 Washington, Jan. 25.-Ex- Queen Li- luiokalani paid a personal visit to President Cleveland to-day The visit was entirely informal
 At 3 D. m. the eX-queen, Miss Kia Nahaolelena, her companion-in-w waiting, Joseph Heleluhe and Julius N. Palmer of Boston, drove up to the white house in cafriage and were immediately shown into the blue room. The ex- queen was tastefully dressed She walked with dignity across the lobby to the private corridor, her steps slight ly hesitating. The greeting between the president and the former queen was extremely cordial. MT. Cleveland entering the room advanced with out stretched hand, and as he grasped that of the ex-queen he exclaimed heartily:
 'I am glad you thought of calling on me-"
 The president asked the ex-queen and her companions to be seated, and then entered into a pleasant conversation
 with the former. They talked about
 the death of Minister Willis, and the eX-queen spoke of him in words of
 praise.
 Yes" answered MT, Cleveland, "he always filled whatever official position
 he occupied with credit to himself and his country"
 There was nothing said about the res toration, but Liluiokalani took occa- sion to thank the president for his
 withdrawal of the treaty of annexa- | tion sent to the senate by President
 Harrison four years ago. When Lilui- okalani inquired about Mrs. Cleveland S health the president remarked that she
 had been preparing to go out as he came down stairs, but he would ascer- l tain whether she was in or out He called a messenger, who informed him 1 that Mrs. Cleveland had gone out | walking a few minutes before. These | things formed the bulk of the conver- sation, which was informal and person.

 1 The call lasted fifteen minutes, and
 after making their adieus the ex-
 queen and her attendants went into
 the freezing atmosphere again and en- | tered their carriage. They were driv- 1 en immediately to the Shoreham, where | the party is stopping.
 ''The queen was received delightful | ly,'' said MT. Palmer to a reporter. 1 "IIer reception could not have been l pleasanter, and the president showed 1 himself to be a most agreeable and 1 kindly gentleman"

 been made for Liliuokanalis future
 movements He did not know how long she would remain in Washington. | This is the second time Iiluiokalani
 has seen President Cleveland. Ten ! years ago she accompanied the then Queen Kapeoiani, her sister-in-law, | and consort of King Kalaugau, on a visit to the United States They were
 received officially by Mir. Cleveland, 1 then serving his first term, and were shown many official courtesies while here.
 The ex-aueen, Miss Nahaoelena and i MT FIeleluhe attended noon day ser I vices at St. Johns Episcopal church l to-day. They walked the few blocks
 between the Shoreham and the church.
 It was very cold to-day and Liliuoka- lani spent most of her time indoors. | Although many persons sent thelf
 cards up to her apartments few only succeeded in seeing her. One of these
 was MT. Morgan, the treasurer of the
 United States. MT. Morgan is of high
 degree in the Masonic fraternity and came to pay his respects to the ex-
