United States as a territory, with all
the government machinery Of an en-
bryotic State, according to plans reach
ed by the commission, which returned
to San Francisco yesterday from its
visit to the islands. In dispatch box,
which they bought while there. ano
which is carefully guarded, lies the
draft of bill for the government OF the
territory. 1t is proposed that citizens
vote freely, save for members of the
upper house of the Legislature and Sen
ate. But few changes are proposed in
the land laws. The system of courts
will be modified radically. Pearl har-
Dor will be made nsvigabls and its IA
cilities placed at the disposal of all ma.
tions. Gables to the mainland and be-
tween various islands are to be laid.
The memorial asserts that it is for
the best interests of the island that the
first Governor of Hawaii should be one
who is not bound by any tie, political
or otherwise, to any party or class OF
residents Of Hawaii.

DAUGHTER OF THE CoNFFnpI

luton, offered by Mayor n. Y. Ran.
dolpb, in which is voiced the ONLY sen.
timent that has thus far been baar5
there in regard to the appointing o.
successor to Miss Winnie Davis
The resolution read:
"Lee Camp learns with rso,.,
through the daily press that an etio >.
is being made to perpetuate the u,la
of the Daughter Of the Coniederscy'
In our judgment at the death OF Win
ME Davis this title ceased to exist W.
had but one President Of the Con-.5
eracy, and he but one daughter horn
in the White House. We believe Thor
this is not an Office that should be f'i
ed again, and we trust that this marrer
shall be carefully considered bv al -
the Confederate camps 10 the Norih
and South, and that We shall give oD-
emphatic disapproval OF the prono.i.
ton to perpetuate the office. We do
not intend to reflect on the name of ary
southern woman, whether she be ,94
daughter OF general or not. We one

claims to have had the title Daughter
of the Confederscy" conferred uronher
by southern friends since the death Of
Winnie Davis. The General was asked
if the title c'uld be thus transferred
and he replied with great earne-tle...
"Emphatically no. Miss Winnie Wa. the
only daughter of President DAVIS born
10 the Confederate White House dur
ing the life of the Confederacy. :
Jefferson Davis was the only President
of the Confederate government. 10
daughter of any other oflcioi could
truly represent the Confederacy. For
that reason it would not be appropriate
to call even the daughter Of General
Robert E. Lee the Daughter of the
Confederacy.' To designate any one
else as Daughter OF the Contrderacy
would not only be inappropriate and
meaningless, but would deprive the
title of all its value. 10 the very ma
ture of the case no one except Miss
Winnie Davis is entitled to be called
the Daughter of the Coniedelacy

day evening smoke was discovered is
suing from the residence of Mrs. Martin
Cahill, in Fredericksburg. Neighbors
who went to the house, found the door;
locked and forced an entrance. Mrs
Cahill was found lying on the floor
enveloped in flames. The fire was
quickly extinguished, but she was al
ready dead. Coroner Doggett was
summoned, and an examination re
vealed the fact that Mrs. Cahill had
committed suicide, as pistol was found
in the charred clothing, and q bullet
hole was found in the woman's breast
1t is supposed that the pistol set the
clothing on fire. Mrs. Cahill had been
alone the entire day, her only daughter
Miss Lizzie, being absent. She was i'm
mediately sent for, and broke down
when the sad news was made known
to her. The deceased was the widow

fact that all the natives and nearly
every body else in Hawaii, except a
few Northern carpet baggers, are
opposed to the U. S. government, and
in favor of the restoration OF that of the
