The wound is being treated by the

LAST OF ROYAL FAMILY

QUEEN OF HAWAII.

(Hy Associated press)

Honolulu, Nov. 12.-Former Queen
I.iliuokalani died at her home here
Sunday after short but severe i'll
ness.
With the death of Queen Liliuokalani
has passed the last vestige of royalty
in the Hawaiian islands. The eighth
and last monarch to hold sway over
the entire insular group, she reigned
for only two years, and that brief
flicker of sovereignty was extinguished
more than twenty years ago in rev.
oiution which led to. the annexation
Of the islands to the United States.
Pit, Notwithstanding her effacement
fibm public affairs, Queen Liliuokalani
meyer abandoned her regal pose nor lost
the affection of her former subjects,
and continued to her death a nose in
teresting personality.
She was born September 2, 1888, in
Honolulu Her name was Lydia Ka-
makaeha. In her memoirs, "Hawaii's
History by Hawaii's Queen" she traced
her ancestry back to the foundation of
the Kamehameha dynasty and claimed
relationship to the royal family of the
five sovereigns of that name.
The later years Of her life, Liliuok-
lani remained quietly at home. She
had ceased to reign as sovereign
monarch, but she still reigned as queen
in the hearts of her people, the native
Hawaiians, who venerated her and paid
Eer' court as though she still sat upon
the throne. She was the composed OF
hundreds of Hawaiian songs, some OF
which bscams popular in the United
States.

He has sent 200 laborers to the val

Mr.. Davenport states that unless
the funds for the transportation of

to send them to their homes in So

The president said that he esteemed
it an honor to be present, as it seemed,
above all others, a time for drawing
the energies of the nation together.
"The time" he said, sis more crit

and it is important at this moment
of counsel that we remind ourselves
of how the war came about. This war
is the last decisive issue between the
cid principle of power and the new
principle of freedom"
