Queen Willing TO He Pensioned.
WASHINGTON, Dec. lin the event
OF the ex-queen and princess coming TO
Washington, their visit could not be re-
garded by the authorities here as ofhciai,
for the United States has formally recog-
nized the rep1hiic of Hawaii and its dip
iomatic representatives receive full off,
cial credit here. The last friction was re-
moved when Minister Thurston retired on
the request of Mr.. Gresham. The sx-
queen and princess therefore could not be
treated other than as private citizens.
When Princess Kaiulani visited here three
years ago che was socially received by
Mrs. Cleveland. but not officially recog-
nlzed or received by the president or 9TH
er officials. 1t is understood that the
queens resources have been such OF late
that the addition of pension as one Of
the features OF an annexation treaty
might not be unacceptable. She has not
lived at the palace since her deposition,
but has occupied the old Dominis home
stead in quiet and economical style.
The crown lands, which were her main
source OF wealth, were forfeited to the
new government. When she was par
doned no pension was given to her, so that
she sustains herself on her personal
means. which are not abundant.
