Of Poor bat Xoble Farcntasrc, She W'ixh Henred by Foster Parents. New York World. Lydia- Kamakacha, spinster, who married John Dominis and succeeded David Kalakaua as monarch of the Hawaiian Islands, is In some respects a picturesque. figure in history and in others she is not. When Lydla was born she was dubbed in the soft, muBioal, flowing language of . a Polynesian croup Liliuokalani, which is Hawaiian for "Lily of the Heaven."' Her family, though of the native nobility, were poor in worldly gooda, and for this reason they ave the infant Liliuokalani to Paki and his wife Konia, whose daughter, Bernlce Panakl, had been adopted by the Queen Regent Klnau. a granddaughter of the great King Kamahamoha. Liliuokalani received a fair education Jn tho Royal School in Honolulu, under the name of Lydla Kamakacha Paki, but rihe excelled only in music. She was companionable, and was well liked by ther school matea. Liliuokalani's social debut was made In the parlor of her foster sister, Bemlce Panakl, then Mrs. Bishop, wife of an American banker, tho wealthiest man on the isiand. In 18G2 John Owen Dominls, a young business man of Honolulu, paid court to the "Lily of Heaven," and they were married. Dominis was the son of an American sea captain, but was born in Italy. After her marriage Liliuokalani became the subject of several scandalous stories, as one favorite after another appeared on the scene. When David Kalakaua was made king Mrs. Dominis, by special royal proclamation, bloomed forth as the Princess Liliuokalajil. Her husband was rewarded for hla patience by the gift of the governorship of Oahu, Molokai and Lanai, and was also made a member of the House of Nobles. He wore on his breast all of the orders at the disposal of the crown. His silence had always been discreet, and it was properly rewarded. In 1881 King Kalakaua, deciding to visit hla royal brothers and sisters on the thrones of Europe, created Princess Liliuokalani Regent. Her name was then officially abbreviated to Liliu, a simple lily. John Dominis died before fortune placed pis consort on the throne on Jan. 20, 1S9L She was then in her fifty-third year. Her favorite, Wilson, a blacksmith of Tahltian birth, was promoted to be marshal of the palace, a position which made him responsible for the person of the Queen. Despite the sneers of the censorious Marshal Wilson held his office until the end of her reign, and his influence was the chief cause of her downfall from power. The ex-Queen was a large and rather coarse colored woman, with gray hair and a singularly reticent manner. She bore herself gracefully in public and with real dig-pity-On the streets she would pass for a thrifty housewife. She used to wear her diamonds at breakfast. Her gown was f enerally of black satin, cut like a Mother iubbard. In January 1893, the Queen, at the instigation of Marshal Wilson and some of her Cabinet, prepared a new Constitution. Among other radical changes made by it was the disfranchisement of all foreigners. 'Hawaii for the Hawaliana" was the motto of the Queen's friends, who were in reality generally half-breeds, and certain foreigners, needy adventurers, who were jealous of the prosperity of the mas3 of the white population. The merchants and sugar Planters, hearing of the Intended change in he laws, created a "Committee of public bafety, the Queen was declared deposed and a commission was dispatched to Washington to inform President Harrison what had been done, as well as to propose that the islands be annexed to the United States. The stars and stripes were hoisted provisionally in Honolulu. President Harrison and his Cabinet approved of the annexation scheme, but action had not been completed by the Senate when Cleveland came into office. President Cleveland took an opposite view of the subject and dispatched Mr. . Blount to the islands as a special commissioner to invest'gate On April 1. 1S93, President Cleveland withflrew the treaty and the United States protectorate. Since her overthrow Liluoltalani has lived In retirement at her private residence. Washington place, the former residence of the Dominis family. It is a large, twoptory white mansion, with surrounding verandas in tropical fashion. Here the exQueen has maintained semi-royal state surrounded by a number of female attendants. The house has been the headquarters for the disaffected ones who desired her restoration. In January last the government learned that arms and munitions of war had been shipped from the mainland to the islands. On Jan. 6 a detachment of police were sent .o search the house of Henry Bentlemann. a half-breed in sympathy with restoration. As the deputy marshal was about to read the warrant a volley was fired from ambush and Charles L. Carter, the son of a former minister from Hawaii to the United States, fell mortally wounded. A lieutenant of police was also shot. Afterwards there was guerrilla warfare between the largely augmented police force and a detachment of soldiers. The rebels took refuge in the crater of Diamond Head, but were shelled out and scattered. The leaders of the outbreak were Robert Wilcox and Sam Nowllen. both half-breeds. Wilcox had been enpaged in previous disorders. He was a strong annexationist until the present government refused to give him an office. NowHen kept a bar in Honolulu two years ago. On Jan. 16. the authorities having become convinced that Llluokalanl waj aiding and abetting tho revolt, she was arrested and confined in an upper room of the executive building, where she has been kept ever since under a strong guard, with only ono female attendant. - G RES HAM'S LATEST PLOP. JVIerrs of Representatives McCrcary, Boutclle and Illtt. WASHINGTON; Feb. 9. The President's Hawaiian message excited much Interest in the House. Chairman McCreary, of the foreign affairs committee said that the affair presented nothing which seemed to call for legislation at this time. Secretary Gresham he said, had clearly followed the best precedents and was acting in accordance with established usage In demanding that the government be informed of the evidence on which citizens of the United States had been convicted and sentenced. Mr. Boutelle said the incident established the Republican contention that the administration was friendly to the revolutionists, and the action of Secretary Gresham was In marked contrast to his instructions to the admiral that American citizens who took part in the rebellion, either for or against the government, forfeited their claims on the United States for protection. Representative Hitt, of the foreign af-' fairs committee, said that the perplexltv of Mr. Willis, in view of the Instructions fresh in his hands, was evident. It was the duty of every minister, he said, to look after the interest of citizens of his country who were in trouble and see that they were U'ven a fair trial. Military tribunals were often secret, he said, and there was nothing unusual in the proceedings. Secretary Gresham seemed to be taking great pains to instruct Minister ViU.s in the ordinary duties of his position and to demand of the Hawaiian government what all her interests dictated that she should do deal fairly with American citizens. Mr. Hitt was inclined to think that capital punishment would b3 visited on some of the rebels, as for the Hawaiian government to do otherwise would be to put a premium on the rebellion. Tio One W ould Pench. ATLANTA. Ga.. Feb. 9 The grand jury of Brooks county, the scene of the recent alleged race troubles, have been investigating that disturbance all this week, but without result.
