CHIEF PARIS sERExADED.
4 Surprise Tenedlered Him by Visiting
Reading Ffremen.

Chief Joseph Paris of the District fire
department was made the recipient of
most pleasant surprise Yesterday afternoon.
The volunteer fremen from Reading,
Pa, who were visiting the city, ac-
companied by band, thought it would be
appropriate to pay their respects to Chief
Paris in the shape of serenade, but
knowing the chiefs modest nature and his
reluctance at being made central object
of interest, were at a loss to find means
of accomplishing their desires. DIR. ]. Wal
ter Drew, the druggist. came to their as
sistalce. Chief Paris is a great friend Of
the doctor, and when he received teie-
phone message yesterday from him stating
that important business required the chiefs
attendance at the doctors drug store at
the Ebbitt House at 3:l5 o'clock pm. he
responded. DIR. Drew kept the fireman in
tcrested until drum tap was heard on
1Ith street. and then led him out on the
Ebbitt porch on that street. The chief was
aStonished to see a crowd of Reading VOL
unteeTs and their band drawn UP. Dr.
Drew opened proceedings by introducing
Chief Paris as the greatest fire chief the
world has ever seen"
There were cheers. and Mr.. Hegermann
of Reading made remarks complimentary
to Mr.. Paris. Then Chief Joe made a lit
tie speech. and the band was given a
chance. There were refreshments served
and afterward the entire party accepted
the invitation of the manager of the mov-
ing pictures at Willard Hall to view the
exhibition.

HAWAIIAN ROYALISTS DIVIDED.
One Faction FavOrs LiliuOkalanf and
the Other Princess kniulani.

One Faction FavOrs LiliuOkalanf and
the Other Princess kaiulani.
special to the New York Herald from
Honolulu says: There is discord in the
ranks of the leading royalists of Hawaii.
1t matters little just now whether they ere
united or divided, but in case of defeat
of annexation 1t has been intended by the
leaders of the monarchical party to make
a powerful effort to put n queen on the
Hawaiian throne. I am obliged to say
queen. instead of the queen. because there
has long ben brewing a conspiracy to ig-
more former Queen Liliuokalani and make
Princess Kaiulani the royal pretender.
Recently this movement has grown to
such proportions that the royalist camp
is now in confusion over the claims made
to the throne by both pretenders. In this,
as in all other political movements here,
only few natives are consulted and none
will have an appreciate influence. No
matter who may be the nominal head of
the government. the Caucasian minority
will be the real rulers.
The real dispute among the royalists just
now is factonal. Certain men who have
years know they would get few offices and
have little power If Kaiulanfs friends did
succeed in putting her the throne.
Naturally they are furious at the scheme
to set aside Her Majesty" as they call
Mrs. Dominis. 1t is expected that Princess
Kaiulani will arrive here before December
and her supporters will try to work up
boom for her for in case the annexa-
ton treaty is not ratified.

the line "A. T. Cleghorn, daughter and
