Then.- the arms, neau ami wwiHiem

were raised in isoppl seat ion, while the
Imniiiig ph-cos of cloth dropped from
them. The Imdy then fell away from

which were still fastened to the rail.
The 1ody wax .then in such a position
that only the legs were in the fire.
The cries of the wretch were redoubled
and he again begged to lie shot. Some
wanted to throw him over into the tire,
and other tried to throw oil iqion him,
Boards were earrh!, and a large pil
was made over the prostrate liody.

SURPRISE IX THE
I TIOXS OF HAWAII.
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. ;
