HOSPITALITY ABUSED.
ROYAL RESIDENCE AT KAILUA
ROBBED BY a VISITOR.
Queen DowRger KapIOlani Investi-
gates and Finds n Relic of
queen victoria Kamama-
Iu Missing.

Some months ago Mr.. Selano,
the agent of the Overland Month
ly, was in these islands, soliciting
topical articles and patronage for
that magazine. He was of pleas
ant address and ade friends Of
people with whom he came in
contact. In consequence he re-
ceived many courtesies and much
help in pursuing the objects Of
his visit. He went away well
pleased with his reception in
these islands.
A story comes from Kona,
Hawaii, however, which would
indicate that Mr.. Selano while
visiting Kailua badly abused
his bospitable reception. He
was admitted to the country
residence of the late King
Kalakaua there, which now be-
longs to Queen Dowager Kapio-
lani, on paying the native man in
charge a dollar or two. W. n.
Armstrong, a member of the
Labor Commission, who was on
his tour of Hawaii, is said to have
accompanied Mr.. Selsno in his
inspection of the house.
When Mr.. Selano came out of
the house he was carrying valise
that he did not have when he en-
tered. This fact becoming known
an investigation was made, the
Queen Dowager going from Homo
lulu to Kailua for the purpose.
1t was found that a valise
bearing on it the name
of Victoria Kamamalu," the
queen of Kamehameha V. who
died in England, was missing.
With this valued heirloom of the
late Kings household had also
disappeared a number Of Kala-
kaus's letters.
1t was prominent lady of Ho.
nolulu, who was visiting Kailua
at the time, who apprlsed the
Queen Dowager of tee act OF
spoliation. The Queen Dowager
took her nephew, David HAVANA
nakoa. with her to Kailua to in
vestigate the matter and found it
to be in accordance with the fore.
going statement. If Mr.. Arm
strong, an official of the Hawaiian
Government, saw the transaction
and kept quiet about it, he is
placed in rather unenviable
light, and should be asked for an
explanation by the Government.
Mr.. Armstrong is now in japan
on Government business. The
story without names has gone to a
San Francisco daily paper by a
recent mail.

were appropriated by special act Of
Congress. They have not yet been placed

clothes, badly worn shoes, with stockings
drawn over the trousers, he stands with
folded arms, having no musket, and looks
down as if in sorrow on the field where
many of his comrades sleep. The face Of

Why Hogs We're Cheap.

The Salt Lake Daily Tribune thinks
the enactment Of q new tariff has moth
ing to do with the lower price for hogs;
yet in the same article says, "the peo-
pie have become so poor that the I'M.
derconsumption of the country is some
thing enormous" This applies equally
to hogs as it does to wheat, corn and
sugar, of which government statistics
show that decreased quantities have
been consumed by the people since the
present administration came into
power. People who are out Of job,
or whose wages have been cut down,
have not been buying pork very freely
during the last two years. Their sup
ply Of currency was not elastic enough
to afford them even the usual quantity
Of bread to which they had formerly
been accustomed under protection.
