COLONEL RETURNS.
Was Only a Little Be-
hind the Decision.
Macfarlane Pleased With the Re-
Sult-His Stay is Limi-
ted.

Col. George w. Macfarlane, owner of
on the o. & o. S. S. Gaelic last night.
When seen in his cottage at the Ha-
waiian Hotel, he wore very satisfied
expression, and when asked as to his
sentiments on the China case just end
ed, he replied that he was most graft
fed that matters had ended so favora-
bly, Asked regarding the rumor that
in case Of annexation the China would
nolulu only, he replied that such ru-
NOR had been spread in San Francisco,
but as TO there being any foundation to
such a story he could not say. Mr..
Schwerin of the P. NJ. and o. & o. S. S.
Cos. would come through on the Rio
de Janeiro, bound on tour of inspec-
ton of-the various agencies of the two
companies just mentioned. Undoubted-
ly he would be able to speak on the
matter.
Il shall be here about fortnight, -
said Mr. Macfarlane. Il would go be-
fore that time, but l have some i'm
portant business to transact with Mr..
Schwerin, and must remain over until
the Rio de Janeiro comes"
Asked in regard to the movements of
ex-Queen Liliuokalani, MIR. Macfarlane
replied:
Just before leaving 1 called upon
the Queen, and during the course of
our conversation, remarked that /
hoped to see her on my return from
Honolulu. She replied that it was her
intention to remain in San Francisco
but week longer, at the end of which
time she would proceed East, visiting
two or three cities on the way and
ending up at Washington. Julius
Palmer was not with the Queen.
"On the Friday before leaving the
pastor of the First Congregational
vitation to the Queen and her party to
attend divine service Sunday morning.
The Queen accepted the invitation, and
was asked to go along. Upon enter
ing and leaving the church the Hawai-
ian national anthem was played. The
Queen remained in the church after
the mornings services were over and
met the pastor of the church.
ITO show that women reporters are
not behind the times | might cite case
that came to my notice while standing
in the aisle. A bit of a bustling little
woman came up and, by dint of lodging
about here and there and asking ques-
lions all the while, succeeded in getting
the names of the whole party for the
Call. l made inquiries as to her identi-
ty and found that she was the mysteri-
Gus little woman who was never alb
sent one day during the trial of Dur
rant. You will remember that many
questions were asked about her and
theories as to her identity formed, but
all this, no one could
learn q thing as to her motive for be-
ing present. 1t seems that she was
correspondent for one of the Eastern
papers. Now she is on the Call
"On the day of my departure for Ho-
nolulu, the Queen. the Misses Parker,
Mr.. Samuel Parker, Mrs. r. BRENNAN.
Mrs. Lydia Davis and others, forming
quite little party of Hawaiians, went
to Del Monte" Monterey, on an in
vitation from the Southern Pacific
Company. General Warfield of the
California Hotel managed all affairs in
with the party. 1 was sorry
| could not go, but it was absolutely
necessary for me to leave that day."
