PRESS AGENT PALMER AND HIS
FAKE STORY.
Said to Be an Advertising Scheme,
Pure and Simple-Idea Worthy of a
One-Night Stand Actress.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Her Tinsel
Majesty, ex-Queen Lii, has developed
an unsuspected proclivity for humor
since her arrival in this city. After
her formal call on the President and
the little episode with Mrs. Cleveland
which attended it, had been dismissed
from the public mind, Mrs. Dominis
apparently cast about for other means
to secure free advertising in the news
papers. She translated several alleged
songs of the late King Kalakaua and
for the benefit of casual callers. Then
sang them to weird airs of her own
she took to writing verses on her own
account and gave then, to the tuf:-
hunting Young ladies Of the capital
! city to place in their autograph al
buns. Then she at ended church and
sat in the Presidents pew. Next she
intrigued for an invita- on to one Of
Mrs. Cleveland's nigh teas and uueN
pectedly found herself once more in
high official society.
All these things. however. faded to
bring her the notorietv wEich her
sable majesty is thought 10 have
craved. Then Press Agent and Cham
berlain Palmer hit upon an idea wor-
| thy of one-night stand actress. 1t
was announced a day or two ago IN
f,.t., ia,
/ that a plot to assassinate the eX-
/ Queen by introducing poison into her
drink had been providentially discov-
cred, and, singularly enough, on the
same day. it is said, messages were re-
ceived by the eS-Queen from Pittsburg
and San Francisco warning her that
emissaries of the present Hawaiian
| Government were dogging her royal
! footsteps with the intention to do her
! great bodily harm.
These startling statements were
given out in fragments by Press Agent
,'almer. To-day Mrs. Bominis removed
her august presence and things from
the Shoreham hotel to an apartment
house in the fashionable quarter of the
city. where she has established perma-
nent headquarters. Through Press
Agent Palmer it is further learned
that. no later than this morning. an
other blood-curdling message was re-
ware of assassins.
Mr.. Palmer today called at the
White House and formally notified Pri-
vate Secretary Thurber of the removal
of Her Majesty and of the further fact
that hereafter she would be at home
only to her great and good friend, G.
Cleveland. and the members of his i'm
mediate family.
Heretofore there has been some
doubt as to whether Mrs. Domins was
preparing to spring a new patent med.
icine on the public or was only train
ing for the stage. 1t is now becoming
apparent that she has deeper scheme
in view. Ever since her arrival she has

position. The real animus of her pro
ceedings is believed to lie in IA well
, conceived plan to compel the Presiden
to give her such recognition as viii
enable her to place claim with tn,
next administration based on her re
, moval from the throne by alleged
American influence. The royal bee il
still buzzing loudly in her ladyship's
bonnet, and she is determined, if per
, sistence and nerve can accomplish it
to dragoon this Government into re
storing her to her former job in lIa
waii, or paying her fat indemnity fol
the loss of it. Everybody believes thii
idea is preposterous except Queen Ii
herself. Her announcement that sh,
has established permanent headquart
ers at her new residence in Washing
ton is evidence that she is here for
: long campaign, and among all the EN-
/ barassments which threaten the in
