They Are Sore.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Queen Liliuo-
kaIani's missiOners-Samuel Par
ker, l.. A. Widemann and j. a. Cum
mins-arrived at the Grand Pacific
tonight, on their way back to Homo
lulu. "Our mission was not wholly
unsatisfactory said one of the COM
missioners. We succeeded in pre-
senting the subject of the present stu
alton in it's proper light. We had
expected, however, to be able to keep
the Republic, as it is called, from re-
ceiv1ng recognition. We failed in
that, as President Cleveland has seen
fit to recognize it. There is nothing
for us to do but to live under the Gov
ernment in the hope of some day
occurring change.
at is impossible TO secure control
of the Government by the Opposition,
fer Dole and his party compel the oath
of allegiance. 1t has not the support
of q majority of the white people, and
no support whatever from the natives.
Such being the case, you can readily
see that it has not the elements of
stability.
1.-THE claim that the natives were
only waiting for recognition of the
Republic by the United States to take
the oath of allegiance is not true. The
natives will not take the oath. The
Constitution gives more power to the
President than the Constitution of 1852
gave to the King, who had been absO-
lutte ruler over life and death and pro-
perty when he agreed to it. 1t is Re-
public only in name, and will not
continue unless made more liberal"
