enthusiasm. In some instances the
help of the recruiting sergeant was
evoked, but some times, even when
interest was aroused, the actual en-.

being of a morbid turn of mind,
wished to know whether our "ceme-

EX-QUEEN LII COMBINES
BUSINESS AND PLEASURE

San Francisco, Nov 1S.-Former
Quenn Lilioukalani of Hawaii, who ar
rived here yesterday, is combining
business and pleasure. Beside seek
ing the recovery of her health, she has
come to consult with the federal au-
thorities relative to the crown islands
in Hawaii. These were sequestered
by the revolutionary government at the
time the monarchy was overthrown,
and no attempt has since been made to
reimburse her for the loss of the crown
revenues, amounting to about 100000
year.
The territorial legislature passed "a
bill appropriating $250,000 for the crown
lands, but President Dole vetoed the
bill on the ground that there was not
sufficient money in the treasury to pay
it, Subsequently the legislature Of
fered her a pension of $4,000 year,
but she refused to accept the money
for the reason that 1t would place her
on the list of charitables, a step that
was exceedingly repugnant to her.
Before the annexation of the islands,
she was advised by competent at
torneys to submit her clairns to Eng
land for arbitration. The crown
lands are more than a million acres in
extent, and are worth about $4,000, 900.
