ARRIVAL OF ~LlLlUokALANl.
Hawaii's Dethroned Queen Comes ia
the States Unexpectedly.

the States Unexpectedly.
The unexpected arrival at San Francisco
of eX-Queen L%iliuokalani from Honolulu
Thursday, caused much interest and gave
rise to n little speculation as to the object
of her visit. Her only attendants were a
man and a woman servant. Liliuokalani
'eclines I be interviewed and will give no
Information regarding the length of her
visit nor her future plans. Her fellow pas
sengers on the steamer gathered the idea
that she will 60 to Washington and call
upon President Cleveland, in the hope that
the United States will take some steps
looking to the restoration of the Hawaiian
monarchy. 1t is intimated by Col. McFar-
lane 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 monarchialE institu-
ton. Col. McFarlane said:
"She has not yet made me her confidanv,
but from her conversation l gather that
she will certainly visit Washington, and
possibly London. 1t is certain that her
trip is made in the interest of herself and
people. In a few days, the queen tells me,
she will make a statement of her plans to
the public.
Advices from Honolulu via the steamship
China, on which the queen came over, say
Annexation Club No. 2, of Honolulu, has
adopted resolutions declaring it is still the
earnest desire of Hawaiian residents to Sc
cure annexation to the United States, and
urging the Hawaiian government to press
the matter upon the consideration of tho
American congress.

'olNeLEY BILL TAKEN UP.
The Motion Was Carried by a Vote
Of So to d.

The Motion Was Carried by q Vote
OF 81 to II.
The senate on Thursday, by the decisive
vote of IS to 81, adopted a motion to take
up the Dingley bill. Unexpected and SUR
prising as this action was, it did not have
the significance which the vote itself ap-
pears to convey. Immediately following
it, Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, m Of
the Republican members of the finance
committee, moved to recOmmit the bill,
and this motion was pending when, at 2
O'Clock, the morning hour expired and the
entire matter collapsed as though no vote
had been taken.
Early in the day three sets of vigorous
resolutions for Cuban independence fur
nished an interesting feature. They zane
from Senator Cameron Of Pennsylvania,
Senator Mills of Texas and Senator Call Of
Florida. Senator Cameron resolution vas
the first introduced and read as follows:
"Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives, That the independence of
the republic of Cuba he and the same is
hereby acknowledged by the United States
of America.
"Rcsolved, That the United States should
use its friendly offices with the government
of Spain to bring to a close the war be.
tween Spain and Cuba"
Senator Mills, Democrat of Texas, fol.
lowed with this joint resolution:
"Resolved, That the president of the
United States is hereby directed to take
possession Of the island of Cuba with
the military and naval forces of the
United States and hold it until the peo-
pie of Cuba can organize a government
deriving powers from the consent of the
governed, and arm and equip such military
and naval forces as may be necessary to
secure them against foreign INVASION"
Senator Mills and Cameron's resolutions
were referred to the foreign relations COM
mittee.
Senator Call, Democrat of Florida,
offered a resolution, heretofore published,
recognizing the republic of Cuba. 1t went
to the table.

Woman Burned to death.

Mrs. E. o. Parker of Highmore met
with a terrible accident, which resulted in
her death. She was washing some ribbon,
and for this purpose had poured some gaso-
line into hot water. Near by stood an open
gasoline can, very near the stove, in which
was a hot fire. The gasoline was ignited
by the heat from the stove, and she was
nearly enveloped in flames before she was
aware of her perilous situation. Her
daughter Grace and son Ralph, aged II and
1arespectively, were also burned somewhat.
but not seriously.

THE CAUSE OF SUNBURN.

An English Scientist Says That It Is q Mat
ter of Colcr, Not Heat.
Sunburn is not caused by the heat
of the sun, as almost everybody
thinks. This is what DR.. BoWles,
an English scientist who has devoted
16 years to the study Of this particu-
lar subject, says. 1t is due to the
violet or ultra violet rays which
form part Of the suns gift to the
earth, which much resemble the <
rays in their power OF penetrating
tho human tissues,
DR.. BoWlcs gives it as his opinion
that sunburn, snowburn, snow blind
ness, 3urstrOko and sun fover may
all be associated with penetrating
light rays rather than the action Of
heat Very serious inflamnatory
changes arc often the result of sun
burn, and many SO callod summer
eruptions" arc duo to tho penetra-
ton of reflected luminous or photo
chemical rays to the doeper tissues
beneath tho skin. III ono bad case
which Dr. Bovlcs examined he no.
ticod that tho victim S face was not
only swollen and red, but deeply
pitted as we'll, and on examining
| these pits beneath @ magnifying
glass he found at the bottom of
each q frcciz!o. It was clear that in
each case tho frocklo had stopped
the action Of the rays which did the
mischief to tho tissues lying be-
meath.
This observation led tho way to
tho prevention Of tho sunburn by
tho use Of colorcl screens Somo of
tho doctor's5 frionl, in India report
ed to him that they had stopped all
risk from sunstrol1o by lining their
hats and clothes with an orange col
ored fabric. Dr. Bowlos states in
this connection that he knew Of a
oaso in which d lady who woro a
blouse with red and whito stripes
had rcd stripes printed on her shoul-
ders underneath the white, while
the skin boncath tho rcd stripes was
perfectly protected.
The most interesting part Of DR..
Bowlcs' report, as fur as tho general
public is concerned, is that which
rolates to tho prevention Of sunburn.
He says he found when climbing in
Switzerland that si1nburn often as
sumcd q very painful form, and
though all kinds Of remcdios were
