THE AMERICAN LEAGUE.
A Large Attendance At Its Open
Meeting Last Evening

The large hall of the American
League was crowded last evening
at the open meeting of that organi-
cation. Every chair in the room
was occupied, and many had to
stand up.
w. n. Armstrong had been in
vited to address the meeting, and
he did, to the great satisfaction of
those present, He spoke about an
hour and was frequently interrupt
ed by applause from his listeners.
On the platform were seated, be-
sides the speaker of the evening,
Ministers King, Damon and Smith,
Marshal Hitchcock and Colonel
Soper, all of whom made short
addresses. Besides these speakers,
Messrs. Magoon, Waterhouse, Mott,
McStocker and several others made
five minute addresses.

All Off for Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Probably
a considerable number of persons
contemplate taking a trip to Homo
lulu at an early day. At present
several young men are said to be in
Washington with the intention of
gaining information that will be
useful. As Americans they are for
a republican form of government in
Hawaii. That interesting spot is
expected to attract tourists and 9TH
ers who would be good citizens and
a valuable addition to the popula-
ton at the present interesting juno
ture of affairs there Should repub-
lie be established, which is not at all
unlikely before long, the country
would present good opening for
enterprising men of some means
and pluck. 1t is thought not un-
likely an infusion of Americanism
of the better kind at the present
moment would be appreciated by
our cousins in the islands.

created ripple of excitement one
day last week. II was just in the
noon hour of an exceptionally calm
day when the alarm was given.
Everyone turned out. The two neigh
boring plantations dropped work, and
managers, lunas and laborers hurried
en- masse to their assistance, an army
on the double quick. Fortunately
the fire was discovered before it made
much headway. And the school as
sisted by the nearest neighbors soon
had the fire under control. The dam
age was slight. The fire was caused
by sparks from the kitchen smoke
stack, and the outcome will probably
be q galvanized iron roof.
The postal authorities are nobly re-
deeming their promise of a better

gin to see that we are a part of the

honors with our President for popu-
larity.

HILo, February 1.-The weather
has been the most plentiful commo-
dity about town during the past ten
days and in fact for the month of
January. The sun is vieing with the
rain fer supremacy and has been dis
tanced in the encounter. tits thought
that the rain guages in this district
will show the biggest monthly record
for two years past.
In spite of the "dull times" people
are moving to town to stay. Mrs. and
DIR. LIE Blonde have taken the lower
story of the "Coney House." and Mr..

Mr.. J. r. Wilson has purchased
four donkeys for the Hawaiian eX-

will help to make things cheerful at
the fair, if the cold weather does not
tame him down.
Mr.. Alexander Young and two
daughters came to town by the last
Kinau, and are guests of Mr.. G. G.
Kennedy. They expect to go to the
volcano next week, and return to
Honolulu by the Hall.

as the result of advertising will begin
to flock to the great wonder. All
speak highly of the trip, and of the
sights in and around the volcano.
The sugar mills of this district are
all in full blast turning out sugar by

SAYS 1T is BETTER.
Ashford Refuses to Talk On Ha.
Waiian Politics.

C. w. Ashford, when asked yes
terday if he could give any news
concerning the Hawaiian matter,
said:
"See here, l have buried one
newspaper man during my trip to
the States, and l don't want to
start another burying ground here.
Just tell the dear public, if they
want to know, that that boil is bet
ter. That is about all | have to
say about politics"
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1894-02-06

KoHALA, Feb. 2.-KOhala is in a
literary mood. The letters of t. II
Davies appertaining unto the politics
of Hawaii are in our midst in PAM
phIet form. They have been scattered
around with lavish hand, and are to
be had without money and without
price and everybody has had look
at them. They have frightened up
our social evenings wonderfully.
When, in spite of frantic efforts to
keep conversation agoing, dead
silence settles down upon an unhappy
company, Mr.. Davies letters divide
with the weather the honOrs of re-
storing the murmur of voices again.
The. & are a very green oasis OF sug-
gestiOn in a desert of talk. Their
thrilling interest never flags, and the
enthusiasm reaches its climax over
that touching Christmas nocturne. A
wise man long ago said, "Oh, that
mine enemy would write n book"
And the AnneXationists seem really
iuoilant over Mr.. Davies timely addi-
ton to our literature.
A literary society has been started
here without any special reference to
Mr.. Davies, and will probably not
discuss his literary efforts just now, as
they are modestly beginning with the
lesser lights. They promise to bright
en- up our long winter evenings with
entertainment and share the hOnors
with the dance. 1t is said that one Of
our most accomplished literary lights
has been elected president. But fuller
particulars will transpire before next
mail, and the public will in due time
be further informed.
The japanese have a strong political
organization in our midst, whose
avowed object is, here as elsewhere,
to secure the Hawaiian franchise for
the subjects of the Mikado. Their
numbers, capabilities and strength
ought not to be moderated by the
Government. They are not inclined
to be aggressive politically. One aim
seems 10 be to learn to speak and
write the English language, for they
recognize that as probable require
ment in obtaining the franchise.
Their methods seem to be slow and
sure, and they offer no ground for i'm
mediate apprehension.
The political situation is the first
subject of interest here still. When a
mail steamer arrives the central tele-
phone men complain that the wires
get hot under the flow of questions.
The feeling of indignation regarding
the parts played by Willis and Mills
is strong, and increasing if possible.
The part played by these emissaries
of the chief executive of the United
States is humiliation TO every Amer
lean on the islands. The feeling here
is that they should be dismissed.
The short crops and the low price
for sugar make the commercial out
look unpromising. But all the mills
are at work, and grinding is going
steadily on. The rains, so long look
ed for, are coming at last. And in
commerce as in politics, We mean 10
fight it out, and win.

THE GERMAN PLAY.
It Attracts Large Audience to
the College.

The entertainment at Punahou
Friday night drew a large audience,
in spite of the uncertainty of the
weather. The piece de resistance
of the evening was the German
play, Singvogelchen, light song
comedy, or Liederspiel, which was
given by pupils of Miss Hasforth.
The caste was as follows:
Nettchen, Blumenhandlerfh ........
..........................Ad Ada r. Whitney
Freidel, Gartnerbursche.........".
........ ......... VIM. r. Castle, Jr
Lord Mickelby.............. Clifton Tracy
Box, sein Kammerdiener..-..-.....
............... ......... $500. VIM. II. Rice
Ort der Handling: Fine Crosse
Stadt.
Decoration: Nettchens Blumen-
Geschaft.
The scene of the play is sup
posed to be somewhere in Germany.
An English lord, faded, wan and
unspeakably weary, as all properly
made English lords are supposed
to be, is annoyed by the musical
propensities of young gardener
and a flower girl, above whom he
lodges. He sets his intellect to
work to stop their noise, first with
coin, then with love, which some
one has told him makes its victims
silent, and finally with jealousy.
The last works. The youthful gar
dener and his beloved flower girl are
visited by jealousy, and squirm in
silence. This is the tragic climax
of the play. Fortunately, remorse
in the bosom of the lord comes to
the rescue of the agonized pair.
Under his immaculate shirtbOsom
this scion of an ancient house feels
what the Germans call conscience
bites" He sallies forth, rushes into
the flower shop, and, as an act of
expiration, he puts the German
language to ten minutes of linger-
ing torture, during which he ex-
plains by what wicked articles he
has planted the seeds of jealousy
in their bosoms. The young couple
catch on, and love spreads his
wings over the reunited pair.
This is not a profound action,
but it has what Aristotle requires
for every dramatic action, "a be-
ginning, middle and end" 1t is
not without humorous opportuni-
ties, which were improved All the
participants acquitted themselves
admirably and the performance
was completed without anything
occurring to mar it. Miss Ada
Whitney and W. R. Castle, Jr., the
two songsters, were warmly re-
ceived, while Clifton Tracy and
VIM. H. Rice, as the lackadaisical
lord and lackadaisical valet, earned
a generous share of appreciation.
The entertainment was closed
with a series of tableaux, entitled,
"a Misft," "The Dream of the
Bride" "Topsy Turvy," "The Wax
ing of the Flowers" "The Declare
tion," and the Gypsy Camp" All
were charming, funny or beauti-
full.
