Reported in the Hama Union Club.

During the past week Maui people
have been holding political meetings
| all over the island. Tonight at Wal
luku court house a general conven-
| ton of the Maui Union Party will be
held for the purpose of nominating
candidates for three Senators and three
Representatives.il According to the
| edict of the Central Committee, La
haina and Maui are entitled to three
delegates, Wailuku three, Hama three,
while Makawao is to send four. The
Lahaina people have expressed a pre-
ference for w. y. Horner as a candi-
date for Senator, and Rev. a. Pail for
Representative. Both of these names
have already been endorsed by the
Wailuku and Makawao clubs.
Last night the Wailuku Union Club
nominated in addition to the above,
H. p. Baldwin and James Anderson
for Senators, and S. L. Kaleikau, of
Waihee, for Representative.
During the same evening at Hama
kuapoko the Makawao people instruc-
ted their delegate to vote for Iosepa, of
Hama, and p. A. Dias, of Honolulu, as
Representatives.. What the Hama Club
will recommend is a matter of conjec-
ture, inasmuch as they, when last
heard from, were unable to find suita-
BILE men who were willing TO become
candidates.
The probable ticket OF the Maui
Union Party is, Messrs. w. Y. Herner,
III. 2. Baldwin and Mr.. for Sem
atOrs and providing that the Hama
people present no new candidates,
Messrs. A. Pail, S. l.. Kaleikau, and
p. A. Dias.
AS Mr.. Anderson will undoubtedly
refuse to run as Senator there is much
doubt in regard to the nomination of
the third man. 1t is possible that
some citizen of Honolulu will be
| named and endorsed.

The Kaanapali school has been ex-
periencing a difficulty similar to that
| of Ulupalakua. William Soffery, the
| teacher, who was removed for refusing
| to take the oath, has established a
private school and enrolled most of
the pupils formerly under his charge
as Government teacher. There are
forty children in Kaanapali.
The Ulupalakua parents still insist
on paying twice for their children's
| schooling, and only twenty pupils
| have returned to the Government in
| stitution.
On Sunday afternoon, the 23d inst,
| between II and o'clock, a reservoir
| belonging to the Waihee plantation
| burst it's dam, and the water flowed
| downward to the sea. A house be-
longing to David kama was washed
| from its foundations and demolished
| by striking against a mango tree.
| Some taro patches Were also blOtted
| from existence.
However, it is reported that the
sugar company will make good the
damage inflicted, by giving kama
$500 and agreeing to replace the said
| taro patches.
The reservoir was a natural one,
formed by placing dam across ra-
| vine, and was situated short distance
up the mountain, mauka of the plan
tation mule pen.
