amid the ruins of Pompeii. The box was
marble or alabaster, about inches
square and closely sealed. When opened,
it was found to be full of pomatum or

heartily in favor of it. but then we are
not begging to be taken in. The islands
can well take care of themselves If neces-
sarv.
The action of the present administra-
ton has proved quite pulling and some
what discouraging. We hardly know
what President Cleveland intends doing,
and in consequence do not know how TO
act. At one moment it seems as If annex
atlon was only matter of few days, and
then something will be done which Will
thoroughly dishearten US.
"BOunt has proved too much for us.
We cannot make him out, and whether he
be friendly to us or to the Queen is more
than any man can say. All that is known
IS that he is thoroughly Disguised with
Honolulu. and wants TO get nome as soon
IS possible. He expected to get away on
the steamer upon which l came, and
seemed very much chagrined because he
couldn't come.
Before leaving home | received
lengthy letter from Thurston, who is at
present in Washington. 1t was filed with
more encouraging news than l anticipated
receiving, and leads me to believe that
things do not look as blue for US as many
would have it appear.
"ThurSton assured me that he knew
positively that Bount's report to the
President contained no recommendation
of any sort. but was simply plain state
ment of the condition of affairs in the
Islands.
HE also said that he felt quite certain
that nothing would be done until after
Congress convened, and that it was the
intention of the President to be governed
by the national Legislature.
If this be true it is glorious news for
US, as 1t is well known that a majority OF
Senators and Congressman favor annexa-
ton.
Our annexation clubs, which number
about 10000 members, have been doing
some missionary work among United
States legislators. Every man on the
island who could in any way reach a Con-
gresham wrote TO him, fully explaining
our wants and soliciting his support l
tell you some of the replies which we re-
ceivcd made US feel mighty good, and these
came from the first men in the land tnO."
The new Consul is the second son Of W
c. Wilder, who was one of the Hawaiian
Annexation Commissioners. The father
of W. c. Wilder was Samuel G. Wilder,
the steamship man, who was an early
settler at the Islands. Consul Wilder was
born in Chicago in 1863 He went with
his parents TO Honolulu early. When
about 10 he was sent East to school ana
college. He was graduated at Miami Oni-
versity. at Oxford, Ohio, and then took a
course al the Northwestern University,
Evanston, III. For Several years past he
has been assisting his father in business.
He expects to relieve Consul Pratt on
