THE HAWAIIAN R0YALISTS.
They Left the City Without Seeing
the President.

The Presidents illness prevented
his keeping his engagement to
receive the Hawaiian royalist com
missioners yesterday afternoon, says
the Washington Star of August 18th,
and their business with him was con-
ducted altogether in writing. 1t is
understood that they have petitioned
him to exercise his good offices with
the Hawaiian government to the end
that the deposed queen shall receive
compensation for the loss of her
throne and power sufficient to enable
her to maintain herself in q style
suitable to her station for the rest of
her natural life. 1t is said that this
is an alternative proposition to the
original one that the United States
government indemnify her royal
highness for her overthrow through
the alleged conspiracy of ex United
States Minister Stevens and the
officers of the cruiser Boston.
The three commissioners left the
city last evening, presumably for
their island home. They were here
altogether about ten days, and have
steadfastly refused to make public
the real object of their visit to this
city, and so far as known they de-
parted without imparting the secret,
except to the officials of the govern
men5. While in Washington they
had interviews with Secretary
Gresham and with a number of
members of Congress, but during
their visit the President officially
recognized the new Republic of
Hawaii, so that if the commissioners
attempted to have recognition de-
ferred their efforts were futile.

THE COMMISSION ARRIVES.
A Large Crowd on the Wharf to
Welcome the Alameda.

There was quite a crowd of peo-
pie on the Oceanic wharf yesterday
morning when the Alameda came
alongside of the dock. There were
a great many natives present, who
were anxious to find out just what
the royalist commission had to say,
for the reason that Ka Leo has
been filling them up for some days
/ with admonitions to wait until the
return of the commission. They
did so, and now they are not bit
wiser than they were before.
The commission was on board.
Mr.. Parker was up on the bridge
with Captain Morse; Judge Wide
man was leaning on the deck rail !;
John Cummins was not in sight.
They did not appear to have very
much information to impart and
they received a sort of a "no cake,
no cards, no ceremony" sort of a
reception. The members of the
now famous commission came
down the gang-plank of the YES
sci; they did not tarry long on
the dock, but secured carriages
and got away from the inquiring
tbrong "Genial Sam" was cornered
by several natives, who wanted
to know all about the trip; but the
ex Minister was smart enough to
give an evasive reply. He is cred
tied with saying, Everything is
all right" His answer can be read
both ways, just like the Japan
China war news.
Among the passengers op board
were Mr.. and Mrs. II. W. Schmidt.
While the vessel was docking Mr..
Schmidt waved two American
flags, as a signal that the vessel
brought good news. He received
warm welcome from his many
friends.
Other passengers were G. F.
Wall, Colonel u. S Spalding, Prof.
NJ, NJ. Scott, H. Renjes and wife,
Mrs. c. McLennau, Miss NJ. A.
Brewer and Miss S. r. Patch.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. H. Wetmore got
off here for brief stay. They are
on their honeymoon trip, and will
go as far as Japan. Mr.. Wetmore
was here for some months after the
monarchy was abolished as special
correspondent for the Chicago
Tribune. He is now on the staff of
the San Francisco Examiner.
Purser Sutton did not lay off
this trip IA he expected, but it is
understood that when his vessel
returns to San Francisco, he will
be transferred to the australia,
Thomas McCombe going to the
Alameda. Mr.. Sutton is not feel.
ing extra well, and be thinks that
the change will help him.

They Firrd Bombs.

There was a luau at Moonlight
Annie's last night. The company
got hilarious and started to fire of
a number of Chinese bombs, which
made SO much noise that some of
the neighbors telephoned to the
police, in the belief that an in
cipient revolution was on foot. The
officers went to the scene of action
and soon quelled the riot.

the present.
Further consideration was deferred
until next meeting.
In the matter of granting certain
franchises, President Dole said the
prevailing sentiment was that itwould
not be appropriate for the Councils to
grant them. This being the ease, he
did not see the need of any more dis
cussion.
The Councils then adjourned.
