RESOLUTIONS.
The Hon. Mr.. Gibson offered a resolution
that the Minister of Foreign Affairs be author
ised to lay before the Assembly any information
received by the Government in relation to the
project of laying a Pacific Ocean telegraphic
cable via this archi pelago and also in relation to
the laying of an inter-island telegraphic marine
cable.
The Honorable Member said that this, and
other scientific subjects deserve the considera-
ton of the Assembly. If we had a wire con-
nection between the Islands and America, we
should be able to furnish information the in
slant the volcano was in a state of eruption,
and many would visit our Islands if they could
have instantaneous communication with their
friends in other parts of the world. Inter-is-
land communication with the Capital was also
a necessity-and he might say that this was
the only civilized place in the world that did
not possess the means of telegraphy with other
parts. He also said it might perhaps be too
costly an undertaking for this Government, but
we might induce others to take upon them
selves the task of so doing. Referred to FL
nancial Committee.
A bill was read for the first time to amend
Sections, 1410, I4Il, 14l9, 1920 and 142l of
the Civil Code, relating to masters and SER
wants. Referred to Committee on Revision.

and Fridays be set apart for consideration of
the Appropriation Bill was indefinitely post
poned.
Notice was given of the introduction of a bill
entitled an act to repeal Sections 48l and 497,
Civil Code.
That the Minister of the Interior furnish a
list of Government lands.
His Elk. the Minister of the Interior replied
that only by a survey of the whole country
could a correct account of the whole extent of
Government lands be ascertained.
He said he was constantly finding patches
that were Government lands, but at present it
was impossible to give a different list from that
furnished in his report. On completion of the
projected survey he would be able to give u
correct list.
Notice was given of the introduction of an act
to regulate Contracts.
$4,000 was asked for a market IN Lahaina.
The Minister of the Interior SAID it was in
cluded in his estimates, also markets for Hilo
and Waikiki. $1,000 for charging wharf at
Kaalualu, Hawaii, was also estimated for.
a resolution that the salary of the Governor
of Kauai be increased to So 900 was to be
considered with the Appropriation Bill.
The Hon. Noble said that with all Difference
to the feelings of the Honorable Member who
was prompted to bring forward this resolution,
he must demur to the salary being raised in the
manner proposed, and would prefer to see the
item as 1t is now in the Bill.
Though the position of Governors was alike
in his mind, the request for an increase of
salary in the form of a resolution was not COM
patible to his feelings.
