EX-QUEEN MAY GO.
Report That She May Visit Buffalo
Exposition.

Report That she May NlSlt bulldlo
Exposition.
BUFFALO, June 1.-The happy, good
natured inhabitants of the Hawaiian
village on the Midway last night danced
about in great glee when informed by
King Tobin that the former queen of
the Hawaiian Islands, Liliuokalani, is
coming here late this summer. She will
be accompanied by Prince David Ka-
wananakoa. Several of the villagers are
personally acquainted with the queen
and all love her.
The queen and the prince will be the
guests of E. w. Mcconnell, the Ha-
waiian village concessionaire. The for
NAL announcement of their intended
visit was made late yesterday after
noon by the publicity bureau of the
Pan-American Exposition. 1t appears
that the queen and the prince were in
vited to Buffalo by Richard H. Stafford
one of a party of Mystic Shriners who
escorted Imperial Potentate Lou De
Winsor to Honolulu a short time ago
to institute a temple of the Mystic
Shrine. The Queen could not give
definite answer at that time, but yes
terday Mr. Stafford received a letter
saying she would come with the prince
1t is expected the two will be accom-
panied by large retinue of friends.

ON PERCENTAGES BASIS
HOW REP. EMMELUTH WOULD
COLLECT TAXES.
Honest John Makes Report About the
Porto Ricans and How They Come
Here.

The House yesterday afternoon de-
voted good deal of time to Emme-
luths idea of collecting taxes on the
percentage basis.
Makekau said that Emmeluth show
ed a shocking lack of faith in the pub
lie servants. In Honolulu, the income
from the percentage system would be
so great that the appointee would get
over $4,000 or $4,000 a year. Dickey
said that the law specified that the
taxes of Honolulu should be collected
after a certain fashion and to deviate
from this would be illegal. The motion
made by Makainai was lost
A sum of $125,000 was voted upon for
the salaries of the tax collector and his
deputies 1t was carried without a dis
senting vote.
The pay of all district magistrates
were passed as offered in the COVER
nor's estimates. Mossman spoke in
favor of this. He said that the legisla-
tors had started out to reduce sala-
ries, but were ending their work by
raising everything. The policy they
had advocated, that of reducin~ all eX-
penses, was not being followed
motion was made to vote a lump
sum to the tax collectors office. The
man in that department who is getting
salary of 500 a month today, will
Continuing, the would-be stroke-oar
of the Home Rulers said he was in
favor of doing away with everything
that pertained to the old government
getting a new order of things, and
having county government.
Just before adjournment, Emmeluth
offered the following statement to the
House:
June IA, 1901.
Hon. ]. A. Akina,
Speaker House of Representatives.
"Sir:-The statement having been
made on the floor of this House on last
Wednesday that the Porto Ricans COM
ing to this country are not assisted to
their passage and that they all arrive
with fifty dollars in their pockets, the
undersigned desires to make the fol-
lowing statement to go on record in
this matter. 1 went to quarantine
wharf yesterday morning, and inter-
viewed a member of the Porto Ricans
who arrived in the Colon on the 18th in
slant and everyone declared that he
had been assisted to come here. Eleven
men interviewed collectively could not
show up three dollars
Each immigrant interviewed declar-
ed his utter dependence on those who
assisted him thus far.
Respectfully submitted
JOHN EMMELUTH."
Dickey, who had made the statement
referred to on Wednesday, attempted
to have the instrument thrown out, but
Akina was not so disposed.

A GLORIOUS sroHr.


To the Editor:
A gentleman from Duluth made .
trip through q portion of Western
Canada last summer. and writing of
what he saw, says:
"wheat, for instance, will average
twenty-five or thirty bushels to the
acre. I saw shocks SO thick In the
field that IL would be almost impossi-
bic to drive between them. Winters,
II Ia said, are longer than near Duluth.
but the japan current, warm chinook
winds and dry atmosphere make the
winters comparatively mild"
Thousands of such testimonies are
20 be had from settlers who have
taken advantage Of the low-priced
lands of Western Canada. During the
present year new districts will be
opened up In the Saskatchewan VAL
ley, and advantage should be taken OF
this at once. Information can be had
from any agent of the Government.
whose advertisement appears else
where In your columns.
Yours truly.

CONGRESSIONAL cRMRTERY.

CenOtaph Custoa.


In the western outskirts of WASH
ington stands the old congressional i
cemetery. In II are 100 cenotaphs to
dead congressman, stretching In mo-
notonous rows through the cemetery,
all of them with two exceptions Of n
uniform shape and size, and erected at
government expense. Some Of the
stones mark the actual burying place
Of the defunct statesmen, but others,
like those commemorative Of Henry
Clay, John Quincy Adams and Thadde-
us Stevens, merely stand in honor Of
thoss distinguished names. Since
1870 the practice Of erecting cenotaphs,
begun In 1876, has been abandoned,
says q Washington report.
When the cemetery was established
In 1908 its projectors thought II would
be a good idea to secure the interment
in the new cemetery Of congressmen
who passed away while serving their
country In Washington. So 400 burial
sites were set apart for the free In
terment Of congressman dying away
from home, and the place was named
the Congressional cemetery.
