Honolulu T. H., Nov. g. via San
Francisco, Nov. l6-Robert W. VIII
cox, the independent Royallst candidate,
has been elected Hawaiian delegate to
Congress, by u small majority over
Samuel Parker the Republican candi-
date. His strong vote among the ma
lives IN the outside districts carried
the day against the whites and the in
telligent native voters of the cities
News OF the result Of the election,
which was brought TO Honolulu this
morning by steamers carrying returns
from the other islands, produced much
depression among an whites. as Wilcox
was strongly opposed by Republicans
and Democrats alike His campaign
was an anu-white canvass, with
promises on the part Of some Of his
campaign workers that II he were
elected Queen Lili0ukalani would be re-
placed on the throne The result Of the
vote shows the native bitterness over
annexation 20 be still alive.
The Republicans carried HOnoluluand
the island OF oahu for Hon. Samuel
Parker by 2ls plurality the Democratic
candidate. Prince David Kawananakoa,
receiving only about one-third as many
votes as Parker. Today II Is reported
that he was knitted by eX-Queen Lii.

thrown her interest 10 Wilcox. There
Is much bitterness against her among
the Democrats who hoped that. even
II they did not cleo, their man they
would at least so divide the native vote
that Wilcox would be- behind Parker

bat Congress viii be- asked 10 establish
some limitations on the voting prlvi-
lege. The natives have a property
qualification for voters. II Is argued
that In voting upon a simple color line
many OF the natives have shown them
selves unfit FOR universal suffrage.
The returns which are not quite COM

cox carried eyer3 island but Oahu
here Honolulu Is with It's large white
population and with a majority OF the
more educated natives. Tf-lsland Of
Kauai gave more votes TO Wilcox than
10 Parker and David combined
The most encouraging feature 20 the
whites Of both parties Is In the fact that
the Wilcox majority Is so small. which
shows that very many Of the natives
were divided upon other than race
lines. II an the natives had cast
Wilcox votes his majority on each Of
the islands would have been much larg-
or than Il Is. Probably a third Of the
native population were tlllgned
with the American parties and IL Is
thought that the future viii rapidly in
crease the proportion.
The present prospect ~ that the con-
gresham elect viii be- utterly ignored by
the commercial and other Interests Of
the islands. Il is said that Parker win
20 20 Washington In any event and that
though he will have no official title he
will look after Hawaiian interests there.
