WEEKS STAY IN SAN FRANCISCO
To BE Followed by a Trip to WASH

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 10
The unexpected arrival Of ex-Queen
Liliuokalani from Honolulu today
evoked much interest and gave rise
to no little speculation as to the OBJ
ject of her trip Her only attendants
were a man and a woman servant, and
even her San Francisco agent and
former chamberlain, Col. George Mac
Farlane. did not know Of the ex-
queens coming until he received a
summons from her on the arrival of the
steamer.
Liliuokalani declines to be interview
ed and will give no information regard
ing the length Of her visit here, nor her
future plans. Her fellow passengers on
the steamer gathered the idea that she
will go to Washington and call upon
President Cleveland, in the hope that
the United States will take some steps
looking to the restoration of the Ha-
waiian monarchy. 1t is intimated by
Col. MacFarlane that the ex-queen will
represent to the president that the Ha-
waiian republic has been a failure and
that the great majority of the Ha-
waiian people would welcome a return
to the former monarehial institutions.
Liliuokalani has been under the sur
VIGILANCE of the Hawaiian government
ever since the last native rising until
a few weeks ago, when she was grant
ed an unconditional pardon. She seems
to have taken advantage Of the first
opportunity thereafter to leave the
island.
Col MacFarlane said: ''She has not
yet made me her eonfidant, but from
her conversation gather that she will
remain in San Francisco week. She
will certainly visit Washington and
possibly London. 1t is certain that her
trip is made in the interests of herself
and people. 1t certainly has nothing
to do with the annexation proposition,
which she naturally opposes. In few
days, the queen tells me, she will make
a statement of her plans to the pub
lic"
The ex-queen was seen tonight, but
was extremely reticent. To all Dues
tions as to her intentions she replied:
81 have not yet matured my plans"
She would not even say why she had
left Honolulu. The Hawaiian consul,
however, has received advices from
his government stating that on the
morning of her departure Liliuokalani
called on President Dole and inform
ed him that she was going to Boston
to see relatives of her husband, the late
John Dominis. Representatives of Ha-
wall in this country have been in
structed to show the ex-queen every
courtesy while she is in the United
States.

ONLY LIVE ROBBERS.
The Postal Department Doesn't Pay
for a Rober Who Is Killed.

Washington Star
Some very curious cases have been
decided by the law department. of the
Eost Office department relating to re-
wards for the capture Of robbers of
postofices. Mr.. Miliken has just rem
dered a decision against a claimant at
California, Mo-, where a post office
safe was robbed In such cases the
department pays 5000 each for the con-
yiction Of the persons engaged in the
robbery. There were five persons con-
cerned in the affair. but the authori-
ties had no clue to the men. 1t hap
pened. however, that the guilty per-
sons were in a. saloon some time after
ward, and one of them got into a
dispute with a farmer and a lively row
ersued, in which the farmer shot and
killed the man. The other men ran
out, but were captured by other per-
sons, not because they were post Office
robbers, but because they were en-
gagged in the row.
1t turned out on examination that
the man who was killed was the ring
leader of the robbers and had the bulk
of the booty on his person. His death
resulted in proving completely in the
robbery upon the other four men. The
men who captured the four have been
allowed $780, The farmer made appli-
cation for 5000. but It is held that the

where there had been a robbery and
three notorious desperadoes were pur-
sued. and after fierce encounter. one
was killed. another mortally wounded

and had nearly all the stolen property
on his person. The others were tried

FOR WEARING A GUN INTO THE
RING FOR THE sHARKEY
FIGHT.
NEW EVIDENCE OF FRAUD.
STORY of "AUsTRALLAN BILLY"
SMITH C0RRoBORATED By
TRAINER ALLEN.
sHARKEY's HURT WAS A FAKE.
Other Testimony offered to Show
the Sailor Was Not F1oored
by Foul Blow.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Dec. TO-
The evidence in the Fitzsimmons- Shar-
key case today was along the same
lines as the testimony previously given.
George Allen, Sharkeys second and as
sistant trainer, was the principal wit
ness today, his evidence corroborating
in the main the testimony given by
Australian Billy" Smith.
On cross-examina.tion Allen admit
ted that while Sharkey after the fight
gave no external evidence of injuries in
the groin. he asked for water when
taken to his dressing room, and when
the water was brought. directed Allen
to battle his groin. Allen declared that
Sharkey had been fairly knocked out,
and he declares that no foul blow was
struck by Fitzsimmons. He was so
impressed by the fact that Sharkey
was knocked out that after the sailor
had been down six seconds, he started
to throw up his towel to indicate Shar-
keys surrender.
Allen says he helped carry Sharkey
into the dressing room, from which all
but Sharkey, Lynch and the trainers
were excluded. In the dressing room
Sharkey was carefully examined, and
witness was positive he was at that
time uninjured in the groin. After
Sharkey was taken to his hotel and
the trainers were excluded from Shar-
keys room, Lynch, Danny Needham
and DIR. Lee were alone with Sharlxey.
Shortly afterwards, from his position
outside the room, witness said he heard
Sharkey cry. out as If in pain. When
he saw Sharkey the next time, on the
following day, his groin was bandaged
and there were stains of blood on the
groin. He applied Concentrations to the
groin which was then swollen and dis
colored. No doctor was permitted to
examine Sharkey in the dressing room
Immediately after the fight, although
several, including the physician of the
National Athletic club, applied for ad-
neittance and rendered their services.
According to the witness Lynch said:
OWE WANT NO DOCTOR HERE"
Witness, on cross-examination, reit-
Grated his positive statement that no
foul blow was struck and that the
only injuries Sharkey received during
the fight We're on his head and face.
William Abbott, saloonkeeper, teS-
titled that during the fight he had sat
close to the ring and that when Shar-
key was knocked out, he had assisted
Smith and Allen to carry Sharkey to
the dressing room. He corroborated
the statements of Smith and Allen that.
Sharkey had not been fouled, and said
that Sharkey gave no evidence of hav-
ing been fouled His testimony re-
garding the absence Of foul, or of any
marks on Sharkey's groin when car
ried from the ring was corroborative
with that of the previous witnesses.
A recess was then taken until Mon
day.
In the police court today, Referee
Wyatt carp was fined $50 for having
carried a pistol to the ring ON the
night Of the fight.
