With Uttle perceptible change, ex
cept the continual weakening of the
life force, the aged Queen lies today
t.as she lay all day yesterday, in a state
of half consciousness, from which she
"" arouses from time to time f to turn
tired, but still bright eyes, on those
of her best loved friends who are per
mitted to go. to h er bedside. On the
Hoor at the foot of the great. koa bed
lies Foni, Her Majesty's small dog and
faithful friend, his woolly little head
resting on his paws, and his big browii
eyes looking out mournfully on a
world that has gone all wrong for
"'him, for his beloved mistress no long
' er speaks to him. ' : -
"She loved all dogs, but-Poni best
of aU," said Colonel Iaukea. "The
1 name Toni' means Coronation Poni
, was the kjng of dogs to his mistress."
All morning long a stream of call
x crs poured Into Washington Place, but
; it has not been a stream of curiosity
seekers, the entire public seeming to
? be In perfect accord In the wish to
- keep these last hours of this woman,
whose life has held so much of sorrow
. not of her own making, as peaceful as
possible. The Tisitors who were not
close friends have called out "of . the
greatest respect, and there liave been
- - no annoying requests for "admission
. .by strangers.- . , "Jr-;
. Early this : morning Senators Ash
urst of Arizona, King of UUh: and
Representative Gordon of Ohio, all
; j members of the congressional visiting
party, called and paid their respects.
' Mrs. C.-J. Robinson, vho was ad
mitted to the sickroom, returned with
V tears of joy in her eyes.
''She recognized me," said Mrs.
Robinson.- 'I am sure tlie Queen knew
' me,' for she shook my hand and said
. "How are you?' But she is so weak."
Mrs. -John O. Dominis, who lived all
her. married life with the Queen, and
whose, three children were born in
Washington Place, took the two older
a children, John Owen . and Sybil
Francis, to Her Majesty. . She smiled
' when she saw them, but did not speak
" to them, : murmuring only ! a weak
"Thank you." to Mrs: Dominis's "God
. bless you!" John Owen, who is a
; sturdy youngster, will probably in
herit Washington Place, which was
deeded to his father before his death.

SHIPPING WILL BE
CARED
An important summary of shipping conditions, affecting Hawaii and a
declaration that the transportation needs of the territory will be cared for
as , satisfactorily as can be expected in a national and international crisis
such as the present, was made today in a signed statement given to the
Star-Bulletin by E. D. Tenney, president of the Matson Navigation Company.
The statement is as follows:
"FREIGHT AND PASSENGER TRANSPORTATION.
i ' "In view of the uncertainty of shipping conditions, I deem it best to
make a brief statement setting forth the situation as known to the Matson
Navigation Company through sources of -information at its command. .'
"On October 15, the United States Shipping Board requisitioned the entire
fleet of the Matson Navigation Company with the exception of the motor bark
Annie Johnson, from and after which date-the vessels have been : operated
by the Matson Navigation Company .for account of and under instructions
from the United States Shipping Board. Atthis time it was intimated that
the., probabilities were that the . company's vessels would be continued in
the island trade indefinitely, with tTie exception of one, and possibly two,
of the larger boats, and that when these" were taken an equal amount of
freight tonnage would be supplied.
. "On October 18 the San Francisco representative of the shipping board
received .instructions from Washington to promptly ascertain the earliest
dates upon' which the Matson steamers Maui. Matsonia, Wilhelmina, Manoa
and LurHne could be despatched to Atlantic ports, he to replace them with
ex-German and coastwise tonnage. The situation was carefully canvassed,
a list of -available tonnage to replace compiled, and the board was advised
that the ' steamers could be despatched , to the Atlantic on or about the
following dates:
"Matsonia Dec. 1, 1917;'
"Maui Dec. 15, 1917; - .
"Wilhelmina Jan. 1, 1918;
"Manoa and Lurline in February and March, 1918
'No reply was received to this message until -October 26, when the San
Francisco representative received Imperative orders to despatch the Maui,
Matsonia and Wilhelmina to Atlantic ports at the earliest possible ' date, and
to replace them with coastwise tonnage as far as possible. ; v- I ..;, -.
; "After conferring with representatives of the Matson Navigation Company
and' Pacific Coast Steamship . Company, he decided to take possession of
the Maui on November 10, Matsonia on November. 26, and - Wilhelmina on
December 2;. and arrangements were made at the same time to place at the
disposal of ; the Matson Navigation Company ; the steamers President and
Governor, to be operated on the schedules of the Matsonia and Maui, In order
that the passenger traf ficimlght be taken care of, tonnage to replace the
freighting space lost , to be designated later. r ' v t r
1 "Throughout all these negotiations, assurances have been given , to; the
company that the freighting requirements of Hawaii would' be taken care of,
that the" United States government and -Its shipping board were thoroughly
familiar with" the needs and requirements of the islands, and that cample
tonnage would . be provided . to move our crops and furnish us our supplies,
This ; assurance covers all necessities, and. It .was specifically stated that a
large tanker, of' a capacity sufficient to replace that lost ' through the with
drawal, of the Matson steamers, would . be furnished , s. bring fuel oil," ' . v
, "The general puDiic may rest assured that everything possible is . being
done to Insure our transportation... needs being cared for. The Islands have
several very . powerful ? friends who are serving, on government boards In
Washington, who are taking, time - from their; multitudinous . duties to keep
I in touch with: the; transportation situation and do r what; they can to insure
1 our protections U may be that we. will have to dispense with some of the
j non-essentials, butll believe . that in general the transportation needs of the
territory will be cared for.'not with: such clock-like regularity as In the past,
t but In a manner which should be satisfactory to Its citlxens, in view cf tht
world conditions now prevailing
