
She has come to the United States, she
said, more for the purpose of learning
and observing for herself the nature of
the people who had been asked to take
control of her country than to make
formal petition for her crown.
That" she said, sis rightfully mine,
and If the Americans are the noble
minded people L have learned TO regard
them as, they will not be party to an
outrage by which I have lost my birth
right"
In regard to her views on the various
aspects which the Hawiian Government
is likely to assume the Princess Kaiulani
referred to her guardian, DIR, Davies, but
she issued the following address:
THE PRINCESS ADDRESS.
To the american People: Unbidden
! stand upon your shores to-day where l
thought so soon to receive a royal well
come on my way to my own kingdom l
come unattended. except by loving hearts
that come with me over the wiutry seas.
! hear that Commissioners from my land
have been for many days asking this
great nation to talse away my little vine
yard. They speak no word to HE, and
leave me to find out as l can from rumors
OF the air that, would leave me without
home or name or nation.
Seventy years ago Christian America
sent over Christian men and women to
give religion and civilization to Hawaii.
They gave us gospel, they made us ma
ton, and we learned to love and trust
America. To-day three of the sons of
those missionaries are at your Capitol
asking you to undo their fathers work.
Who sent them? Who gave them author
ity to break the Constitution thew swore
they would uphold? To-day, I q poor
weak girl, with not one of my people
near me, and all these Hawaiian states
men against me, have strength to stand
up for the rights of my people. Even now
can hear the wall in my heart, and It
gives me strength and courage, and am
strong, strong in the faith of God, strong
in the knowledge that I am right, strong
in the strength that the seventy millions
of people who are in this free land will
hear my cry, and viii refuse to let their
flag cover dishonor to mine"
STATEMENT oF- DAVIES.
Davies made statement as follows:

orally the confidence OF the natives and
foreigners. At that time, the Princess
Kaiulani, heiress presumptive, was IL
years of age, and it was felt TO be very
important that she should be sent en-
tirely away from the surroundings and
influences of Hawaiian court life, in order
that she might be trained in quiet home
atmosphere which would enable her to
more fifty take up her future position as
sovereign. Thurston repeatedly urged
that the young Princess should be sent
to England with this object in view, and
in 1889, when she was 10 years of age, the
plan was carried out, and Princess Kaiu-
lani was sent to England in charge of a
lady who was about to spend a year in
Europe, and who undertook to place her
at suitable school, which had already
been selected.
''At the end of the first year the result
was deemed so satisfactory that Kalau-
kua was persuaded TO consent to a con-
tinuance of the young Princess stay in
England, and as the lady who, had been
her chaperon had to return to Honolulu,
request was made by the father of the
Princess, with the written concurrence of
the King and the Princess Liliuokalani,
that Mrs. Davies and myself would act as
guardians during the Princess stay in
England. Princess Kaiulani has thus
been entirely as one of our own children,
ard spent all her holidays with US. Her
ore idea and our one idea has been to
prepare her for return to her own land
during the present year, when she attains
her majority.
