WILCOX rs NoN-CoMMITTAL.
Says There Is Division of Senti
ment Among Constituents.

Delegate to Congress R. w. Wilcox of
Hawaii arrived in the city yesterday and
is at the Occidental. He says that there
is a division of opinion on the islands in
reference to Chinese exclusion. The labor
ing classes are anxious to have the jap
anese as well as the Chinese barred. On
the other hand rich planters are desirous
that Chinese be allowed to land. The
Chinese, says Wilcox. are the only ones
that can be induced to work in the rice
fields, which are flooded at certain seasons
of the year.
Delegate Wilcox says that he feels as
sured that Congress will take some action
this session in reference to making an al
lowance for ex-Queen Liliuokalani She
would be satisfied if she were voted a
quarter of million dollars and he be-
lievess that would be both reasonable
and fair amount.

WITNESSES ARE READY
IN THE LYNCHING CASE

ALTURAS, Nov. 25.-The trial of James
Brown, constable, who is alleged to have
been implicated in the Lookout lynchlng

overruled the objection, but gave the
prosecution until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning to get the papers on file.
The courtroom was crowded, and many
persons were compelled to stand. The
100 jurors and the eighty witnesses are
now present, and in all probability the cx-

ors will begin tomorrow.

New York. June 14.-The Washington

Representative Hepburn of Iowa eX-
pressed qualification at the action of the
Cuban convention, but he has grave
doubts about the success of the people
in undertaking to govern themselves.
Il should like to see every political tie
between the United States and Cuba
severed he said, but realize that we
will be obliged to exercise some sort of
supervision over the island. In my
opinion, the Cubans are not capable of
self government and my prediction is
that in IL months the Cubans will be
at each others throats. Then, perhaps
we will be forced to intervene.
II should regard it as a great misfor-
tune If the United States should ever
annex the island with it's turbulent peo-

they were finally rounded up there were
