Zekdyd's Real Enemies

Jose Zelaya, long the dictator OF Mic
aragua. is an exile. because he endeav-
ored to check the rapacity of American
promoters and Wall Street financiers.
The revolution which resulted in his
ahdication and flight to Mexico had the
financial and moral support of those
men. and many of the soldiers who
fought in the revolutionary army were
sent to Central America by them.
Zelaya was forced to quit his coun-
try. not because any large proportion
of the natives were opposed to him,
but because he upheld the United Fruit
Company against the banana planters.

Robert Wickliffe Woolley, in the Van
Norden Magazine for February. There
had long been a bitter feud between
these planters and the company be-
cause of the high freight rates one of
its subsidiary concerns charged for
carrying the fruit to market Zelaya
ended the trouble by permitting a new
company to enter the territory at in

Liiu0kQlQH, One Time
Queen, Visits New York

New York. Jan. IA woman and
three men, all four of a race visibly
alien to ours, sat and dined the other
night, inconspicuously in the main din
ing room of the Hotel knickerbocker.
The woman was seventy years old. but
seemed much younger. She had sat
upon a throne. an dit had been taken
rom her. The righteousness or un-
righteousness Of her cause had at that
time shaken the senates of her own
eountry and of the United States. Sew
enteen years ago she was one OF the
most conspicuous women In the world.
The woman who sat dining in New
York hotel was Queen Liliuokalani,
who was deposed from the throne OF
Hawaii in 1898, and it is perhaps Typ
ical of New York today that her pres
ence in the dining room of the Knick-
erbocker excited only moderate inter
est, and that interest languid.
Queen Liliuokalani has been more
or less familiar figure in this country
and Europe ever since her removal
from rule and the annexation of Ha-
vail to the United States. 1t has been
said that she might have been queen
longer, but that she attempted to force
upon the Hawaiian House of Mobiles or
senate, revised constitution framed
to give her greater power and her peo-
ple less. At all events she was set aside
and a provisional government installed
bending the ratification by congress OF
a treaty of annexation that was to
make Hawaii a part of the United
States. The treaty was underdiscus-
sion when President Cleveland assum-
ed the presidency for his second term.

Sport With Leaping Tuna

four-hour struggle, brought in a tuna
which weighed two hundred and fifty

the record of the Tuna club and of the
world ever since, despite the fact that
thousands of dollars have been spent
in heroic efforts to beat it,
Thus tuna fishing was introduced

movement for protecting the fisheries

interference He withdrew the treaty
that had been sent to congress by Pres
ident Harrison and declared that
Queen Liliuokalani should be re-estab-
lished. He sought to gain this end
by diplomatic means, but failed. and,
the treaty of annexation was again ia
ken up and ratified.
Queen Liliuokalani was for several
years after that in effect woman
without a country. With her deposit
ton she had lost her crown lands and
incomes and had estranged herself
from her people. She left Hawaii and
came to this country and tried to have
her case reviewed. but without sue
cess. She then put in claim for a
money equivalent of the lands she had
lost, bat failed in that. In November
of last year she appeared again before
the house of representatives at Wash
ington, and asked for an award of
$3.50 600.
In stature Queen Liliuokalani is OF
middle height She speaks several
languages and is highly educated. She
is a woman of only moderate wealth
as wealth is reckoned in these days,
but her income is sufficient to enable
her to travel widely. which she does
necessarily, and to maintain three res
licences in Hawaii and a villa outside
of Paris. Her strained relations with
the people of Hawaii were adjusted
some years since. and she now lives in
Honolulu a great part Of her time and
mingles in society there. She has Wis
tied the United States four times.
When she visited the Hotel knicker-
booker last Thursday she arrived in
taxicab and went away in a taxicab.
Three of her own race were with her
and it was said after they left that
they had gone to a theater.

From the Boston Transcript.
The criticism of the life-saving SER

can hardly be regarded as a false
alarm. 1t has been a cause for wonder
to many thoughtful people that so
many daring and unselfish men could
be maintained for this duty with no
greater inducements. The pay is
small: there are no rewards for the
veterans, and no relief provided for
those disabled by duty. Yet no SER
vice connected with the government IS
SO full Of hazard and hardship. The
record of what these men have accom-
plished in the saving of life and prop

take much to satisfy these men. Were
1t not for their families they would
probably be content to take their

provision should be made for those
dependent upon them in case of their
death or disability in the line of duty.
