STILL QUEEN OF HAWAII.
j. A. Palmer Says "LiiiuOkalani Re.
Sinn" Abdicatcd Under Duress.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-Julus A. Pal
mer, the representative of ex-Queen
Lliuokalani of Hawaii, in a card TO the
Evening Star to-day declares that the act
of abdication of the ex-Queen was procured
under duress and is void for this reason
and because OF legal informalities. He says
that the queen of Hawaii has never given
q legal abdication and is still the lawful
ruler, even if she forbears TO enforce her
legitimate rights" 1t is believed that
Llriokalani inspired the card. AT the Ha-
waiian legation ii was read with interest.
but without concern. and is there regarded
simply as an expression from a royalist
standpoint OF eventful episode in Ha-
waiian history. but as not at all likely TO
have any practical influence.
Mr.. Palmer's card was called forth as he
explains, by the publication I'm the Star re-
Gently Of the Queens abdication. He re-
fers to that document as "a brief drawn by
Hon. A. S. Hartwell, chief counsel for the
corporation OF sugar planters and lawyers

Price Of Rails StiHening.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 12.-At o'clock to-day
the Carnegie Steel Company announced
that the price OF steel rails stood at ST. to
SIS per ton. the stiffening in prices being
caused by the heavy demand. The slashing
of prices is still the principal topic in iron
and steel circles here, but it seems that the
Carnegie Company is now controlling the
price of rails. j. w. Gates. president Of the
Illinois Steel Company, who reported
to be on his way to Pittsburg to confer
with the Carnegie officials with a view TO
stopping the rate cutting, did not stop here
but went on TO New York. Mr.. Carnegie,
who was busily engaged at the company s
Offices. said that he had no information to
give out. 1t is estimated that the mills
have already booked sufficient orders to
keep them running steady for several
months to come, giving employment to
thousands of idle Workmen.

Price Put Tn Mt Chicago

CHICAGO. Feb. i2.-There was a sharp
rally in the price to-day quoted for steel
rails in Chicago. but aside from this there
was little change in the status of affairs
resulting from the collapse OF the great
Steel-rail Trust. In the absence OF Presi-
dent Gates, Vice President Palmer. of the
Illinois Steel Company. made this state
ment: Our price for rails to-day Is S2l
a ton In Chicago. We have booked con-
siderable tonnage, but have sold no rails
whatever at less than SIS a ton, Chicago.
We 40 not know what prices are being
made by other works"
The Carnegie Company also showed a dis
position TO let up, but the advance was al
most wholly in the Chicago market While
IL Is understood no sales were made in Chi
cago to-day. IL is known that rails could
not be bought of the Carnegie Company
to-day for less than SIS. an advance Of 81
over the dzy before.
