QUEEN LII AT THE HUB.
She Passes Through Jersey City and Makes
u speech.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Liliuokalani,
eX-queen of the Hawaiian islands, ar
rived in Jersey City from the south at
lO:25 p. m. yesterday. A crowd of Gu
riouS persons was ut the station to
meet her, and when her private car
came to a stop in the Pennsylvania
railroad station they gathered close
around it in order to catch a glimpse
of the deposed queen. After u brief
interval the ex-queen appeared on the
platform of the car and addressed
those present, saying:
Il certainly have received a royal
reception. Americans are most cor
dial as q race"
Later, in conversation with a repre-
sentative of the United Associated
Presses, she said that she was no; here
on any political errand, and hat her
risit was purely a friendly one. She
further said that she did not know
whether she would later go to WASH
ington or not, as her plans are not ar
ranged for more than a month. II
will go to Boston," the ex-queen said,
Ito visit a cousin Of the uncle of my
late husband. He is Dir. William Lee,
of the firm of Lee & Shepard. L will
stay with the Lees for four weeks at
least, aud then L shall go wherever my
fancy dictates"
What about the annexation of Ha-
waii?' vas asked.
AT this point the former queen
seemed to forget her fluent English
and feigned not understand. When
the question was put again she was
equally dense and 1t was evident that
h annexation question was not to be
discussed by the deposed queen.
The interview over, the ex-queen,
her travelling companion, Z. Ii. Nance
lena, and her private secretary, Jo-
seph Hulehu!e, escorted by the passen-
ger agent OF the Southern railroad,
