The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-05-08

The most important event OF the
week was the arrival Of the Claud-
inc on Wednesday morning with
her complement OF passengers.
The party entertained at Spreckels-
vile included Mrs. David Center,
Misses Spreckels and Neumann,
Messrs. Claus Spreckels, Samuel
Parker and Rudolph Spreckels.
Mrs. s. G.. Wilder has been visit
ing in Kahului and Makawao DUR
ing the week.
Mrs. Sproul has been the guest
of the Won Tempsky's in Kula.
The return of Maui's annexation
delegation also excited interest.
They reported most courteous
treatment and the best of good
times. They had more social in
vitations than they could possibly
respond to, and great kindness was
shown them by the Honolulu an
nexation club, whose rooms were
made their headquarters during
their stay.
After leaving the club rooms the
delegates first made their bow" be-
fore the Provisional government
and were nicely received by Presi-
dent Dole and the other gentlemen
of the cabinet. They next called
upon Minister Stevens, who gave
them sage advice and assured them
that annexation was inevitable.
Their visit to Commissioner
Blount was of course the climax of
the days doings. His questions
were mainly concerning the ma
tives' wishes and ideas IN regard to
suffrage. To every question j. w.
RaIua, who acted as spokesman Of
the party (Mr. E. H. Bailey inter
preting), had ready answer, which |
was Immediately recorded in short
hand by the secretary.
Mr.. Blount maintained his
sphinx-like, neutral position in re-
gard to the issue of the day, but
was very cordial and most compli-
mentary in regard to the Maui
delegation, which, so it is said,
made better impression than any
Of the previous ones.
The Patriotic League delegates
all remained in Honolulu with the
exception of Kaai Of Hama, who
was compelled to return by the
Claudine.
