Very Iii.

MAUI, August 3C.-Things politi-
cal are getting decidedly warm" on
Maui and there promises to be an ex-
citing time at the nominating conven-
ton to be held at Waikiki court house.
September Sth. The Home Rule party
may be lacking in available men for
leaders on the coming campaign but
the Republican party does not suffer in
indorsing one candidate for represen-
tative, has divided up its delegates
among three-six delegates for j. K.
Iosepa, five for w. P. Haia, and two
for E. NJ. Hanuna.
At Waikiki, Thursday evening, the
2Sth, over hundred Republicans filled
the court house, for there was much
interest in the precinct meeting. After
lively session, during which there
was much throwing of rhetorical "bou
quets," S. Keliinoi was indorsed for
first choice with six delegates and Al
fred Hayselden as second choice with
four delegates. S. Keliinoi is now as
sistant secretary at the Republican
headquarters in Waikiki and Alfred
Hayselden was formerly deputy sheriff
of Waikiki.
There were three candidates before
the meeting, but the friends of J. K.
Kahookele, the surveyor, withdrew his
name in favor of Keliinoi.
AT Handicapped, the same evening,
there was an exciting Republican pre-
cinct meeting in spite of the rain. The
however, was less than a
hundred when two or three hundred
were expected. The result of the in
dorsement of candidates resulted in a
ties. e. Ka1ama receiving forty three
votes and Rev. John Kalino $3.50 the
delegates will be divided between them.
Lahaina will hold it's precinct meeting
tonight. On Molokai the Kalaupapa
precinct has forwarded to the Wailuku
headquarters proxies for
six delegates, all in favor of Joel Ma
kaIeta. The remaining part of Molo-
kali the Pukoo precinct, has not been
heard from as yet.

assimilate the strength from food requires

Danish Nest India Islands Bought.
IT is Said That $1,000, ,o0o Was
the Price Paid.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The treaty of
cession of the Danish West India ISL
ands from Denmark to the United
States was signed at tie state depart
ment today by Secretary Hay and Con
stantine Brun. the Danish minister.
The treaty will be submitted to the
senate for ratification Immediately.
Following the invariable rule in such
cases, the state department officials
decline to make public any of the
details of the treaty, so that it is not
possible to state positively the price
to be paid, though this is believed to
be in the neighborhod of S., 900, 600.
1t is also is known that Denmark has
abandoned the position she was in
clined to occupy toward the conserva-
ton of the political rights of the isl
and, and leaves the United States free
hand to deal with them, without
pledge of American citizenship or of
free trade privileges. So it is as
sumed that the status of the Danish
West India islands, politically and
commercially, should the treaty be
ratified, will be similar to that of
Puerto Rico.
The treaty itself does not contain
any reference to plebiscite, but the
Danish government has given notice
that before it ratifes the treaty, it
will submit the question of cession to
the people Of the islands. EENot much
objection is expected here from these
people, for the treaty is so framed
that they are not called upon to sur
render their Danish allegiance and
they may remian Danes in fact and lin
name while enjoying whatever advan
tages in commercial way may result
from transfer of the islands to the
United States.
