A Princess passed IA few days here this week.
She was Kaiulani. heir prosumpttVe TO the
throne Of Hawaii before that throne was abol-
ishcd. She was accompanied by hcr fathor,
Archibald Scott Cleghorn, an English merchant
who punctuates every other sentence in CONVEX
sation with 81 am n Hawaiian, ana VINO

Every thhe q quocr.looking woman poked her

the Princess, and nine times out OF ten IL was
not she, for she had a suite OF rooms, where she
had her meals served, ami when she was not IN
Them she was out having n good time.
When a Sun reporter called on kaiulani sho
was in her rooms, and Mr.. Clcghorn headed Tho
reporter off to ~stipulate that not a word should
DO said to the Princess about politics.

princess kaiuleni left the Hawaiian Islands
on May 10, 1889, nearly eight and a half years
ago. Most of the time since she has been at

why do these Americans ask who she is and
what her pretcnsions are to the throne 2 They
should certainly know who she is and what her
rights to the throne arc, for when she was pro-
claimed heir to the throne the United States
and other great powers that have treaties with
Hawaii recognized her.
The Princess is the daughter Of Princess
Likelike and myself. Princess Likclike was the

cl the throne, and upon her accession Princess
Eaiulani was proclaimed heir TO the throne and
approved of by the House OF Mobiles and, asI
mentioned before. by all the great powers hav.
Ing treaties with u.s."
What are her chances Of getting 1t I"
ave arc not making any effort whatever to
get the throne" answered Mr.. Cleghorn em.
phaIically. THAT rests with the people. II an.
~nexation takes place, and / hope 1t will not. of
course, 1t will put an end to the throne. The
majority Of the people in Hawaii do not favor
annexation. I've lived there since l was two
years old. l am. In fact. a Hawaiian, and l know.
1t Is IL olcss TO zee what Senator So and So says,
or senator this, that, or the other thinks

tahc a vote of the natives and foreign
crs on the Islands, and you'd very soon hnd out
good many planters favor it, and, the present
Government came into power pledged to take
that ST md, but the majority OF natives and
foreigners oppose 1t. l don SEQ why the I'm ted
States want to annex ne. for this country has
always looked on America as our best friend,
and hope that she will continue SO.

The Princess, is both picturesque and pretty.
