NATIVES LISTEN
The d" Anti " Commission
Reports to a Meeting.
kaulia Tells of the Visit to Wash
ington-People They Met-Infiu-
ence of Senator'S Wives.

The announcement that there would
be a mass meeting Of natives on Palace
Square last night to hear the reports of
Messrs. Aud, Kaulia and KalanOkalani,
three of the Hawaiians sent TO Wash
ington to oppose the passage of the an
nexation treaty, drew forth crowd Of
between 400 and 500 natives.
The speakers Of the evening were
seated in the lookout of the old Gibson
premises. In front and to The right
and left of them were torch lights. The
meeting was opened with three hearty
cheers.
w. Aud, the secretary Of the Hawai-
ian Commission was the first to take
the stand. He simply read some of the
minutes of the proceedings at Wash
ington and then gave way to the prin-
cipal speaker of the evening, J. K. Kau-
liza, president of the Aloha Alma Socie-
ty. who opened his remarks with a
hearty aloha oukou pau loa." Mr..
Kaulia went on to say that the dele
gates to Washington had gone for the
good Of the country and the people.
All differences existing between the
various members were set aside in the
determination to work toward one COM
mon end-the defeat Of annexation. A
visit was paid to the eX-Queen immedi-
ately upon arrival in Washington and
the objects Of the visit of the delegates
were explained John Richardson was
chosen spokesman.
In a conversation with Senator Da-
Wis of the Foreign Relations Committee,
that man said he had been working for
annexation for the last five years and
during all that time there had not been
sent single Hawaiian to Washington
to tell of how the native people consid-
cred the matter.
The women in Washington have
helped great deal toward the defeat
of annexation. The wives of several of
the Senators had been seen. The story
of the overthrow of the Monarchy and
the attitude of the Hawaiian people
was told them. Some of them promised
to use all the influence in their power
to make their husbands vote against
annexation and from the reports in
various newspapers they succeeded.
Mr.. Kaulia then outlined the call on
Senator Hoar and the fear and trembl-
ing the delegates were in when they
approached his house.
In closing, Mr.. Kaulia said annexa-
ton was dead.
Kalauokalani, president of the Hui
Kalai Alma was the last speaker. His
remarks were not so full of information
as those of Mr.. Kaulia His aim seem
ed to be toward making the audience
laugh This he did admirably.
In closing, he produced a letter from
Washington, received on the China,
stating that the annexation treaty had
been killed. At this there was a great
cheer from the people present. After
dwelling on a few more facts, Kalauo-
kalani finished his discourse and the
meeting was at an end.

First item of fresh Importance concerns

finally the spotted goods. You may object

might as well try TO crush out the sun

Spots are regnant and have broken forth
everywhere. Silks, velvets, satins cloths
fiannels, chiffons. even bridal wells, are
spotted. Not all spots are round, how
ever; TO alleviate any danger of monotony
we have birds eye or oval spots and pas
tile spots, these last raised from the

cones.
