Following is General Skaters letter:
Headquarters Department Of Califor-

Dear Sir:
The Adjutant General OF the Army
has appointed me, as the representa-
tive of the War Department, 10 receive
contributions from the people OF the
Pacific Coast for the benefit OF the
widow and children of the late Major
General Henry W. Lawton. killed in
action before San Mateo, Philippine
Islands. December 90. 1899. and 1 re-
spectfully solicit your assistance IN
making the donation from the coast
a generous one.
The history of General Lawton's
splendid military career is too well
known to require recounung here. His
life has been one of devotion to the
military service. and he fell in battle
while defending his country's flag.
His widow and four children will be
left i'm straitened circumstances I'M
less the mortgage covering his orange
grove at Redlands. California, be
liquidated.
am confident that the patriotic and
grateful people of the Pacific Coast will
respond generously to this most worthy
object, and that enough money will be
raised. not only to pay the mortgage,
but leave a substantial margin in ad-
dition for the use OF the family.
Remittances should be sent to the
undersigned at Army Headquarters,
San Francisco. which will be acknowl-
edged by letter and through the col
umns of the newspapers. The Nevada
Bank of San Francisco has been des-
ignated as the depository for the fund.
Very respectfully.

CHAMP CLARK ON HAWAII.
He Outlines Democratic Policy To-
ward the Cullom Bill.


Congressman Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, publishes the following in press
correspondence:
A government is to be provided for
the Hawaiian Islands. Porto Rico,
Guam and the Philippines, provided
we conclude to retain these last named.
The bill in the last Congress creating
government for Hawaii maximlzed
the almighty dollar and minimized the
man. Voting and ofTiceholding were
based not on moral worth. education or
brains. but on wealth. The fundamen-
tai and paramount question was not is
he honest, not is he capable, not is he
faithful to the constitution. the old
Jeffersonian tests, but: What is his
wealth? What is the size OF his bank
account? How large is his income?"
or course Democrats will never let
that bill pass so long as they can pre-
vent IL, for we have been fighting for
more than a century to get rid OF the
property qualification on suffrage, and
it is only within the last few years
that we accomplished it. Surely we
will not go back to il without a strug-
gle.
When that bill comes up. / intend
to offer as an amendment to Il my bill
TO re-enfranchise the people of the Dis
trict of Columbia and TO restore TO
them the right of local self govern
ment. and then. II am not unceremo-
