LILIUOKALANI'S PLANS NOT YET
DEFINED.
j. o. Carter Says She May Go, but
From Other Sources 1t is Learned
She Will Go.

1t was learned on good authority
this morning that eX-Queen Liliuoka-
lani will leave for Washington about
the middle of November to press her
claims before Congress for remuner-
alton for the loss of her throne and
the revenue from the crown lands, for
which she feels that the people of the
United States owe her some pecunia-
ry compensation.
Upon being questioned on the sub
iect this afternoon j. o. Carter said:
"The Queen has not mentioned the
matter to me of late. At the time of
her return to the Islands she was
quoted as saying that she intended
to return to Washington in November
and l believe we had some talk about
lit. But nothing was decided then and
as far as | know nothing is settled
now. / know she will not leave foI
some weeks on account of some bust
ness matters in which ! am assisting
her What her plans are concerning
the trip to Washington she has not
mentioned to me yet, but of course
she may 60"
