Their Wilt to Washington
washington. Aug. 2.-The Hawaiian
royalist commissioners, who reached
the city Tuesday night, kept to their
rooms at the Arlington most Of yes
terday arranging for their plan Of
work while here. When a press re-
porter asked Mr.. Wideman the pur-
pose of his visit here he replied: Il
can not. tell you at this time
We have agreed not TO divulge
the nature of our mission
until we see Secretary Gresham. and
also possibly the president. We ex-
pect to see Secre tary Gresham, and
Shall go direct to the state depart
ment and not seek the assistance Of
any intermediary, just the same as
you would do had you any bus ness
there. The president has refused the
plea for the restoration Of the queen
and why should we. who represent
her. not have the privilege of calling
on the secre tary?"
Mr.. WidcmAn said further that the
commission lad not come to Washing
ton to ask for the restoration of tn
compensation for her because of her
dethronement In fact he owl e
mani had not heard Of the report
until he reached Washington.
He was som sWhat c1ary IN discuss
ing the statement that has beer
printed to the effect that the com m is
sion would request the Y nited States
to adopt a policy Of non-interference
in Hawaiian matters pending further
Developments. 1t was evident, how
ever, that he felt deeply on
this subject for he promptly
replied, in answer to q gu estion
regarding it. that the resolution of
the United States senate certainly
meant non interference, and later he
made a remark to the effect that the
present government was that of Mr.
Stevens. formerly the American min
lister.
Secretary Gresham will see the
Hawaiians as Individuals, but it is un-
likely anything definite VIII come Of
their visit.
