with Governor Adams, in 1898,

THE PETITION.

10 Uhe President and Congress Of the
Lniteu States Of America:
The undersigned, members Of the
Citizens Committee Of Safety OF Janu-
airy, 1893, of the Executive and Adyis-
DRY Councils Of the Provisional Gov
ernment of Hawaii, and Of the Council
of State. .,enate and House OF Repre-
sentatives OF the Republic of Hawaii,
respectfully present for your consider
alton:
That at time OF the overthrow OF the
Hawaiian Monarchy in 1898, Kaiulani
the daughter OF Hon. A. $. Cleghorn
and the late Princess ikelike, and
the niece OF the late King Kalakaua
and ex-Queen IAliuokalani, was, and
for several years prior thereto had been
abroad receiving her education, she
being then OF the age Of Seventeen
Years;
That at the time OF said overthrow,
the said Kaiulani by law held the title
OF Princess, and was the lawful success
sor and heir apparent to the throne OF
Hawaii, TO succeed Liliuokalani;
That the said Kaiulani was not a
party TO, and had no connection, direct
ly or indirectly, with the causes which
led up To the said overthrow of the
Monarchy;
That although the said Kaiulani WIS
reared with the full expectation Of
eventually occupying the throne Of Ha-
wall, which expectation has failed
through no fault OF her own, and for
causes beyond her control, she became
convinced soon after the overthrow OF
tho Monarchy that 1t was for the best
interests OF her country and people
that agitation aginst the Republic
should cease. Acting upon this opinion
she openly accepted the Republic and
the authority OF dts Government, at a
time long before annexation was a
certainty, and at time when an OPP
posite course might have caused agi-
tation against tht Republic;
That from that time to the present
the said Kalulani has desisted from
sountenanoing opposition to the Re-
public, although urged 80 to do by Roy
allst leaders and has frankly and open

strong Commentator,

The quiet efforts OF Princes kaiu-
lani Ia obliteratc the harsh feelings
growing out u uhc change Of govern
mant an Hawaii, and her acceptance
on the new order of things Is appre-
ciated by this community, and by none
more 30 than those who were directly
instrumental In bringing that change
about. This appreciation has found
voice TO a petition TO President Me
kinley aud Congress, reciting certain
facts concerning the overthrow of the
Monarchy and Kaiulani herself, and
commencing her TO their consideration.
Such a petition could have received
thousands OF signatures In Hawaii but
IL was decided by those who took the
subject In hand to limit them to those
who took AN active official part In
the overthrow OF the Monarchy or in
the establishment OF the Republic.
These men, of all Others, would ex-
press opposition TO the proposal. II op-
pphlllou Nutf' Nhb W D' iouhb
IL will be noted that the signatures
attached TO the petition do not include
those OF President Dole or the Cabl-
net. This IL not because they do not
favor IL, for they do. President Dole
presented TO and urged upon the Gull
lom Commission that provision be
made OF Kaiulanl. A majority OF the
commission did not think best TO
do g. While fully Getting II be known
that they favor the object OF the petit
tion the execuuive are of the opinion
that, as the signatures are OF more
or less official character, they had bet
ter not sign d. at ibis time.
With two or three exceptions every
living member of the bodies named In
the petition who Is within reach oi
Honolulu, has signed Il. Some on the
the other islands abroad have not yet
been reached, but will he given oppor'
tunlty as soon as practicable.
Whether the object of the petition
is successful or not, It is a strong trlb'
ute by active political opponents 10
the character and worth OF Kaiulani
which cannot but be gratifying to her
and her friends.
