LILIUOKALAN|
WILL ASK FOR
HER RIGHTS
Her First Visit Was
for Her People.
NOW ON HER OWN MISSION
SHE WILL ASK CONGRESS FOR
THE CROWN LANDS.
Nearly $500, 900 in Rents Collected
From Them Since Confscation
by the Provisional Gov
eminent.
VOW ON HER OWN MISSION
SHE WILL ASK CONGRESS FOB
THE CROWN LANDS.

Ex-Queen Liliuokalani of Hawaii, &C
companied by several personal friends, her
physician, DR.. English, Hon. Paul Neu-
mann and Colonel George W. Macfarlane,
arrived here on the Coptic yesterday and
took apartments at the California, where
she denied herself to all visitors.
Colonel Macfarlane, however, consented
to act as her spokesman.
"Liliuokalani comes here" he said, Ito
present her claims to the crown lands
which, she asserts, were illegally trans
ferred by the Provisional Government
to the United States Government in con-
summating the annexation bargain Her
previous visit to Washington some
months ago was in the interest of her
people, who petitioned her in all parts Of
the island TO do everything in her power
to prevent annexation, not only to the
United States, but to any country.
1.-The natives were unanimously against
the extinction of their national indepen-
dence and a majority of the foreigners
held the same views. 1t is even said that
a majority of the American residents
there were opposed to loss of Hawaiian
independence. Owing to war between Spain
and the United States a desire suddenly
arose in Congress to pass the Hawaiian
annexation treaty. Annexation having
been an accomplished fact, the Queen re-
turned to the islands and informed her
advised them to accept the situation.
"She is now on mission purely in her
own interest, and that is to lay claim
to ali the revenues that are being coll
lected on the crown lands and to assert
her title TO said landslide revenues from
which, at present prices for sugar lands
would reach well up into the hundreds Of
thousands of dollars
Another and reliable authority on Ha-
waiian matters estimates the present
value Of the crown lands at 81, 900 900.
yielding an annual revenue of $160,O00 All
of the large sugar estates on the islands
are largely situated on these lands, which
are most of them leased for long terms.
The ex-Queen is said to consider 1t be-
meath her dignity to accept pension, and
will merely ask her rights of the adj
ministration and Congress, to which
latter body she will probably submit her
case early In the approaching session.
Colonel Macfarlane has been appointed
financial agent In the settlement of the
crown lands claim, and eminent counsel
in San Francisco and the East will ham
die the case non. Paul Neumann. At
torney General in Kalakauas Cabinet
will also assist the attorneys on this side.
1t is said that nearly 100000 in rents
have been collected from the crown lands
since the Provisional Government con-
fiscated them Lilioukalani will leave for
Washington tomorrow and Colonel Mac
farlane will return to Honolulu on the
Liliuokalani and party attended the
California Theater last night.

Found Dead in a Yard.

Mrs. Charles F. Rehwald wife of the
proprietor of the Golden Bell saloon at
1915 Market street, found dead man lying
in the yard in the rear of the saloon at
noon yesterday. The man had evidently
passed through the saloon short time
previously without being observed by
Mr.. Rehwald.
The body was we'll dressed, and was that
of man about 50 years old. When
searched by the Morgue deputies nothing
was found on the person but a purse
containing two dimes and a clipping from
q Nevada newspaper.
The man was clean shaven with black
hair and eyebrows. dark gray or hazel
eyes, prominent chin and straight nose.

alike backed her to beat the flying Mary
Black in the six-furlong sprint, second on
the programme. At her first attempt the
latter was led past the winning post by
Miss RoWena- The handica0ping division
figured that ValenCienne was too much
for Miss Rowena at the distance, and why
shouldn't she fade the Eastern celeb
rity? But Mary was contrary and when
three furlongs had been reeled of, was in
front with the speck of a jockey, Johnny
Reif, sitting back under wraps. She won
in gallop. So fast was Valencienne car

and was downed for the place by Espion-
age. The winner looked a sweet bit OF

to 10 in the ring.
The Improvement in the card worked
wonders in the ring. The bookmakers
