yet won by the Dole Government. puts an end
to the power Of this intriguing woman, who, 1t
is now clearly shown. was at the bottom OF all
the royalist plots against the Provisional Gov

stubborn a woman as the ex-Queen should have
made this unconditional surrender shows that
she was in desperate straits and only adopted
this course TO save her life.
In the safe of her Washington Place residence
were found documents In her own handwriting
which establish a clear case of treason against
her. Had her arrest been made two days earlier,
as Marshal Hitchcock urged. the Government
would have secured important secret papers
latinR to the last DAYS of Kalakaua's reign. In
her house was found a regular arsenal of guns
and dynamite bombs All the bomb. were pro-
vided with one minute fuses and were prepared
to throw among the crowds that should oppose
the royalists. A portion of one of the cement
covered bombs was found on the ex-Queeil's
private desk. and among her papers was evil
dence that she had devoted considerable thought
to the dynamite feature of the conspiracy.

the thickly inhabited districts of the city. Mr..
Curley said that for $4,000. 900 the city could
build elevated structures at the intersection OF

OF parks costing twenty times as much. He had
in particular plan for the erection of gartle II

suggested, further, that the gardens could be
established not alone in the streets, but on pub
