hands She has a good presence and her manner is very distinguished. She has lost all the smooth complacency of her earlier years; her face is fallen and deeply lined, and that expression of de- liant obstinacy so noticeable in her pie lures has given way 10 something inf1- nitely softer.
 'I am glad to be at home with my poor people," she said. "They wanted me; they needed me; they asked me to come. I was advisd to stay away from here at this time, but I was glad if my presence could console others
 I asked her if the subject of politics was tabooed and she smiled.
 Have you read my book?" she said; my political opinions are there and they have not changed. As for plans, l have none. My feelings may be guessed, and I naturally find that sub ject painful It was beautiful to me to receive the welcome I had last night from my own people and some of my old friends.

 The singing? Oh. yes. the melees That is our custom. What you heard was the story of my ancestors, espe- cially of my uncles. Their deeds are put into verses by our people. Music and poetry come naturally to us We love music and song and stories and sunshine and all beautiful, happy things"

 I would, indeed with pleasure. The address, as I was afterward notified, was for F o'clock. The ex-Queen held a private reception in her drawing room She sat on a wide sofa at the extreme end of the room facing the entrance, and wore a holiku Of black brocaded satin with the royal lei of yellow feathers about her throat and a crown of yellow flowers and the Order of the Kamehamehas on her breast. She was attended by the Princess and some twenty ladies of the royalist party, both white and native.
 Not being versed in the etiquette of court receptions I went blithely for

her shrunken body her thin arms toss ing, her great eyes turned toward the skies.
 If is customary for other voices to take up the melee began by one, but this woman chanted on alone in honor of Iiliuokalani's return. She stood close bv the rope as the ex-Queen came down the plank, and I looked-rather hoped to see her loyalty rewarded by glance. although I did not love her song. But such are not, perhaps the ways of Queens. LiliuCkalani went on to her carriage and the wild chant ceased.
 Some one cried, Three cheers for the Queen" and they were given loudly sin cerely, unbrokenly, many of the native women falling to wild weeping as the carriage rolled away. At the doors or Washington Place two torch-bearers Ill the funereal black capes and silk hats' which gave LiliuokalanTs suite the melancholy personnel of undertaKers' and wearing otherwise white satln badges lettered with her name In blue and gold, guarded tn lowest step. Be- hind these were ranged others in like attire and without torches Others still patrolled the porches and watched all windows and doors against the en- trance of strangers to the rooms where the ex-Oueen sat at table with her most intimate personal friends
 But the wide gates of the grounds were open to the people and all night a. sorrowful throng came through the moonlight. oleander-Scented streets to gather under the tremulous spiked shadows of the royal palms in Liliuo- kalani's gardens and listen to the ,oli- oli of the melees chanted by walters with an accompaniment of strange huala movements, beneath the ex- Queens windows, recounting the deeds of her ancestors, the glories of their reigns, the joys of their people, the peace of their passing. the line of their succession.
 Ltliuokalani could be seen through the great windows. seated at the head of her table. famed with kahilis of white feathers by girls dressed in white holi- kus. served by men in the gloomy liv- cry of her suite, attended by a little audience of men and women. When she turned from the table all her old servants and followers were admitted to her presence, entering the room at their proper height, prostrating them selves before her, crawling on their hands and knees or sliding along the floor to her feet to He there with their eyes cast down until she touched their heads with her hands. The circle

waited until the floor was half covered with these crouching shapes.
 One woman, grotesque In her Tapping holiku and a little sailor hat wreathed with a lei of carnations. remained standing in the royal presence for some seconds and with uplifted arms began the monotonous chanting of melee, but the guttural accents of the oli-oli were interrupted by sobs and presently she sank to the floor, weeping bitterly to be patted and comforted by her Queen.
 Outside, the crowd seemed satisfied to look. It passed close to the porches, standing on tiptoe to peer over big Towering shrubs or parting the thick leaves Of climbers for better view of Liliuokalani.
 It was still gathering. The Hawaii ans are not noisy people. Their voices are low pitched, their laugh is a soft ripple, their grief is expressed by si- lent tears. When some one wept within or Liliuokalani seemed to speak in sad ness those without wiped their eyes and exchanged nournful looks. The children, who were there in numbers, stood decorously by their elders and did as they did, and the village innO- cent, an old soldier of the guard, who passes his harmless days in choosing new uniforms which are given him in charity and roaring military orders through the streets, quenched his bat tie tones and whispered his commands among the palms. A few old servants retired to the Cottage of the Gala bashes, where some twelve dozen of the royal poi cups of beautifully polished wood are kept behind glass doors, and gossiped mournfully of other days, when the homecoming of a Queen would have meant a luau for the people.
 The moon paled before the early tropic dawn and the crowd about the windows thinned and went its several ways. but the sound Of the oli-olf never ceased, and at broad daylight the torches still fiared before the doors and within Liliuokalani sat in state with her audience of friends about her and her servants prostrate at her feet.
 At 2 o'clock this afternoon I had an interview with Liliuokalani. She looks III. worn, sad, and is disinclined to say anything concerning her immediate plans. She received me in the first drawing room, a large, bare, ceremo- nious apartment, with huge rahili in each corner She wore costume of black silk, cut in the European fashion. with a touch of heliotrope and no dec orations of any description or orna- ment beyond a jewel or two on her

HONOLULU, Aug. 4, via Victoria, Aug. 12.-The United States steamship Philadelphia arrived yesterday, six days and twenty hours from San Fran cisco. with Admiral Miller and staff on board, who came for the purpose of raising the American flag over the Ha- waiian Islands.

 The jurisdiction of Circuit Courts in criminal cases will be attacked before the Supreme Court tomorrow.
 The Japanese will test the labor con- tracts.
 The Hawaiians are divided politically on the advisability of the Queen issu- ing a proclamation recognizing the hopelessness of a restoration.
 At the request of the American Gov ernment Hawaii paid on August l $75, 900 to Japan as a compromise.
 It is rumored on fair authority that the claims foreign prisoners of 1895 will 1e paid before the flag is raised.
 Admiral Miller arrived yesterday. Damon and Sm tn were with him this morning. No date has been fixed for the fag-raising, but it probably will take place net week.
 The transport Pennsylvania arrived on July 28. The Rio reached here on July 31 and sailed on August 3. The Peru and Puebla sailed on August 4.
 Twenty-one cases of measles on the Puebla had improved sufficiently to go forward. All the transports were thoroughly cleansed. The troops ex- cept those on the Rio were poorly fed. They behaved well. Isaac Strickland of the Third Artillery; R. D. Stewart, marine of the Mohican, and - Jenks of South Dakota, died at sea. Corporal Prather was permanently invalided. Murat Halstead has recovered and gone forward
 The Queen is holding a large recep- tion to-day.

 The Philadelphia is here. There was no enthusiasm over her coming. The water front was lined with people. but only those who went out on the tug with the band to meet her cheered.
