On these occasions all knights have Alright to

uosed the Islands will be given bene-
FITS more nearly commensurate with
those enioyed by this country in the
free entry of its goods into the Islands.
Protests have reached the Senator from
business men of San Francisco. from
farmers who supply beets 10 factories
and from the State Grange. All of
these ne takes 70 indicate that it is
the belief of the majority OF Californi-
ans that the development of the beet
sugar industry of California viii come
ONLY through restrictions upon the free
entry of the product of Hawaii. The
amount OF trade San Francisco now
enjoys with the Islands. according 20
statements which have reached the
Senator. is not nearly so large as that
enjoyed by the producers of sugar, and
to equalize matters revision Of the
treaty along the lines he suggests he
believes is now absolutely necessary.
As Senator White indicated before he
went away that he favored the abro-
CATION Of the treaty, the stand Of Per-
kfns practically unites CALIFORNIA;
representatives in the Senate.
II have given this matter most
careful study since it first came up and
have watched the growing opposition
in the Senate TO it," said Perkins Il
believe that not only are majority of
the members of the Finance Commit
tee in favor of abrogation at the pres
ent time. but that large vote could be
secured for Nelson's resolution, should
II be reported from the Foreign Re
Iations Committee. / am informed
that all but two members OF the Cab
met favor the abrogation of this treaty,
in the belief that the advantages of 1T
accrue to Hawaii to much greater
extent than to this country. The 81
600 900 RENTED on sugar imports from
the Islands is greatly in excess of the
amount we should pay for the trade we
enjoy. We pay too dearly for our whis-
tie.
'I am convinced from the statements
of farmers that the amount of benefit
which would accrue TO them would
more than Justify our action in this
matter if it would result in the de-
yeIopment of the beet sugar industry
as seems to be the opinion of both
ranchers and business men. 1t would,
moreover. retain for us practically all
the trade we now enjoy, should we so
amend the treaty that the Hawaiian
producers would have a differential Of

private secretary, Capt. Julius Palm
er. seemed much distressed today
over a publication which purported to
set forth the actual reasons which had
brought the ex-queen to Washington
and kept her here week after week.
According to this story, which ap
parentIy emanated from the ex-queen
or her advisers direct. Mrs. Dominis
does not desire the Te-establishment Of
a monarchical government or seek her
own restoration to the throne. Her
mission to this city is to secure from
President Mckinley interference to the
extent that the manner in which the
Dole regime was placed in power shall
be pronounced illegal, by reason OF I'M
due activity on the part of Minister
Stevens and the crew OF the cruiser
Boston. and the ordering of new cleo
ton. free from indirect intimidation.
The publication further said that her
plans have been laid before the Presi-
dent in detail. and she is now awaiting
a reply as TO what action he will take
in response TO her request.
To a Star reporter this afternoon
Captain Palmer said that there was not
a single line or paragraph of truth IN
the whole story.
Il can say absolutely that no COM
munication making any such suggest
ion has ever passed from the queen 10
the White House. The queen has never
asked any such thing from this adj
ministration. though / am sure that
she would be only too glad to have the
people OF Hawaii settle by ballot the

in the islands. If there were gener-
n election. and her name headed one
ticket KaiIulani a second and Mr.. Dole
the third. Liliuokalani would be elect
ed by an overwhelming MAJORITY oil
immense majority"
eeVould she agree to run for presi-
dent. and. if so. would it not be
tacit admission of the legality of the
nreseut constitution and form of gov
ernment?'
81 think if the proposition were
broached she would be strongly urged
nv MANY of her friends and advisers to
accent the position She would do this
for the sake of her people. She is a
most charitable and considerate wo-
man. and would willingly sacrifice all
her own prospects and advantages for
the people she loves so well. We In
this country cannot realize the close
ness of the tie that exists between the
native of Hawaii and their native rui-
ers. She stands in the position OF pro-
tector and mother to her people. ana
would do anything in the world Tor
them. 1t has been said at times that
the queen is seeking q pension from
this country l heard the gracious
lady say that she did not come 10
America for money, did not want mon
ev. and would not accept it. | believe
myself that if she should ever agree to
accent a pension it would be to bene-
fit her people, and for no other rea-
son. and that every dollar she might
receive from this Government or from
Hawaii in the form of pension would
90 direct to those who are dependent
upon her bounty.

.JAPAN.S SIDE.

location In Washington Receives
Information ON Hawaii.
WASHINGTON. April 13.-The Jap
anese Legation has received telegraph
ic advices from official sources in reia-
ton to- the recent deportation from the
Hawaiian Islands of number of Jap
anese immigrants which do not agree
entirely in all details with the accounts
already published in this country. 1t
appears. according to these advices,
that out of Sos Japanese passengers
brought TO Honolulu by the steamer
Shinshiu Maru. 302 voluntary passen-
gers and 146 contract laborers were
sent back to Japan The Hawaiian au-
thorities refused to allow these people
to land on the ground that the yOlun-
tary passengers were not possessed or
$50 in gold each. as provided I'm the
landing law. and because the contract
Iaborers had not complied with the
provisions of the landing law in secur-
ing previous approval of their con-
tracts.
The passengers thereupon petitioned
the Supreme Court to set aside the de-
cision OF the Collector General of Gus
toms forbidding them to land, but the
Court rejected the petition on the
ground that the decision of the Collect
or General regarding the landing OF
aliens was final. and that Japanese not
vet landed in the Islands had no right
to petition.
The japanese Consul General pro-
tested against this action on the
ground that the exclusion of the vol
untary emigrants was in violation of
treaty rights. whatever might be the
case regarding the laborers and their
alleged failure to secure previous ap-
proyaI of their contracts. He himself
had personally examined into the facts
regarding the voluntary emigrants and
had found that they were all IN bona
fide possession of the amount OF money
required by law in such cases. SO RAJ
as they. at least. were concerned, the
decision Of the Collector General ap-
Deared TO be in violation both of law
and of the facts.
While il is true that one. not two
Japanese men-of-war. as stated IL
press dispatches. has been sent TO Ha'
wall. officials of the Japanese Legation
state most positively that this actor
has not been taken for the purpose o.
menacing the Hawaiian Government
hut simply to preserve order among th'
Japanese residents in the Islands, whC
. might possibly become excited by VIVA
they regard as a violation OF the rlght'
Of their cOuntTymen.
