ENGLAND'S HAWAIIAN POLICY.
Secretary of Foreign Affairs Curzon
Refuses to Announce II to
Parliament.

London, June AIN the house OF COM
mons to-day the parliamentary secretary
for the foreign Office, Mr.. Curzon, replied
to the question of Mr.. Beckett, Conserva-
tive, regarding Hawaiian annexation. Mr.
Beckett's question was whether the gov
ernor was aware that Queen Liliuoka-
lani had been deposed by small body of
Americans, who, without right or title,
have assumed sovereignty over Hawaii, and
now to save themselves from the resent
ment of the people, have requested the.
American government to annex Hawaii
and whether Great Britain proposes to al
low this most important coaling station to
pass into the hands of the United States
without protest"
Mr. Curzon said her majesty's govern
rnent does not feel called upon to express
an opinion relative to the circumstances
out of which the present situation in
Hawaii had arisen. The government was
aware that proposal to annex Hawaii
to the United States had been submitted
by the president of the United States for
the consideration OF the United States but
no decision had been reached. Mr.. Curzon
added that IL would be the object of her
majesty's government to see that whatever
rights. according to international law, be-
long 10 Great Britain and to British SUBJ
jects are fully maintained.

ENJOY THE PRINCESS OF
WALES JUBILEE DINNER.
SHE VISITS MANY IN PERSON.
SENDS WORDS OF CHEER AND EN-
COURAGEMENT TO ALL.
Drinks to the Health of n Thousand
Ragged ChiIdFen-The Royal Par
ty Is Enthusiastically Re-
ceiyed at the Din
ners.

London, June A-The Princess Of Wales
JUkiiee dinners to the people to-day were
very successful. Thousands Of denizens Of
the slums were sumptuously entertained
at the various centers.
The princess, accompanied by the Prince
Of Wales, Princess Victoria of Wales and
Prince and Princess Charles of Denmark,
visited the principal halls.
The places visited by the royal party
were the Peoples palace, in the East end;
Central hall, Holborn and the Wesleyan
school house at Clerkenweu. At the Peo-
pies palace the royal visitors were re-
ceived by the lord mayor and the lady
mayoress. The guests consisted of a thou
sand ragged children. After the national
anthem had been sung the children were
served with good feast of roast beef, po-
tatoes. pies, jeIlies, oranges and ice cream.
Tho fare at other places was the same.
The Princess of Wales and her party re-
ceived an ovation everywhere.
The children at the Peoples palace were
all cripples. They were wheeled in bath
chairs, limped on crutches into the ban
quet hall or were carried in.
As soon as the royal party reached the
platform, two little cripples presented bou-
quest OF flowers 10 the Princess OF Wales
and to the 'ladE fhayoress. The scene was
an affecting one and nearly all eyes be-
came moist at sight of so many little suf-
ferers.
The Prince of Wales, in behalf OF the
princess, expressed the pleasure which it
afforded them in being able to bring some
degree of happiness TO the children. He
called for three cheers for the queen,
which were heartily given.
The members Of the royal party then
made a tour of the ball and, before leav-
ing, the princess took up a glass of ginger
ale which had been served to one of the
little cripples and emptied 1t to the health
of the children.
At the Central hail. HoIborn, 15.O 900 people,
young and old, partook of the banquet
served. As soon as the royal party en-
tered the hall, the food was apparently
all forgotten. all present stood up. and
cheer after cheer shook the building.
On making a tour OF the room, the Prtn-
cess OF Wales turned to an old Irish wom-
an and expressed the hope that she had
partalxeu of a good dinner. To this the old
woman replied, God bless you, dear" and
patted the princess on the shoulder.
The members OF the royal party shook
hands with and spoke encouraging words
to many ragged waits.
The same scenes were witnessed at Clerk
enwell.
This has emphatically been the Princess
of Wales day. and her idea of giving a
the greatest success. She was everywhere
received with enthusiasm. The day was
very hot and the princess wore a simple
white muslin dress.
At the Peoples palace the princess her.
self made the first block of ice cream with
dfen.
At the various adults feasts, II was first
decided not to allow beer to be served. but
the lady mayoress interceded. and all pres
