DIPLOMATIC OPERA RourrE.

The little mock Court which Mrs. Domnis
the ex-Qneen of the Hawaiian Islands, has
established in Washington is one Of the anus
ing side-shows of current Diplomacy at the
Capital. When in the closing days Of the
Cleveland Administration Mrs. Dominis ar
rived. only to find the President on con-
venent duck-sbooting tour on the Carolina
coast. she brought with her modest encourage
consisting Of the over faithful Palmer who
bad gone to Honolulu the correspondent Of
a Boston paper, as her leading man; maid
dgnified by the quasi title OF lad yin waiting,
and Hawaiian Secretary, a good-looking
cofee-colored gentleman, who. in the glories Of
the monarchy, had been the Queens coachman
Mr.. Palmer did all the talking so far as the
public was concerned. mainly perhaps because
the cx-coacbman did not understand English,
the lady -in-wating was very modest and the
ex-Qneen very sly. In fact, she had had some
experience as to the effect of basty language
when she talked to Minister Willis about be.
heading the leaders of the revolution, would
Mr.. Cleveland only be so kind as to restore her
to power.
In spite Of the fact that Mrs. Domnis. &C.
cording to her Bostonian Secretary, was merely
travelling as q lady in private life. she sent

status quo ante restored; she does not care q
fig for the islands herself, only she does not
like to see more territory and more Cinnamon
pass under the dominion OF flag that she
does not regard IS very friendly. There is
reason to believe that the Minister spoke a
kindly word to the ex-Queen, and in his sly,
oriental Way gave her to understand that what
ever comfort she might receive from the hum
bled power of China, or from his very astute
personal advice. she could count upon.
But Liliuokalan hope rests with Japan.
This cockey little nation has really got the
big head, !" and fancies that it may reach out
and cover with its flag all the islands of the
North Pacific from Ounalaska to the equator.
The communicative Palmer has let drop as
much occasionally in disclosing the situation
with friends, and this shows plainly that the
ex-Qneen is not aiming at the restoration Of
her throne because Japan does not desire back
tho Kanaka Kings at Honolulu, but to get
there herself, and with her feet stand sentinel
over the Golden Gate and the future Nicaragua
canal.
THE JAPANESE SIDE OF THE CASE.
The Japanese Minister in Washington has
apparently not been oblivious to the fact that
his Government is playing a very deep game.
The Secretary of the Legation here has given
out an official statement defining the views of
his Government. From this il appears that
Japan denies that she has any designs upon
Hawaii. and would lead the casual observer
to infer that the thought of annexation had
never entered the brain Of the Minister of
Foreign Affairs for the Mikado. The Secretary
points out that they have about p, 600 people
in Hawaii of Japanese birth, who under ex-
listing treaties have the right to become citi-

this combination of circumstances has been
that the present treaty does not provide for
Mrs. Domins; and. indeed when she first came
here Secretary Palmer, in her behalf, stoutly
affirmed that Her Majesty wouid scorn to
take money" and that she lady OF am pie
means. In spite OF this, however, there is
ground for grave suspicion that the ambitions
of "tbe Queen are mercenary rather than
political. But this is only one scene to the
play.

Though the methods of diplomacy are pro-
verbally slow, this would hardly account for
the long delay in making the call, and the neat
coincidence.
The fact is that while China has kept in the
