! signed on the 18th of January; but 1t was
| thought that it would have been distaste-

an unpleasant (for her) anniversary. 1t
was then decided to postpone the matter
until after President Dole's return from
Hawaii. He came back on Tuesday after
noon and the pardon was signed yester-
day afternoon. 1t was written on two
sheets of paper of the kind usually en-
ployed in diplomatic correspondence and
sent from the Foreign Office to the ex-
Queens residence at Washington place by

To Mrs. Liliuokalani Domlnis.
1t is understood that the ex-Queen is
very much pleased with the removal of all
restrictions on her personal liberty. AS
she never had any desire to leave the
| islands the proviso that she cannot leave
without permission cuts little figure. 1t
is generally understood that the present
state of affairs has been brought about by
the persistent efforts of Charles B Wilson,
her late marshal and present agent, under
whose advice she has been acting since her
arrest last year.
