With the retirement of Judge Car

of the judges who were disqualified.

That Judge Carter intended to re-

Laws and Fred Smith Help Rescue

Auditor General II. Laws of the Ha-

senger and Ticket Agent Fred c. Smith
of the Oahu railway, were passengers
on the Mariposa today, returning
from pleasant vacation spent with
friends and relatives in the States
Both gentlemen are glad to be back
and were kept busy explaining to
their friends how they happened to
come back safe and sound. Mr.. Laws
was in two disastrous railroad smash
ups and Mr.. Smith was fortunate to
miss the fatal Rio Grande train which
was demolished at Newcastle, Colo.
In the Santa Fe wreck which oc-
Cured in the East, Mr.. Laws escaped
without a scratch. but he lost all his
baggage. He was not able to recog-
nize particle of his baggage which
had been stored in the baggage car.
Going on to Denver, Colo, he board
ed the Rio Grande passenger train No.
/, on September .. On the following
day the train was running one hour
late and was going at high rate of
speed, when it collided with a Mid
land stock special, one and one-half
miles west of Newcastle. Both trains
were badly demolished and the debris
at once caught fire.
About thirty persons pershed In
the wreck and about twenty were Sc
riously injured. Mr.. Laws worked for
many b Iurs in rescuing the unfortu-
nate passengers who were held fast
underneath the wreck. Mangled bod
les were taken from the burning mass
during the dark hours of the night.
The collision occurred shortly after
midnight.
Mr. Smith arrived at Newcastle on
the train following, some twelve hours
after the wreck. He went directly to
the scene of the catastrophe and Of
fered his services. 1t was there he
met Mr.. Laws. The two came on to
San Francisco on the first train that
came through.
The cause of the wreck was due to
the carelessness of the train crew of
the stock special. The conductor and
engineer have been placed under ar

LILIUOKALANI WILL NOT GIVE
U HER FIGHT.
Says She Would Not Disregard the
Wishes of the Hawaiian People-She
will Not Combine With Kaiulani.

Ex-Queen Liliuokalani declares that
she has no intention of abandoning
her hopes of the Hawaiian throne, nor
has she entered into or contemplated
any plan whereby she would relin-
qush to her niece, the Princess Kaiu-
lani, the least of her own chances OF
being restored to power.
Her eX-Majesty is exercised and dis
tressed over the unwarranted state
ments made and inferences drawn by
representatives of two San Francisco
journals, by whom it was suggested
that she had practically retired from
the fight, would pool her chances with
those of Princess Kaiulani, and hope
for "A respectable pension on which to
maintain her digh,y during future
residence in Hawaii.
Lliuokalani read over, approved and
endorsed the following statement, as
written by her private secretary and
man of lesser affairs, j. Heleluhe, who
is the regularly authorized commits
sioner in this country of the two
great native Hawaiian patriotic and
royalisf societies:
San Francisco, Sept. Is, 1897.
Editor Call:-Sir: In the EXamin-
er and the Chronicle of the 18th inst.
1 notice some reference to the -doings
of Queen Liliuokalani that call Tor an
answer from one who thinks he knows
more of the movements of the Queen
that the writer's of those articles. Both
papers assume and say that the Queen
and her followers have abandoned all
hope of her restoration to the throne,
and that the Queen has planned with
her niece, the Princess Kaiulani, that,
failing annexation, the Princess is to
ascend the throne. Allow me to say,
sir, that from the best of my knowl-
edge the Queen has entered into no
such plans, and the publication of
such without denial would perhaps
mislead her people who remain true
and loyal to her.
1.-The Queen has not ceased, from her
| arrival in this country, to point out
to the American Government the gross
outrage committed upon her and her
people by the dethronement by lit
tie clique assisted by American arms,
and one of her last acts before leav-
| ing Washington to come here was to
present to President Mckinley various
| against annexation and asking for a
restoration of their beloved Queen.
Yours very truly.
81. HELELUHE."
"In one sense" said the eX-Queen, 81
consider myself the servant of the Ha-
waiian people. They love me. L re-
spect their wishes and will not disre-
| gard them"
