OVER FOR a MONTH.
Associated Charities Postponed their
Work Until May 25th

At the meeting of the Associated
Charities of Hawaii held in the Safe
Deposit building yesterday it was
found that thirteen delegates favored
the project, three were opposed to it,,
and three were indifferent about join
ing.
1t was apparent that some of the So
cieties misunderstood the objects of
the new central organization. For this
reason, and to give ample time for
consideration, President Dole suggest
ed that further business go over until
May 25th, when another meeting will
be held. This plan was adopted. The
following societies were presented at
the meeting:
Free kindergarten Society, Ladies'
Charitable Association, Catholic Be
nevolent Society, Hawaiian Relief So
ciety, Hospital Flower Society, Ladies'
Society of Central Union Church, the
Strangers Friend Society, American
Relief Fund and the japanese Benevo-
lent Society.

Speaker Reed Way Not Be
Out of 1t.

Ter is a possibility tAat Speaker
Reed may not resign his seat In Con
gress. He has not yet sent in his res
ignation to the Governor of Maine,
Those who have talked with him
since he arrived from Europe are led
~ believe that his brief absence from
the country has strengthened and
deepened the opposition to the McKin-
ley policy of Imperialism whicn he
felt but did not publicly express last
winter. The Speaker regards the PHIL
ipplne campaign as an iniquity, con-
trary to American principles and prec-
edents, unnecessary and hurtful.
Speaking as a Republican he thinks
The colonlzing and empire building
business will in the long run be mighty
bad policy for the party, and we are
only in the beginning of 1t now, he
says.
A Republican of National reputa-
ton, who was one OF the managers of
Reeds canvass for the Presidential
nomination in 1896, said that when the
time came he believed thatMr. Reed
would be persuaded to stay in Con
gress and help straighten out of the
problem of the colonies
Mr.. Reed himself will not say word
aOout his plans, except that he is not
ready to settle down in New York yet
that his vacation is not ended
1t will be possible for Mr.. Reed to
retain his seat in Congress and begin
yhe practice of law here at the same
time.
The Republicans, in agreeing to sup
port henderson for Speaker, have in
dictated that they have taken it for
granted Mr.. Reed does not want to be
Speaker again, but they do admit they
would feel easier if his resignation
were filed.
They know he is not in sympathy
with die Presidential policy, and has
told friends he is not in favor of eX-
pansion nor in sympathy with the war
in the Philippines.
If he remained in Congress and as
sumed an attitude in opposition to
the policy of che President Republi-
cans say he could bring about most
serious complications and block the
plans of the Administration, so far as
securing legislation is concerned
