THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. ROYALISTS ON TOP. Defeat Both Republicans and Demo crats in Hawaii. Robert AV. Wllco. Elected neleMfe to C'onnremi, an Ardent -nin-thlicrr nlih the Drpimeil Uurrn l.lllnoltitlanl. Hawaii's delegate to congress, Hob trt W. Wilcox, is nn ardent- friend of ex-Queen Liliuokalani, who did nil in her power to did Ills election Mil rep resentative of the native olrment in the islands as pposed to the white. Wilcox was born February IS, l.Vi.V at Maui. His father was William 8. Wilcox, a sea captain, of Newport, It. 1., and his mother a nntive woman, named Kalua. The futher Is still liv ing on Maui and is S3 years of ape. liob- ert Wilcox was educated at thellalcn kala boarding-school on Maui. and when 15 years old was elected to the lcgis'.a tare from Wailulu district. The congressman-elect was one of a party sent by King Kalukana. to Italy tout tidy in the schools there. With t'aesar Celso Moreno, Hawaiian minister of foreign affairs, who is now in Washington, Wil cox went to Turin Italy, where he en tered a military school. He remained there till iss7. Wilcox was married in Italy 1o Prin cess Victoria Colonnn Pi Stigliana, daughter of Huron Lorenzo Sobrero. In the revolution of duly. 1S89, when the new const il ut ion under Kalnknua was promulgated, Wilcox took a lead ing part, and he is also credited with having been a leading spirit in the un successful revolution which w as for the purpose of placing l.iliuokalani on the throne before the death of Kalakaua. After the overthrow of the queen he was in command of the natives, who for a time seemed likely to give bat tle to the revolutionists. In the revo lution of IS'.ii, when an atempt was made to restore Queen l.iliuokalani, he was again leader. This time he was arrested and imprisoned for about a 3'ear, after which he was pardoned by President (now governor) Dole. The result of the election produced much depression among all whites, as Wilcox was strongly opposed by re publicans and democrats alike. His campaign was nn anti-white canvass, with promises on the part of some of his campaign workers that if lie were elected Queen Liliuokalani would be replaced on the throne. There.sultof ROBERT W. WILCOX. (Hawaii's First Delegate to the United State's Congress.) the vote shows the native bitterness over annexation to be still alive. The republicans carried Honolulu and the Island of Oahu for lion." Samuel Parker by 219 plurality. The demo cratlccandidate, Prince David Kawana nakuo, received only about one-third as many votes as Parker. It is reported that ex-Queen Liliuokalani secretly threw her influence to Wilcox. There is much bitterness against her among the democrats, who hoped that, even if they did not elect their man, they would at least divide the native vote that Wilcox would be behind Parker. The independent native party has carried the house of representatives by , large majority. They will have 14 members of the house, with nine re aublicans and six independents and lemocrats. in the senate there will je seven repub'.icnns, eight independ ents, and one democrat. With the in Jependents in control a lively session s expec ted, as they are against the rul .ng regime. It is likely, as a result of the elec tion, that congress will be asked toes :ablish some limitations upon the vot ng privilege. Many of the whites want property qtia'.iiiention for voters. It s argued that in voting upon a simple olor line many of the natives have diowo themselves unfit for universal suffrage. It Is said that Samuel Parker will go to Washington in any event, and that though he will have no oflicial title. ie will look after Hawaiian interests there. A Iteliulit In Housewives.

This statement is officially made by one of the highest executive ollicinls of the Northern Pacific rnil wny, who admits his company is nbout 1o pass under the control of the (irent Northern.

"There is to be no consolidation or leasing of one property to another, for Messrs. Hill and Morgan recog nize that the laws at certain western states would not permit of such a thing. "Mr. Morgan and Mr. Hill, acting with the Deptsehe bank of Ilerlin, which has always been n large owner of Northern Pacific stock, have pooled their interests in Northern Pacific and have recently greatly added to their holdings of its shares until they now have a majority in the great pool. This Is to be turned over to the Great Northern, giving the latter control of Its rival. "The Great Northern, it is believed, w ill pay for this huge block of North ern Pacific stock by the Issue of new Great Northern common stock or by means of a new security yet to be de termined. "Mr. Hill nnd several of his friends will enter the directory of the.

"It Is in furtherance of this colossal deal that Mr. Hill has decided to re linquish the presidency of the Great Northern to his son-in-law, Samuel Hill, who is now general manager of the company. Mr. Hill will remnln ns chairman of the board of directors." A BEAUTIFUL CHURCH. Savannah's Srw Cathedral One of the Fluent Gothic Edifices In the Con u try.

I.lttle Know n to the World, AllhnnRli 111 Mimic tins Hern Xnnii ljr ThoiifttinilK llnle nnd Henri)- nt 71. At Philadelphia an old innn, w ho cele brated his seventy-fourth birthday lasl May, is busy just now correcting tin manuscript of a new song. At th same time that friends gathered nbout him last spring to congratulate hitr on his birthday they also congi at ulafeti him because it was the forty-fourth annivcrsnry of the publication of the song. "Listen to the Mocking Hird." Tin's song. Bays the St-. Louis Kcptib lie. has gone all over the world. Tht greatest of singers have sung it, street urchins hnve. whistled it. nnd the great est of musicians, ns well as the hum blest, hnve played it. The nntne of the author on the title pnge of the musk it Alice Hawthorne. This is nn us sumed name. The real nntne of the composer Is Septimus Winner. Mr. Winner has always made hi? home in Philadelphia. This is Mr. Win tier's account of the circumstances un der w hich he w rote the famous "Listen to the Mocking Hird," as lie related if recently to a few friends: "At the time I wrote the song there was n lively, merry-hearted little col ored boy running around the street? of Philadelphia. The boy was nlwnyf whistling or singing to the accompani ment of n guitar, and I whs fond of lis tening to him. One day 1 asked him il he would sing a song if I would write It for him. He said that he would, nnd 1 wrote 'Listen to the Mocking Itird," set It to music myself nnd taught it to the boy. It at once became populai and every one ns whistling the air or singing the words, and when I pub lished it there was n great demand for it." The song win sung all over America nnd in many parts of Kurope. Many of the most noted public singers of the flay sang it on the state, and one such singer in particular, Miss Kmmn Ne vada, has sung it in all parts of the world. She is so fond of the song that she sought out the author when she was in Philtidelphin, and on the ocua- SEPTIMVS WINNER. (Author and Composer of "Listen to the Mocking Bird.") slon of her last visit to that city she invited Mr. Winner to hold a reception with her after a concert she had given. Those who remember having seen the name of Alice Hawthorne given as the author of the song on its title pnge will perhaps wonder why this name was given ns the author if it was writ ten by Mr. Winner. The explanation is that. Mr. Winner wrote a great many of his songs over the pen name of Alice Hawthorne, nnd Bent "Listen to the Mocking Bird" into the wor'.d over that name. Another pen nnme of his is "Mark Mason." Indeed, most of his songs have been written over names other than his own, which is proof of the fact that, modesty is one of Mr. Win ner's most marked characterUties. Soldier boys of the civil war will rf member another Bong of Septimus Winner's that was the sensation of the day when it was first put Into circula tion, nnd that was sung around many n enmp fire. This once famous old war song was "Give Us Hack Our Old Com mander." It was inspired by the re moval of Gen. McClellan from the com mand of the army of the Potomac. The failures of his successors crented much criticism and discontent, and this fact sngpested the song to Mr. Winner. It voiced the sentiment of the thousand" of soldier boys who loved MeClellan, nnd Ihe song made such an impression that it attracted the attention of the war department. Some idea of the Im pression the song had made may be had from the fact that the department of war felt called upon to suppress it, and an order went forth forbidding the sale of the song. Mr. Winner was noti fied by the war department that he would be Imprisoned in Fort Lafayette If he continued to sell the song, and n public singer, Julia Mortimer, who was singingitwith tremendous effect on the stage, was Informed that she would be imprisoned If she eont inncd singing It. More than fto.oot) copies of the song were sold In Washington alone, nnd Its author became one of the most talked-of men of the day. One may be sure that the soldiers did not take kind ly to the order forbidding them to sing the song, nnd the feeling against Gen. lUirnsldr, who had succeeded Gen. Mc Clellan, was stronger than It had been before. Mr. Winner Is also the author of that old-time favorite, "What Is Home Willi, out a Mother" lie wrote also "Whis pering Hope," and many other favor ites. Indeed, he Is the nutlior of several hundred songs nnd of n great many books on musical topics, while his mu sical arrangements for the piano and violin reach into the thousands.

Its executive oflicers have always been the lending lights in that branch of the railroad profession whose efforts have been directed towards perfecting passenger transportation. The last president of the association, before the annual meeting, recently held in Huffalo, N. V., was an eastern man, Georeg II. Daniels, the well-known general passenger nnd ticket agent of the New York Central & Hudson ltiver railroad. .His successor, who was se lected at that meeting. Is Henry C.

For the past 30 years Mr. Townsend has been the genernl passenger and ticket agent of the western lines.
