that While IL was quite important for the
United States to use any of the British

San Francisco, Dec. 10.-Ex-Queen
Liliuokalani of Hawaii, arrived I'M
expectedly from Honolulu on the
steamer China this morning. The OBJ
iect of her visit is at present I'M
known, but the impression which ex-
listed among the passengers is that
Liliuokalani is en- route to Washing
ton, where it is her intention to make
final and urgent appeal to President
Cleveland for the restoration of her
throne.
From the facts which were CLEANED,
it is evident that the starting of
veloped in mystery. No announcement
was made of her intention to leave
during the time which the China lay
at the wharf between her arrival from
Yokohama and departure. About ten
minutes before sailing time, Liliuoka
lani made her appearance on board,
going at once to a stateroom which
had been reserved for her, and in
which she remained until the vessel
was well out to sea.
Colonel MacFarlane, who was cham
berlain to her brother, the late King
Kalakaua, met the ex-queen upon the
arrival of the steamer, having re-
ceived a notification of her presence
on board, and escorted her to the
California hotel. In an interview this
afternoon, he said he had no knowledge
as to the plans of Liliuokalani, and
that her coming was a complete sur
prise to him.
Il was never more astonished," he
said, than when I received the an
nouncement of her presence here, and
as yet she has not confided any in
formation to me- 1 tell you honestly
that L am utterly unable to divine the
occasion of her visit, which is in the
nature of an all-round surprise From
her conversation, 1 gather that she
will remain in San Francisco a week,
and then visit Washington and posi-
bly, London. 1t is certain that her
trip is made in the interests of herself
and people. What that business NAV
be, I do not know positively. 1t has
nothing to do with the annexation
proposition, which she naturally op-
poses. In few days, the queen tells
me, she will make a statement of her
plans to the public"

New York. Dec 10.-Conferences of
the principal manufacturers of white
paper used by newspapers have been
held in this city for more than a week
past, TO consider the formation of a
general stock company to handle the
product of the mills and to act as
the general agent of the allied con-
Germs. These negotiations eliminated
today in the practical agreement of all
concerned to pool interests, and to
deal with consumers only through
general agency, which is TO be estab-
lished in this city. The plan involves
the formation of a national associa-
ton, capitalized at a moderate amount.
which is to control the product OF all
the mills. By this arrangement, the
manufacturers expect to reduce run
ming expenses, to reorganize the trade
and to promote friendlier relations be-
tween all concerned. They expressly
deny that prices will be advanced as a
result of the proposed agreement, but
contend that they are obliged to fol-
low the example of other men direct
ing other great industries and CO.
operate to prevent ruinous COMPETE
ton.
Thirty companies are interested in
the movement. They are said to con-
troll the industry in this country.
