ELEC- TTie White of the Island Are Mmh ; Iepr'ssel over tlie Election of . Delegate to Congress. IIOXOLCT.t, Nov. O. via San Fran cisco. Xov. tU. Robert W. Wih-ox, the IndciKiuhnt Rnjalist candidate, has been electinl Hawaiian delegate to Con gress, by a small majority, over Riim uel 1 a rker,1 the ISepnblica n ca nd Ida te. His strong vote among thenatives in the outside 'districts' carrkil the day against the widtes and intelligent na tive voters Of ihe cities. Xews of the result of the election, which was brought to Hotiolulit this morning liy steamers carrying returiits from the other islands produced much dcir-ssion jtiiKing all the whites, as Wilcox was strongly optioned by Re publicsins" ami HeniiKrats alike. His campaign was au anti-white canvas-, witii promises on tlte part of some ot his campaign workers tliat if lie wele elected, tjueen Iiiluokalaui would 1h r'pla etl jii tlte throne. The ri'snlt of the vote shows the native bitterness over annexation to be still alive. Tlie Republicans carried Honolulu ami the island -of Oahtt for; Hon. ..Sam ite! 'Parker .by lil'.t plurality, the lem-m-ratii candidate. Prince Kawaiiana fcoa. 'receiving only nliout n-tliirl as many votes as l'arker. Tishiy it is ex ported tliat he was knif-l" by ex tjuren I.iiiuokalaui. wjio is said to have secretly thro'ivu her Iuterest to Wihstx. There Is much bittcmcSM against Iter among the Iemocrats, who hoH-l that, even if they did not elect Uieir man. they would at least so di vide the native vote that Wilcox would be lchind Parker. L The indepmdi nt native party have carried the House of RcprcseiitativcH by a large majority riiey will have fourt-'n of: their men in the House, with nine liepublicaits ami six men who are independent and , Democratic. In the Sena le there will lie seven Re publicans.! eight independents and one lK-nocratj With the huleiK-udcnts in control, a lively sessioii is exiat-tetl, and they are against the riding regime and will give tiovernor Hole pk'iity of optMirtuuitios for -vetoes.. It is likely as a result of the election that Congress wilP be asked to estalv lish some limitations ou tlie votlug privilegi's. Tin tuMives have won up on a r.-t'-e division, ami now many of the whites want a property qualifica tion for voters. It is argue! tliat In voting ttpoi'i ;i simple color line many of the natives have shown themselves untit for uuiversal suffrage. Jho retnnis, -wlpcu- are wit quite complete, tsuow ucox sixty-nine vo!e. ahead. The precincts to Ik? heard from are expected to slightly increase this nuirauty. Utlcox carrie! ererv Uan bur Oahu. wlere Honolulu Is. with its large white population and with a riia iority of l lie more ! cduc a tetl na t i ves The islam! of Kauai gave more votes to vt ih-ox than to l'arker and David combined. . The iiKwt en-onraging feature to the wiiites of both parties Is in the fact that the Wilcox majority Is m uiall. which show that very, many of the natives. were divided upon other than race lines. If all the natives had cast Wilcox votes his majoritr on each side of the islands would have been much larger than It Is. - Probably a third of tlie native iMmnlatiou Is aligiHMl with the American parties, and it is thoueht that the; future will rapidly increase !he proiiortton. Th present prospect h that the Con- mvsnMn-k'ct Will lie utterly !gnorel by tlte commercial and otlKT interests of the islands, t It Is said that I a rker will go to Washington In a nv event md tliat though he will have no ottic lal title he will'I.k after Hawaiian lu- erests there. ; FBOM GOYKRNOR ROOSEVELT.
