There are others-and they may be
citizenesses-who forswear their
crown Of womanhood. But there be
men of kindlier nature, and Liliu-

OF Robert Louis Stevenson's tender
sympathy. "We sat without speak

last interview, "At last, said, 'We
have been making history, you and

eyes met"
Would that those eyes could meet
again. Would that Stevenson's
fervid pen could be enlisted on be-
half of the woman who is now on
her way to Washington seeking red
ress and Justice for herself, and,
through her. for those she pines to
help For Liliuokalani's object in
going to Washington is an open
secret of which she alone denies
knowledge.
"The papers know all about it,"
she says carelessly: "the papersIknow
all about my business. l have nothing
to say"
"But you can trust to the genera
sity OF the American nation9"
The mobile mouth witches slight
ly, then quiet laugh comes:
"On that point l have no opinion
at all to offer"

pressor 1t was on these that
foreign soldery must be thrust, TO
pillage their small possessions and
view their poverty.
For the Hawaiian of to-day is
poor, very poor, sometimes hard
pressed for food. "But you know
what my people are" said their
ex-Queen; "they may lack everything,
they still smile and sing and look
happy"
"But what has caused this increase
OF poverty7i Bad seasons2"
"Not at all; it is the result OF immi-
grafton which has taken so many
resources out Of the Hawaiian's
hands. He used to depend mainly
on fish; now the Japanese comes
along with nets and almost destroys
our fish supply. The same holds
good OF our taro and many other
things. Then again in the labor
market the Chinaman is everywhere;
he is dressmaker, washerman--in-
deed, there is little left for the Ha-
waiian to hold or to earn"
There is puzzling reserve in
Liliuokalani's speech, but further
explanation is speedily vouchsafed
by one present, whose heart rises to
his lips, speaker with the author
ity Of experience and the freedom
OF fidelity, for he has suffered i'm
prisonment, sentence OF death and
Punishment in the Queens cause.
There is another reason that
your Majesty perhaps purposely
omits," he comments-"th political.
A native who is known to have ma
tional or monarchical sympathies,
one who has not taken the oath Of
allegiance, is denied work on every
pretext; he is practically subjected
to petty persecution; everything is
done to deprive him of a means OF
livelihood and to harm him and
those belonging to him. Your
Majesty can corroborate what |

who has not taken it, L shall be

may not even choose our affections"
Sand in spite of this how many
natives have taken it2"
every few" the words ring proud
ly and sadly through the room;
"from two to three thousand at the
outside"
"And for the rest, there are no
longer rich chiefs to depend upon;
the patriarchal life is done away
with2"
"There are few chiefs left and no
patriarchal life"
The small brown hand closes sud-
denly as with nervous tension
Liliuokalani is thinking OF her
people, whom she can no longer
help; of the broad lands inherited
from long-lined ancestry and held
in fief for the good OF the people.
On those lands the sugar cane waves,
the fragrant white coffee flower
blossoms and the produce thereof
weights the pockets of white rulers
who "knew not Joseph"
And with the lands has gone the
flag.
"Our flag" says Liliuokalani; sour
flag-that was pulled down. The
Hawaiian Ladies' Patriotic Society
wrote to Admiral Miller asking to be
allowed its possession. He never
answered"
Yet another flag has fallen into
unloving hands. In Washington

Queen had the royal standard tri-
umpantly pointed out to her by its
girl owner.

1t is learned on good authority that
General Calixto Garcia has accepted a
position with the American administra-

cha is to receive $500 month and all ex-
penses. He will act as a commissioner to
go through Cuba and conduct negotia-

of its disbanding. He will start in a few
days and will be gone on his trip three or
four weeks. He will be accompanied by
his son, Carlos Garcia, and by few of
his officers. On his return he will go to
the United States with General Wood to
confer with the authorities at Washing
ton.
General Garcia's appointment has not
been made public here, but when it is it
will give another cause for attack to the
extreme party OF Cubans, who looked on

TACOMA WOODEN MILL FIRE
Plant Valued at One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars Is Total Loss.

Tacoma, Oct. 3.-The Tacoma Wooden
Mill Company's plant burned yesterday
morning and is almost total loss. The
value of the plant and the stock is placed
at $4,000 and is covered by $4,000 in
surance. The plant will probably be re-
built. The fire originated in the picking
room and is attributed to overheating OF
a machine or a spark from a nail in the
wool. The mill had received a large sup
ply of wool the day before and this was
destroyed, with a clothing shipment OF
200 bolts to New York which was being
packed. The mill was one of the largest
on the coast and was being transformed
from a blanket mill for the manufacture
of cheviots and had established a large
eastern trade. The property had passed
out of the hands of the original company
and is held by a number of its bond
holders.

MALAYS IN SWALLOWTAILS.
AguinnIdo Has IA Parade and n Ban
quet-Declares Independence.

New York, Oct. "a dispatch from
Manila says:
The celebration Of the so-called Philip
pine independence as engineered by Aguin-
aldo at Malolos Thursday as native
function with an absurd European ele-
ment in it, born of the dictators desire
to initiate the dress and manner of civ
ilization.
Aguinaldo and his advisers appeared in
full evening dress. There was a parade
of the barefooted army of the insurgents
whose chieftain delivered an address brim-
ming over with patriotic platitudes, the
effect of which was marred somewhat by
the awkward presence and poor delivery
of the speaker.
Afterwards there was a banquet and
the few American guests sat down with
the Filipino statesmen. The menu was
drawn up in the most approved French
style. A toast to the United States was
given with three cheers and the declara-
ton Of Filipino independence was read.
AS the result of a conference held at
AIalolos high insurgent official informs
me that Aguinaldo will, within the next
few days, send a delegation to General
Otis to offer him formally the protectorate
of the Filipino republic.
