voyage to the Hawaiian Islands begin
ming March J. was not allowed, on the
urgent deficiency bill The House Com
mittce on Appropriations refused TO
grant the money, as told In previous
letter, and the Senate Committee on APP
propriations likewise refused. Fish Com
missioner George NJ. Bowers may yet
hnd some way of meeting the necessary
expenditure.
Delegate Wilcox has presented the pc
tition Of 20 citizens and landowners in
the District of Koolau. Maui. against
granting by the United States govern

any corporation or Individual their wa

the other twenty-five being Kanakas.

see that my refusal to eat 1t, knowingly

Is my friend Mr. McCrosson. who hasn't
lived nearly so long on the Islands as |
have, but who dotes on dog with its
usual accompaniment of poi. Dog ana
poi go together with us, just as ham and
eggs are "A familiar combination in the
States.
Speak up for yourself, Mac; aren't you
fond of our national dish?'
Indeed, | am" said Mr.. McCrosson

cleanly than the pig, which graces the
table of the most refined and wealthy
people OF America. 1t i'll becomes any
man who INDUCES in the flesh of the hog

DELEGATE WILCOX
! Delegate Wilcox, who continues to re-
cover rapidly from his illness, although
he Is not yet able to be out CT doors, has
set the newspaper photographers Of the
country to commenting by his two bills
for increasing salaries of public officials
This stroke of publicity, accomplished
from his sick room, was brought about
mostly through the bill. which he had tC
send to the House to be introduced. pro.
viding that the President of the United
States be given salary of 100000, twice
as much as at present. the Vice Prcsi
dent SIS 600. where the salary now Is
5000; the secretary of President $4,000
twice as much as Secretary Cortelyou
now receives; and the various cabinet

present compensation. This bill alsC
proposes to pay the Chief Justice of TIL,
Supreme Court $20,0VO, where he now get!
$40, 500: and each of the Associate Jus
tices 1880, in place of $1,000, theil
present compensation. All these Mr.
Wilcox would have go into effect will
the beginning of the next administra
tion, March 4 1898, but he goes still fur
ther when 1t comes to members of Con
gress, and proposes to double their salar
les to $1,000 for each session of Congress
or as Congress usually runs, to 5000
annually, where now they get 5000
year. But under the wording of Mr.
Wilcox's bill, If the President should a
any time call an extra session OF Con
, gress, as has not infrequently happene,
in the history of the government, eacl
member of the 1851 would receive an oxtr
