HAWAIIAN ROYALIsT HERE.
Robert w. wilcox Wants to BE Gov
ernor of Hawaii.

Robert W. Wilcox. the Hawaiian revolu-
ZIONIST and In days of the Hawaiian throne
chief adviser to Queen Liliuokalani. is a
was the instigator and leader Of the revoiu-
tionary forces during the days Of the pro-
visional government of Hawaii. After tho
of President. Dole, Wilcox with all others
was given the privileges of the republic
The. queen and the Hawaiian people were
restless ;sn and soon second reyolution broke
was defeated and after his arrest a trial
by q military commission on the charge of
'inciting a revolution" followed. Wilcox
was found guilty and sentenced to death.
Afterward this was committed to thirty
five years Imprisonment at hard labor and
a fine Of $4,000. Four years ago he was
pardoned. Yet withal he is Royalist and
friend of the ex-queen today. He Is mar
rted to Princess Kaohelelani, who with Mrs
F. s: Pratt. Of Honolulu, constitute the al
Kamehameha III.
Mr.. Wilcox is now en- route to Washing
ton where. with Edgar Caypless. an at
islation, favorable to the natives Of the
island.
In an interview on his mission. last night,
and with Mr. caypless sans any sent t' to WasSing,
ton In the interests of my people. II a
territorial form OF government is given
governor. Since you ask me. yes they want
me for>governor and while East will urge
my own appointment.
Another thing is. we want the crown
lands divided among the rightfu1 heirs my
wife and Mrs. F. s. Pratt. instead Of be-
ing made. government lands. They were
left by King Kamehameha III to support
the crown and as. there is no crown the
lands should be divided among the heirs,
the same as any other estate.
Again. we want laws that will protect
Hawaiians and give them franchise of
equal weight to the other residents Of the
islands As It is now We have no voice in
political matters.
''Hawaiians accept annexation because
they have to. The war with Spain AFFORD
ed an excuse to rush annexation through
and the natives were not consulted in the
matter We would rather see Queen Lii
iuokalani on the throne, but accept the
inevitable because We are powerless
I'VE will also urge that the United States
do something for the ex-queen. She. as a
member of the royal family, is proud and
will not ask a pension. We will urge that
she be given a lump sum equal to the in
come of the crown lands and will probably
recommend s290.000 1t is wrong to leave
her without compensation as you are aware

IS DELAYED FOR ONE WEEK.


On bIEC6t INT
The II special committee, consisting Of
Chairman James, Muldoon. Rude. Gill and
McArdle, appointed by the city council to
consider the petition from a number Of
the residents OF Columbia asking the cotn-
ell to abrogate the franchise OF the Seattle
& Rainier Beach railway, met last night
in the city hall After hearing the argu-
ments of both sides the committee decided
to delay action on the petition for week,
so as to give the contestants chance to
settle the hiAttef among themselves.
The meeting at times was quite animated.
The residents of Columbia were repre-
scented by q committee composed of Everett
Smith, H. H. Hastings, d. r. Pierson and
r. d. Nichols. They alleged that they
had borne with the bad condition Of the
railroad for many years. In the hope OF
matters improving, but that at length
their patience was exhausted. The SER
vice, they SAID, was poor, insufficient and.
owing TO tho crowded condition of the
traffic, was dangerous. They wanted a
new time schedule with cars running more
frequently than at present.
The street car company was represented
by r. H. Osgood, the manager, and w. A.
Peters. The former admitted the service
was not what It should be in many re-
spects, but declared 1t was impossible to
improve the condition of affairs until he
was able to get more power. He had tried.
he said, to get the power, but could not
do 30 until the Snoqualmie electric plant
was in operation.

THREE ALLEGED sMUGGLERs.
Federal Grand Jury Indicts J. L
walker, Ed O'Neil and An Sing.

walker, Ed OWEN and An Sing.
Two cases Of smuggling were investi-
gated by the United States grand jury
yesterday. with the result that the alleged
violators Of the customs laws were indiot-
ed, and are now awaiting trial on the
charges filed against them. James L.
Walker and Edward ONeiI, Whatcom
county ranchers, and Chinese bearing the
title Of All Sing, are the alleged culpritA
The indictment against Walker and
O'Neil charges that they smuggied 625
pounds Of wool into this country from Brit
ish Columbia, driving across the bound
airy with wagon load of the article pur-
chased from sheep rasers across the line.
There is a heavy duty on wool, and the
arrest of Walker and O'Neil was the result
of an investigation into the remarkable
fact that farmers near the line were SELL
ing in the markets about the Sound more
wool than 1t was supposed their fiocks
could produce.
All Sing will have to answer to the court
for the smuggling Of ten pounds of prepar-
ed opium, which was found in his possess
sion by the customs officers in this city.
All Sings Is the first case of opium SNUG
Cling brought before the grand jury for
many months. Before the duty on opium
was reduced, the great profit In the busi-
ness made opium smuggling one of the
most common offenses to come before the
Federal court.
