>?ew Yoke, March I. —Princess]
Kaiuiani, niece of tho deposed Queon j
l.ilioukalani of Hawaii, arrived to-day on i
the steamer Teutonic. With her wero i
Theophilus Davies anj Mrs. liavios,
English guardians of the Princess; Miss
Davies and Miss Wartoff, companions of
the Princess. K. C. McFarlane, ex
minister of Finance to the dethroned!
Queen Lilioukalani, and Dr. Mott Smith.
it Bawaiian Minster to this coun
try, went down the bay on tho revenue
Gutter Chandler to meet tho young |
Princess. They boarded they ship im
mediately after aho left the Health
Officers 1 boat ding station. Thero wan
• liiite an army of curiosity seekers on the
l>ior to get a glimpse of the Princess. A
s.iito of rooms were engaged for the party
at tho Urevourl House, aud they wore
driven there immediately after coming !
"j the steamship.
The Princess is 18 years old. Sho is a
tall, beautiful young woman, with a j
>■ weet face and slender figure. She has
the soft brown ryes and the dark com
plexion that mark tho Hawaiian beauty.
s.'ie ha- come to \h<- I nited States, sho
said, more for the purpose of learning
:md observing for herself the nature of
i! ■ people who h;;d been asked to take,
control of her country than to make a
formal petition for her crown.
"That," sho said, "is rightfully mine,
and if the Americans aro the noble
minded people I have learned to regard
Hi in as, they will not be a party to an
outrage by-which I have lost my birth
right."
In regard toiler views on tho various
i nects .which the Hawiian Government
is likely to assume the Princess Kaiuiani i
referred to her guardian, 1 >r, Davies, but I
Bne issued the following address:
rl BE PRINCESS 1 &.D1 !■!>-.
"'Jo the American People: I nbidden
I -t;inJ upon your shores to-day where 1
i! aught so soon to receive a royal wul- j
come on my way to my own kingdom. I \
come unattended, except by lo\ ing hearts i
that come with me over tho wintry seas, j
I hear that Commissioners from my land I
have been for many days asking this
fjn>at nation to tal.'e away my little vine- '
yard. They speak no word to me, and;
bavc mo to find out as lean from runu -
of the air that, would leave me without!
li' 'iin- or name or nation.
"Seventy years ago Christian America j
sent uvcr Christian men and women to j
give religion and civilization to Hawaii.!
They gave us gospel, they ma le us a na
tion, and we learned to love and trust
America. To-day three of the sons of
those missionaries axe at your Capitol
asking you to undo th^ir father's work,
Who sent them? Who gave them author
ity to break the Constitution they swore I
thej would uphold? To-day, I a poor
weak girl, with not one of my people
near me, and all these Hawaiian states
men against me, have strength to stand
up for the rights of my people. Even now
J can hear the wail in my heart, ami it
j'.nes me strength and courage, and I am
Strong, Btrong in the faith of « lod, strong
ill the knowledge that tarn iii;iit, strong
in the strength that the .seventy millions
of people who are in this free land will
hear my cry, and will refuse to let their
Hag cover dishonor to mine."
S 1 A 1 EMENT !>'■ .!■ IVIES.
Pavies made a Btatetnant as follows:
"Alter the revolutionjof 1887 Thurston
came into power, anil enjoyed very gen
erally the confidence of the natives ami
foreigners. At that time, the Princess
Kaiuiani, heiress presumptive, was l!
yean of age, and it was felt to be very
important that sho should bo sent en
tirely away from the .surroundings and
influences of Hawaiian court life, in order
that she might be trained In a quiet borne
atmosphere which would enable her to
more fitly take up her future position as
sovereign. Thurston repeatedly urged
that the young Princess should be sent
to England with this object in view, and
in l!r>S!'. when she was 13 years o;' age. the
plan was carried out, and i'nne-ss Kuiu
lan] was sent to England in charge of a
lady who was about to Bpend a year in
Europe, and who undertook to place her
at a suitable school, which had already
been selected,
"At the end of the first year t'.:e result
was deemed ao satisfactory that Kalan
fcua was persuaded to consent to a con
tinuance of the young Princess*stay in I
England, and ns the lady whOyhad been
her chaperon bud to return to Honolulu,
v request was made by the father of the
Princess, with the written concurrence of
tho King and the Princess Uliuokal&ni,
that Mrs. Davies and myself would act as
guardians during tho Princess 1 stay iv
England. Prino ss Kaiuiani has thus
been entirely as one of our own children,
I oat all her holidays with us.
one idea aiv.l our ono idea has i
prepare her for a return to her own land
during the present year, when she attains
iier majority.
"One of the 1-ist acts of the Hawaiian
Legislature, of which four of the fi'vo I
now at Washington wer
. rs, was to . I
for tbe expenses of the return tour
heiress apparent Arrangements w
progress for her reception by the .
of England, daring the coming spring,
and lUeii sho was to make ■ prolonged |
visit to Washington, Uew York.Ohl
Boston and other American cities, finally :
n acnlng Honolulu In < tateber or Novem- j
ber for her coming of age.
"When Ukj news reached mo by
of a revolution in Hawaii, I wrote to the
Minister, pointing out what appeared to
mo to be grave difficulties iv the way of !
, rying out by the Commissioners of |
tho proposal lor annexation. I stated j
that in my opinion no amount of reas n-
Isg aud no amount of bribery wou'.d ever i
THE RECORD-UNION.
I gain a pure Hawaiian vote, and without
that vote annexation could be neither i
completed nor carried out hereafter. I ;
then urged that a council of all classes of
voters should be called, carefully revise
the Constitution presentod them: that tho i
Queen should be requested to abdicate
and the Princess Kaiuiani should be pro
claimed Queen, with a Council of Ke
gency, of which I suggested that Dole,
now head of the Provisional Oovern
-1 ment, should be President. < In February
i 14th I received this cablegram from
Washington: 'Islands transferred; Prin- |
cess provided for.'
"Whether this cablegram was to be i
c nsidered an official communication, I j
do not know, but was the only commu
nication which reached me, and abso- j
! lutely none has reached the Princess.
i The most striking fact of this cablegram,
j next apparent to heartlessness, is that its
accuracy was not confirmed by any <- te
j grams that had been published in Kng
■ land. Why it was sent, or who sent it, I
I do not know, l.ut as loyal guardians and
I faithful friends, thero was only one thing
for us to do, to stand beside the Princess j
in tho presence of those representatives j
of Hawaii who would transfer her birth- I
; right without civility, humanity, or ono |
: word to her of explanation or even of
sympathy.
"We come hero with no official status
and no official information, but with the
conviction that the Government and peo- )
pie of tho United States will not lend |
| their countenance to the disinheritance •
for no fault alleged against her or her
nation. This royal lady nas with singu
lar grace and courage endeavored to lit
herself for her high station, and shrunk I
from neither duty norsacrilico in that
effort,
"1 leel a good deal of sympathy for the
Commissioners, who must find thom
selves in a position of great embarrass
ment. Several of thorn wero concerned !
in thf preparation Of Uie Hawaiian Con- ;
stitution in 1887, which they compelled
the King to accept and still maintain. At
least lour of the Commissioners have
taken oath to the same Constitution, and
it has been adopted by the nation. When
J.iliuokalani ascended tho throne she
took the usual oath, and by that Consti
tution tho Princess Kaiuiani was pro
claimed heiress to the throne. The
Quei □ appears to have violated her con
stitutional oath and laid herself open to
deposition, but that cannot affect the Con
stitution itself nor tho oaths which the I
Commissioners took.
"There is no preten.-e that tho Hawaiian j
electorate ever knew of a revolution at
the date of tho Commissioners' departure j
on their present mission, and it is diffi-1
cult to see how they can bo sufficiently j
'■ doiine their present position as t-> enable j
them to write to the heiress apparent and
announce to her tho circumstances of
! their arrival. 1 do not for ■*. moment be
lieve any of them would be guilty of in
tentional cruelty or even discourtesy to
the Princess, and the inconceivable treat
u □< which their silence toward her has
j betrayed them into must arise from the
difficulty they find in reconciling their
I present attitude, with tho knowledge that I
their oath to sustain the Hawaiian Con
stitution binds them to tho succession of
the Princess, unless the nation itself re- j
; leases them from that oath."
In tho short talk Davies said ho was de
lighted to learn that the question of the
annexation of Hawaii had taken a turn j
| in the Senate, and was practically laid j
■ over for the consideration of the ne>:t ad- !
i ministration. "Wo do not mean to get a I
I hearing with President Cleveland in any
o:lieial capacity," lie said, "but simply as i
private indivuals. What his decision is
will scarcely be allectod by our visit. Tho !
Princess felt in tho face of tho threatened I
annexation of Hawaii by tho United j
States that she ought to come hero, where
sho could learn directly what was the
true sentiment of the people. We will
remain here until after March 4th. From
here we proceed to Washington, w here
we expect to see Mr. Cleveland."
NEEDHAM WHIPPED.
Australian Maber I>p|p:itsi Him in the
Thirty-Fifth Hound.
Butte (Mont.:, March I.—Twelve hun
dred people witnessed the light between
W. a. Maber, the Australian welter
weight, and iianuie Neeuhain of St. Paul
; c the Butte Athletic Club last even
ing. Both men fought at about 147 j
pounds and wero in good condition. 1
Duncan McDonald of Helena, was referee. !
Australian had the advantage of
Keedham in hiyiit. being about two j
inches taller, and having a longer reach. I
In the second and seventeenth rounds
Needham knocked Maber down with ;••
terrific left-hand blow in the face. The
next six rounds wore devoid of incident,
but in tho following one Maber gave
Needham several upper-cuts, and the lat
ter had to clinch to save himself. In the '
I twenty-filth both appeare I fresh and ex- !
changed several hard blows. In tho I
twenty-seventh Maber caught a left-hand
swing on the face and went down.
The lighting from this limo on was in •
the Australian's favor. He possessed a
faculty for delivering hard blows on a
breakaway, aud in tins manner ho made
it unpleasant for his opponent. In the
thirty-fourth round Needham rec < I
! more punishment about the face, and tho
blood made its appearance from a cut in
I the lip. His left eye was almost i .
In the next rouu i Needfiain received a
terrific upper-cut and went down, when
\ the referee awarded the tight to Maber,
saying .Needham would li^ht until he
died. The light lasted two hours and
twenty minutes. Maber was not badly
| punished, having only a badly swollen
: eye. i !>■ li^hl was for a purso of |

Hoisk (Idaho), March I.—There was si
! sensation in the Semite this afternoon, j
caused by two of the honorable gentle
men coming to blows. They wero Brown ]
[Dem.) of Uingham and Rinck (Pop.) of I
j Alturas. The latter bad been opposing j
the passage of a bill creating the county I
Of Fremont. In the course of the debate !
be wont up in front of the President's
j desk, and, shaking; his finger at that of
ficer in a. menacing manner, asked him
whether lie (the I'resident) was a creature
of the Senate, or vice versa.
There had been a difference of opinion
as to the status of the bill, and the chair i
had ruled against Rinck, who then wont
over to the desk of Johnson, another j
Populist, with whom Brown was talking, j
In an undertone Rinok said, with an
oath: "Well, put them on record."
Brown being one of those referred to,
| took offense at the remarks, and forth
j with slapped Rinck in the face. The \
latter responded with a blow on the head, i
Friends rushed in and separated them.
A scene of confusion followed, and tbe !
Sergeant-at-Arms was called in to restore ;
order.
1 luring the trouble Neill (Democrat) of
Shoshone came in from the ["resident's |
room and asked some questions. Rinck
called to him to go into the cloak room.
Neill, white with rage, replied: "Do you I
| think a thing like you can drive me into
I the cloak-room? " and advanced toward
the Populist Senator. A collision of a
I serious character was prevented by the
. intervention of other Senators. Tho at-
J tempts to restore order were futile, and
j the Senate liually took a recess until
i evening.

Special to tlie RECORD-UNION.
Washington, March I.—The reception
j tendered to-night by the Vice-President
; and Mrs. Morton to Vi<-e-President-elect
i and Mrs. [Stevenson at their residence
i marked another deviation by Mr. Morton
I from the traditions surrounding his posi
. lion. It is an unprecedented thing for
;an outgoing Vice- President to bestow
j any recognition, official or social, upon
his successor, but when cards were issued
giving notification of tho Vice-Presi-
I dent's intention to thus honor his suc
i cessor it was felt to be a gracious and
i proper courtesy.
Morton served in the House with Stev
enson, and ever since then there has ex-
I isted between them a sincere mutual
esteem. In anticipation of tho event
Morton's elegant mansion was decorated
with palms, ferns, foliage, plants and cut
flowers. Mr. and Mrs. Morton received
i the guests in the, doorway separating tho
j parlor from the corridor. At their side
I stood Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson, to whom
| the passing throng were introduced in
turn by tho host.
It was a distinguished and ropresenta
j live gathering that greeted the new official
I aud his wife. Members of the Senate
| were present almost en masse, also mem-
I hers of the Cabinet, Assistant Secretaries
and department heads of the bureaus, the
• .New York and Illinois delegations in tho
| i Souse of Representatives, Justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States and
I of tho District of Columbia and Court of
Claims, diplomatic corps in all their bril
liancy, insignia of tneir several orders
and honors, heads of the army and navy,
and a good sprinkling of subordinate
officers.
In addition to these official guests, the
I Vice-President and Mrs. Morton pre
sented lo Mr. aud Mrs. Stevenson a largo
number of thetr personal friends.
During the evening admirable musical
selections wero rendered by tho famous
Marine Haul, under the new leader, Pro
fessor Fanciulll. and an elegant collation
was served in the dining-room. Among
j the guests were members ol Stevenson's
i party, who accompanied him from Hloom
| ington, including his son and daughter.
President Harrison held his last in
! formal public reception at the White
J House this afternoon. It is estimated
that L,500 people paid their respects to the
President, and bah that number failed to
get into the east room before the recep
tion ended.

rising in New Jersey against the cor
ruption of the Legislature, which recently
i passed threo racetrack bills legalizing
racing in winter and gambling tlioreon.
I attracts wide attention and extended com
ment here. The papers devote a large

I and to the indignation meeting at Tren
ton, where hundreds of the protestants
went to-day l>y special trains from all
over the St;ito.
Among the numerous memorials taken
to Trenton protesting against the passage
; of the measures was one signed almost
! unanimously by the students of Rutgers
College and the New Bruuwick Theo
logical Seminary, likewiso the members
of tho faculties in both institutions.
In connection with this matter and the
ovils of the poolrooms in this vicinity the
Post prints a long New Haven special,
showing the enormity of tho ovil in Con
necticut. There are said to be five pool
rooms in Connecticut, all of which play
daily, except Sunday, on tho (Juttenborg
and (iloucester races. They are situated in
■ the larger cities, but they have agencies \
j in tho smaller towns surrounding and |
are stoadily covering and increasing tho

situated almost in the exact center of the
| city—perliaps live minutes' walk from
Yale College. This single room is said to
pay a profit of $1,000 a week. Each after
noon it has been attended by some 200
patrons, most of thorn young men. About
j one-quarter have been Yale students.

taken refuse at tho inaugural ceremonies
at Washington. Citizens began pouring i
'■ in from all over tho State about <J o'clock
this morning, and by l 6 nearly every
county in tho State was represented.
I'olities and religion seemed to have
nothing to do with the demonstration, as
Democrats, Republicans aud Prohibition

I ignored, for Protestant ministers and
Catholic priests conferred together.
Rev. Dr. Eempsnall, President of the
Anti-Racing League, and at the head of a
