Miss Dayies and- Miss Wartoff, the companions of the Princess, E. C.

She had come: to the United States, more for the purpose of learning and observing for herself the nature of the who have, been asked to take control of country than to make a formal: petition iyr her crown, "That," she said, "is rightfully mine, -and the Americans are the noble-minded V-'.

STATEMENT OF DAVIES.

The Commissioners Must Be in Rather an Uncomfortable Position. j. York, Upon behalf of the Princess and her in Mr. Davies made the following statement: the revolution 1887 Thurston en me into power and enjoyed very ally the conrHence of. the natives and foreigners.

At that time. the Princess Knlulani. heiress-presumptive to the throne, 11 years of age, and whs. '-'felt to be Tery Important that she should seat entirely away from the surroundings and Influences of Hawaiian court. life, in order that she might be trained in a quiet home which would enable, her more fitly to take up her future position as soy- ereign.

Thurston repeatedly urged that the young Princess should sent to Eng- land with that object to view, and In she was 13 of age, the plan carried out, and the Princess Kalulanl was r. ten: to England in the charge of a lady who was about to spend a year In Europe and undertook to place her at a suitable which bad already been selected. "At the end of the first year the result of plan was deemed bo satisfactory that Kalakaua was persuaded to content to the continuance of the young Princess 1 stay In and as the lady who bad been her bad relumed to Honolulu a quest was made by the father of the Princess, with the written concurrence of the Kins; and of the Princess Liiiuokalanl, that Mrs. Davies and myself would act as her guardians during the Princess stay In '1 he Princess Kaiulani has thus been entirely as one. of our own children and bat spent all her holidays with us Her one idea and our one idea has been to prepare her for her return to her own laud duriue the present your, when she attains her majority.

One of the last acts of Hawaiian Legislature, of which four of the five commissioners now at Washington were members, was to Tote the sum of J4OOO for the cx i cusps of the return tour of ti.e lieircss-apDircnt. Arrangements were -in progress fur her reception by the Queen of England during the coming and then she was to make a prolonged visit to Washington, New York. Chicago, Boston and other American' cities, finally reaching Honolulu In October or fur her coming of age-. "When rrews reached me by cable of the revolution in Hawaii I wrote to the Ha. waiian Minister, pointing ont what appeared me to be grave difficulties in the way of the carrying out by the commissioners ol the proposed annexation.

I stated in my opinion, no amount of reasoning and no amount of bribes would ever gain pure Hawaiian vote, and without that vote an. Delation could be neither completed nor cariied out hereafter. I then urged that a The Morning Call. convention of all of voters should be called; that carefully revised constitution be i resented to them that the Queen should be requested to abdicate, and. that the.

Princess Kaiuianl should be Queen, with a Council of Regency, of which 1 suggested that Dole, now the head of the Provisional should be President. On February 14 I received this cable-' gram mil Washington "Islands transferred: Princess provided this cablegram is to-be considered 'as an official -communication I do not know, but It is the only communication that has reached: me. and lias reached the Princess; The most.striking fact of this cablegram, next to its apparent hearties? Is the that its accuracy lias not been confirmed by any telegrams that have been- published in England. Why It was sent or who sent it I do not know, bat as loyal guardians anl faithful friends there was only one thing for us to do, ana that was to stand beside the Princess in the presence of those representatives of Hawaii who would transfer her birthrleht without the civility or Use humanity of one word her. of explanation, or even of sympathy.

Weep nip Ire re with no official status nnd with no official information; bat wiih the conviction that the Government and people of the United States." will not lend their countenance to her disinheritance for rip fault alleged against her or her; a royal lady who has with singular grace and courage endeavored to fit herself for tier high station, and shrunk from neither duty nor; sacrifice in the effort. "I feel a good deal; of sympathy lor commissioners; who. must find themselves in a position of great embarrassment, as several of them were concerned In: the preparation of, the Hawaiian constitution of which they compelled the King to accept and since maintain. At least of the commissioners have taken oath to support the same constitution and it has been adopted by the nation. When Ulmokalarii ascended the throne she took the usual oath, and by that constitution Princess Kaiulani was proclaimed 'heiress to the throne.

The Queen appears to have violated her con 1 oath and to have laid herself open -to deposition, but that cannot affect the constitution nor oaths which the commissioners took. There is ho pretense- that Hawaiian electorate even knew of the revolution at the date of. the commissioners' departure on' the present mission, and is difficult see how they define their present position as to enable to write to the heiress apparent ana to to her. the circumstances of their arrival. do not for a moment believe that any them would be guilty of Intentional cruelty or.

even of discourtesy to the Princess, and the inconceivable treatment which their silence toward her betrayed them into must arise from the difficulty they find in reconciling, their present attitude with the knowledge that oath to sustain tVe Hawaiian constitution binds them to the succession of the Princess. unless trie nation itself releases them from that oath. In a short talk Davies said that lie was lighted to learn that the question of the annexation of Hawaii taken a turn In the- Senate that practically laid It over for the consideration of the next administration; "We not mean to get a hearing from President Cl-veljnd in any official capacity," said he. "but. simply as private indi- viduals.

What.his decision is in the matterwill scarcely be affected cur The Princess felt that in the face cf the; threatened annexation of Hawaii by the United States she ought to come hem where she could learn directly what was the true sen-timent of the people. will remain here until after March 4, when we will proceed to Washington, where we expect to see Mr. Cleveland." -'v' A BAD MOVE. The Princess Has Done herself No Good in Coming. New York, March C.

Maqfarlane. a friend of Princess Kaiulani, says that the claims Uiat are being mode by the anti- Ilawaiian.annexationists to the effect that Claus Spreckels and others engaged in the sugar industry in Hawaii bad brought about the revolution are made foundation. "I am opDospd to annexation, bat I never have made a claim that Clius Sprectels entered into a conspiracy, to overthrow the Hawaiian said Macfarlane. "I do not in tact I am almost positive, that Spreckels did not have anything to do with the change of affairs. If he did have, he lias nut yet shown his hand.

"The sugar industry would be injured by annexation instead of nenehted, and it Is not natural that a sugar planter should attempt to injure his uwn interests. It is absurd to make the claim that Spreckels was ia any conspiracy to depose the Queen anil help lo brine about annexation in order to secure the sugar bounty. The sugar planters would much rather have contract labor than the bounty, especially when the latter is expected to cease at any moment." says that he regards the coming of Princess Kaiulani as a most unfortunate thine for the anti-anuexatlun movement. "Her eoniing will do no Rood," said "especially when she is under the wing cf an ultra-Britisher." Dr. Smith, the Hawaiian Minister, agrees with regarding the advisability of the visit of the I'rineess to this country.

"It ig a most unfortunate thing for the anti-annexation people," he says. The Piincess has no business here. The Queen has not abdicated the Hawaiian throne, and she can have no official weight. Her coming was entirely aguhst the wishes of her fattier. "Cleeliorn sent Davies word not to come with the Princess, but he either did not get the word or he has disregarded the father's wishes.

He certainly did not wait until he had obtained Cleghorii's consent. In fart he did not trouble himself to ask for it. lie simply took the entire affair into his onn lianas and tnok passage on the Teutonic without seeking any advice." FAVORS ANNEXATION. Massachusetts Has Gotten Into Line at Last. Bobto.t.

March The Senate Committee on Federal Relations to-day reported In fuvor of resolutions favoring the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands. MOSTLY IN FAVOR. Sentiments of Solons on the Subject of Annexation. W. C.

Wilder, one of the Hawaiian commissioners, arrived in this city yesterday from Washington, en route to the islands, where' he is anxiously expected. Wilder, when seen at. the Occidental Hotel last night by a Call, representative, was not averse to giving bis vie on the subject which at present Is troubling the minds of bo many people, He sui.l that when he left Washington the general sentiment there was In favor of auuoxiug the inlands, although there was a sort of a party feeling in the matter, which might tend to cause a little trouble to tliosn wishing annexation. lie said that the Homocrattc portion of the House and Senate is mostly against annexation, which wasquite' natural. "They want to hold the session called for the purpose of considering the bill," he said, "and in that case I feel sure that the necessary two-thirds vote will be carried.

If an extra session is not called the matter will have to lie over until next December, when the Democrats will have When Mr. Wilder was asked what effect the coming of the Princess to this country for t'jio purpose of claiming the throne would have lie said. that It would more than help tho end for which he Is working, intend of helping herself. "The people in Washington know full well what would result," said lie, "if the Princess was ilacod upon tho iliroiir. It is purely an English trick.

If ever she reached tho throne the islands would' co to and the chances of the United Stales would bo forever closed." Along with Mr. Wilder came Charles F. Peterson, the -secretary for the commissioners, and 011 the way is another commissioner. 1 wo- commissioners will stay In Washington until souie. action Is taken on the bill.
