Princess Kaiulari, who would some
day be queen of the Sandwich islands
if Tx republicans over there would not
insist on governing themselves, is now
living in the Island Of Jersey. and is
grown UP to be a very beautiful youn g
woman. Every letter of the name
has it's value-as is the rule with ali
Kanakan words-and as the voweIs
are given the continental pronunci2-
ton the princess name when correctly
spoken is rendered as if it were spelled
"kah-9a- -lah-nee." This young
lady has many charms CT person and
mild. She is the daughter CT The
Princess Liki-Liki, who was the sis
ter of Liliuokalani and of the late
King Kalakaua. Princess Liki-Liki is
dead, and her daughter is therefore the
heir apparent to the throne at Homo
lulu, which was so rudely broken up
by the revolutiOnists few years ago.
Her father, Mr.. CleghoTn, an English
man, whose home is in the charming
lio,le island of Jersey, near England,
was cnce d resident in the beautiful
islands of the Pacific and loved and
married Liki-Liki. Hence, the
young princess is not a full-blooded
Kanaka, but she possesses enough of
the color and features of that race to
make her much more interesting than
a. mere white princess. While she
was in America Kaiulani was the re-
cipie.t of many public honors. That
was four years ago, and she was Their
only girl. Some Americans made
great show of sympathy for the girl,
and said it was a shame not to permit
her to rule oar "her people even
though her people did not look at that
matter in that light. Others, while
sorry that the princess would not be al
lowed to live 50 pleasantly. did not
honor her on account of her royal
blood. Ex-Queen Lii is now on a
visit to her friends and relations in

Three Prisoners Escape Right
Through the Building.

Minneapolis, Jan. 8.-There was a
surprising Jail delivery from Hennepin
county's new Jail, located ON the top
floor of the recently completed court
house building. Owing to the fact
that the Jail is 100 feet above the
and the only possible exit is down
through the building, escapes were
supposed to be impossible and conse-
quently the cage was LuiIt of soft
steel. Three prisoners sawed their
way out. They were John Quinn,
19-year-old highwayman; Frank Frost,
charged with holding up a street car,
and Mickey Ryder, accused of forgery.
They took out pane of the skylight,
crawled into the attic loft and made
their way down through the building
unobserved.

GOLD MEN CELEBRATE.
JACKSON DAY OBSERVED BY
YELLOW METALLISTS.
Henry Watterson Makes the Principal
Speech-Grover Cleveland Sends
a Letter OF Regret.

Chicago, Jan. Representative of
the gold democrats of Illinois and
other states Of the middle west, north
west and south, met at the Auditorium
last night for the purpose of celebraI-
ing Jackson Day. Fully five hundred
men were present and the banQue. IN
many respects was notable affair of
its kind. Letters were received from
President Cleveland, Secretary Morton.
and Senator John NJ. Palmer and
large number of democrats through
out the country sent either through the
mail Or over the wire, messages eX-
pressive of regret at the inability of
the sender to be present in person and
sent words indicative of utmost con-
fidence in the future of the branch of
the democratic party which had de-
clared itself against free silver.
Franklin MacVeagh was POSTMASTER.
Henry Watterson, the guest of honor,
made an address On the Future of the
Democracy. Hugh Ryan represented
Wisconsin. Cleveland's letter was as
follows:
Executive Mansion, Washington.
Jan. 4, 1S97-F'ranklin MacVeagh
Chairman, etc, Chicago. My Dear
Sir:-I regret that official duties pre-
vent my acceptance of the invitation
that | have received on behalf of the
national democrats of the middle
states to attend their Jackson day
banquet on January 8. When passion
and prejudice threaten to obscure the
meaning of true democracy and prevent
its patriotic purposes, a reunion of
those who are democrats for the sake
Of principle and the good of their
country cannot fail to be inspiring and
useful. On an occasion when the
character and achievements Of Andrew
jackson are commemOrated old
landmarks of the democratic faith
should be distinctly pointed out. At
such a time it should be impressively
taught that democracy is not in disor-
der; that its regard for popular rights
does not mean the care of only a por-
ton of our people; that it's loyalty to
the constitution and law does not
mean petulant challenge of the duty
Of servile obedience; that its ag-
gTessiveness does not mean class
hatred and sectional vituperatlon; AMI
that success should never mean mere
PARTISAN triumphs, at the sacrifice of
principle and patriotism. Yours very
truly,
Grover Cleveland ;"

DEPEW'S WARD WEEDS A TURK.
Edith Lyman Collins Is now the Wife
Of Rechid Bey


Paris, Jan. S.-Miss Edith Lyman
Collins, the only daughter of Mr.. Clar-
ence Lyman Collins of New York. and
ward of DR.. Chauncey NJ. DepeW. was
married yesterday at the church Of
St. Germain-L' Auxerrois, to Rechid
Bey, Count Czaykowski, councillor of
the Turkish embassy at Rome. A
story which gained general credence
for long time and was widely circu-
lated reported that Miss Collins was
the fiancee of Mr.. Depew. The story
was promptly denied by the young
lady, but Mr.. Depew declined for a
long time to say whether the report
were correct or not. She is very
handsome woman and has Travelled ex-
tensively. She was a guest at the
home of the Prince and Princess of
Demidoff on the occasion of the mar
riage of their son.
Miss Collins father, Clarence Lyman
Collins, is an importer. Like Mr.. De-
pew, Mr.. Collins can tell good story.
His collection has not as yet, however,

broadcast. He belongs to few New
York clubs.
Clarence Lyman Collins married in
or about 1870 Miss Lulu Clark. She
had a handsome fortune, which came
to her from her mother, who was
daughter of Commodore Vanderbilt.
This has gone to her daughter, Miss
EDITH Collins, who was the only child
and whose fortune is estimated at $3,-
100000. The genial Clarence Collins
had been a widower a few years be-
fore he married a second time. His
bride was Miss Delba Beecher, VINO
was, it is said, for a brief period at
least, on the stage. She is charm
ing woman and her stepl1ughter IS
devoted to her. Sojourners at foreign
places have frequently remarked the
happiness of the Collins family party,
which often included Dr.. Clancy NJ.
Depew. 1t was during one of these
visits that Miss Collins met Rechil
Bey.

What action the government will

subject. 1t is believed it is the inten-
ton to take some steps looking to a
settlement, in the courts if necessary
of this long pending and vexed ques-
tion. According to the treasury fig
ures of January l the net emOunt due

cipal of which was s64 ,623, 512. In ad-
dition to the amount owing to the
United States the companies under au-
thority granted by the act of 1864 is
sued bonds amounting to $64, 613, 900
which since have by act Of congress
become a first lien on the roads.
After the funding bill was
disposed of the army appropri-
ations bill and several other
bills were passed. The army bill car
ried $23, 1875, 344, $155, 558 less than fol

METROPOLITAN RAILWAY BILL.
Senators Trying to Recall 1t From
the President

There is an interesting muddle concern
ing the Metropolitan Railway extension
bill This was a House bill which passed
the Senate and after some controversy
in conference was agreed upon and went
TO the President. Yesterday senator Allen
and Senator Hill! undertook to recall it from
the President. a resolution passed the
Senate for that purpose. but it was after
wards discovered that IL was simply a
Senate resolution and not a joint resolu-
ton. and of course the officials at the
Executive Mansion did not recognize it
as authoritative, so the bill is still III the
hands OF the President.
This morning Senator Allen will under
take to pass a concurrent resolution, but
as this must run the gantlct of The House
il is deemed altogether probable that the
Metropolitan bill will remain in the hands
of the President and that the proposal Of
reconsideration will he blocked
1t is understood that Senator Allen in
tended to move an amendment proyiding
that the Metropolitan Company should re-
employ the conductors and drivers who

The Postoffice Appropriation Meas
ure Has the Right of Way

The Indian appropriation bill was the

Mr.. Vest moved to strike out from the
committee amendment as to the COM
mission that part OF it directing the COM
mission TO set apart lands upon which any
town is now located in the Indian Terri
tory, TO provide for the further growth Of
such towns, and to allot all other lands in
the Indian Territory, belonging to the
ChickasawS, thoctaws, Cherokees, Greeks,
and seminoles; also to strike out the clause
requiring acts OF the council of either OF
those tribes to be submitted for approval
to the Prcsi lent OF the United States.
Mr.. Pettigrew, in charge of the bin,

ANIMALS FOR THE PARK
Prof. Langley Asks for Authority
to Purchase Them.
JUDGE SAVERS OPPOSED 1T
The Item, Eliminated by the House,
Was Restored in the Senate-Ef-
fort to Be Made to Secure Indorse-
ment by the Conferees Purpose
of the Provision.

The Geological Park, against the estab-
lishment OF which as a national institution
there has been considerable opposition
from time to time, is again having ba d luck
before Congress, according TO reports and
what should become a great object lesson
in natural history is again the victim of the
economical pruning knife.
When Prof Langley, of the Smithsonian
Institution, made up his estimates for his
expense account for the ensuing year he
included an item "for the purchase and
transportation of animals the object of
which, apparent. That part of the clause
which authorized the purchase of ami
mails was stricken out in the House. | is
understood the action was taken upon the
motion Of Judge Savers, of Texas, who is
said to be not favorably inclined to " a d the
Zoo.
When the appropriation bill reached the
Senate the eliminated clause was rest OF ed
and it VIII LOW come before the difference
committee, the House memheIs of which
are AeSSTS. Cannon, sayers and w. A.
Stone. Fearful for the fate Of the TEN
when II reaches the COnfeIees, tie friends
OF the park went to Prof. Langley yes
terday and asked him TO strengthen the
chances by writing out his reasons in de-
tail for requesting the appropriation TO
be made.
1t is said he at first declined 10 do so,
feeling that his estimates, which were
carefully considered before their presen-
tation TO Congress should need no backing
up. He finally consented, however, and
W. lot IN,
matter at considerable length. II is loEod
hy the advocates OF the measure that
his views will have sufficient weight to
prevent the defeat of the item in question.
1t is the intention of the managers of the
Zoo to use discretionary power in adding
to the collection of animals at the park,
purchasing only such desirable specimens
as may be obtained at small cost 1t
cannot be expected, they say, that the
stock viii receive very many valuable
additions by gift. Donations have been
rcCeiN ed from tine to time OF very good
specimens, but it is claimed that years
must elapse before the supply can be in
creased 10 Il creditable degree.
1t often occurs that animals can be pur-
chased at less than half the original cost,
and Prof. Langley asks for legislation
that VIII empower him to buy a limited
number OF such rare specimens as may lie
offered.
The item objected to by Judge Savers
is not for specific appropriation, but is
included in a list for which an aggregate
amount is asked and therefore does not
increase that aggregate, nor will its omis
sion diminish IT. 1t is the hope of those
concerned in the item, and they are mum
erous, that the conferees WIZ permit the
Senate amendment TO 20 through.

To Restrict Gambling Dispatches

The House Committee on judiciary yes
terday fayorably reported a bill which
makes it misdemeanor for any person TO
transmit by any telegraph or telephone
