LONDON, Dec. 1O.-The conference at St

the reform of the fiscal policy of Great
Britain on protection lines and led by James
Lowther, NJ p, who presided, was thinly at
tended. Those present included Lord
Masham and Messrs. Howarth, Disrael,
Sandys and Scion Kerr, members of Parla-
ment.
Mr. Lowther, in long speech. stated that
there Is a rapidly increasing sentiment in
Great Britain that the national financial
policy is entirely wrong. The sultan of Tur-
key, he added, Is the only ruler under heaven
who has adopted the principles of the Golden
club Continuing, Mr.. Lowther remarked:
within year the two greatest republics or
the world have gone through remarkable
changes"
The speaker then referred to the high
character and great ability of President
elect Mckinley, saying: He would never
have occupied his present position had not
his name been associated with the most
radical protective tariff ever framed in the
United States, and the same can be said of NJ
Meline, the French premier" Mr.. Lowther
then mentioned the recent Canadian general

Canada was protection declared himself to

Joseph Howard moved resolutions in
favor OF changing the policy of the country
so as to secure unfailing food supplies with
secure markets for the manufacturers by
means of preferential trading relations
with all parts of the empire He said
preaching to English free traders is like
preaching to men in Saturn, and urged
meeting in the future to make it des-
perately uncomfortable for them, adding:
80 long as the workingman is under free
trade, there is nothing for an Englshman
but to dig his own grave with foreign
spade and be buried in a foreign coffin"
Many other speakers addressed the meet

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 10.--The unex-
pected arrival of ex-Queen Liliuokalani from
Honolulu today evoked mucA interest and
gave rise to no little speculation as to the
object of her trip. Her only attendants were
a man and woman servant and even her
San Francisco agent and former chamber
lain, Colonel George McFarlane, did not
know OF the ex-queen's arrival until he re-
Ceived a summons from her on the arrival
of the steamer. Liliuokalaui declines to
be interviewed and will give no inforna-
ton regarding 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 Presi-
dent Cleveland in the hope that the United
States will take some steps looking to the
restoration OF the Hawaiian monarchy. 1t is
intimated by Colonel McFarane that the eX-
queen, will represent to the president that
the Hawaiian republic has been a failure
and that the great majority OF the Hawaiian
people would welcome a return to the former
monarclical institutions. Biliuokalani has
been under the surveillance OF the Hawaiian
government ever since the last native ris-
ing until a few weeks ago, when she was
granted an unconditional pardon. She seems
to have taken advantage of the first oppor-
tunity thereafter to leave the island
The ex-queen was seen tonight but was
extremely reticent. To all questions 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 re-
ceved advces from his government, stating
that on tho morning Of her departure Lii
oukalan called on President Dole and in
formed him that she was going to Boston
to see relatives of her husband the late John
Dominis. Representatives of Hawaii in this
have been instructed to show the
ex- queen every courtesy while she is in the
