She passed away at 2 o’clock on the morning of the 6th inst. Her father and a'number of 'friends were by-her' bedside when death occurred. Inflammatory rheumatism contracted some weeks ago while the princess'gwas on a visit to the island of Hawaii caused her death. Princess Kaiulani was the daughter of Princess Miriam Kekauluohi Like- like and Governor A. S. Cleghorn. She was born Oct. 16, 1875. On March 9, '1891, Liliuokalani proclaimed Kaiulani heir apparent to the throne of Hawaii, and the United States warship Mohican, then in port, fired 21 guns in honor thereof. The funeral of the dead prin- cess took place on Sunday, March 12, KAIUL A.NI from Kauwaheo, the old native church. PRINCESS It was an immense affair, following closely the order of that of Kalakaua in 1891 and was on a similar scale. There was a grand marshal, police, troops, a band, consular corps and divi- sions in .the procession from various elements of the community. When President Dole was informed of the death, he called his cabinet together in order that a proper course be suggest- ed with regard to the funeral ceremo— ny. It was ordered that the flag be put at half mast on the government build- ing on the day of the funeral. The con— suls were notified of this action by the government. : CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

BALTIMORE, March 18.—The' Johns BEER TAX opposso. Senator Krurn’s Bill Would Hurt the Business of New York Brewers. ALBANY, March 17.——Gallus Tho- mann, secretary of the State Brewers and Maltsters,’ association, at the head of a delegation of brewers from various parts of the state, appeared yesterday before the senate taxation and re- trenchment committee in opposition to Senator Krum’s bill placing a tax of 1 per cent on the gross receiptsof all brewing concerns. Mr. Thomann delivered the argument gainst the measure. He declared that the brewers were suffering from over- taxation now and that any further tax- ation would virtually drive them out of business. It was a mistaken ‘idea, he said, that all brewers and brewing con— cerns were. great money makers, for statistics showed that 25 per cent of the brewing concerns went into [the hands of receivers yearly. The brewing con- cerns could not be considered on the same plane with other manufacturers, because they alone paid a tax, and an exceedingly heavy one, to the federal government. 1' The price of a barrel of beer now was 87,8 ,2 of which under-the internal rev- enue laws was paid to the federal gov- ernment. Seven dollars was the gross receipt on a. barrel of beer, and he pointed out that if this bill became a law the brewer would be compelled to pay a state tax on a government tax, for $2 of the gross price on a barrel of beer went to the government. He believed that the passage of the bill would seriously militate against the breweis of this state to the advantage of the brewers of adjacent states. If the bill became a law, it would mean one of two things, either the brewers would have to make a poorer quality of beer or the eXpenses of their establish- ments would have to be curtailed, and probably both.

LONDON, March 6.—In the introduc- tion to his new history of British India, published today, Sir William Wilson Hunter, former member of the Indian legislative council and former president of the Indian educational commission, referring to the advent of the United States as a colonizing power, says: “America starts upon her career of Asiatic rule with an amplitude of re- sources and a sense of moral responsi- bility which no previous state of chris- tendom brought to the work.- In her splendid and difficult task she will be trammeled by no Portuguese inquisition of the sixteenth century, nor by the slave colonization of Holland in the seventeenth, nor by the cynical rule for gain of the rulers which for a time darkened the BritiSh acquisition of In» dia in the eighteenth. "The United States in the government of their dependencies will represent the political conscience of the nineteenth century. I, hail their advent as a new power for good, not alone for the island races coming under their care, but also in that great settlement of European spheres of influence in Asia, which. if _ we could see aright, forms the world problem of our day.” 6111132 5.1111 Ho‘siettefl s Stomach Bitters is 2111 appetite- Inzlker. and helps- the stomach do its work It is the great. blood cleanser, Ionic.
