LILUIOKALANI GETS ANXIOUS.
Writes the Treasury Department in
Behalf of Kaiulani.

EX-Queen Liliuokalani has written
a letter to the Treasury Department,
asking that the courtesies usually eN-
tended representatives of foreign
countries on landing in America be
granted the Princess. This means fa-
ciitation in the examination of bag
gage and the avoidance of delay IN
getting it through the custom house.
The Treasury Department postpon-
ed answering the letter, as Kaiulani
will not reach New York for a month
or more.
Leliuokalani made a repetition OF
the request last week. The Depart
ment will probably direct the Collec
tor of Customs at New York to show
the Princess the courtesy extended to
distinguished visitors, but not to rec
ognize that she has any official sta

SUICIDE OF A PHILADELPHIA
SEAMAN.
Confined in the "Ship's Brig" on Sc
rious Charge, He Hangs Himself
With Hammock Lashing.

Woolf a fourth class seaman on the
Philadelphia, disrated and confined OH
the brig on serious charge, commit
ted suicide last night by hanging him.
self with his hammock lashIng. His
lifeless body was found at an early
hour this morning, when the corporal
of the guard went in to inspect his
cell.
Woolf was ashore last Saturday
night, and drinking heavily. Late at
night he went aboard the German ship
Glade, then lying at the Irmgard
wharf, and lay down in the forecastle.
He created such disturbance there
that the sailors drove him out, and
chased him through the streets,
threatening to use violence if they
caught him. The matter was reported
the next morning to Captain Dyer of
the Philadelphia, who started an in
vestigation. Four sailors from the
Glade were taken aboard the cruiser
on Monday and positively identified
Woolf as the man, charging him with
nameless crime.
AS Captain Haeslop of the Glade was
anxious to go to sea, he refused TO
prosecute Woolf in the local courts.
Woolf had Zen guilty of disorderly
conduct and bringing disgrace upon
the ship, and sentenced him to five
days solitary confinement on breau
and water, at the same time reducing
his rating from first to fourth class.
Woolf was confined on Monday night.
This morning the corporal of the
guard visited Woolf's cell as usual. and
/ found the seaman's dead body dang
| ling from the bars. He had used his
hammock lashing, and was so deter
mined that, although his feet were on
the floor, he managed to strangle him
self. The body was cut down, and
the matter reported.
Captain Dyer said this morning that
| Wolf was undoubtedly insane. He
had acted peculiarly on several occa-
sions. The dead seaman was an Aus
trian by birth, about 35 years of age
and unmarried. He enlisted in the
service last November at San Francis
co, where he had previously found
employment as a sailor in scow schoon-
ers on the river and bays. He was
accounted good all round man
aboard ship, although he had only re-
Gently got into the first class.
The funeral will take place this af-
ternoon or tomorrow morning. and
1.-THE remains will be inferred with the
| full honors due to a seaman of his
| class.
