Wilcox, the Independent Royalist candidate, has been elected Hawaiian delegate to congress by a small majority orer Samuel Parker, Republican. Much depression has resulted among all whites, as Wilcox was strongly opposed by Republicans and Democrats alike. His campaign was an andwhite canvass, with promises on the part of some of his campaign workers that if he were elected Queen Liliuoka* lani should be restored to the throne.

Thousands of caribou roam the vast barrens of the Island's interior, following a beaten path every spring and fall, and all the hunter has to do Is to lay fn wait at a favorable point on the path and wait for the game to pass. In order to be successful the hunter must be armed with a rifle that will carry far, as It is Impossible to get nearer than from 1SO to %V yards of the caribou, which scent far anl are very fast travelers.

The Chinese officials mentioned in the decree are among the highest in China and comprise most, if not all, of those against whom the powers demanded rigorous punishment. Prince Tuan stands at the head of the antiforeign and Boxer movement. Previous edicts have degraded him and taken away his office and servants, but this judgment of life imprisonment is the most severe thus fav ?iven to any of the leaders responsible or the trouble. From a Chinese standpoint it is an extreme penalty to a prince of the blood, but it remains to be seen whether the powers will regard it as adequate to Prince Tuan's offense. The others mentioned were Tuan's active associates, and two of them were specifically mentioned for punishment, along with Tuan, in Secretary Hay's note of Oct. 3 advising the Chinese government that this country would expect these officials to receive their just deserts. Kang Yi is one of the officials who died suddenly after the demands for'punishment had been made, probably by suicide. Yti Hsien is another who was thought to have committed suicide, but the edict indicates that he is still alive. It is likely, as a result of the election, that congress will be asked to establish some limitations upon the voting privi lege.
