QUEEN ILLS VISIT.
4 Letter From One of the Leaders
In the Late Revolt Sheds Some
Light.

Washington. Dec. 12.-Caesar Celso
Moreno. once prominent in Hawaiian
politics, mas received a letter from one
of the leaders in the late revolt for
which the ex-queen, Liliuokalani, was
arrested and imprisoned. This COM
munication throws some light on the
Queens visit to this country. 1t speaks
of the robberT of the crown lands,
which were hers by right and which
would have given her an income for
life. In lieu of this income, the Dole
government has assured her pension,
which would have been given her,
(says the letter., but for the pretended
promise cs intervention by President
Cleveland in Hawaiian affairs The APP
parent purpose of this visit Of the
ex-queen, as disclosed in the letter. is
to demand indemnity for the loss of the
crown lands, as well as her regal au-
thoritv. which. it is claimed. were
taken away by a revolutionary move
ment instigated by the United States
consul and aided by United States
marines from the cruiser Boston

Concerning the general bonded ware
house, the commissioner has this to
say:
Under the general provisions of law.
the privilege of removal TO and storage
in these warehouses is extended to all
kinds of distilled spirits without ex-
ception, and consequently several or
the warehouses so established have
been mainly used for temporary oc-
cupancy by spirits for which the ware
house served merely as distributing
agencies instead of furnishing con-
Venient place for the permanent stor-
age of spirits which require to be aged
and ripened, as was contemplated by
the statute.
The practice of distributing these
spirits, designed for immediate con-
sumption from the warehouse rather
than from the distillerv, has resulted,
of course. in delaying the payment of
the tax thereon until the expiration
of the period covering the transDortd-
ton of the spirits from the diStillery
TO the warehouse and their subsequent
disposition to the trade, and conse-
quently the natural loss of the taxable
article occurring during such delay is
in respect to the tax transferred to the
government instead of falling upon the
owner. b>y whom it has properly been
hitherto borne.
In view of this condition of affairs,
he says. I have deemed it best to dis
continue such OF these warehouses as
were manifestly not subscribing the
purpose of their establishment.
Il would recommend that the statute
in this regard be so amended as 10
limit the privilege of storage in these
warehouses to such spirits as may be
approved r. This Office and. further,
that provision be made for charge of
not less than . cents each for the
general bonded warehouse stamps and
re-warehousing stamps which are af-
fixed to packages of spirits upon trans
fer from a distIlery warehouse to a
general bonded warehouse. or from one
bonded warehouse 70 another. which
charge, it is believed. would mainly de-
fray the expense to which government;
is nut for the supervision and control
of these warehouses. Unless action 70
this effect should be taken. it would
seem to be best that the authority for
their esta blishment be Withdrawn"

Small Change In Demand.

There is q mild demand on the treas
ury at present from large cities Tor
small coins 1t is one of the indications
of the approach of the holiday season.
Dimes. nickels. and pennies are oelnS
requested. The unusual fact is that
the greatest demand is for pennies
Even San Francisco has asked for
large supply of such coins. Heretofore
the nickel has been the smallest CON
used on the Pacific coast The demand
for pennies is explained by the prac-
tice of MANY dealers of marking then
goods at odd figures
