PALMER'S IDLE WORDS.
Liliuokalani'S Chamberlain Declare'
to Be Mistaken.

Liliuokalani's Chamberlain Declared
to Be Mistaken.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-On the
reference to the authorized statement
given out that ex-Queen Liliuokalani
does not consider her abdication as
binding, prominent Hawaiian says:
II venture to suggest that the
Queens Chamberlain. Mr.. Palmer. in
his letter puts number of highly re-
spectacle gentlemen of Hawaii in a
rather embarrassing position. VIM.
G.. Irwin is the leading banker and
large sugar planter, and Mr.. Irwin was
one of the Queens Cabinet, an old
resident, a man of wealth and stand
ing; Mr. Parker is also one of her
eX-Cabinet and one of the most prom
inent leaders Of the native HawaiianS,
and the other three who certify TO her
act of abdication are well-known cit
izens and her active partisans. These
gentlemen certify that the act was
considered carefully and deliberately
by Liliuokalani and that it was her
free act and deed
"Mr. Palmer is unfortunate in his
citation of the historian, Professor
Alexander, for IN the genealogical ia
BILE referred to in his History of the
Hawaiian People SO far from showing
that Liliuokalani is descended from
the ruling family in Hawaii he
makes it clear that the Queen has not
a drop of Kamehameha blood in her
veins. She derives all the claim she
has to the throne from a vote of the
Legislature and the liberal constitu-
ton 10 years ago mot a hundred
years or sol, and in attempting to
overthrow this same constitution she
lost her CROWN

OF the general list.
Soon after the opening Union Pacific de-
veloped heaviness, and on sales, princi-
pally by Washington houses, the stock
fell nearly 2 per cent to Z. The weakness
of the stock was due to the belief that
the funding bill will be defeated.
The unfavorabIe statement of the st.
Paul for the first two weeks of January,
and the advance in the postal rate for
sixty-1ay exchange 70 4S5 also had an adj
verse influence on the market.

preston upon the public at the recent hi
cycle races. will prove a drawing card.
He has become a great fayorite with the
lady patrons, and they have started the
movement to change his SOubrlquet TO the
stHandsoHe Swede."
His ability as a skater now ranks with
Iis prowess as a professional bicycle rider.
His friends argue that he will make much
better showing here On the ice than he did
last week in New York against tie cham
pion, for tile reason that he was then in no
condition to match Donoghue, having just
finished the great siX-day bicycle contest.
He has now become lmbered up and will
''cut some ice' and give the champions a
run for their money.
