Has Not Even Thought OF Advocating
The Imaginary Throne.

Washington, D. c., Oc:. 22.-With ref
erence to the reports that the former
queen, Liliouokalani, formally dedicated
in favor Of her niece. Princess Kaiulani,
The ex-queen in person gave a respresen-
tative Of the Associated Press the fol-
lowing authorized statement:
There Is no truth in any report that
she had abdicated. No official action
had been taken during the meeting OF
Kaiulani with her. The question OF poll
tics did not pass their lips. Kaiulani
came from New York to see her aun
before going to San Francisco. and left
this afternoon for San Francisco, where
she will stay a week. Such reports are
spread by her enemies with a view to
injure her."
The foregoing was dictated by the ex-
queen. who requested, however. that it
be used in the third person.
