The Hawaiian gazette., 1891-02-10

tons were TO have been drawn up,
while only two were presented by the
committee.
Hon. j. 4. Hookano informed him
that the resolutions were in accord
ance to the duty charged to the COM
mittee.
Hon. ] w. Kalua of Maui thought
resolutions covered everything
necessary, and it was not necessary
to send separate copies by post to
the President of the United States
and city officials of San Francisco,
but committee should present them
to the Minister residing here. He
wished to state to the Hawaiians
who might think he was a sycophant
towards foreigners that they should
think of the attention given to his
late Majesty by the Americans was
unequalled; they must observe what
was done for HIM; brought here by
no request from us by the American
Government, and it was becoming of
Hawaiians to fully express them
selves. The Kings death marks an
era in our history, and that even
the King did die in California, it
will tend to draw nearer our rela-
tons to America All owe debt of
gratitude to the King, and he did
not think any one would deny that
the King did a great deal to help ALL
David Malo thought the clause re-
| lating to the reciprocity should be
struck out, as the Queen might think
that those drafting the resolutions
thought only of what the King had
done in the way of reciprocity rather
than for any affection for the King.
The resolutions as read were final
ly passed by the meeting, after
which committee Of seventeen was
appointed to see to the engrossing
and presentation of the resolutions
to those for whom they are intended.
