HONOLULU, TUESDAY, FEB. 25.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 14, 1902

Mrs. R. W. Wilcox, Honolulu, Hawaii ,
Mail San Francisco:
                My condition is better, of course. Still confined in the house. Many kisses to Keoua and Kapu and yourself. Love to Mama and Eva. All join me in salute to you all.
ROBERT W. WILCOX.
7:25 p. m.

                The Governor of Porto Rico receives a salary of $8,000.

                Her Majesty Queen Liliuokalani wil be addressed as above by every true Hawaiian and don't you forget it.
                The old Tiser cannot get along without a few words about Delegate Wilcox or Mrs. Wilcox. "What a fine Tin."
                Mrs. Robert Wilcox received Capt. Merry of the U. S. N., and Paymaster Hall of the U. S. Iroquois and Doctor C. F. Stokes and Doctor W. L. Bell and Lieut. Spear of the U. S. N. Solace and Doctor McDonald and Mrs. McDonald last week. She was assisted by Miss Lilian Cramer.

                The antlered brotherhood of Elks had an enjoyable time last evening and despite the fact that an actor gave the order an unsavory reputation on the mainland herd on Hawaii was O. K.

                That the financial condition of the Territory is verging on the eve of a general disaster is witnessed by the failure of so mahy of our large enterprises, the latest now being the Kona Sugar Co. which has been placed in the hands of a receiver.

                With "Cupid" amongst the Home Rule Republicans it is no wonder that they are jealous at the rally the women of the country are making to the support of the only legitimate Republican party which guarantees protection of the equal rights brothers, cousins and lovers.

                With Sam and the numerous candidates for the governorship working the wires at Washington and the present incumbent with a Doleful countenance preparing to make room for his successor the dark clouds hovering over the Hawaiian situation bid fair to clear away in the very near future.

                Hon. J. F. Colburn returned by the Alameda yesterday and is glad to be at home again.

                Hon. Samuel Parker and wife returned by the Alameda and were welcomed by several of their friends.

                Prince David Kawananakoa and bride returned yesterday bv the Alameda. They are both looking well and we are delighted to have them home again with us.

                We are very sorry to hear of Mr. Eddie Masfarlane's illness. He is not expected to live. We hope that this is not true and that he will recover soon and be with us once more.

                Among the guests at the Shoreham on February 2 were Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Macfarlane ,  Mr .  F. W.   Macfarlane, Jr., and Mr. Guy E. Macfarlane of Honolulu. They are touring America for pleasure.

                Senator Clay of Georgia was very happy February 5th, when the President sent to the Senate the name of William Fleming to be Postmaster of Athens, the college town of Georgia. Mr. Fleming is a prominent  business man of Athehs and his selection satisfied everybody.

                The marriage of Miss Helen Hay, eldest daughter of the Secretary of State, to Mr. Payne Whitney of New York took place at the Church of the Covenant. One thousand invitations were issued. Her toilet was plain white satin completed by a tulle veil caught in place by a coronet of orange blossoms.

                Now that the Ministerial Union is going to write up a true (?) history of the early fathers and the growth of the mission work, we would like to remind them perhaps it would be well to include the persecutions the early Catholics received at the instigations and advice of these bigots and how they were compelled to carry the sewer wastes and offal to the sea for fidelity to their faith.

                Every now and then the Anti-Saloon League blossoms out in public print as if seeking notoriety. If the reverend gentlemen who are agitating the movement would only come off their lofty perches and do some practical preaching around the saloon corners instead of leaving that disagreeable part of the work to the poor hard worked but brave little army lasses they would earn the respect of the community and at the same time reach the ears of the liquor drinkers.

THE DANISH WEST INDIES.

                The treaty with the Danish Government for the cession of the Danish West Indies to the United States for the sum of $5,000,000 was reported to the Senate by Senator Cullom, the committee on foreign relations having at its last meeting directed such action. No amendment was made by the committee. It is understood that the action of the committee was practically unanimous.
                There was no discussion of the treaty in executive session. An effort was made to remove the injunction of secrecy from the treaty, but objection was made and the document was ordered to be printed. Its provisions have already been generally published.
                Senator Cullom said yesterday that he hoped to secure the ratification of the treaty next week. When the treaty has been ratified the House will be asked to pass an appropriation of $5,000,000 to defray the cost of purchase. After this has been secured the affirmative vote of the people of the islands must be obtained before the transfer to the United States will be complete.
