Hawaii's Representatives
Call on President.
Annexation is Manifestly the Right
to Provide for Com
mon Defence.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-A few
days ago proclamation" was issued
by Julius Palmer, chamberlain and ma
jor domo to ex-Queen Liliuokalani of
Hawaii, declaring that she never had
legally abdicated the throne and that
the abdication signed by her was ir-
regular, given under duress, and void
The paper of abdication signed by the
ex-Queen was drafted by General AL
fred S. Hartwell of Honolulu, who is
now in this city. General Hartwell,
when asked this afternoon for state
cation, replied:
Il drafted the ex-Queen's abdication
and jurat of allegiance to the Republic
of Hawaii and abjuration to the mon
archy under the following circum-
stances: Paul Neumann, her legal ad-
wiser, who came to Washington in the
winter of 1898, holding her power of at
torney; Samuel Parker, her late Prime
Minister, Hawaiian and Charles Will
son, the last marshal under the mon
archy, came to my Office the day OF her
arrest and told me that she had in
tended to abdicate before, but had de-
layed for Mr.. Widemann to talk it over
with her, and that they wanted me to
draw the paper. L told them that if /
drew it there would be no reading be-
tween the lines, and asked if she meant
it and approved of their coming to me.
They said she did and that was the
kind of document that was wanted. I
told them it would not prevent her
trial, which would soon come off. They
said they knew it and that her idea
was that things would settle down and
there would be no further trouble if
she would resign, and that this was
her object.
Il looked up such references to royal
as / could find, and drew
up the document, which Neumann,
Parker and Wilson examined and ap-
proved verbatim. Wilson took it TO
who proposed some tri-
vial change, which was made, and
second draft was drawn, which Will
son also submitted to her At her re-
quest another inconsiderable change
was made, and a third draft was pre-
pared which was submitted to her and
returned to me by Wilson, who in
formed me that it was exactly as she
wanted and that he desired a final
copy, which was made. The earlier
drafts, written in clear, conveyanceT's
hand by my assistant, are in his pos
session in Honolulu

Mr.. ]. F. Scott reported that he
had, according to instructions from the
board, investigated into the matter of
a primary school in Palama. He had
40 childreS over 6 years old in the
place just mentioned, and that he had
found the building near Palama
place just suited for school purposes,
could be obtained for a rental of SIS a
month, and that this building could be
fitted up for about $57.
Considerable discussion followed in
regard to the money side of the prop
osition, and it was finally voted, on
motion of Mr.. w. A. Bowen, that the
Deputy Inspectors report be accepted
and placed on file.
Mr.. Scott explained that he thought
certain of the rooms could be rented
and that the money obtained there
from might be all but sufficient to pay
the rent asked for the whole building.
Mr.. w. A Bowen presented the ap-
plication of Miss Sarah B. Wiler for a
from various places in the States,
where she had been employed as
teacher, were read. These proved most
satisfactory. Mr.. Bowen explained that
the application came through Miss Mel
lie Lowrey, who is acquainted with the
lady. The matter was referred to the
Teachers Committee.
At 4:30 d. m. the board went into
executive session to consider an i'm
portant matter.

Japanese Show UnwilIingnesS to
Return to Japan.

There came very nearly being a seri-
Gus time at the quarantine station yes
terday morning. Deputy Marshal
Hitchcock went out at o'clock and
ordered the transportation scow along
side the station pier. After this he
went over to the pens, and through an
interpreter, told the 134 Japanese men
and 80 women that they must prepare
themselves for the return trip to Jap
an, according to the decision of the
authorities. There was murmur, and
soon the japanese we're in rather
turbulent state. Rushing here and
there in the pens, they informed the
Deputy Marshal, through three or four
spokesmen, that they did not intend
going back TO Japan, and that they
would die before going a single step.
Then they thought a while and sent
word that it was their desire to see
Consul General Shimamura.
The Deputy Marshal returned to the
city, and later on, went to the quar-
antine station together with Minister
Cooper and a japanese interpreter.
The causes of the return were made
clear TO the Japanese, they were rea-
soned with on the uselessness and fool
ishness OF any show of hostility and it
was not long before they were quiet
and peaceful again.
Then came the packing and general
exodus to the scow which was wait
ing patiently to receive the rejected
Japanese. When they got aboard the
Coptic, they seemed quite pleased to
think that it was not the dark and
close hold Of the Sakura Maru they
would have to remain in. There was
no further demonstration on the part
of the Japanese.

Heinrich Lose, resident agent of the
New Zealand Insurance Company. In
speaking of the article which appeared
in an afternoon paper, he said:
Let me say that so far as Honolulu
ratings are concerned, the San Fran
cisco Board of Underwriters has neith-
er the direct control of nor the dictat-
ing of rates here. Honolulu, fortunate
~, has its own harmonious board, and
| think L voice the opinion Of the ma
iority of it's members when l say that
current rates are excessive, and, not
withstanding the article referred to,
they should, and L trust will, event
ually, be lowered.
Our Fire Department has grown
very efficient, besides, the water sup
ply of Honolulu is becoming more and
more abundant. Owing TO these facts,
l venture to say that Honolulu rates,
instead of going up will be material
Iy decreased in due course.
"The article in the Star, in the face
of existing exhorbitant rates, causes
no little uneasiness among property
owners, but let me assure you that [,
for one, will be willing to take risks
on buildings and contents at the low
rates.

Aqueduct will apparently have more
horses than is necessary, and it looks a
certainty that many entries will be

be that tracks will be widened wherever

Manager Barnie has signed his old

that he believes McMahon's arm has

and Scranton is well liked for place, so
Syracuse and Scranton ought to furnish
a spirited contest. All kinds of music

selected for the mill was Morris hall,
