IN HER OWN HANDWRITING
Diary of Hawaii's Ex-Queen to
Be Used Against Her
ON TRIAL FOR TREASON
tier Majesty Pleads Ignorance Regarding
the Revolution
Late Advices From the Islands Shed New
Light on the Recent Outbreak
of the Royalists
San Francisco, Feb. is. -The steamer
Mariposa arrived this morning, bringing
the following advices from Honolulu, un
der date February 8, !»!)•">:
Liliuokalani Doininis, the ex-Queen of
Hawaii, was arraigned on the sth instant,
on a charge of misprision of treason. The
deposed monarch, who is represented by
Paul' Neumann, refused n> plead, so a
plea of not guilty was entered. The testi
mony of witnesses sufficed to prove to an
impartial observer that she was aware the
rebellion was to be started.
The Queen was placed on the stand in
her own behalf. The direct examination
was confined to an alleged conversation
between her and Charles Clark, who testi
fied that, he informed her of the proposed
rebellion. She denied that any such con
versation took place.
After her examination was concluded a
statement written by her was tiled. It
commences with a history since the time
She was deposed, and goes on to say:
"The movement undertaken hy the Ha
waiians last month was absolutely com
menced without my knowledge, sanction,
consent or assistance, directly or indi
rectly, and this fact is, in truth, well
known to those who took part in it.
"I received ho Information from any
one in regard to arms which were or
which were to be procured, nor of any
men who were induced, or to be induced,
to join in any such uprising.
"1 do not know why this information
should have been withheld from me, un
less it was with a view to my personal
safety or or a precautionary measure. It
wonld not have received, my sanction, and
I can assure the gentlemen of this com
mission that, had I known of any such
intention, I wouid have dissuaded the
promoters from the venture. But [ will
add that hart I known, their secret-* would
have been mine and inviolately pre
served,
"That I intended to change any cab
inet and to appoint certain officers of the
kingdom, in the event of my restoration,
I will admit ; but that I or any one known
to me had, in part or in whole, estab
lished a new government is not true.
Before the 24th of January, 1806, the day
upon which I formally abdicated and
called upon my people to recognize the
Republic of Hawaii as the only lawful
government of these islands, and to sup
port that Government, I claim that I had
the right to select a cabinet in anticipa
tion of a possibility, and the history of
other governments supports this right.
"I must deny your right to try me in
the manner and by the court which you
have celled together for this purpose. In
ynur actions you violate your own consti
tution and laws, which are now the con
stitution and laws of the laud."'
The most damaging evidence against
I.iliuokalani will he her personal diary,
which was found in her residence after
her arrest. Whether this wili be intro
duced and made public at her trial will
depend very much upon the course pur
sued by her counsel in defending her case.
Ths ex-Queen recorded her thoughts, de
sires and impressions very freely, nnd if
her diary could he published in full it
would make interesting reading, not only
toHawaiians, but also to the people in
the TTnited Slates. The champion of
royalty seems to have been ou very inti
mate and friendly terms with I'resident
Cleveland, an entry made during last
summer stating: "J. Q. Carter called to
day and delivered President Cleveland's
present to me." What this present was is
not staled.
Ip to the time of the return of the
special commission, which went to Wash
ington to interview President Cleveland,
the ex-Queen records herself as favoring a
waiting policy, confident that the Ameri
can administration would interfere in her
behalf. After Cleveland's answer to the
commission she became more aggressive
and began to listen with favor to those
urging an uprising on the part of the na
tives.
According to the diary, Rudolph Spreck
els called to see her often and is repre
sented as advising her to light it out. She
did not agree with him, until during his
last .stay iv Honolulu. He; indicated that
ehe could get plenty of money in Han
Francisco to buy arms and carry out a
eucccssful rebellion. He is also repre
sented as a willing agent of her ladyship.
The last entry of the diary was made
December '.S3, 1894, and closed with:
"Signed eleven commissions today."
These were the commissions for tiie offi
cers of the near government referred to in
the testimony of her private secretary.
The documents have been concealed or
destroyed., and her attorney has en
deavored to prove that they never ex
isted. This eratry clinches the govern
ment's position.
The military court will probably bring
in v verdict of guilty in the case of the ex
•pueen, notwithstanding her denial. Sen
tence will bt» passed, but it is believed
that she will not be imprisoned, but will
be showed freedom on her own recog
nizors cc.
Tin*' next case to be tried will be that of
Jonah Kianonole. He was a Prince under
the nmivirchy and was to be King in case
the rebelKon was successful. The Queen
«,. to abdicate in his favor in order to
keep Pi-inces.3 Kiaulani from the throne.
JhH fact was well known by the English
resident) who have but little sympathy
for ihe ex-Queen and her rebellious ad
herent;-.
I'lie Warrimoo's departure for Victoria
wh delayed for two hours in order to
g • Johnstone, Muller and Cranatoun,
t is banished men, an opportunity to see
tlictr : - est>cctive counsels.
Johnstone talked to British Commis
sioner Hawes, after which he stated that
h was satisfied to go. Cranstoun saw
Minister Willis, who protested to the
(Invernment, claiming that it had no
rijrht to send the men out of the country
lirst giving them atrial. The
(it't'man Consul also objected in the case
... Muller.
a iter tbe steamer sailed Minister Willis
LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATTRDAT MORNTXG, FEBRUARY 16, 1895.
boarded the Philadelphia and had a con
ference with Admiral Beardslee.
Willis is still a thorn in the side of the
Government, aud his every movement is
watched anxiously, as it is feared that he
may call the forces of the Philadelphia to
his aitl in case the Government decides to
hang William Seward, one of the men con
demned by the military court.
The Advertiser recently published an
editorial commenting unfavorably- upon
the course of the American Minister in
relation to Cranstoun's deportation. F.
M. Hatch, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
sent a letter to the editor expressing the
desirability of exercising caution in ed
itorial comments upon the official conduct
of the United States representative in Ha
waii.
The Government is collecting evidence
against Rudolph Spreckels, but no move
will be made in his case until the authori
ties are absolutely certain that he was
mixed up in the rebellion.
A rumor was started this morning to
the effect that Carl Widemann, William
Greig and Louis Marshall, three men con
victed of treason, were to be deported to
day, along with a number of others.
When told of the rumor, a Cabinet officer
stated that there was no truth in the
story. He said that the Government had
no intention of sending the men named
away. They will be kept in jail until the
sentence of the military court is carried
out.
ENGLAND TAKES A HAND
The British Commissioner Instructed te
Investigate Rickard's Case
London, Feb. 15. —Sir F.dward Gray, in
response to an inquiry in the House of
Commons as lo the condition of affairs in
Hawaii, laid that Hawes, the British Com
missioner, has been instructed by cable to
ask for delay in the execution of the Eng
lishman Rickard, condemed to death by
court-martial, if he has been convicted
of complicity only in the the uprising, or
the actual participation, without having
had a fair and open trial with a full op
portunity to defend himself. In either
ease the evidence upon which Rickard's
conviction is based is to he sent home,
and Hawes has been instructed to act in
concert with his United States colleague,
who has received similar instructions from
his government in the case of the Ameri
can, Seward, condemned to death.
REDLANDS WATER RATES
Battling in the Board of Trustees for
Low Ones
Allegation* That Meter Rates Are Charged in
Summer and Monthly Ones In
Winter Denied
Redlands, Fob. 15. —At the afternoon
session of the City Trustees Thursday,
little was accomplished in the way of
adopting water wates. Geo. A. Cook,
president of the Domestic Water Com
pany, p/esented to the board a list of
water rates adopted in other cities of the
state. It showed the rate here to be the
lowest.
Mr. Cook stated that the company used
about 300 inches of water. In reply to
tiie question if the company charged
meter rates in summer and monthly rates
in winter, as some had alleged, Mr. Cook
said that such was not the case.
H. W. Allen, superintendent of the
CompftßTJTi met with the board in the
evening. The trustees endeavored to
learn the real cost of the plant, so as to
adopt rates allowing the company but a
fair rate of interest on its investment.
The present actual value of the plant was
estimated at $106,200. This does not in
clude that part of the plant in Terracing,
costing 18800.
The rates proposed by the company
were changed as they relate to meters,
being reduced from 15 cents per 1000 gal
lons, for a quantity not exceeding 15.000,
to 12cents; and for all over 15.000 gallons
from 8 cents to 6 cents per 1000 gallons.
B. W. Cane and I. N. Hoag were pres
ent and urged the adoption ol the low
rates. The discussion lasted until nearly
12 o'clock. The fixing of the rates will
be legally acted upon at the regular meet
ing. Wednesday evening, February 20.
The hoard adjourned lo S:3O a. m.

Proposition to Amend the Meat Inspection
System A Vote on Naval Appropriations
Looked for on Monday
Washington, Feb. l. r >.—The Senate con
fined itself strictly to business today, and
as a result passed the postofHce appropria
tion bill and got half through the agri
cultural appropriation bill. Efforts were
resumed to cut down rentals for postal
cars and for the Eastern fast mail service
North and South, but all these amend
ments were defeated by decisive majori
ties. Secretary Morton was present dur
ing the debate on the agricultural bill. It
hrought out an animated discussion of
tho proposition to amend the meat in
spection system in order to get Ameri
can meats into foreign countries. Dur
ing the day the pooling bill was taken
up long enough to permit a speech in its
support by Mr. Butler, in charge of the
bill. The Finance Committee reported
favorably the bill repealing the one-tenth
discriminating duty on sugar from coun
tries paying a sugar bounty, and Mr. Al
drieh submitted a motion to recommit
the bill to the committee with instruc
tions to add provisions for reciprocity
bounty on domestic sugar and for meet
ing treasury deficiencies. No action was
taken on the report of the motion to re
commit.
The House considered the naval appro
priation bill, and devoted the day to the
general debate. The bill carries $31,817,
--003, and authorizes the three new line-of
battle ships and twelve torpedo boats.
The features of the hill providing for the
new ships were supported by Messrs. Tftl
bot. polliver, Pendleton, Money, Weadock
ami Meyer. The general debate will close

be reached On Monday.
THE POOLING BILL
Senator Butler Finds Fault With Mr. Chand
ler's Statement
Washington. Feb. 18.—Mr. Hill. Demo
crat of New York, ami Mr. Hale, Repub
lican of Maine, hail a little tilt In the
Senate today. Mr. Hill complained of the
slowness of the Districtof Columbia Com
mittee in acting upon v suburban railway
bill, in which Xew York men are inter
ested.
Mr. Harris, of the Finance Committee,
reported favorably the bill repealing the
one-tenth differential on sugar from
bounty paying countries.
Mr. Aldrich, Republican of Rhode
Island, in behalf of the Republican mem
bers of the committee, presented a motion
for the re-enactment of the reciprocity
feature of the tariff act of END. The re
port and the resolution went to the calen
dar.
Mr. Butler then spoke at length in sup
port of the railroad pooling hill- Mr.
Butler said the headlines of Mr. Chand
ler's speech in the Congressional Record
referring to a gigantic pooling partner
ship ,'was teeming with Munchausen
ism." Mr. Chandler's gigantic partner
ship was in truth a "gigantic bugaboo."
Mr. Bui ler offered the opinion of experts
showing that out of J700.000.000 of rail
road traffic only H0.000,000 would he
pooled if Ihe bill passed. The Butler
resolution was laid Hsiile and the post
office appropriation bill taken up. Sev
eral amendments were presented and ne
feated.
The postorhVe appropriation bill was
then passed without opposition.
The agricultural appropriation bill was
taken up. Secretary Morton came on the
tioor while the bill was being discussed.
The proposed amendment lo the meat in
spection law occasioned some discussion.
Mr. Call said the present inspection
laws were being evaded.
Mr. Piatt declared this was a covert
plan to make a whole extension of the
meat inspection system, and it could not
be justified as a means of conciliating
Germany.
"If Germany wants to retaliate," said
he, ' she should know it is a game two
could play at."
Mr. Vest said that the change was in
behalf of health and life and not to bene
fit dackingshouses. Mr. Cullom said it
was imperative in getting American
meats into foreign markets.
No final action was taken on the change
in meat inspection items of the bill, but
was laid aside.
A bill was passed to authorize the Okla
homa Central Railroad to construct a
road through the Indian and Oklahoma
territories.
The Senate then held a brief executive
session and then adjourned.
TORPEDOES AND BATTLESHIPS
Representative Everett Thinks There Will Be
No riore Wars
Washington, Feb. 15.—The House met
at 11 o'clock today. A bill was passed
by unanimous consent for an additional
Judge for the Ninth (Pacific slope) Judic
ial District. Beltzhoover (Pa.), chairman
of the Committee on War Claims, at
tempted to claim the day under the rule
for consideration of bills on the private
calendar, but was antagonized by Talbott
of the Naval Committee, who desired to
call up the naval appropriation bill.
The Senate Finance Committee has
agreed to report favorably the House bill
repealing the tenth of a cent discrimina
tive duty on sugar imported from bounty
paying districts.

osition of Blackburn to reduce the rental
paid for railway postal care was defeated
—yeas 15, nays 3fJ.
Mr. Dolliver, Republican of lowa, con
tinued the debate in support of the prop
osition for building the new ships. He
believed the development of a navy and
merchant marine should go hand in band.
Mr. Hall, Democrat of Missouri, opposed
the proposed navy. He called attention
to the fact that of the 130 commanders in
the American navy but twenty seven were
performing sea service.
Mr. Money, Democrat of Mississippi, a
member of the Naval Committee, made a
strong plea for the appropriation for the
new ships on the ground that they were
absolutely necessary for the defense of
our coasts.
Mr. Everett took the position that at the
present and prospective demands on the
treasury, costly warships were extravagant
luxuries. In "a glowing peroration that
riveted the attention of the House, Mr.
Everett declared war of the past a relic oi
an effective civilization. For the future
there was peace, and the country that
would carry its issue to the arbitrament of
arms would be branded with the mark of
Cain. Messrs. Weadock and Meyer closed
the debate for the day in favor of the ap
propriation for the new ships.
The House disagreed to the Senate
amendments to extend the time for mak
ing income tax returns and sent it to con
ference. A bill was passed to authorise
the construction of a wagon bridge across
the Yellowstone river in Derby county.
Montana.
At ."• o'clock the Holise took a recess
until S o'clock, the evening session to be
devoted to the consideration of private
pension hills.
FINANCIAL LEGISLATION
The Democrats Hake Their Last Hard Fig hi
in Congress
Washington, Feb. 1,">.--There seems tn
be Utile doubt that yesterday s fight was
the final rally in the campaign of the ad
ministration Democrats for financial
legislation in this Congress. Members
who are supposed to know the mind of
the President say that he recognizes that
it is futile to attempt to secure any sort id
legislation for the Treasury, and they as
sert that he will not again recommend
congressional action of any kind upon
the finances. These Democrats are
disposed to put upon the Repub
licans the blame for failure of
the resolution reported by the Ways and
Means Committee, for their part? many
Republicans who Saturday would not
have opposed the gold provision in a
bond issue, had the proposition been un
incumbered by other wotOTS, cv|)lain
their negative votes by saying that they
could not assent to* contract made with
private parties for taking the bonds when
they believed the issue could have been
advantageously disposed of by public
competition in this country.

SCANDAL IN ARIZONA
Serious Charges Hade Against Governor
Hughes
Phoenix, Feb. 15. —The Saturday Re
view will publish tomorrow an expose of
Governor Hughes' efforts in defeating a
suit enjoining the payment of iflh',ooo
worth of warrants which, it is claimed,
were illegally issued by the Territorial
Loan Commission two years ago. The
point raised is the questionable action of
appointing all attorney to represent the
territory in suit who was already the at
torney for the Treasurer, the party the
action sought to enjoin.
The suit was brought by ex-Attorney-
General Henry before he resigned. Tne
now Attorney-General, Satterwhite, was
attorney for ex-Auditor Thomas Hughes,
a brother of Governor Hughes and a mem
ber of the old commission. Therefore
Satterwhite is disqualified and 14.I 4 . H.
Chalmers, attorney aforesaid, appointed.
The suit was * dismissed on the
ground that it was brought with
out the consent of the Governor.
As soon as the case was dismissed, so the
story goes, the Treasurer advertised the
warrants, and before the taxpayers could
enjoin, paid them. The Review, in an
interview with ex-Attorney Henry, says
that on the day of the Democratic con
vention, and inside of an hour after John
C. Herndon was nominated as a delegate
to Congress, Hughes satd to Henry "We
must beat Herndon, elect Murphy and
defeat statehood." Henry replied, "I
helped nominate the ticket, and 1 will
Stay by it. *\ Further than that, Henry's
worst enemies helieve him an able and
honest lawyer. Without sitting in judg
ment, the Review believes that as the
case was entered without protest, argued
and submitted, the court should nave
been allowed to review the case and pass
on it.
SANTA FE EMPLOYEES
Their Wages Can Be Oarnlsheed but Not
Collected
Bt. Louis, Feb. 15.—United States Cir
cuit Judge Henry C. Caldwell has recently
been asked many questions as to the atti
tude of the court in the matter of garn
ishment suits against receivers of the
Santa Fe and Frisco roads to secure the
payments of debts owed by employees.
Today he placed on file in the clerk's
office a letter which is intended to be an
answer to cover all such queries. The let
ter is as follows:
"You will not be 'in contempt' of any
court over which I preside by suing out a
writ of garnishment to garnishee the
wages of an employee of the receivers of
the Atchison, Topelta and Santa Fe Rail
way Company, but if you get judgment
against the receivers as garnishee you
cannot levy upon the property in their
possession as receivers or otherwise com
pel them to pay it by any process issued
from the court rendering the garnishee
judgment.
"The receivers and the men employed
by them are employed in every depart
ment by the Government; jurors and wit
nesses, criers and bailiffs, and every em
ployee of a court, including its receivers
and their employees, are entitled by law
to have their salaries, fees and wages
paid to them personally or to such agent
as they shall appoint. Neither the Gov
ernment nor any of its departments
including the judicial, can be garnisheed
for the salaries, wages or fees of its
officers, agents or employees. By an or
der of the court this rule is applied to
the employees of the court in the service
of its receivers, and 1 must decline to
vary it to meet your case.
"The court will not pay the wages of
the employee to anyone but the employee
himself, nor will it sentence him to dis
missal from the service, as you suggest
and reccommend, because he does not
pay his debts.
"The court has no authoriyt to punish
men for not paying their debts."

The most successful amateur entertain
ment ever given in this city was that ren

Guild of St. John's Episcopal Church.
The performance was a surprise alike to
the immense audience which packed the
immense opera liouse in every part, to the
friends who had watched the rehearsals,
to the ladies in charge of the Belles them
selves. Until the audience was before
them the young ladies had no idea that
they couhi give a perfect performance—one
that entirely satisfied tne love for good
negro muilo, healthful humor and chaste
fun. Their success was complete and in
stantaneous.
A more sympathetic, good natured au
dience could not be imagined. There was
a warm reception when the curtain rose
and revealed the semi-circle of minstrels
clad in Eton jackets, white shirts, broad
collars, and black skirts, which reached to
the shoe-tops, They caught the house
with the opening chorus, and from that
until the curtain went down at tlie close
of the cake walk the audience did nothing
but to laugh and applaud, and with the
latter they were prodigal.

MONETARY CONFERENCE
A Member of the Relchstaf Wants fjermany
to Call It
Berlin, Feb. 10.—Count yon Mirbach,
Conservative, introduced a resolution in
the Reichstag today, instructing the Fed
eral Government of Germany to issue
invitations for an international monetary
conference to take measures to bring
about the rehabilitation of silver as a cir
culating medium.
Mirbach said that the moment had now
arrived for Germany to take the initiativ
in settling this question, which is of grea
importance.
Brmetallism would cause the rise of all
prices in England, where gold was the
currency. Agriculture would be ruined if
the present system was maintained,
America would either absorb Germany's
gold or adopt a pure silver standard and
capture the whole eastern trade.
The Knights of Labor Trouble
Philadelphia, Feb. 15.—Sovereign and
others of the executive board of the
Knights of Labor pooh-pooh the Western
Secession from the Knights. They say
thai Wilson, the new chief, and tie-
Michael, are not Knights anyhow. They
deny that the Knights of Labor poverty
palace in Philadelphia is mortgaged for
ifi'no.ooo. It cost only 960,000 and carries
a $20,(100 mortgage, and their enemies
can make precious little capital on such
yarns.
