are not the only things to be done
We must be very careful. 1t must be
remembered that 1t was because they
changed the constitution under the
Queen that we had trouble and finally
lost our country" Upon these words
showing that the president was noi
going to stand by the agreement Sc
solemnly entered into, there was great
disorder and there were cries for the
motion. which was that OF the Laie
| women to lay the constitution on the
| table.
Even yet John Wise would not ad-
/ NIT defeat for the plan for harmony.
Again he rose to declare that the fire
must not be permitted to blaze and TO
insist that the purpose of the new con-
stitution was to build up the party.
; He said everything was in the power
| of the president, but he made little
/ impression. Caypless proposed an
amendment, that the president must is
sue a call five days in advance of the
date for the election of the committee
men, but this did not divert attention.
Palau added to the flame by saying
that the constitution was brought in
by a number of little kids. and if the
convention would continue TO work
with it there would come out of IL a
snake Oil, however, made diversion
by asking for the reading of the entire
document, and this gave time for a
clearing of the atmosphere.
That it was ineffective was shown by
the speech of Mrs. Anakou. She want
ed the whole thing laid on the table.
She cOntended that to reduce the ex-
ecutive committee from sixty-five 10
thirty was too great a cutting down.
The thirty. she said. only wanted TO
run the party. She was greatly ex-
cited at times, and there were some
hot interchanges during her remarks.
Senator Kaohi of Hawaii said that ne
had the constitution of 1900 and it was
sufficient for the party. He read much
OF it and added: This holds good
while the other will not hold water. I
uphold my sister who moves to lay on
the table, and the sooner We do this
the better it will be-" Amid chorus
OF cheers, not single man the other
side objecting, as they had determined
that at least they would keep faith
the motion to lay on the table was
passed and with a flourish the docu-
ment was laid aside by the presiding
officer
Then it was that Prince Cupid rose
for the first time during the session Of
the convention. He was quiet and self
contained. but spoke with deep en-
phasis. His words were addressed to
President Kalauokalani and he was lis
tened to with attention. He said:
THE CHARGE OF TREACHERY.
Last night at midnight you came 70
me and shook hands and said that
there was to be no more III feeling be-
tween US. We arrived at a conclusion
as to our differences concerning the
new constitution. and mutually agreed
to throw aside all i'll feeling and work
together. Now you bring this matter
Up once more. / want to say 70 our
older men that we are proud OF them.
md do not want 10 take from them any ,
IF the honor which is theirs and has ,
been won for them by their iabors.
From now on 1 split away from your
side. 1 will resign from the Home Rule
party and never more viii 1 be con- (
lected with IT. 1 have been laboring ,
or the rights Of the people that they =
nay have the power in their own
lands"
Concluding. Prince Cupid walked out i
# the convention, followed by the ,
-oung men IN a line which extended at :
