"Owing to the controversy that has
ensued over a successor to the title
of the Daughter of the Confederacy,
Mrs. Jefferson Davis has determined,
it is said, not to have that inscription
placed on the gravestone of her daugh-
ter, Miss Winnie Davis, who died on
September Is, at Narragansett Pier,
and who now rests beside her father,
the former president of the Confeder-
acy, in Hollywood, Richmond, Va. 1t
was the original intention of Mrs. Davis
to have the words Daughter of the
Confederacy' inscribed on her daugh-
ter's gravestone. She has been greatly
distressed, however, by the agitation
that has ensued in the south, which
she regards as unseemly."
George Saxon, brother of Mrs.
Mckinley, was murdered at the door
step of Mrs. Eva B. Althouse, widow,
in Canton, Ohio, last Friday afternoon
about dusk. Saxon left his home about
6 o'clock, and was not again seen alive
by any of his acquaintances. Some
people who were passing the Althouse
residence in a street Car saw flashes
and heard three reports from revol-
yer. A man fell on the doorstep and
a woman, or person dressed in
woman's clothes, hurried away. When
the witnesses arrived on the scene
they found that the man was George
Saxon. He had been fatally wounded
and died before he could speak. Sub
sequently, Mrs. Anna Z. George, re-
Gently divorced married woman with
whom Saxon had been scandalously
involved, was arrested on the charge
of having committed the murder. She
refused to talk. 1t is said that she
had previously threatened to kill
Saxon. Mrs. Althouse was not at
home at the time of the killing.
President and Mrs. Mckinley left for
Canton on Saturday to attend Saxon's
funeral.
- Brigadier General Bacon, with a
detachment of so men Of the Third
United States infantry, had an ex-
citing brush with a band of Pillager
Indians, belonging to the Chippewa
tribe, on Bear Island, in Leech Lake,
northern Minnesota, last Wednesday.
An Indian named Bug-ah-mah ge-shig
had been arrested by deputies as a
witness in an alleged liquor selling
case, and the bucks of the tribe en-
gagged in an uprising. General Bacon
went forward with detachment to
overawe the Indians. The Indians
fired on Bacon from ambush and a
lively fight ensued, with the result
that the Indians were finally scattered.
Major Wilkinson, sergeant and
two privates were killed, and several
privates were wounded. How many
Indians were killed is not positively
known; but the number is not thought
to have been less than a dozen. For
time excitement ran high, as it was
believed that there would be an up
rising of all the Minnesota Indians, in
Guiding several thousand bucks. The
Indians claim that they are being i'm
posed by upon INSCRIPTIONS deputies.
The department at Washington thinks
the trouble has been settled. Bug-ah-
mah-ge-shig is reported TO have been
killed.
- There has been great change in
German public opinion on the subject
Of the retention Of the Philippine
islands by the United States. The
feeling toward America, generally, is
much more favorable than it was a
couple of months ago, says Berlin
dispatch of October s. 1t is significant
that this week two papers of such
standing as the Kolnische Zeitung and
Vossiche Zeitung haye published long
letters from German merchants settled
in the Philippine islands, in which
American annexation is strongly advo-
Gated. Another significant fact this
week was that delegation represent
ing German and German-Swiss firms
in the Philippine islands called at the
United States embassy to express hopes
that America would not relnquish the
islands and above all not to return
them to Spain, which, the delegation
claimed, would mean recurrence Of
the revolution and the perpetuation of
commercial troubles. Privy Councillor
Schwartzenstein, formerly of the Ger
man embassy at Washington, declares
that Germany does not dream of put
ting obstacles in Americas way.
