vases of the Rameses period in a very
good state of preservation. There is
also an inscription taken from royal
tomb belonging to a king Of the first

waited were found model tools, axes.

and one democrat. With the fndepens
dents in control a lively session is ex4
pected and they are against the ruling
regime and Will give Governor Dole plen-
ty OF opportunities for vetoes,
It IS likely, as a result Of the election
that congress will be asked to establish
some limitations on the voting privill
eyes. The natives have won upon a race
division and now many of the whites
want property qualification for voters.
1t is argued that i'm voting upon simple
color line many of the natives have
shown themselves unfit for universal
suffrage.
The returns which are not quite COM
plete show Wilcox sixty-nine votes
ahead. The precincts to be heard from
are expected to slightly increase this
plurality. Wilcox carried every island
but Oahu, where Honolulu Is, with it's
large white population and with ma
jority Of the more educated natives. The
island of Kauai gave more votes to viii
cox than to Parker and David combined.
The most encouraging feature to the
whites OF both parties is in the fact that
Wilcox's majority Is SO small, which
show that If most of the natives had
cast Wilcox votes his majority on each
of the islands would have been muoh
larger than 1t Is. Probably third OF
the native population is aligned with the
American parties and it is thought that
the future will rapidly increase the pros
| portion.
| The present prospect is that the con.
gressman-elect will be utterly ignored by
the commercial and other interests Of the
islands. 1t is said that Parker will go to
Washington this winter Also AL
though he will have no official titlp he
will look after Hawaiian interests there.

HOnolulu, Nov. 9, via San Francisco,
Nov. 16.-Robert w. Wilcox, the inde-
pendent royalist candidate, has been
elected Hawaiian delegate to congress,
by small majority over Samuel Park
er, the republican candidate. His strong
vote among the natives in the outside
districts carried the day against the
whites and the intelligent 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 all whites, as Wilcox
was strongly opposed by republicans and
democrats. His campaign was an anti
white canvass, with promises on the part
Of some Of his campaign workers that if
he were elected Queen Iiliuokalani
would be replaced on the throne. The
result Of the vote shows the native bit
terness over annexation to be still alive.
The republicans carried Honolulu and
the island for Hon. Samuel Parker by
219 plurality, the democratic candidate,
Prince David kawanakoa. receiving only
about one-third as many votes as Park
er. Today 1t is reported that he was

Is said to have secretly thrown her i'm

ness against her among the democrats,
who hoped that, even if they did not
elect their man. they would ait least SC
divide the native vote that Wilcox would
be behind Parker.

that it was merely mild case of in

came from Constantinople, has been
waiting for ten days without obtaining
the audience for which he was special

Although the illness of the czarina is
from natural causes, it is rather worse
