Representative Jere- minh Donovan is one of the few mem- bers that answers each ome to the ef- fect that he is opposed to the adop- tien of such an amendant He tells the ladies that write him that they mhonld take their request to Hartford, of suffrage is for each state to settle for itself He points to the fact that in all the states where women vote they do so by virtue of a state law, and that an amendment to the federal constitution is not necessary to gain their object. He tells them that he does not believe that a majority of the | ‘women of Connecticut desire the bal- Jot. in fact he has received more peti- tions from his district against _the proposition than in favor of it SOONER THAN PART THEY DIE TOGETHER.

London, August 3.—Certain anxious heirs in the United States who have been informed by a firm of attorneys that the estate of the great English navigator Sir Francis Drake, is ready for distribution will be disappointed to learn that the most diligent search has failed to reveal the existence of this property. The American embassy in London | has recently received a number of let- ters from people in New York saying that certain persons representing | themselves as the American attorneys for the Drake estate had informed them that their claims to the property of the scourage of the Spanish' main could be substantiated. The attorneys demanded a percentage of the estate, and fncidentally a few dollars in ad- ‘vance to defray the expense of collec- tion. An investigation at Somerset House, ‘where all records are kept, does not reveal the slightest foundation for the claims of the New York attorneys, and if Sir Francis left any estate it was distributed to his heirs several hun- dred years ago. $60,000 REWARD FOR CANTON GOVERNOR’S HEAD.
