SIR JULIE TELLS LIES.
Presents OfficiaI Statement Regarding
the AbdicatIon Document.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE SUMS
Washington special says: When Her
Majesty Liliuokalani, ex-Queen of the
Hawaiian Islands, appeared in Washing
ton three weeks ago and drove her
great and good FRIEND Grover Cleve-
land, to the fishing grounds of Virginia
she had driven him a few weeks ago
to the hunting grounds of South Caro-
lima to escape her, it was then believed
that she came on some political errand
The President could not escape her,
and she evidently intends to remain here
until the new President is inaugurated.
The eX-Queen has not been outside of
her room except to visit the White
House and go TO church. She has not
seen the Capitol or other public build
ings, but she is very busy about some
thing. Her secretary or chamberlain, or
whatever his title may be, julius Pal
mer, today dropped a very strong hint
that Her Majesty, as he refers to her
except when he refers TO her as the
Queen is in Washington on political
BUSINESS. This information was drawn
out by the publication in evening
paper of the letter of abdication dated
January p, 1895, in connection with the
statement that the real object OF the eX-
Queens visit TO Washington has not be-
come apparent Secretary Palmer de-
clares the letter OF abdicatiOn was a
fraud that there is no such person as
''Liliuokalani DOminiS" who was COM
PEELED by force to resign, and he speaks
with authority la disaVowing the legal
force and effect of the alleged letter Of
abdication.
This is not worth the paper il is writ
ten upon and it would never stand in
court of equity. She was cOerced into
signing it, he says, and he characteriZes
those who Were responsible for the is
suing OF the letters as ''ScOundrelS, de-
ceivers, Monsters etc.
Then Mr.. Palmer prepared the follow
ing official statement: The presence of
Her Majesty, LiliuOkalani of Hawaii,
in this city has excited universal sym
pathy from all classes. OF this fact there
can be not the least doubt. 1t is as
grateful to American it is

Republic.

Speaking of annexation, Secretary Pal
mer said: Annexation, temporarily sus-
pended by President Cleveland, is now
dead forever. for there is no escape from
one of two positions. First, the 10000
native voters, now disfranchised by a
minory, that by official statistics in 1893
numbered 6S7, will be allowed to resume
the suffrage; second, the 10000 native
voters will be still denied the right of ex-
preston of their will at the ballot box.
They will be held down by manacle and

Good Suggestion.

It would be well for many of the
people who are given to worrying
to pay heed to a story of Cromwell S
time said to be absolutely true.
The protector was sending a spe-
cial envoy to Sweden in the person
of Bushrod Whitelock, a most de-
vout man, but one Of an extremely
nervous, anxious temperament. AS
the ambassador was about to en-
bark on his journey, he was de-
tanned at Harwich by a storm. He
was SO troubled with the affairs of
the nation that he tossed, turned
and groaned in his bed, unable to get
to sleep.
At last his confidential servant,
who had won Whitelock's respect
and confidence through his faithful
ness and good sense on many try
ing occasion, ventured to say, Pray.
sir, will you give me leave to ask
you question:"
Certainly was the answer.
10 you THINK tnaI goa governed
the world very well before you
came into it?'
Undoubtedly I do" said White
lock.
q "And," continued the servant,
do you not think he will govern it
quite as well when you are gone
out of it2"
ITO be sure he will, responded
the master promptly.
"Then, sir, excuse me, but may
you not trust him to govern it the
little while you are to live in it?"
Whitelock made no reply to this
pertinent question, but he turned
over and was soon asleep, and on
his return he repeated the story of
this bit of advice with much appre-
citation. Youth Companion.

it was something which had been ex-

action will be finally taken is not yet
