But it is a great mistake to say, as many

years before that the islands were visited

Now, the old royal line expired as

Bill and Kalalkaua, though of ancient

there was necessarily some lowering.of

New York, March 17.-GeneraI John
Watts Kearny. father of John Watts
Kearny. jr.. who escaped from the Brook
side Sanitarium, in North Plainfield, N.
j., on Sunday night, left with his bride
for Europe on the American liner St.
Louis yesterday. General Kearny was
married to Miss Elizabeth Montgomery
Harrison in charlottesville, Va, on Mon
day afternoon.
General Kearny spoke freely of his trou-
bic with his son and ascribed the present
difficulty to his sister, the Marquise de
kernal, who, he said, was influencing his
son in his course, and that everything
might be well but for her.
81 have always acted toward my son,
said General Kearny, 'as a father should.
In Europe I offered to spend two years
with him in a retreat, but he fought me
and refused. In other places where he
was put for his own good, L have paid lib
orally, so that he was we'll cared for. That
does not look like harsh treatment, does
it?
II think my son and could have agreed
well had it not been for his aunt. l have
| made many efforts to get him to reform
but uselessly so far
General Kearny said he and his bride
would travel in Egypt, Russia. Italy
| France England and Germany and would
| return here in September.
