a Delegate Robert w. Wilcox returned
Sirom Washington on the Zealnnlia this
Anorning. Mrs. Wilcox, the childrcn II,
lSeuator Kalauokalani, Representative
gTohn Emmeluth and one or tw) of the
hoser adherents of the delegates poll
Seal creed were on the wharf early this
NSorning awaiting the docking @, ,he
g,teamer. A number of natives We're
7present but there was no demonstration
of any kind beyond "a series of hand
clasps and the more intim lte greeting
of his wife and family.
The delegate was standing close to
the gangway as the boat swung ill.,
dressed in fashionable dark grey aCt!ce
and black derby of the latest style. He
looked gaunt and pale but the ever pre-
sent smile was to the fore as he recog-
nized friends and acquaintances on the
wharf.
"The delegate is not very strong yet
said Mrs Wilcox, "he is always seasick
and though he has entirely recovered
from his stomach trouble and the doc
tors said that the sea trip would bene-
fit him, 1 expect he will be very tired
when he gets ashore. [ expect to take
him straight home"
The delegate did look very much like
va sick man, although he came down the
gang plank briskly enough. He greet
ed his friends pleasantly but briefly
and soon broke through the crowd with
Jhe intention of going home.
Il do not feel much like talking >
he said, that is at present. 1 am feel
ing well, only little tired l am going
on up to the house now. Everything
Is all right at Washington and things
have gone satisfactorily for my cOnsti-
tuents"
Mrs. Wilcox seemed anxious for the
delegate to get home as soon as possi-
BILE and piloted him to the carriage as
quickly as she could. The greeting be-
tween Wilcox, KalauOkalani and EN-
meluth was a quiet one, talk being evil
IDENTIFY reserved for future occasion.
The delegate drove directly home and
1t WAS but a short time before a stream
of visitors climbed the slope of Punch
bowl, and the long steps leading to the
lanai of the Wilcox residence on Hack
field street. Among those arriving
promptly were John +. Colburn, Ka
lauokalani, the aged chaplain of the
Hawaiian Legislature and several other
lntlmates and friends of the delegate
and his household.
Each arrival was greeted with spon-
taniety of welcome by the delegate who
held a continuous reception for some
time. AS the more casual callers de-
parted, the few who remained, held a
quiet reunion over an Hawaiian lunch
con, the delegate enjoying typical Ha-
" allan dishes and dainties for the first
time for many months. lengthy
prayer was first offered on the lanai by
I the old chaplain in thankfulness for the
Esafe return of the delegate and the
good that had been accomplished for
the country and the race.
II am really feeling very WELL" said
9Wilcox, "the sea voyage has done me
lots of good. and | greatly improved,
The trouble 1 had left me as soon as L
Asecured the right doctor and the right
Areatment and 1 am cured of that. 1
an glad to get back again. that need
y Erdly be said. Things have gone
Ary satisfactory in Washington,
hough of late it has been very hard to
get any great interest shown in Ha-
waiian matters. Congress will close on
the third 1 expect, and the members
are all anxious to get to their homes
and through with the remaining busi-
ness, especially the representatives
who are naturally anxious to get back
to their constituents as quickly as pos
sible.
Yes, was anxious too. I expect to
stand as a candidate for delegate once
more. / do not know anything about

OF the kind, but of course 1t may be so.
