THE LEAGUE TOOK ACTION.
II Holds a Session on the j. a.
Magoon Letter.
Determining the Clubs Position--I he
Attorneys Printed Views at Vari-
ance--AnnexatIon the Idea.

One of the mi-occasional serious"
meetings was held by the American
League last night. 1t lasted till 10
o'clock, and was attended by about
forty members. SO much will be said
about the affair that it is perhaps we'll
to thus early publish a correct YER
sion.
At the last regular convention the
secretary was instructed to request j.
A. Magoon to tell the League if cor
respondence signed by him in a local
paper was authentic. Mr.. Magoon
answered that he had written the let
ter. Did it correctly express his
views? 1t did, he said. Did he con-
slider holding such an opinion compa-
tibIe with membership in the Ameri-
can Lacquer Mr.. Magoon said he
failed to observe any Inconsistency.
His idea had been that the League
was formed to advocate annexation or
to secure for the islands a stable gov
eminent. He considered the Repub-
lie a stable and satisfactory form OF
government.
By majority vote the League held
that it was an annexation organiZa-
ton, and that Mr.. Magoon was an
anti-annexationist. This action reau
him out of the League.
The proceedings were marked by
expressions of confidence In MI.
Magoon's manhood and honesty
and by tolerance for his opinion. The
League believes in the Republic and
is for it and with it and will stand by
it through thick and thin. Its deyo-
ton to the Republic is only exceeded
by its devotion to the political pr1ncl-
pie of annexation. These are the
views expressed by those who on ac-
count of Mr.. MagOon's agreeable per-
sonaIity reluctantly took issue with
him. 1t was felt that a single MEM
Der of the League opposed to the con-
slant advocacy of annexation was out
of place. One speaker claimed that
such an element would be a menace
to the Republic.
Mr.. Magoon's letter on annexation
was printed some days before election
and brought out no end of comment.

Reed Gets on n Characteristic Remark
Hutchinson's Reply.
Then Reed contended that the motion to
reconsider under the rules took precedence
OF all motions. IL trust" said he sarcas-
tically, that out of the wreck of parlia-
mentary worlds some few presidents will
be saved" Richardson, who was in the
chair at time, directed the clerk to read
the resolution, which proved to be reso-
luton revoking all leaves of absence ex-
cept on account of sickness and directing
the sergeant-at-arms to request the atten-
dance of some absentees by telegraph
Both Reed and Bouteile jumped to their
feet when the reading of the resolution
was completed and made the point of or
der that 1t did not take precedence of a
motion to reconsider. Catchings argued
that the adoption of his resolution would
terminate further proceedings under the
call, and must therefore take precedence
of motion to reconsider a vote which
was a part of such proceedings.
Reed taunted the Democratic side, with
its 100 majority, with being powerless to
transact business without smashing every
rule of parliamentary law. When he sat
down Hutchinson of Texas, evidently
smarting under the sting of the eX-speak
