There has been no open rupture between the rival
political organizations since the last mail week
ago: but ll-feeng is growing rapidly The Gov
crnment, which has been carried on for more
than a year by a small party, and which has
filled all vacancies from among its own members
has aroused such hostility that a change must
be made in the way OF larger representation or
there will be so serious detection that It's
power cannot be maintained.
The Annexation Club called meeting for the
election Of a candidate for the Advisory Coun-
ell but the members of the American League
who belong to the club packed the meeting and
chose their man. ID. b. Smith. The Annexation
Club has appointed a committee to draft plat
form for permanent organization Of all those
who believe in representative government Be
fore the end Of the month IL is expected To have
strong and well-eQuipped party organization
represented by district clubs throughout the
islands. which will be ready to elect delegates
to the constitutional and nominating convention

are over half Of the l.200 white men who are
opposed to any return OF monarchy. no matter
how much reformed ii may be.
