HOME AGAIN.

Delegate Wilcox Returns to Homo
lulu and Discusses Local Affairs.
Hawaii's Delegate to Congress,
Robert w. Wilcox, returned home
last night in the Zealandia after au
absence OF nearly eight months at
Washington.
The INDEPENDENT found him at 9
O'Clock this morning sitting on the
beautiful lanai of his house on the
slopes of Punchbowl and surround
ed by Mrs. Wilcox, Senator Kalau-
okalani, George Markham and o
number of FL ome Rule leaders and
friends.
The Delegate looked we'll and
healthy; the trip across the Pacific
and his return to his native cline
have done him world OF good and
he thinks that after few days rest
he will be his old self again.
Politics, of course, was the sub,
jsct discussed in that friendly gath
ering Of politicians, When the sub
isct OF Fire Claims was broachsd,
Delegate Wilcox smiled and at
once laun nched into description of
the careful scrutiny which the ap
preparation bill will be subjected
to by the old watch dog Of the Treas
ury, Joe Cannon There is no doubt
in my mind, however" continued Mr.
Wilcox, "but that the bill appropri-
atiug $l,000000 for the payment ol
fire claims will be passed, | have
received assurances to that effect"
"Sam Parker's Ditch bill will mol
get through this session. This
Federal Government is very 10th to
pass measures which really ought
to be considered by the Territorial
Legislature, but it will pass this
bill all right during the next ses-
sion. There was feel ng at Wash.
ington 10 recommend that the mat
ter be referred to the Territorii
Superintendent of Public Works
but it was not done, The reasons
Well, they think that Gov, Dole ha
too much power already.
"Pain's bill, authorizing him tc
use electric power for his trsmwayl
will also be passed at the mex
session. A careful investigation ha
been made and we have shown tina

Practical jokers of the kind prac-
ticed by certain white men upon an
old native man cannot expect mercy
from our District Magistrate, and
therefore, the rebuke the Judge
gave them yesterday before his
court, elsewhere recorded in this
issue, is perfectly just and most de-
serving. But what we are sorry
most that Judge Wilcox did not i'm
pose a much eeverer sentence on
such practical jokers of the genus
haole And we hope though that
when their appeal is brought before
the Circuit Court and jury OF their
peers, they will all receive their just
desserts and no mercy shown them.
According to an interview with
Delegate Wilcox, elsewhere record.
ed herein, the fire claims appropri.
alton will pass the U. S. Congress
after it has passed the scrutiny OF
the watch dog of the Treasury, Rep
rssentative Cannon, thai is, when
the justice OF the request and de.
maud is made known to satisfy all
curiosity. 1t is to be- earnestly
hoped that by the next mail, We will
hear favorable reports OF it's passage
and approval. Though the certii-
Gates OF awards for the fire claims
are practically ready for distribution
among the claimants, nothing is TO
be done by the FireClaims Commis
sion until final action is taken upon
the bill appropriating one mil ion
dollars in Congress. The warrants
are all dated July lst, and made
payable August 5th next, but will
not be given out for awhile. This
course we deem quite proper and
opportune, aud claimants should
rsst assured that justice will be
done them. E hoonsgnawanut.

ought to be dealt with by the Terri
torial Legislature, such thing
could not be done owing TO Gov.
Dole's arbitrary use ,ot his right to
Veto" Mr.. Wilcox feels confident
that Congressional investigation
committee will visit the Territory
during the coming summer. The
following resolution was introduced
by Senator Mitchell OF Oregon on
June 18th.
Resolved, That the Committee on
Pacific Islands and Porto Rico be,
and is hereby, authorized and di-
rected to investigate, inquire into,
and ascertain the general condition
OF the islands OF Hawaii, the admin.
istration o! the affairs thereof, the
ares, condition, quality, and value
OF the public lands, the leasing,
selling, or disposing thereof, and to
make such recommendation as may
be deemed necessary; to investigate
and ascertain the area, condition,
qualify, and value of the crown
lands, the rents, issues, or other
revenues or proceeds received there
from since January II, 1898; wheth-
er or not the former Queen OF said
islands now possesses auy legal or
equitable right, title, or interest in
or to the same; the granting OF
franchises or other privileges, the
question OF immigration, the condi-
tion OF labor therein, and to inquire
into and report upon all other
necessary matters pertaining to the
executive, Legislature, judicial. edu
cational, tax, school, financial, and
other syatems thereof.
For the purposes aforesaid said
committee, or a subcommittee there.
OF appointed by the chairman, shall
have powor to send for persons and
papers, to visit the islands, to ad-
minister oaths, to sit during the
recess of Congress-; and said COM
mittes shall report at the beginning
of the next session of Congress the
result OF it's Investigations, the ex-
penses of said investigation to be
paid out OF the contingent fund OF
the S mate.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on Pacific Isla Ids and
Porto Rico.
When asked as to the outlook for
the next campaign, Mr.. Wilcox
begged to be excused from express
ing any opinion as he had jlst ar
rived and was ignorant of the situa-
tion. He was emphatic, h wsver, as
to the personality of the candidates
for the next Legislature. "They
must be the best men available,
honest, intelligent and having the
common interest OF the Territory at
heart. We want men who will give
US home rule. Washington wants
us to have Home Rule. We must
have a Legislature which the
Governor will have to respect. Fore
most among the cam paign battle
cries must be: County and City
Government. All the Territories
have it; Porto Rico has it, and it
will be organized in the Philippines.
Why not in Hawaii7"
By this time. the broad lanai
overlooking the city and the ocean
was crowded by many friends aud
political associates, so the repre-
sentative of TIE INDEPENDENT
withdrew after Mr.. Wilcox had
requested him to give the Dele
gates Aloha to the people Of this
city and Territory. 1t is done.

An observant Philadelphia dramatic
writer once pointed out that the most
essential ingredient in the formula for
the libretto of successful comic opera
for comedian star is some unique
form of soul narrowing, heart -rend-
ing, marrow chilling and hair-raising
trouble or peril through all the stages
of which the star in question must go
during the two and half hours of the
performance. a hasty mental review
of the principal successes of Frank
Daniels, Francis Wilson and DeWolf
Hopper verities the correctness of the
above theory and it seems true that in
the case of the comic opera comedian,
trouble for the comedian spells fun for
the audience. This rule is said to
have been applied again in the case of
Frank Daniels newest offering, Miss
Simplicity, in which he is to appear
here soon. In his new role, Daniels is
supposed to have been a former trolley
car conductor who suddenly finds him
self the valet to young king. This
combination would be enough to make
most men feel shaky. But Dan
iels, or Blossoms, as he is known in
the play, has to manipulate an auto
mobile and his first comic opera deed
is to appear coming through space from
an explosion of the 'gasolene buggy -
Before he gets the roadside dust out of
his mouth, his royal master let's him
know in an easy. otfhand way that he
is to act as king for an indefinite pc
riod-and then his troubles begin in
real earnest. He is beset by a con
spring band of ministers who hunger
for his life and who try to plunge him
into war and at the same time he is
kept in an ecstacy of unease by his eff
forts to keep on the right side of his
real sweetheart and at the same time
maintain the intrigues and amours that
are supposed to make up part of the
life of every well-regulated monarch.

CATHOLIC UNION DEFEATED.

Y M, c. A. Wins the Second of the League
Series by Score of Weakness in
Important Positions Responsible for Catho.
lie Unions Defeat-Good Pitching by Mon.
roe.
The second game in the Brattleboro
baseball league series took place on the
island grounds Saturday afternoon
when the Y. NJ. G. A. team met and
defeated the Catholic Union nine by a
score of 15--4. While the victory was
apparently easy for the association
players it is in no way safe to Judge
the strength of the losers by the
work they did. There is plenty of ma
terial for a strong team in the Catho-
lie Union players but all of them were
suffering more or less from grandstand
fright Saturday and when their oppo-
nents secured the lead by several runs
disheartenment overlook them. Then
too the Union was badly handicapped
by the absence of its regular catcher,
and the substitute, Riley, was obliged
to use left-hand NIT on his right
hand, which is anything but satisfac-
tory
Waterman and Monroe did the twirl
ing for the Y. NJ c. \. and both were
effective although Waterman S slow de-
livery made it an easy thing for a run
ner to trot around the diamond after
he had reached first. Tufts caught a
good game for the association and his
base throwing was much better than
last Saturday. In fact with Monroe in
the box it was extremely difficult to
steal base and several of the Union
players who had accomplished the trick
successfully when Waterman was pitch
ing were caught.
Oliver, the ambidextrous twirler of
the Catholic Union, was fairly effective
his lack of practice was
shown by the number of bases on, balls
which he gave. With practice he will
make strong man in the box for he
has speed to burn and a variety of
curves. Charles Dunleyy, the smallest
man on the team, established himself
in popular favor at the bat by finding
the ball three times and twice reach
inc first The score

In the case of several Guilford tax
payers who recently appeared before
the board of civil authority of that
town and claimed that gasoline engines
were not taxable, the board held that
they were taxable as personal property.
Road Commissioner Eames and the
selectmen commenced work Wednesday
morning putting in a ten-foot drainage
pipe from the Main street bridge to
the corner of Elliot street. The new
pipes will be laid on the east side of
the street leaving the old pipe intact.
The pipes will be laid with view to
carrying them as far as the library at
another time We would suggest that
this would also be a good time to cut
down and pave Main street hill for
which work the money was raised by a
special tax at the March meeting of a
year ago. The paving blocks We're pur
chased last year and are available for
immediate use, The work on the
drainage sewer will require about four
weeks.

Steadily Since.
The feeling in Brattleboro on the is
sue of high license and local option was
shown in decisive manner last Fri
day evening when in response to brief
notice in the Reformer and few small
handbills posted in secluded spots, over
100 men gathered in the Grange ban
quet hall for the purpose OF forming a
club for the support of Percival w.
Clement, the high license and local OPP
ton candidate for governor. The meet
ing was called to order by Charles r.
Crosby who explained briefly the need
of organization for Mr.. Clement if
everyone would take hold and do his
best toward securing votes.
The following officers were then elect
ed: President, E. w. Blodgett; vice
president, Charles r. Crosby: secre-
tary, Howard c. Rice; treasurer,
Charles A. Boyden; executive commit
tee in addition to officers, G. o. Rob

ris, Charles McRae literature commit
mittee, J. r. Ryder; chairmen, E. F.

The motion was then made and car
ried that the executive committee be
empowered to draw up ticket to be
supported at the coming caucus, and
the secretary was instructed to call a
meeting of the club as soon as the va
rious committees had met and We're
ready to report.
After this business was transacted
there were several brief speeches which
drew forth much applause, and all
present were then asked to come for
ward and enroll themselvef as members
of the Brattleboro High License and
Local Option club. About 125 names
were signed before adjournment was
taken, and since then the list has been
increased to

In a practice game at West Brattle-
boro Saturday the Durham Brothers
league triumphed easily over the nine
from Brattleboro academy, the final
score being BIB. Ellis, Durham 5
regular pitcher, was not in the box but
his place was satisfactorily taken by
Osgood and Tucker neither of whom
had ever pitched in game before.
Fisher pitched well for the academy
team but poor support on the part of
the remainder of the team was respon-
sible for the size of the score Dun
levy was struck in the eye by foul
tip while at bat in the fifth inning and
was obliged to retire from the game.
