Washington, Dec. Two native Hawaii
ans arrived at the Capitol to-day and
filed a protest with the House Committee
on Elections against the seating OF Robert
W. WILCOX the delegate from Hawaii. The

mcnts, and are nrc pared tn arSu" the.r cas-
before the committee Al length. if given tn
opportunity
IL is quite evident by the manner in which
the HaWalians went about the business. that
they have acquired more than a smat tering
of American political methods. Wilcox Is
the first delegate from Hawaii who. remark
able as IL may seem. owes his election to
espousins an issue favorab. to the restora-
tion of the Queen. 1t is claimed that he
ing monarchy was elected to a republican
cOngrs s..
The charges against Wilcox are that he il
gresham: that the Governor of Hawaii ha!
no authority to call an election. and that
he was In error in giving Mr.. Wilcox his
certificate.
The Hawaiian delegate is 4 good deal OF Il
mystery. He has not Yet put in an appear
ance here. No one seems to know where he
is II IS said that the petitioners who We're
at the Capitol to-day left Hawaii after him
and they supposed that he was already on
the scene. In event Of the committee agree
ing TO hear the charges against wilcox. IL
is said that witnesses Will he brought from
