DISCUSS Hawaii.
Notable Meeting In Bos.
ton on the Subject.
Massachusetts Reform Club Listen
to Captain Julius A.
Palmer.

BOSTON, November 13.-The Hawai-
ian question was discussed at the din
ner of the Massachusetts Reform Club
at Young's. There were about loo
members present, and Edward Atkin-
son presided. Captain Julius Palmer,
formerly secretary to Queen Liliuoka-
lani, and Morfield Story spoke in oppo-
sition to annexation, and Professor Ira
N. Hollis of Harvard University and
Gorham D. Gilman, Consul General OF
Hawaii, in favor of it.
Captain Palmer, who spoke first, |
said: 1--WE do not need Pearl Harbor.
They have ceded Pearl Harbor to us,
but it is of no use. l would like my
naval friends to explain what they call
strategic Importance l cannot see
how, if we were at war with Spain, the
Azores would be an advantage to us.
"The Hawaiian Islands should be
neutral ground = they are neutral
ground at this moment by the guaran-
tee of four great nations. By our treaty
of reciprocity the Islands agreed to al
low no other power to assume a pro-
tectorate. Now, if we propose to as
sumo control in Hawaii we should in
vite all the great powers to a confer
ence. We want not to teach land-get-
ting but to teach the principles of
Christian religion
Morfield Story said that the present
Government in Hawaii was in power
simply through a revolutionary act
| which depended for success on the sup
| port offered by American bayonets.
So far no vote had been cast in the
matter We had no right to steal the
| Islands 1t was said that we needed
the Islands in case of war. The states
men who now threatened our peace
were not of foreign governments The
preachers of war were all to be found
under the dome of our own capitol.
Professor Hollis said: 81 do not be
lieve either that the Sandwich Islands
are governed by a lot of unmitigatet
liars nor do I believe that the United
States is governed by a set of scoun
drels'' The speaker drew a picture o
the inhabitants of the Islands and sail
the Sandwich Islands had come to b
almost part of the United States an
he believed it was for the best interest
of the Islands to be annexed. The onl
salvation of the natives depended upo
us and on us alone.
The discussion was closed by MI
Gilman, who took the ground tina
there was but one solution of the Ha
waiian question, and that was the an
lneXation of the Islands
