WILL TAKE THIS
FORM AT PRESENT
Commissioners Have Completed the Bill
aud Its Report Will Be Ready
When Congress Assemblies.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The commits
sion appointed by the president to rec
ommend form of government for the
Hawaiian islands as part of the Unit
ed States, met in Senator Cullom's COM
mittee rooms at the capital today, for
the first time since leaving Honolulu,
Senators Cullom and Morgan. and Rep
resentatives Hit and Frear being pres
ent.
The meeting was devoted to discussing
details of the bill, and the report which
the commission will! make to congress-,
which had not been decided upon at the
last meeting. The legislation which will
be recommended by the commission will
be included in bill, which to all intents
and purposes, will be an enabling act.

ries high, with narrow and tortuous

men, and hotel employees, hurrying
through the Railways, kicked open the
doors and notified the people of the great
danger. When they managed to reach
the windows and fire escapes there were
no ladders. Many attempted to jump
from the windows to the streets, but
were warned not to do so by the. crowd
below. Then the iremen gotup ladders
and commenced taking people to the
ground, rescuing many.
In the interior of the hotel and explo-
sion in the theater caused that portion
of the building to cave in. The explo-
sion also extinguished the electric lights
throughout the building. There were
many people in the upper halls and cor
ridor at that time, and firemen and po-
lice were endeavoring to lead them to
the Market and Powel-street windows.
The entire top floor was then blazing
mass.

and very much like the bills providing
for the admission of new states into the
Union, except in the important detail
that it provides for the admission of a
territory and not state. The bill has
been completed but probably will be
amended in detail.
The report has not been completed,
but the commission has decided upon
it's important features. One of these is
a recommendation that the system OF
importing laborers under contract shall
be discontinued. The commissioners
have concluded that as the system is
contrary to the laws applying to this
country as whole, it would not be wise
to continue it, even temporarily In
Hawaii. It is understood that ma
jority at least of the members of the
commission do not accept the theory
that Americans and Europeans cannot
do manual labor in the islands.
The commission Will recommend a
regular territorial form of government,
with governor, delegate in congress,
and Legislature. The legislature will
be elected by the qualified voters of the
island, but there Will be property and
educational qualifications imposed upon
those who vote for members of the upper
house of the legislature. The franchise
will not be extended to the Japanese or
Chinese in the island. but the Portu-
gese who become citizens will not be
excluded. under the restrictions i'm
posed. The commission will present full
details of the value of the property ac-
quired, the income of the tariff taxes
and other important facts bearing upon
the government of the islands. They
estimate that the property secured to
the United States will amount to more
than $40 ,O00, 900.

Escape By a Rope.

The story of the rope is thrilling one.
For eight years Kate, Richardson has
been an employe of the hotel, occupying
a room on the fifth floor, Five years
ago, as precautionary measure in just
such emergency, procured a rope long
enough to reach from her room to the
street. When the alarm was given,
Miss Richardson, with the assistance of
Miss Gussie johnson, a companion, Sc
cured the rope to piece of heavy furni-
ture and threw the free end out of the
window. The two girls were about to
make the descent when three lady guests
rushed into the room and begged to be
saved. The two brave girls gave prece-
dence to the guests, and then Miss john

FIVE LIVES LOST
MANY INJURED
Impossible to Get Complete List
Latest Estimates of the Loss Caused
By the Fire Places the Total at
SI,5oO, 900.

: SAN Francisco. Nov. 22.-At3 rs this
morning the Baldwin hotel caught fire
and was entirely destroyed. There were
800 people, guests and employees, in the
hotel at the time the fire broke out, and
certainly five, probably many more OF
these people, lost their lives.
The fire is said to have started in the
kitchen, located in the basement. It
worked its way through a hue to the
sixth floor and before the first alarm
was sent in the flames had gained great
headway. The first alarm was followed
by others in rapid succession. until five
calls had been sent in, summoning every
piece of aparatur at the command of the
department.
For years the Baldwin has been re.

son took her position on the rope and
went down hand over hand. Miss Rich
ardson was the last to leave, and she had
White, who occupied a room on that
floor, called to here, appeaiingly begging
her not to jump. Miss Richardson
stopped and begged the captain to take
her place on the line. This he refused
to do, and only after dint of much per-
suasion could he induce Miss Richard
son to save herself, promising to follow
in her wake.
Miss Richardson reached the street in
safety and Captain White had launched
himself in the air, when suddenly the
rope broke and he fell to the ground be-
low, distance of nearly 100 feet.
1t is impossible at present to estimate
the death loss but indications are that
it must increase. The police department
is compiling list of guests, and check
ing them off as fast as reported safe. So
far the list is as follows:
Jonathan L. White. capitalist, resid-
ing in the hotel.
AOWAS NAOyClCy SOOAOIoAJ LNAOgo Lay
Gold Mining Company.
John j. Carter, associate Judge OF
California Jockey Club.
Tate Pryor. sheetwriter to j.. J. Car
roll.
]. M. Lighthead. purser of the City OF
Sydney.
A careful estimate of the loss caused
by the Baldwin hotel fire places the
total ats 500, 900, on which at the out
eide there was not over $15O,000 insur-
ance. The insurance, $4,000. carried
on the hotel was ridiculously small
About 5000, 900 of the mortgage covers
the Baldwin hotel property, and the
opinion is entertained that the site
alone is worth at least 100000 over the
mortgage.

has fallen there. Sheepmen have kept
their sheep on the mountain ranges as
long as possible, on account of dryness
and lack of grass outside, S. E. Boett-
cher has two bands at Wilbur, over
5000, and Robert Potwine 5000. One
band belonging to Marshall & Furnish
is lost. Herders hunted for it for three
DAYS, but found no trace of it. Unless
chinook winds blow and melt the snow,
sheepmeu will have difficulty in bring
ing their sheep out without heavy loss.

IN HER FOUNTAIN HOME ALONE.
A Woman Who Leads the Life OF n
Hermit In the AlIeEhnnics.

On barren ridge of the Alleghanies,
in the northerr part of Clinton county,
a party of hunters a few days ago dis
covered cabin nesting among the
rocks on hillside. The spot was ten
miles from a human hahitation, and
the curiosity of the hunters was
aroused as to who the occupant could
be. Going up to the hut, one of the
party hammered at the door. 1t was
speedily opened by woman of about
so years, who demanded their business.
for drink Of water. In reply the wom-
an pointed to a spring which bubbled
up among the rocks. and then closed
and barred the door.
The hunters carried their story to a
farmhouse in, the valley, where they
learned that THE woman leads the life
of hermit, having no companionshtp
but that of a great ST. Bernard dog,
which she has trained to carry mes
sages and bring provisions from the
valley. Nothing is known of her his
tory before her arrival on the noun
tain. The country folk say that she
made her first appearance ten years
ago. During thesummer she construct
ed the hut unaidhd, and none but a
few children have been allowed to en-
ter it. The youthful scouts report that
the IN; s carpeted with the skins OF
bear and deer, which she evidently shot
with her own hand. y repeating rifle
and smaller arms hang on the walls.
No one has any solution to offer to
the question as to what drove this wom-
an to live in the wilds atone. She
shrinl;s from contact with grown peo-
