Ex-Queen Lii Coming Home.

WASHINGTON, April 19-Liliuoka-
lani, the former Queen of Hawaii, is
about to return to her native land. A
victim of grip and disappointed at her
failure TO secure a pension from this
Government, she takes a gloomy view
of life. For the past month the ex-
Queen has been making her own
shroud. Hawaiians always prepare
this garment with great care. To be
buried in robe bought or prepared by
strangers is considered discreditable.
The ex-Queen's shroud is of the heav-
lest white satin, lined with purple silk.
Gold clasps, on which her coat of arms
is engraved, fasten the garment at the
throat. 1t is placed in a beautiful rose
casket, and at present is being shown
to all the Queens friends who call. Lii
uokalani will sail from San Francisco
about the middle of May. She will go
directly to her estates just outside of
Honolulu. She says she will not put
foot again on the soil of the United
States proper, where she has been
treated so unjustly.
Senator Hoar has promised to place
her pension on the sundry civil bill,
but the ex-Queen has lost all hope. She
