I'd boulevards incognito, to obtain
R,,,le rest after a long trip from WASH

ooohes and. with her secretary and
maid. walked to the line Oh puSses
and carriages and. choosing one OF the

Rut her majesty had heard much of

w truth. So with her companion by
her side and her secretary In position
20 renel all busybodes she took more
nretentious carriage shortly afterwards
and started on a tour or Inspection.
Unluckiy the report got abroad that
she was in the city, and a multitude OF
newspaper people swarmed about her
An bicycles and in carriages, striving by
Every possible means to induce her to
submit to an interview.
This sort of a reception rather amused
her. But as for talking. she only raised
her hands in horror at the thought of
having TO say something that would
appear in print.
Instead her secretary, Mr.. Heleluhc,
"a endeavored to pacify the interviewers
with promises Of granting them an aud
fence when they returned to the hotel.
He is a swarthy man, of medium
height, with thin features and the as
pect of a student But his blood is as
purely Hawaiian as the queens. and
her faithful companion, Mrs. WAIKIKI by
name, has the dark complexion of the
ISLAND races,

queen found time to grant an interview
She spoke enthusiastically of Chicago
and the beautiful sights she had wit
messed during her brief visit here, but
on all questions of political nature
. she would not consent to speak even
Z casually.

she began with a clear English accent
that scarcely suggested her foreign
birth, "and it is always a pleasure for
me to come here and see them Then
there are also many Americans who
were friends of my husband, and these
are very kind to me-
q Have you anything to say of the po-
v htical situation in Hawai?" was asked
u, no; nothing whatever" was the
queens reply. My visit here now has

me TO; and | can promise you 1 have
not said what has been attributed to
yme by some Of the papers"
" on for san Francisco.
Al o'clock the queen and her little
retlnue boarded the west-bound expi ess
Tor San Francisco at the Northwestern
uepot In an apparent effort to avoid
notice she wore two heavy black wells,
uespite the hot weather. Her gown.
also, was of the same somber hue. and
p'ne only color about her was a small
sprlg OF sweet peas she carried i'm her
