There are six minor children, the old

THE EX-QUEEN
CONFIRMS TRUST
Liliuokalani Decides After All to
Support the Deed She
Attacked.

Ex.Queen Liliuokalani has once more
exercised the feminine as well as royal
prerogative of changing her mind and
has decided to give up her fight to re.
woke the trust deed executed by her
on December Q, 1902, Yesterday after.
noon there was filed at the bureau of
conveyances document in which the
Queen once more establishes the trust
on the same terms as before. 1t is, in
other words, revocation of the revo-
cation.
What reason caused the Queen to
take this new step does not appear, but
| it is possible that she or her attorneys
have concluded that 1t would be inn
possible legally to break the trust, as
the trustees had announced their in.
tention of fighting the matter through
the courts. Or the Queen may have
concluded that she did the wisest thing
originally when she executed the deed
of trust turning over the care of her
property to w. o. Smith, A. S. Cleg-
horn and Curtis p. Iaukea.
The important part of the document
| fled yesterday is as follows:
| Now therefore, /, the said Liliuoka'
lani, in consideration of the premises
do hereby give, grant, convey, assign
transfer, set over and deliver unto the
said Archibald S. Cleghorn, Curtis p
Iaukea and William o. Smith, as trus

cember 9, 1909, all and singular tn,
property and interest whatsoever de

trust which by the terms of said deco
were and are thereby intended to b.
conveyed to and held by said trustees
the same to have and hold upon all ant
singular the trusts in said deed ex
pressed.
And for the same consideration
do also hereby grant, assign, transfe
and reconvey unto the said j. D. Al

NAVY WILL SEE
ABOUT COMET
Oficers of Pacific Fleet Ordered
to Keep an Eye on the
Fireball.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The navy
department will solve the question
whether Halley's comet has hard
head.
The observatory at Washington and
the Lick observatory and the Chicago
observatory and the New York twelve
inch telescope may look at Haley
comet until they are blind, but they
will never be able to do the stunt that
the navy department has undertaken.
The only way to find out whether the
head of Halley's comet is a Will o. the
Wisp or perfume or as hard as a
flint rock is to look at it when it
passes directly between the human
eye and the sun. The only place that
such glimpse of the comet is possible
is in the Pacific ocean. If it be a
cloudy day at Hawaii it may not be
cloudy at all points in the Pacific mid
ocean where there are United States
mariners So, therefore, the best
chance for a solution of the mystery
has fallen to the navy.
Secretary Meyer, through the hydro
graphic office, has instructed all naval
vessels to keep sharp lookout for this
event. Commander Knapp of the ny
geographic office has prepared a beau
tiful map of the comet IS path in eolors
Maps of this kind have been sent in
time to all ships.
Instructions have also been sent how

HENRY OFFERS A
PRICE FOR GRACE

After being at liberty for six days,
a price has been set on the head. of
Anderson Grace, escaped murderer, and
High Sheriff Henry will pay his cap
turer one hundred and fifty dollars. As
there is no appropriation for such a
sum or one from which it could be
drawn, it will have to come out of his
own pocket, but the failure so far of
the Territorial and county police to
locate him and the willingness of
everybody to turn in false rumors
without being willing to assist in the
search, has led to the posting of the
reward to induce all those who have
the time and opportunity to get out
and scour the brush for him.
The stage has almost been passed
when the police can figure on getting
definite information as to his where
abouts from those who might chance
to see him and it has become matter
of drawing fine tooth comb through
the innumerable hiding places afforded
by the hills in the vicinity of Homo
lulu.
Chief McDuffie still has one goot
clue as to the probable intentions OF
the escaped murderer.
A report came into the detectives
yesterday afternoon that Grace hat

In the Light of the Campfire.

When the sun sinks below the horizon
and the night comes, quickly the Rus
sian camp looks like the bivouac of
soldiers in retreat. Here and there are
brush fires, over which pots steam, with
men occasionally poking the embers or
laying on fresh fuel. AS the fires fare
up the figures of the fire attendants
cast grotesque figures on the ground
and on the stunted kiawe trees. Under
the trees gypsy huts with nondescript
coverings of blankets, straw, cheese
cloth and garments loom up crafty in
the Pickering light. Occasionally from
one of these low shelters figures crawls
ing like shaggy dogs. A dog kennel is
habitable, for the Russians are living
, like animals, or like gipsies, and many
who claim to know assert that the bulk
of these four to six hundred people are
! used to living this way in Manchuria
1t is claimed that they are the villagers
who live in one place for a year, and
move on to another locality for another

and eventually when the parents are in

for days and clothed well, wander back
to their own parents There are some
people in town who believe that the
