HER INTEREST IN THE RESTORATION OF THE MONARCHY NOT WHOLLY PERSONAL.

New York, March 13.--The Herald publishes an interview with ex-Queen Liliuokalani granted to its correspondent at Honolulu. The ex-queen wished it distinctly denied that her interest in the restoration of the monarchy was wholly personal. "Of course," she continued, "we have naturally a deep personal interest at stake, but you may say that we are deeply sorry on account of our patient native people; many of whom have lost employment by the overthrow. Our subjects are probably more patient than any other people in the world and for that matter we have counselled them to be peaceful and await results."

She said she loved the American people and America but believed there was as much liberty in Hawaii under monarchy as in the United States.

"My people prospered under the monarchy and tramps were unknown," said she. "The poor were not numerous in our country and many white men made fortunes under the old conditions."

By the way, there are some serious problems in your government as in all civilized countries today. I read that there are millions of idle and desperate hungry men hunting for employment in other civilized countries. We are very sorry to see so many of them coming to these islands and wish to warn them that there is nothing here for them to do.
