- AN FRANCISCO. Nov 23-what
has been kept from the press here,
the Advertisers correspondent is
able to tell for its readers Liluokalani
is hurrying TO Salt Lake City to be the
guest of honor at 4 great meeting of
people who once called her queen. Years
ago when the Mormons from Utah were
| proselytizing in Hawaii more actively
than now, band of natives became so
filled with the desire to see Joseph
Smiths land of promise that they for
sock their Island homes and 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 LfliuokaIani 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 mas
/ crossed the continent there has gone up
the same cry of yearning from the ex-
He'd Hawaiians
| Now Liliuokalani has made uD her
mind to satisfy them. The queen left
here yesterday morning at 10 o'clock on
the ordinary overland train. She had no
! special car, but the Southern Pacific off,
cials reserved for her about one-fourtn
of sleeper. 50 that she viii be very
comfortable. With her are Miss Myra
Heleluhe. Joseph r. Aea apd John D.
Aimol1u, who are proteges and attend
ants.
Colonel Macfarlane and some other
! friends saw the party safely aboard their
train.
! Sunday. in Salt Lake City, the Ha-
waiian dormons 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
viii be met by a delegation. There VIII
be the singing of old Hawaiian songs,
praying and the Mormon ceremonials OF
state. luau will add to the pleasures
of the day. On Monday, the next day.
the queen will go through Denver ana
Chicago to New York. She will not stay
long in the metropolis but viii 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
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 70 tighten her purse
strings.
LiIiuokalani has expressed great pleas
ure at the treatment accorded her by
the press of San Francisco. during her
stay here. She spoke of this with some
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
people Of Hawaii and to say that her
heart Is always with them.
The queen did not so about much IN
San Francisco She stayed mostly in her
apartments in the California Hotel,
where she was quite comfortable. Last
Sunday afternoon she drove to the Pre-
sid;o, and one afternoon this week took
tea with Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson, at
the latter's home overlooking the bay.
There she met a few friends Of Mrs
Stevenson's and enjoyed the collection
of South Sea souvenirs with which the
Stevenson home is filled.
The queen refused box at the grand
opera. to see Calve In Carmen, as she
was too pressed for time Maurice Grau,
the impressarIo. who manages the great
aggregation Of opera singers now here,
sent a pressing Invitation 10 LiliuOKa-
lani, but the queen declined regretfully
She had packed away her beautiful
gowns in the bottoms of her trunks. and
feared that she might be so fatigued
she would be unable to take the train 70
