On December 19, 1863, she married aua, high chief in government employ, but ignorant of the great fu- ture in store for him. In 1874 destiny called Kalakaua to the throne and the consequent coronation of Kaplolani as Queen Consort. From that day she de- voted her best energles to the welfare and social improvement of her people, especially the women and children, of and, being childless, she embraced the s her family and loved it dearly. Her sit to the United States and Great Britain on the occasion of Queen Victoria’s jubilee is still fresh in the memory of the readers of The Call After the death of King Kalakaua, in San Francisco in 1891, the Queen Dow- ager lived in peaceful retirement and increased her interest in charitable and beneficial duties. Since the volution of 1893 she has earned the good-will of the party in power by a total abst nence from even the slightest approach whole nation & ® 4 & B S SP NP P soe @ to interference.in politics and almost to the extent of having to bear the si- lent reproach of many of her people of being too friendly and too quietly acquiescent in the revolutionary acts of the Provisional Government and the re- public, which in turn dealt liberally to- ward her. On being notified of the death of Queen Kapiolani the Cabinet, in the absence of President Dole from the| capital, immediately lowered the St and Stripes on the executive and othe government buildings and notified the forelgn representatives, who promptly half-masted thelr national flags. The Cabinet extended the offer of all cour- tesies and assistance to the nearest rel- tives and representatives of the de. | sed, her nephews, Princes David | Kawananakoa and Kuhfo (Cupld) Kal- | anianaole, and tendered a State funeral. | Mr. J. O. Carter, on behalf of Queen Liliuokalanl, also also promptly ex- tended every sympathetic assistance. On Sunday last a special service was held for mourners at the country resi- dence of the deceased, Pualellani, Wai- | kiki, by Re Canon Kitcat and J. L. | e Anglican Church. Nativ and foreigners alike have | been streaming by hundreds to Pualel- | lani to take floral offerings and to| mourn the pure-minded and womanly Queen, and to-day the body is there | lying in state amid the blossoms of fra- grant flowers, the waving of kahilis and the weird wailing of the Hawalian mourners. At midnight to-morrow the body will be removed to Kawaiahao | Church, at the entrance to the city, and will be In state there from 9 a. m. on Friday until midnight of Saturday. The State funeral, under the auspices of the government, will take place on Sunday, July 2, at 2 p. m., with pomp | and ceremonies similar to those attend- ant upon the obsequies of the late Prin- cess Kaifulan! and other royal prede- cessors. The late Queen, having been an earn- est member of the Anglican Episcopal Church, the principal officiant will be the Bishop of Honolulu if his Lordship can arrive from Kohala in time. All the clergy of the city will be invited to attend irrespective of creeds. The lives of the Aliis of Hawali are drawing to a close, and now but one remains. “May God guard and bless her to the end,” Is the prayer of her loyal people, doubly loyal to her shorn of her prerogatives and with their love only as her chief solace in the hours of her affliction. HORSELESS - CARRTAGES I BATTLE 1al Dispatch to Call | WASHINGTON, July 4 — Though | aware of the advantages of horseless | | carriages for the artillery service, the | | Board of Ordnance and Fortifications | of the army has practically decided that | the vehicle has not yet been sufficiently | developed to warrant its adoption in the military service. The board has | * had under consideration a proposition | to construct an automobile for experi- mental purposes, an inventor having announced that he has obtained a light motor for driving the heavy carriage | necessary to accommodate a gun and | ammunition and stand the recoil of (hl’l weapon after discharge. The advan- tages of the horseless riage for ar- tillery service are so evident that if a | satisfactory vehicle could be found it undoubtedly would be experimented | with. There are disadvantages, however, which the board has had to consider, | such as the comparatively short dis- | | tance the electric carriage would go, | the heavy weight of the storage batter- fes and the necessity of frequent re- | could stand the w an ordinary gun carriage can be put in military operations. If good roads were always assured the board would quickly find a suitable | automobile, but in the operations in the Philippines, for instance, it is pointed out that good roads are the ex ception, and, besides, it is often nec sary to go at a sharp pace across flelds in which there are numerous gullies. | Nearly all the nations of Europe are ex- | perimenting with horseless carriages | for the artillery service, but none, ac- cording to reports which have reached here, have met with success as to de- termine it to replace its present car- riages with the new invention. Military experts here believe that 1f horseless carriages are adopted for the American service they will be propelled by steam or ofl. By such means, it is stated, enough fuel could be carried to go a considerable distance and the dis- advantage of electric carriages of hav- charging and the difficulty of s(’('uring‘i a vehicle which, while of light welght, | : vhile of light welght. | ¢ Hongkong, from which point he will | ing to return t o the charging stations would thus be obviated. CARDINAL VAUGHAN IS AN IMPERIALIST JW YORK, July 4—A Sun cable from Leondon says: A declaration of immense importance concerning the fate of the Philippines and all Asia was made to-night by Cardinal Vaughan, archbishop of Westminster, | at the Independence day banquet given by the American Society in London. There 1s good authority for saying that his utterance is an authorized an- nouncement of the policy of the Roman Catholic Church on. the Far Eastern question. When it is sald that he as- tonished and electrified his audience by his eloquent appeal to America and England, in co-operation, to carry civ- ilization into Asia in opposition to Rus- sia it may easily be imagined what a sensation his words created. Nor was his the only imperialistic speech of the evening. It was the key- note of every word spoken and-the spirit of imperialism aroused enthus| asm surpassing anything witnessed at former gatherings of Americans in Lon- don, The banquet was attended by the largest and most representative assem- | W bly of Americans ever held in Europe. LABOR AND MONEY IN THE PHILIPPINES MANILA, July 4—To-morrow the Bennington will take Professor Schur- man, president of the United States Ad- visory Committee for the Philippines, sail to Japan to pay a short visit there before leaving for the United States. Admiral Dewey, Colonel Denby, Pro- fessor Worcester and Professor Schur- man will meet in Washington during the autumn to compile a report of the commission’s labors. The commission recently investigated the question of currency and the Chi- nese problem as it presents itself here. A large majority of business men wish to continue on a silver basis. There are a few, however, who favor a gold basis or the adoption of the Japanese system. The Filipinos are anxious to exclude Chinese labor on° the other hand, many large employers prefer China- men, asserting that they are more effi- cient, although the element of cheap- ness doubtless influences this view. e e—— Rag Time Hayes, the Pianist.

Several others have been on ex- hibition, but none of them céuld equal in size the oversrown specimen which was installed in fts tank yesterday. After sliding into 1ts new home it wriggled and splaslied and darted about for a_quarter of an hour, and then, having satisfled it- self of the extent and boundary of its new and narrow world, it stretched out its ven feet of vertébrae and went philo- ophically to sleep. The moray was brought here in an es- pecially contrived tank, the ship's pumps furnishing a constant supply of fresh sea water. It is said the big eel is known to | the negro fishermen of Bermuda and the | Bahamas as the “devil's terror.” Its mouth, which is somewhat like an aili- gator's in general shape, Is fitted with sharp, sawlike “teeth, slanting backward. During its stay at the Aquarium, which probably will be for the rest of its life, it | will be, as far as is possible, fed on such | fish as it was accustomed to.prey upon be- fore ts capture. | l See | Dozier, Lawton, Ward, Irwin, Ross, Bar- | ney, Levy.
