draped in mourning for the queen.
Another message from the governor
stated that the congressional party
would return to Honolulu Saturday,
in order that the governor himself
and all the congressman might be
able to attend the funeral on Sunday.
Roger Burnham, Scout commission
err, sent letter to Colonel G. P. lau-
kea, stating that inasmuch as the
queen had given the Boy Scouts flag
they wanted to do what they could TO
help in the funeral exercises. Colonel
Iaukea accepted their offer and the
Scouts will have a place assigned to
them in the funeral procession. The
Scouts will doubtless also be used as
messengers throughout the week.
Colonel Iaukea has suggested to
Major Green that an honor guard be
stationed by General Sam Johnson
at Kawaiahao church this week.
At the meeting of the board of Off
GERS of Court Lunalilo, Ancient Order
of Foresters, last night, it was decid-

waiahao church where the body OF the
late Queen Liliuokalani lies in state.
Between 800 and 400 members of the
order will march in the funeral pro.
cession next Sunday attired in their
regalia. This action is taken In view
of the fact that King Kalakaua, broth
er of the late queen, was the founder
of the court. Special permission had
been given him to found it during a
visit to England. -.
