Honolulu. It. H., Nov. 1t.---Queen
Liliuokalani Of Hawaii. whose death
had been expected for several days,
passed away this morning.
The queen had been in bad health
for many months. A week ago she
began to fail rapidly and last Thurs
day physicians announced that the end
was near. Preparations have been
mado for the body to lie in state, with
territorial guard of honor.
Social events planned for the
United States congressional party
visiting here have been called off
Last of Royalty Gone.
With the death of Queen Llliuoka-
lani has passed the last vestige of
royalty in the Hawaiian islands. The
eighth and last monarch to hold sway
oyer the entire insular group, she
reigned for only two years and thar
brief flicker of sovereignty was ex-
tingushed more than twenty years
ago in a revolution which led to tho
annexation of the islands to the
United States But, notwithstanding
her effacement from public affairs,
Queen Liliuokalani never abandoned
her regal pose nor lost the affection
of her former subjects, and continued
to her death almost Interesting per-
sonality.
She was born September 2. 1898, in
Honolulu. Her name was Lydia
Kamakacha. In her memoirs, "Ha-
wallis History by Hawaii's Queen"
she traced her ancestry back to the
foundation of the Kamehamcha dy-
nasty and claimed relationship to the
royal family of the five sovereigns Of
that name.
In accordance with a custom COM
mon in Hawaii in those days, Liliuo-
kalani was given away in her infancy
By her father to another chief. by
whom she was adopted in exchange
for one Of his children. this custom
being observed to cement Ties between
the different clans and chiefs. The
future queens new mother was Konia
granddaughter of Kamehameha I. Her
adopted father was Paki, high chief,
They had daughter of their own,
Bernice Pauahi, who later became
Mrs. Charles Il. Bishop. Liliuokalani' s
own parents had nine other children,
most of whom, like herself. were
adopted into other families. One OF
them was Kalakaua. afterwards king
and Liliuokalani's predecessor to the
throne.
Educated Royally.
The young princess received her
education in the old royal school. all
the pupils of which were children OF
the royal family or of the high chiefs.
1t was while attending this school
that Liliuokalani first met the boy
who later became her husband. John
10. Domlnis, son of an American sea
captain. She was married to him
September 16, 1862. and she and her
husband moved to washington place
which Captain Dominis. her father
in-law, had built as a private resi-
dence. Long after, when she was
driven from the throne of Hawaii,
she retired again to this place. and
II was her home during the remainder
OF her life. Dominis, the future
Queens husband, was appointed on
the staff of Prince Lot. and when
the latter ascended the throne as
Kamehameha V. in November, 1853,
was named as the kings private secre-
tary and confidential adviser. DOminis
was later made governor Of Oahu.
which position he held until his
death In 1891.
Iaiiuokalanh ascended the throne Of
Hawaii January 20, 1891. immediate
ly following the receipt OF news from
San Francisco that her brother. King
Kalakaua. had died there in the
Palace hotel nine days previously.
Kalakaua in November Of the pre-
ceding year had taken trip to Cali
