There is nothing i'll the yarn. He
is one of the authors of the revolu-
ton.
Theresa Cartwright, with her
baby and some food, visited Wilcox
this morning.
is A NOTABLE.
Robt. w. Wilcox has been a
conspicuous figure in Hawaii many
years. AS a mere boy he came to
the capital from Maui as a member
of the Legislature. He was clever
lad and caught the fancy Of Kala-
kaua. At government expense
Wilcox was sent to Italy and given
a military education. He returned
in seven years with bride, mem-
Der of a noble family. She soon
left him.
There had been political changes
during Wilcoxs absence. He was
unable to get decent billet from
his royal patron. Such men as
P. c. Jones, J. B. Atherton and c.
M. Cooke wanted to set the young
man up in business. He cared only
for political position.
In 1880, Wilcox led revolution.
He had couple of hundred men in
red shirts. They took possession
of the palace early one morning
The declared purpose was to
set up Republic. The
foreigners put down the insur-
rection, killing nine of the rebels.
Wilcox was driven from the bung-
allow with dynamite. He was not
punished for this.
Since 1880 Wilcox has dabbled
in public affairs only to the extent
of serving one term in the Legisla-
ture.
In 1898 Wilcox joined the annex
alton movement. He wanted the
San Francisco consulate. Failing
to get it he went into this thing.
| THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The schools have not yet been
opened. There are many who
think they should be, but we con-
versation with one of the Princi-
pals this morning, he remarked
that the teachers were ready and
waiting, but said he until the ex-
element is over it would be OF
littls use to open and start pupils,
as they could not get their mind OH
their lessons" 1t is possible that
by next Monday everything will
be quiet and that the schools will
be running as usual.
