Views on Wilcox.

J. Castle Ridgway, former secretary
secretaries to the Hawaiian Commits
! sion which held session in Honolulu in
the fall of 1898, arrived yesterday on
the transport Hancock al is registered
at the Hawaiian with his mother and
sister. Mr.. Ridgway has come to Hos
| nolulu to take up the duties of an in
spector of the immigration Depart
ment, to which he was appointed in
Washington. He will work in conjunc-
ton with Joshua K. Brown, who has
! charge of the Chinese inspection in Ha-
wall.
Mr.. Ridgway is a young man who has
made a name for himself in Washing
/ ton, and as the secretary to Senator
Cullom and secretary to important COM
mittees of which the Senator is chair
man, he got pull which finally result
ed in an appointment to the Hawaiian
Islands. His brother, Thomas Ridg-
way, who came to the Islands a year or
so ago, is now an attorney of Hilo.
| Castle Ridgway at some future time
intends to join in partnership with his
brother in the practice Of law.
| Speaking to an Advertiser reporter
concerning the affairs of Hawaii in
Congress, Mr.. Ridgway said:
Hawaii came out of the Congress
sional appropriations deal all right. In
the last few days of Congress and after
a constant hammering on the part of
the friends of the Islands, Congress
passed bill appropriating 100000
with which to pay off the old Hawaiian
debt. In spite of the opposition to the
measure at first, it received hearty
support almost at the eleventh hour.
LAS to the river and harbor' appro-
priation bill, the result is well known.
Although there was an item in the bill
for surveys of all the harbors of the
Islands, nothing was gained as the en-
tire bill was held up.
/ When the news reached Washington
of the supposed smugglers which were
acting in a mysterious way at Kauai,
| Senator Cullom interested himself at
once in having an appropriation of
| 5000, 900 made for a revenue cutter for
service in Hawaiian waters. He work
ed hard for"that measure, as did also a
number of others. There was a hitch,
however, and the Senate and House
could not come to an agreement on all
1.-THE items. Three revenue cutters We're
knocked out and that for Hawaii was
lone of the three. Senator Cullom, how
ever, told me that he would take the
matter up at the next session of Con-
Egress.
Robert Wilcox did very we'll indeed
lin Washington. Considering it was his
first session, that he was utterly unac-
lquainted with the general procedure of
an American Congress, and further,
that it was a short session, he accom-
Iplished more than people were willing
to give him credit for. AS soon as he
caught on to the ropes he managed to
keep Hawaii we'll in front, and al
though not a great amount of legisla-
ton was done for Hawaii, yet in pro-
portion to what others in Congress did,
Wilcox performed his part WE'LL
