Arrives in San Francisco and

SAN FRANCISCO. December 3
Robert W. Wilcox. Delegate-elect 10
Congress from Hawaii. arrived on the
tlio Janeiro yesterday and is register
ed at the Occidental. Wilcox may
have some trouble taking his seat IN
the National House of Representa-
tives. as a bitter fight is to be waged
on the legality of his election. The
contest will be on purely technical
grounds. II is claimed that the Ter
ritorial act does not provide for n
election. and until such provision is
made oy the Hawaiian Legislature no
Delegate can be chosen. The act says
that there shall be a Delegate chosen
by the people according to law, but
as this law has not yet been framed
it is claimed that. from technical
standpoint at least, Wilcox's election
was Illegal
The Republican Central Committee
has declined to take the matter up Of
ficially, but a number of prominent
Hawaiian citizens have interested
themselves in the matter. and it is m
derstood George d. Gear. who arrived
here yesterday. has been delegated

twofold object.
L. A. Thurston. who represented the
islands in Washington when the ques-
ton of annexation was first brought
up. and who was a passenger on the

To cause men 10 distrust the govern.
neut Of Hawaii was displayed in
Judge WilcoI's court yesterday when
High Sheriff Brown appeared in court
10 plead for suspension OF judgment
against J. T. Mallet. the contractor
AT the Young Building. instead OF ap-
pearing as prosecutor of the case as
was his sworn duty. The arbitrary
action Of the contractors Of the Young
building and their utter disregard OF
t--e rights and convenience Of others
has been the subject OF much com
ment not only By every newspaper
Of the city but by men OF the street.
No regard has been paid to injury
that might be caused by their reckless
blasting in excava..ng for the cellar
Adjoining houses might be endanger-
ed. human life might be placed n
jeopardy. but II was all the same TO
these people. Blasts were fired at
any and all hours without any warn
ing being given on the streets adjoin-
ing the excavation. The writer was
standing on Ing street a short time
O'Clock in the afternoon without any
warning being given and one large
piece of rock was hurled into the
street striking Just in front Of a hack
passing by. Small stones ratified on
the awning Of the buildings on the
west SIDE OF the street with great
force.
In draining the excavation adjoin-
ing property owners were put to
every sort of inconvenience. d. G.
Csmarinos. the fruit man, had access
TO his place almost cut on for a num-
Der of days. He complained to the
High Sheriff who told him to go to

Camarinos was shuffied about be

Who had the pull and why did not the
high Sheriff perform his duty in COM
polling these contractors to provide
suitable means to carry the water off ?
One blast two weeks ago resulted in
throwing two women out Of carriage
and their escape without serious in
.ury was almost a miracle. Public
indignation against the man who
showed such utter disregard of the
pubic and OF human life was at 4
high pitch and IL was felt when the
arrest was made that at last the
contractor would be made to feel the
force OF the law and compelled to re-
spect the rights of the people But

Sheriff appearing to plead for mercy

be? Is il any wonder that people feel
that the Sherif's Office is bed of

THE REPUBLICAN DANGER.

{ 1t would probably be uniust to the
President and his astute advisers to
assume that they did not see the very
remarkable parallel between the pres
ent position of the Republican party in
its relation to the national treasury and
its position decade ago. But for the
benefit of those members of Congress
who know of neither past nor here
after in politics it may be worth while
to recount a little history.
When the Fifty first Congress met on
Dec. ?, 1880, the Republican party was
in control of all branches of the gov
eminent. There was large surplus
and Congress undertook TO slash it at
both ends. Mr.. Mckinley then chair
man of the ways and means committee
of the House, reported a tariff bill ito
reduce the revenues While the reve-
aues We're reduced the pension expendi-
lures We're doubled, and instead of re-
ceiving. vast income from sugar, as
before, the government began to pay
out money to, the planters in bounties.
These and 0tlleis methods We're so sue
cessful that the surplus was wiped out
and deficit took its place. Thereupon
the people rose UP and smote the Re
publican Parry, which lost the House,
the Senate strd the Presidency.
No doubt President Mckinley re-
members these things. and Is anxious
not to see them repeated. Again there
is a surplus, and again it is proposed TO
attack it at both ends-by reducing rev.
enues and by Increasing expenditures.
The administration tries to hold the
reins on it's congressional wild horse
but it ais doubtful whether it can sue,
eeed. Secretary Gage recommends q
reduction of $30,000000 in the war
taxes As he estimates the surplus fol
the fiscal year 1902 at only S260O0,-
900. even under the present rate of tax
alton, it is obvious that this is all the
reduction the treasury can safely
stand. But now it is proposed in Con
gress to cut off $70O00,000 or $4,000,
700 year from the revenues, principal
~ for the benefit of the brewers ant
at the same time to increase eXpendi

| All this means a humping deficit afte

man who prides himself upon having
reduced betting to a mathematical
formula.
'The axiom is a good deal deeper
than most people suppose. Taken liter
ally, in games of pure chance, it is
false; applied TO human nature it is
true. Suppose, for example, that two
men pitch pennies: the chances for
heads and tails are perfectly even, and
it can make no difference which of the
players does the guessing. Where the
guesserI appears to have greatly the
worst of it is in such a game as faro
or roulette. The effort to forecast each
turn is likely to unsettle his nerves; the
guesser becomes irritated and democrat
lied, makes reckless bets. presses bad
luck and winds up broke. In fact, the
chief advantage of a system for gam
bling is that it saves nerve force. The
bets are placed according TO rule, and
the layer and the game are on the same
cold, mechanical basis. In playing the
races the odds are seemingly against
the guessers, for the reason that they
are influenced by all sorts of hints,
tips and premonitions. mostly wrong.
1t isn't really case of guessing, but
a case of misplaced confidence.
Luck is something that doesn't exist
except in real life. The late Prof. Proc
tor once delivered a lecture in Phila
delphia on the Mathematics of Chance
and proved conclusiyely that there was
no such thing as luck. Afterward he
took dice box and attempted to dem
onstrate the fact to some skeptical
sports, and went broke in eight min
utes by the watch. There is absolutely
no reason vwhy people should have
streaks of good or bad luck. can dem
onstrate to you on paper that the thing
IS impossible, and you can demon
strate to me by ocular evidence that it
happens every day. So there you are.
cts a funny fact, by the way, that
the two principal systems at Monte
| Carlo are based on Numerically oppo-
site theories of luck. One is called the
maturity of chance To illustrate, sup
| pose red turns up three times in sue
| cessien: according TO the system, the
chance of it appearing again is greatly
diminished and grows less with each
repetition. Consequently the player
bets on black. The other is the system
of runs. Its votaries bold that color
which has once repeated is apt to keep
on, at least five or six times in success
sion. Each brand of cranks proves its
cause by the daily record kept year in
