HAWAII SEEKS STATEHOOD.
Delegate Wilcox Discusses the Fu-
ture of the Territory.

He Declares the People VIII Never
Agree to Be Included in Dis
srict of CaIifornfa-To Introduce n
The proposition TO annex Hawaii to
the State OF California and convert ii into
q Congressional district to consist of five
counties viii never meet with the approx
al of the Hawaiians.' said Delegate VIII
cox, of Hawaii, in discussing the matter
yesterday.
The talk that such an attempt VIII be
made originated with a newspaper man by
the name of Marshall. who conducts 4
weekly paper In Honolulu There are some
people on the island who would no doubt
be willing to see Hawaii made q district
of California, but they represent a very
small minority That there can be no
question how I stand on the proposition,
you can say for me that when Congress
meets next December the first bill I shall
introduce viii be one to admit Hawaii TO
Statehood OF course, I realize that slch
q measure will meet with opposition
on the ground that we have but recently
been Incorporated into a Territory, and
that we should wait Be that as it may,
I will introduce my bill. because know
the sooner you start to work in such
matters the sooner your effort viii meet
with reward.
Some day Hawaii will be a State. and
1t viii not be many years What we
want right now is a cable between San
Francisco and Honolulu. I have bin
already prepared, which I Will introduce
when Congress meets, to authorize the
laying Of a cable between the island and
California. I do not care whether the ca
bic is laid by corporation or by the
Government. I am told there are nu-
merous business men who are eager for
the necessary authority to lay a cable
from San Francisco to Honolulu, and
thence to the Philippines. I am satisfied
the next Congress will enact the necessary
legislation.
viii be fresh impetus added to the com
mercial relations between the United
States and the Territory Of Hawaii p"
Delegate wilcox says there is much
feeling against Governor Dole, who seems
unable TO get along with the people The
regular session OF the Legislature. he
said, refused TO pass a bin recommended
by the Governor to authorize a loan OF
.. Geo 11t. and because of that refusal
Governor Dole. So 1t Is said, would not
sign the county law bill.
The county law bill" said Delegate
Wilcox. authorized the counties to elect
their county officers. which would take
just 50 much patronage out OF the hands
OF the Governor The bill was not passed
until near the close Of the regular SeS-
sion of the Legislature, and hence il re

THE discovery Of oil in Texas has start
ed boom in the Lone Star State, the like
OF which has not been witnessed in that
section of the country in years remark
ed Representative Stephens Of Texas.
There is every indication that the boom

around the Beaumont oil fields has ad-
vanced a thousand per cent, and is still
rising In addition TO this there has been
a steady stream OF emigration which has
been most welcome Texas is really the

sources. Il is an empire in itself And

manufacturing State in the country
Texas produces one-third of the cotton
crop Of the United States; we have the
finest iron ore to be found, TO say nothing
Of coal. In fact you can find anything

Commenting on the political situation
Representative Stephens said the outlook
for Democratic success next year was
most encouraging Just at this time,
he added, 1t seems the tariff question is
destined to come to the front again. and
to be the issue between the two parties
although the Republicans, judging froEn
the expressions of their leading organs
are doing their best TO let the subject Sc
Yerely alone. The Western people are de
1nanding relief from the trusts and they
say the only way to get relief is to repeal
the law which gives protection to the
trusts.
Eastern Republicans protest against
any such measure, saying that TO tinker
with the tariff Will Unsettle business and
result in chaos. Here We have for the
first time an apparent split in the ranks
Of the enemy And If we remain firm and
present 3 united front We cannot help but
win. The old saying IS when thieves fail
out honest men get their dues and just
now it looks very much like the trusts are
about to fall out The trusts, We all
know, control the Republican party

There is an impression abroad. however.
that Cornell viii not stand the terrlnc

Georgetown. Syracuse, and Pennsylva-
MIA are not considered factors in the

better crew than last year. Pennsylvania
has sacrificed her eight for the sake OF
her four. in which she has a swift quar-
tette. HanIan has kept shifting the Co
Iurnbia four and even at this late date
the positions in the boat are not settled
PennsvIvania's tall freshmen are the IA
y-orites in their race. The Cornell young
sters have done the two miles in S;25 on
trial and will undoubtedly make the
OuaFers hustle to win out Not much is
known of the Syracuse freshmen, but
they are considerably lighter than the
other crews.

vapia and Syracuse in the inside positions
