Fell Christmas HOW OPEN. T 'GLOBE LILIUOKALANrS VISIT A MYSTERY Representative Hatch of Hawaii Put zled Over It HER MISSION IS DISCUSSED No Olfiicinl Notice of Her Coming Was Sent by His GovernmentSaid to Desire AunciationThe Dele gate From the Island Republic is Waiting for News From Honolulu. Washington. Dec. 11. While no of ficial Information has been received as to the purpose of ex-Queen Lllluokal anl's visit to this country, her arrival at this time occasions much comment in official quarters. She will be met here, it Is understood, by Princess Kal ulanl, who has been sojourning in Italy, and will come here for this meeting. Minister Hatch, of Hawaii, is now In New York, and Mr. Cooper, the Hawaii an minister of foreign affairs. Is en route to San Francisco, to take the steamer for Hawaii on the 16th Inst. This will brine him Into close proxim ity to the ex-queen at San Francisco. In the event of the ex-queen and princess coming to Washington, their visit, It Is believed, could not be regard ed by the authorities here as official, for the United States has formally rec ognized the Republic of Hawaii, and Its diplomatic representatives receive full otlicial credit here. HATCH SURPniSED. New York. Dec. 11. Minister Hatch, when seen today at his house, No. 49 East Sixty-fourth Street, said: "I was surprised to learn of the ex queen's landing In San Francisco by the morning papers, which Is all that I have heard or know in relation to the matter. No Intimation reached me of any Intention on her part to visit the I'nlted States or of any motive that she might have in coming here. As to whether she Is making the trip for po litical purposes or not, I am sure I don't know. I have never heard of any offer to her of $3,000 a year pen sion, such as is mentioned In the San Francisco dispatches. In fact, I have no knowledge that she has been offered anything at all. "If the government had promised her $10,000 on condition that she should come to the United States and secure the annexation of Hawaii I should probably have heard something of it.. "I shall probably have dispatches and letters from Honolulu In the course of a few days, and will then know whether or not Lilloukulunl's mission here is at the instance of the government or whether she has made the trip for pri vate reasons. I am inclined to think, however, that there Is little founda tion for the statements that she is to act In any way for the Hawaiian gov ernment toward obtaining the annexa tion of the islands. I am rather in clined to think that she Is here simply for reasons of her own, and in a purely private capacity." , KX-Ql'EEN LIL RETICENT. ' San Frnnclscrt, Chl Dec. 11. Ex Queen LUlunkalonl is extremely reti cent. To all questions as to her Inten tions she replies: "I have not matured my plans." She would not even say why she had left Honolulu. The Ha waiian consul, however, has received advices from the covernment statin? that on the mornlnsr of her departure j.inoiiKainm caneu on President Dole and Informed hhn that she was going to Boston to see relatives of her hus band, the late John Dominis. Representatives of Hawaii In this country have been instructed to show the ex-queen every courtesy while she is In the United States. AN EYE ON THE VAM30SE. The New York Journal's Croft Will He Closely Watched. Washington. Dec. 11. Vigilance on the part of the authorities of the gov ernment acalnst any violation of in ternational law of United States sta tutes received another illustration to day when Secretary Carlisle ordered the collector of customs at Wilming ton, N. C. to thoroughly Investigate the purposes of the yacht Vamoose (the fast news flyer of the New York Journal) in. her cruise to the Cuban coast. The department has not con sidered It necessary to seize the yacht; but such have been the advices of the department of justice and the conse quent avowed principles of the gov ernment on the subject of filibustering that the treasury department is not willing to permit the slightest devia tion from what it considers a direct course to pursue concerning vessels plying between bur harbors and the Cuban coasts. The peacefulness of the Vatnoose's mission (that of conveying news to and fro for a prominent metropolitan journal) Is not questioned. The only theory the treasury department is act ing upon is that of taking every pre caution against violations of interna tional law and treaty obligations. SPAIN IS SATISFIED. Has no Fault to Find With Presi dent Cleveland's Rhetoric. Washington. Dec. 11. Somi-offlnlal ad vices from Madrid state that government circles as well as the conservative element generally are entirely satisfied with that feature of the president's message which related to Cuba. The first Impression created by the meagre reports cabled to Spain was not satisfactory and produced some Irritation. When the full text of the Cuban chapter appeared In the leading papers of the kingdom there was. It is reported, a com plete revolution of sentiment and the president's courteous and considerate treatment of the subject received general approval. RED CROSS FOR CUBA. An Appeal is Made by the Junta for Volunteers.) Philadelphla.Dec. 11. A special meet ing of the Pennsylvania Red Cross as sociation was held this afternoon at which Dr. John Ouiteras, representing the Cuban Junta, and E. Frank Carson, of this city, sought to enlist the ser vices of the Red Cross society in behalf of the 'sick and wounded soldiers of the opposing armies In Cuba. Dr. J. Wilk O'Neil, secretary of tha meeting, suggested that the appeal for aid was out of place, as the. Pennsyl vania association did not have a right to extend operations beyond the borders of the state, and that any help desired for Cuba would come under the direc tion of the International society. However all the members present as sured Dr. Ouiteras and Mr. Carson of their willingness to co-operate In secur ing as prompt action as possible, and as a result of the meetlns some more definite action will no doubt be taken shortly. Some one asked If Spain might not object to the Red Cross so ciety sending representative! to her rebellious province. Dr. O'Neill re plied: "Spain has signed the Geneva treaty, agreeing with the rest of the civilized world to welcome the Red Cross so ciety In its mission of mercy wherever required, and every nation of the world has a right to pour a perfect deluge of Red Cross assistance into the island. Spain would not dare to object." - TO UNITE ON HIGH SEAS, Two Regiments or American Volun teers win Leave lonuDn. Philadelphia, Dec. 11.

PW TARIFF ACT A MODERATE MEASURE Republicans Will Frame a Bill to Cover Existing Deficit.

NEW TARIFF BILL. "A moderate measure" is the charac terization which leading Republicans of the house elve to the new tariff bill which It Is proposed to frame this winter in anticipation of an extra ses sion of congress. It is explained that what Is desired. Is a bill which will provide a sulllclent revenue to cover the deficit now existing, furnishing proper protection to home Industries. It Is pointed out that conditions have con siderably changed since what Is known as the McKinley bill became a law and that rates of duty that were justified then are unnecessary at present. It Is stated, for example, that the tin plato Industry, which was enormously stimu lated by the duty of two cents a pound Imposed In the McKinley law. Is now so well established that a return to the former rate Is unnecessary. The sugar schedule promises to cause more em barrassment than any other In the bill. Some of the Republican members of the committee on ways and means, snys that three states which produce sugar Louisiana, Texas and Nebraska gave their vote last month to Mr. Bry an, and this in connection with the position which the members of the con gress lrom Louisiana and Texas have always taken with respect to the tur irl',' vill be.

The agricultural schedule will prob ably be fixed at the former rate of du ty, twhile the woolen schedule. It Is said, will receive sulllclent protection to satisfy the manufacturers. The cotton and steel and iron schedules are not likely to be changed. TJhe present ad vulorem' system will be changed to a system of specific duties. The bill, It Is said, will contain a provision that goods In bonds will, when taken out, pay the rate duty in force and not the lower rate which they were originally brought to th's country. An arrangement will be made whereby dates will be assigned to cer tain Interests to be heard so that there may be some systematic method of giving the hearing without embarrass ment. The date upon which the hear ings will begin will be made public when the full committee meets. CARL SCHURZ ELECTED. He Has Been Chosen President of the Civil Service Reform League.

A tremendous burst of applause greeted Hale when the announcement was made at 8 o'clock that he had broken the six day record, and pande monium relrned for a few minutes. There were fully 5,000 people In the? garden at the time and the crowd kept pouring In until by 10 o'clock there were between 9.000 and 10,000 present.
