than expected and as soon as the mo
ton to postpone the consideration II
the constitution and bylaws had been
carried, the Prince arose in very
dignitied manner, called for silence,
and said in a few brief words, as pub
lished in the Bulletin extra yesterday,
that IL was his intention to leave the
convention with the Home Rule party
He, the Delegate and senator Kalauo
kalan had shaken hands on the mat
ter of the constitution and bylaws
and both these men had broken faith
with him. He did not care any longer
to affiliate himself with n party in
which such men were at the head. lie
would leave the party forever
AS quietly as he had risen to his feet
the young Hawaiian Prince took his
hat and walked out of the Orpheum,
looking neither to one side nor the
other. He did not even cast a glance
in the direction of his followers, but
kept on out Of the hallway and down
the street.
Notwithstanding this fact, the major
part of his followers in the convention,
among the leaders being John Wise
Carlos Long, David Ewaliko, Repre-

excitement had reached such a pitch

Finally Senator Kanuha gave up in dis.

others out of the theater.
Senator Kalauokalani soon had the
ears of the members of the conven
ton. In prefacipg his remarks, h.
told all those who wanted to 80 to do
so at once. There were some impor
tant matters to be considered, and the
sooner they were attended to the bet
ter. Let those who mad left the hall &c
ii they wanted to. Those who remain
ed should sick together 1t would moi
do to believe what other people should
tell them. particularly the ones who
had left the hall.
The speaker again rang the changes
on the fact that the members of the
party were poor. but that they SHOULD
have love of their country in thei
breasts. The people who had left thu
hall were trying to bounce the olde
element so that they might have ev
,erything their own way.
At the conclusion of these remarks
there were cheers and then cries 10
