Under the head Of petitions the
following was read.
To the President and members
Of the Senate.
HONORABLE GENTLRMEN: The
undersigned, your petitioner, re-
spectfully represents that lie was
the chamberlain to the ex-Queen
Liliuokalani, having been appoint
ed OH the 2nd Of February, 1891.
That at the end of March, 1898,
the payment Of salary for the said
office was stopped, and that your
petitioner has not received any fur
Their allowance since that date.
That the sudden withdrawal of
the salary was great hardship TO
your petitioner under the circum-
stances, as his position at that time
was of such a nature that he con-
scientiously felt he could not retire
from the services of the Sovereign.
That his position on the 18th OF
January, 1893, was somewh I
peculiar one. He was not strictly
a Government official, although his
salary was paid from the Treasury
by Act of Legislature. He was an
officer of the royal household.
That Oh that day a Provisional
Government was declared estab-
lished ito exist until, etc, etc. 4,
etc" Upon the same day, Liliuoka-
lani protested against such action,
and yielded her authority to the
United States of America until
such time, etc, etc, etc.
Under these circumstances your
petitioners duty seemed to be not
only clear and plain, but honor and
principle seemed also to demand
that he should remain near the ex-
queen until the matter in question
was finally settled by the Govern
ment Of the United States CT Amer
lea. He does not think that he
could have done otherwise.
That your petitioner continued
