A H ouster Petition Against Annex
ation Said to Be Coming.
Prepared by the Nutlves at Liliuo
Ualnnl's Request uuil to Be Pre
sented by Her in Person.
It was rumored yesterday In official 'Ir
cles that a monstrous petition fpmi the
waive Hawailans Is on its way from Hono
lulu to Washington, or at least that it has
been prepared and may bs expected on auy
steamer.
The statement Is that this petition' has
been signed by thousands of the natl.'e
Hawaiians, and that It recites mora of the
cgaments that have been made by the
cv-Qucen, Lilluokalani, and asks that the
Hawaiian treaty be cither withdrawn by
the Administration or not ratified by The
Senate.
The petition shows, it Is asserted, that
by fai the majority of the population of
the island is not in favor of annexation,
and that they wish to rrturn to the old
loiin of government nnder the que-'n.
The statement Is that Queen Llllaokalnnl
litrself asked the native Hawaiian- for
this petition and secured their signatures
to it, and that she will present it herself
wln-n It arrives in this country.
It is also stated on excellent authority
that if this plan fails and the treaty comes
up before the Senate for ratification,
Queen Lilluokalani has another move to
make. A certain Senator from one of
the Western States will move that before
the treaty be ratified by the Senate a
vote of the legal electors on the island
be secured on the ratification. Queen
Lilluokalani was at the Capitol for several
hours yesterday in the marble room on
this matter.
The effectiveness or this petition In the
way of an argument has been suggested
It is believed to be the first petition ever
6ent this Government by foreigners, and
may, it is thought, have a peculiar weight
for this reason with many people.

AX INJUNCTION ASKED FOn.
Mr. Ully Seeks to Restrain the
Knights of Jerusalem.
J. W-. Lilly yesterday filed a suit for
an injunction against Nlmrad Encamp
ment, Nd. 1, Ancient Order of tlie Knights
of Jerusalem, to prevent tlie defendants
publishing or uslug certain books on which
the complainant claims to possess a copy
right. In the bill of complaint the plaintiff
claims that in 1876 he prepared the
ritual of the Ancient Order ot Knights
and Daughters of Jerusalem, wtilah he had
copyrighted. He also prepared four
other works for the use of the order in
itssecrct proceedings. In 1891. he alleges,
he made an arrangement witli the order.m
which It wtvs agreed to pay him one cent
for every adult member, and half a cent
for every minor member quarterly as a
royalty for these works. The payments
ceased In the fall of 1893 and he there
fore asks for the restraining order.
Mr. Benedict and Mr. IIowpll.
To the Editor of TIia Times:
narold Benedict's letter in Monday's
Times, the subject ot which was the re
instatement it an old soldier, Mr. Saraacl
Dean nowells, to his former position In
the Government Printing Office, has been
read by aUtlie printersin the District, and
a hearty laugh at the expense of Harold
has been the result. It Is generally be
lieved among the boys at the orfice and
who should know better? that Harold
Benedict, when reduced from foreman of
the proof loom to proofreader, did not think
himself capable or fulfilling the duties or
that offiinr. Rather than submit to the
mortification, embarrassment and publicity
of his incompetency, which, would surely
have followed had he accepted, he refcjned.
Mr. HovelLsifccarcruU competent, painstaking-,
and in every w.ay qualified to fulfill
the duties- of his- office, and the "funny
man'vfrom Brooklyn, formerly of Washing
ton, exhibits his usual cheap wit Jthis time
at a man far his superior in every respect.
Is It not. another case of "tart grapes?'

Settlement of Lnnd Titles.
Senator McMillan introduced a biU yes
terday which contemplates a simplifi
cation ot the t-etth'ment or land titles. It
is known as the Torrens land system, and
Is now In force in Illinois- The biU la
quite long und sets out in detail the new
court machinery that Is put in operation,
how land is to be brought under the act,
tlipduUcsof the court.rees, etc. Underthe
term" of this acta land owner is enabled
to straighten out his titles aud keep them
in good condition. It makes the dosing
up ot a title a matter of court procedure,,
and will do away entirely with abstract
and title companies.
