no office, the present government being
conducted as il there was no legisld-

his representation in that body an Of
| fetal position. Senator Burton said

The witness favored generous treat
ment to the queen who had been out of

action would go a long way toward
! Modifying the general friction.

He had known the queen always a.
held in the best esteem. That genera
feeling was in favor of congressional
action for settlement. That now tn,
queen was more than a mere citizen
that he had never heard from the queer
one word of dislOyalty to the UniteC
states. That settlement would pleas,
the Hawaiians. The queen had encum.
