adviees to Sept. say: Queen Liliuok-
alani took occasion on her ed birth

son in American patriotism. During
the celebration and concert at the
queens residence she arose when the
Star Spangled Banner" was played.
and kept her seat during the playing
of the Hawaiian national anthem.
This action greatly surprised the ma
tives. 1t was the queens way of show
that the star Spangied Banner" was
the national anthem of Hawaii. and
not the old Hawaiian hymn. This ac-
ton may have a good deal of political
effect, as a reply from the queen to
those natives who are urging the or
ganization of the independent party
with the idea that the restoration of
the monarchy is still a possibility.

for this, the correspondent says. For an
