MAUI, Feb. S.-Last night, in spite
of rain and wind, two hundred true
blue annexationists met in the Paia
Railroad warehouse 10 consider i'm
portsnt business. 1t was decidedly
an executive meeting, but perhaps for
several reasons the most satisfactory
one ever held by the Maui Annexation
/ Club. President J. w. kalua called
the meeting TO order AT PM, direct
ly after the arrival of the train from
I Wailuku. After the usual prelimi-
uariss, 81. p. Baldwin introduced 3
resolution TO be forwarded 10 the Homo
/ luiu club. Il was in effect a recon-
I meudstion from Maui AnneXationists
/ that the central (Honolulu) organlZa-
I tion should not urge upon the Advi-
sory Council any increase in Its mem-
I berShip whatever until all the country
I districts were heard from, and that II
was the sense Of this assembly that no
change whatever should take place in
I the present form OF Government until
the Hawaiian question was settled by
I by the present United States Congress
after full discussion. This resolution
passed unanimously.
w. F. Pogue introduced q second
resolution which was also discussed
and unanimously passed, viz, that
the Maui Annexation Club be reor-
canized into district associations, and
that President kalua appoint four
delegates from each Of the four dis
tricts 10 decide upon modus oper-
andi for the new organizations, halua
10 be chairman of the aforesaid COM
mittee.
This as well as the former resolu-
ton was most popular among the
members present, and received many
oral endorsements
The President appointed W. F.
Pogue, II. Laws, Peter Noa, and F.
W. Hardy TO act for Makawao on the

applause greeted every speech, and
the general sentiment OF these brief
phillipsics was for union first, last,
and every time, and against any dis
sension in annexation ranks, however
slight or trivial
