Special to the Rncouii-rsio--.
London, Feb. 22. —Princess Kaiulani,
heir to the throne of Hawaii, sailed for
America to-day, accompanied by her
guardian, Theophilus Davies. In an in
terview with a correspondent before her
departure she said see bad no definite
plans and would be guided by tho advice
of her guardian. She proposed to go to
Boston and remain till alter the inaugu
ration of Clevelaud, then go to Washing
ton and probably make a persona] ai peal
to the new President. She expressed the
hope that she might gain the sympathy
of the American people. She could nut
s. c why she should be summarily de
prived of her rights through no lault of
her nvn, and without being oven notified !
to appear in defense of them, she knew
nothing of the affair except what she had |
read in the newspapers. She declined to 1
express any opinion on Mr. Harrison's j
message recommending annexation, or
whether sho would accept monetary con
sideration in case it was done. She evi
dently considers her case hopeless. Sho
declared herself entirely opposed to tiio
policy of tho Queen, which led to her
overthrow. She did not want a protect
orate for Hawaii, but independence. She
favored tbe idea of her guardian that a
regency bo appointed for three years,
with l'rcsident Dole ofthe Provisional I
Government as President, she to be
crowned Queen at its expiration. It was
evident she was guided by her guardian.
Princess Kaiulani is tall and slender
With a more thoughtful and deliberate air
than might be expected in a school girl.
She is a brunette with eyes of hazel and
features timt suggest just a suspicion of
Kanaka origin. SIIO was a trifle nervous
.iiiiing the interview. She said she had
nothing more to assert tlmn was in her |
appeal which she addressed to the Amer
ican people, and she expressed her
thanks that the appeal had been for
warded to the American newspapers.
The Princess believed that America aud
Hawaii should bo warm friends. Sho
bad never seen any of the English of- |
ficlats .ne'. did uot believe England would
interfere in Hawaiian affairs.
When .isked if she would return to
England alter her visit to America, tho
Princess answered: "Yes, if 1 am suc
ci -sful. 1 will be of age next year, and
then I will carry out my original inten
tion, for which the Hawaiian Legislature
voted §l.i»'', which was to visit '.'ueen
Victoria, then visit tho President of the
United States, then proceed to Hawaii j
and assume the position to which I am |
entitled."
Here tho Princess excused herself on '
tho ground of hurry in packing for her
journey to America. As she aroso she
said in a pathetic tone, and with sudden
spirit: "I want to do all I can for my
people, and lie an honest, true leader to
tbem. I simply want to do my duty to
beloved Hawaii."
Tho Princess shook hands warmly j
with the correspondent, thanked him for
the sympathy shown with her cause, and
asked him to convey iier thanks to the
American press for tho hearing given
her.
Tho party departed on the noon train,
alighted at i'.ootle and drove tothesteam
ip dock, where they boarded tho Teu
tonic. Although the name of the Prin
cess was on the passenger Ust, her iden
tity was unknown at Southport ana
elsewhere.
Theophilus Davies, the Princess'
guardian, is a British merchant con
nected with the Hawaiian Islands, and is |
said to be a strong supporter of British I
interests in Hawaii. He has had virtual
charge of tho Princess during her stay in |
Fnglaud, and is said to be on intimate
terms with her Scottish as well as Ha
waiian relatives. He := confident if the
Americans could ses -.he Princess, who isa
BimprS CbrisMan girl, her throne would
be saved. It would be an immense out
rage to set her aside without a hearing.

Detroit, Feb. 22.—Tho Michigan Club
to-night gave itv eighth anniversary ban
quet, celebrating the birthday of Wash
ington. Over 1,000 persons were present
in the auditorium, which \\ as handsomely
decorated. Among |be guests of tho
I evening were Hon. Charles T. Gorham,

Ilorr, General W. 11. Gibson of Ohio,
Q eni Tal Alger of Detroit, Colonel John
Atkinson, toastmaster; Governor Rich of
Michigan, Senator Higgins of Delaware,
Hon. Stenhen A. Douglas of Illinois,
.lames Francis Drake, President ofthe
American College League. A large num
ber of prominent mon sent letters of re
| gret, among them President Harrison
I and membors of his Cabinet.
Senator Anthony Higgins of Delaware
i replied to the sentiment, "Our Manifest
Destiny, Annexation." Ho said: "Un
der the inevitable law controlling our
development, all our possessions, which
l were once tbe property of several other
j nations, became united under this Gov
ernment. The speaker ventured tho be
lief that the time was not far distant
when Canada would unite her de.siiny
Willi us, because it is to her interest to do
so. As long as Canada remains a depen
dency of ('rent Britain we aro liable to bo
involved in the exigencies of a European
war. So long as retaining hor hold upon
Canada, sho remains a military power on
this continent; and so long is (Meat
j Britain continuing a threat against our
j peace. Because of tiiis we aro thrown
i into practical alliance with England's
foes. By reason of her antagonisms with
! Russia and France, England is to-night a
! silent partner in ihe dreibund, made up
|of Germany, Austria and Italy. By
j reason of England's retention of Canada,
wo are bound iv common interest with
Russia and France as England and the
dreibund. With the departure of British
rule from the continent will come union
again of the two branches into which the
English race has unfortunately been
divided."
Son. lloswell G. Horr of Michigan re- j
sponded to tho toast of "Duty of the
Hour." He said the country for tho lirst ■
time in thirty-two years had been placed
in the hands of the Democrats. lie
would havo every Republican stand by
his gnus. When any law was proposed
that he feels sure will injure the country
.there should bono ambiguous work on
his part. His utterance would instantly
be one of warning and defiance. And
whenever the Democratic party shall pro
pose a good measure, turn in and help
them pass it and show that we are patri
ots lirst and partisans afterwards.
. Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois re
sponded to the sentiment, "Stand by
Your Guns." He said he had seen the
power of tiie Republican party dwindle
away ior nearly a quarter of a century.
The curious spectacle was presented of
the triumph of the doctrine of the party
and the decadence of the party itself.
One of the reasons,-he believed, that was
theTe was an element high in the councils
oftho Republican party and potential In
its guidance who either never had been j
Republicans in convictions or who had !
not the courage of their convictions. In j
closing be said: "1 he principles of the !
Republican party are not dead, nor tho
party itself. But even if what the croak
ers say be true, and the Republican patty
] must die, then for "iod's sake let it die
. with its boots on, lighting for what it be
, lieved was right, consistent with its •
! record and with itself. It can afford to I
j lay down its life, but it cannot afford to';
i give up its principle*-."
In response to the toast, "Our Dangers
i and Our Duties," James Francis Burke,
j President of tho American Republican
j College League, paid a glowing tribute to
| tiie late James G. Blame, enumerated the.
dangers into which the Republicans aro !
liable to fail, and spoke of their duties to '
the grand old party. He closed with an
apnea! to give the young men. who are

gaily decorated. All the big transatlantic

stretched from mast to mast. On tiio
■ New York two battalions of the naval

There was quite a crowd in the Perm
; sylvania depot when tho President's

j President walked down tiio platform
! leaning on the arm of Mayor Gilroy.

pany.
Congressman W. Bourko Cockran, to
j whom was given tho honor of formally
i inviting President Harrison to raise the

: friends, 1 have been asked by the ollicers
of the company whose hospitality we
enjoy to open tho ceremonies. Those
ceremonies consist in replacing a foreign
llag by tiie Hag of our country at the
masthead of this triumph of tho ship
builder's art. H, is a magnificent occa
sion, and it marks a peaceful conquest—a
conquest of civilization which wo celo
■ bratefwhen we annex this splendid speci-
I men of marine architecture to the Ameri

stand bet": re the world to-day a high type
of citizenship of this country, a heroic
defender of its integrity, and commit to
your hands the patriotic task of unfurl
ing from the masthead a llag which typi
fies American liberty and enlightens
progress."
His address was received with great
applause.
l'resident Harrison said: "Mr. Cockran
and Gentlemen: It gives me pleasure to
consummate here to-day by the act of
lifting a flag, legislation to which I gave
my hearty support. I felt as a citizen
and President tho mortification which
ovory American must feel who examines
into the standing of the l'nited States in
merchant marine ofthe world. I believed
wo had readied an epoch in our develop
ment when the great work of inter
national development was so far consum
mated tliat we miarht successfully take up
the work of recovering our fair share in j
tiie carrying trade of the world. [Ap
plause.] We lift this flag to-day over one '
ship, an event interesting in itself, but
to me is in Uie fact tliat this ship is the
type and precursor of many others that
are to float this Hag. [Applause.] I deem
it an entirely appropriate function that
the l'resident ofthe l'nited Stales should
lift the American llag."
Immediately the silk stars and stripes
was run up, and strings of streamers un
furled, extending over tiie mastheads io
the bow and stern of the big liner. The
President's flag topped tiio mainmast,
the company's now house Hag flouted at
the fore, and the main flag was displayed
at the miz/.en-mast.
Simultaneously with tho appearance of
"(ild < "dory" over the tafl'rail the guns of
the Chicago fired a uatioual salute of
twenty-one guns. Tho navy-yard in
Brooklyn also responded with twenty
one guns, and then followed pandemo
nium, whistling and boll-ringing from
craft in the harbor.
The trip down tho bay was canceled on
account of the storm.
At the conclusion of tho ceremonies
President Harrison retired to the main
saloon, where he held a reception. He
met and shook hands with several hun
dred guests. At 6-JiO the Presidential
party went on board a steamer, which

FINANCIAL SENSATION.
A Georgia Bang Cashier Skips Out,
Leaving Creditors to Mourn.
Atlanta (Ga.), Feb. 22.—The dis
appearance of Assistant Cashier Red wine
of the i iate City National Bank of this

ing a thorough examination of the bank's !
atfairs was made by ollicers ofthe Clear- I
ing-house Association, and they reported i
a defalcation of about .^io.uOU; certainly
no more than tbat. The clearing-house
ollicers declare tho bank can pay depos
itors every cent, and can pay the stock
holders in full.
Tho greatest mystery about tho affair
is Redwine's disappearance. Up to this
timo absolutely no trace can be found of
his whereabouts. It is belioved he has
gono West. Redwine had evidently been
Jiving beyond his means for years. The
bank officials believe Redwine is behind
for several years, but in small amounts.
His position enabled him to cover up his
shortages so they were never discovered.
