EMPLOYEES LIABILITY COMPANY


-
nnces-Now Questions Raised.
The greater part of Vice Chancellor
Pitney's time was taken up this morning
with the affairs Of the insolvent Ameri-
can Emyloyes' Libality Company.
Through his counsel, ex-Judge Garretson
Mr. Charles B. Thurston, temporary re-
ceiver of the company made application
for compensation for the work done. He
said in his petition that he was appoint
ed temporary receiver on February 81,
1895, and about the first thing he had to
do was to advance 81 800 to the insolvent
company At the same time Mr. w. D.
Edwards and several other lawyers APP
piled for an allowance for their services
as counsel in the case. After each had
paraded his services the Vice-Chaneelior
decided to allow Mr. Thurston $1,000 out
of which he must pay his counsel in New
York and New Jersey, and s4oO to each
counsel
Mr. Richard v. Lindabury, who was ap-
pointed permanent receiver. raised am
other question when this was disposed of.
The insolvent concern was Incorporated
in New Jersey but did business in other
States In Virginia it had to deposit
$40 900, and when it failed the creditors
received a dividend of forty-Six per cent
The question Mr. Lindabury wanted de-
clded was whether the Virgnians should
pc allowed to share in the general divi-
dend or be content with what they had
This question was argued ait length.

GRANTED AN AUDIENCE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-EX-Queen
Liliuokalani paid personal visit to
President Cleveland today. 1t was en-
tirely informal, and it was so des-
ignated in the note sent by the de-
posed monarch to the President re-
questing the privilege of calling, and
the answer of the latter in granting it.
She asked merely that he receiveher
informally in a personal capacity, bas-
ing the request on the ground that it
was a custom in her country for the
head of the Government to receive
foreign visitors of distinction. Shortly
after noon the President sent a note
to Mr.. Heliule appointing o'clock as
the hour he would be pleased to have
her call.
The meeting between the President
and the former Queen was eXtremly
cordial. Mr.. Cleveland, entering the
room, advanced with outstretched
hand, and as he grasped that of Lii
uokalani he eXclaimed: Il am very
glad you thought of calling on me.
The President invited the ex-Queen
and her companions to be seated, and
then entered into pleasant conversa-
ton with the former. They ,alked
about the death of Minister Willis, and
the ex-Queen spoke of him in words of
praise "Yes; another word, Mr..
Cleveland, he always filled whatever
position he held with credit to him
self and his country"
There was nothing said about her
restoration, but the ex-Queen took oc-
casion to thank the President for the
withdrawal of the annexation treaty
from the Senate, sent by Mr.. Harrison
four years ago.
In reply to question about Mrs
Cleveland's health the President re-
marked that she had been preparing
to go out before he went downstairs
He sent messenger who informed
him that Mrs. Cleveland had gone out
walking a few minutes before. These
things formed the bulk of conversa-
ton that was informal and personal
from beginning to end.
1t is believed that Liliuokalani will
remain until after the Inauguration of
President Mckinley. Her visit is sup
posed to be based on the hope that
the Government of the United States
will try TO secure a large pension for
her from the Government of Hawaii.
