Liliuokalani deserves more than
passing thought
Her right name is Mrs. Lydia Ham
akacha Dominis, for late in life she
became the wife of John Owen Domi-
mis-, a young business man of Homo
lulu.
This matrimonial adventure occurred
in 1852. Young Dominis was the son
of an American sea captain, but was
born in Italy. When David Halakua
was made king, Mrs. Dominis, by es-
pecial royal proclamation. bloomed
forth as the Princess Liliuokaiani. Her
husband was rewarded by the gift of
the governorship of Oahu. Molokai and
Lanai, and was also a member of the
house of mobiles. he wore on his breast
all the orders at the disposal of the
crown.
John Deminis died, however. before
fortune placed his consort on the
throne on Jan. 90 1891. She was then
in her fifty third year.

EX-QUEEN LII GOES HOME TO
DIE.
Hawai's Former Ruler Purchases a
Pink and White Stroud and
Starts For Her Native Islands.

At reception, to which the best peo-
pie of Washington society were inv;%1d,
eX-Queen Liliukalani, formerly of Ha-
wall, but for the past five years of
Washington, announced that she had
decided to shake the dust of the Unit
ed States from her feet and to return
to the land of her birth, to spend the
final days of her life in such retire
ment as is her right by birth and the
will of the people.
Five years ago, when the Hawaiian
trouble came to climax. ending in the
permanent dethronement of the rovaI
family, the eX-queen sailed for Amer
lea, and, travelling across the country
in semi-royal state, threw herself at
the feet of President Grover Cleveland
to beg from him such indulgence as he
could grant. The fallen queen desired
first her throne; failing that she want
ed a very substantial pension: or. f
neither throne nor pension were forth
coming, her friends limited that she
would accept the post of governor to
Hawaii, or any other appointment of
rulership which could be bestowed upon
her.
After pleading her cause many times
Liliuekalani withdrew, and with much
sorrow announced that her great and
good friend could do little for her at
present; in the future hemight, how
ever, give her any or all of the things
she craved.
Washington treated the ex-queen,
who is a woman of education, refine
ment and presence SO we'll that she
decided to remain: and after looking
about the city, she selected a home
worthy her state in which she imme-
diately placed native servants and
gathered about her ritinue that you'd
not disgrace a royal household. ! =

friends said, was to place before the

WASHINGTON, January 24.-The
Democratic members of the Senate
held a conference to-day to consider
the question of party policy on the
various questions before Congress.
They have found themselves following
somewhat divergent paths on some of
these questions, and concluded that
their party interests demand that
they should have a better understand
ing among themselves. Hence to-
days conference.
No definite conclusion was reached,
but when the conference adjourned
there was a general understanding of
the lines to be pursued.
The question of the policy to be
pursued toward the Philippine archi-
pelago attracted attention than
any other. On this there was a very
general exchange of views, the on
sensus of opinion evidently favoring
the policy outlined in Senator Bacon's
resolution of protecting life and prop
erty in the islands until quiet is re-
stored, when the United States shall
provide the opportunity and prescribe
the method for the formation of a gov
eminent by and of the people of the
Philippine islands, to be independent
ly exercised and controlled by them
selves.
There was also more or less discus
sion of the bills providing a form of
government for the Hawaiian islands
and for Porto Rico. The preponder-
ance of opinion concerning these bills
was favorable to absolute free trade
between the United States and these
islands as a part of this country.
With reference to the financial bill,
it was practically decided to offer a
substitute providing for the free coin
age of silver.
Senators Lindsay and Caffery were
present and while they indicated their
intention not to be bound by any de-
cision upon this line, they recognized
the futility of any effort to prevent it's
being pursued. The conference adj
journed with the understanding that
another meeting will be held soon.

The Expressions of a Naval Office

NEW YORK, January 24.-Follow-
ing is the letter of Captain Alfred T.
Mahan, which has caused discussion
in the British press:
May | suggest to Jul citizens gen
orally and to the Boer sympathizers
especially, the inadvisability of public
meetings on this question. There are
very many among us, myself certainly
one, who feel as strongly in favor of
Great Britain as the others do of her
opponents. Let us all be careful not
to provoke one another by immoderate
expressions of opinion, to which pub
lie meetings tend. Those on one side
provoke retaliation on the other; nay,
they may make it necessary, for in the
problems of the neal future good un-
derstanding with Great Britain is too
important for us to permit the impress
sion thai we are all against her mere,
and we may find ourselves in the I'M
seemly state of party divisions for and
against foreign states, as in the be-
ginning of this century between the
British and French parties. l avail
myself of this opportunity to say that,
in my judgment, not only is the cause
of Great Britain just, but to have fail
ed to uphold it would have been to fail
in national honor.
