San FRANCISCO. June 2i.-Robert
wilcox. who is here. says that former
Queen Lilluokalani intended when he
left Washington. to start today from
that city on her homeward journey.
She will stay In San Francisco a fort
night before she sails for her native
land.
Congressman Wilcox arrived here
June is and had booked on the steam
ship Alameda. He expressed his dis
appointment in that vessels being laid
up for repairs and the Zealandia sub
stituted. He will take the next steam
er. Wilcox is a sick man, though much
improved In the past few weeks. His
face Is not particularly thin but his
step is weak. and he confesses to feel
ing shaky i'm the legs when he walks.
He says that the ulcer in his stomach
caused him to vomit quantities OF blood
and that the loss of the life-giving fluid
has drained his strength. He dismissed
several physicians before he found one
who prescribed what the patient
thought proper treatment. Wilcox eats
very simple food. and longs for poi and
fish.
Il will be a new man when l have
been a week on poi and fish, said he
to me last night. Meat liz repugnant
to me and hunger greatly for the food
of the Islands. / intend to take the
best care of myself for ! will have lots

nomination and the office. My constit-
uents are satisfied with my course in
Washington, and my party is stronger
than ever. We will have even n strong
er representation in the Legislature
than we have had. and we will ac-
complish more for the good of Hawaii.
II believe Congress will adjourn be-
fore the Fourth of July, as the mem
bers are all yearning to get to their
homes. Only the canal and Cuban dis
cussion have kept the Senate and
House in session until now. Almost all
the statesmen are weary Of the work
and want rest
Hawaii will be thoroughly investi-
gated by the committee which will go
there this summer. The investigating
committee will be composed OF three
Republicans and one Democrat. in all

for honest labor on their part. We
shall try to assist them as much az
possible and especially to head of the
usual attempts of the missionaries to
turn Investigations into junkets. The
committee will be thoroughly informed
OF this trick of those who fear investf-
cation. and will be given opportunities
to see realities in Hawaii, and no,
merely the delights of banquets, bath

will be sincere and ] expect their re-
port to help us very much.
