guest of honor at a great meeting of
people who once called her queen. Years
| ago when the Mormons from Utah were
proselytzng in Hawaii more actively
than now, a band of natives became so
| filed with the desire to see Joseph
Smiths land of promise that they for
sock their Island homes andt settled
about Salt Lake City.
| These people have prospered in a small
way. They are farmers, mechanics and
laborers; some have even more ambi-
t.ous occupations, and some have gained
riches In a small way.
| The first time that Liliuokalani came
to America there was great desire ex-
pressed by these people for her presence
among them, but the queen did not graf
! ify them. Every time since that she has
crossed the continent there has gone up
the same cry of yearning from the ex-
| lied Hawaiians.
Now Liliuokalani has made mp her
mind to satisfy them. The queen left
here yesterday morning at 10 o'clock on
the ordinary overland train. She had 10
special car, but the Southern Pacific Off
cials reserved for her about one-fourtn
of sleeper, so that she will be very
comfortable. With her are Miss Myra
Heleluhe Joseph r. Aea and John ID.
Aimoku, who are proteges and attend
ants
| colonel MacIarltne ana some Otner
friends saw the party safely aboard their
train.
Sunday, in Salt Lake City, the Ha-
waiian Mormons will meet to greet Lii
uokalani. There will be services in the
great Tabernacle and the Temple. Tele-
grams have been sent giving the time Of
the queens probable arrival, and she
will be met by a delegation There will
he the singing of old Hawaiian songs,
. Inc, ~ nials Of
state. A luau will add to the pleasures
of the day. on Monday, the next day.
the queen will go through Denver and
, Chicago to New York. She will not stay
long in the metropolis but will spend
, some weeks with the relatives of her late
husband in Boston. She expects to be
in Washington after the holidays, when
congress Is expected to get down to ac-
; tive business.
There the queen will press her claims.
She intends to make a strong appeal for
the restoration of the crown lands to her.
She says that she is convinced congress
will do justice to her. The queen makes
it very plain that she is in need of
money. She is practically living on her
. capital, and her private expenses with
the maintenance of her home in Homo
lulu, and the caring for her charges have
compelled her to tighten her purse

a Liliuokalani has expressed great pleas
ure at the treatment accorded her by
a the press of San Francisco, during her
stay here. She spoke of this with som.
a feeling a day or two after her arrival
: All the papers of this city published ar
+ ticles concerning her mission, written in
a sympathetic way. This has encouraged
the queen,
, When she left for Salt Lake yesterday
, she was in good spirits, and apparently
\ in better health than she has been for
[ years. She was UP early packing her
trunks, with the aid of Miss Heleluhe,
, and chatting with those friends who had
come to bid her farewell. She told your
correspondent to send her aloha to the
Y people of Hawaii, and to say that her
5 heart Is always with them.

S San Francisco. She stayed mostly in her
l apartments in the California Hotel.

g Sunday afternoon she drove to the Pre-
5 sid!o, and one afternoon this week took
= tea with Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson, at
. the latter's home overlooking the bay.
