REPORT OF COMMITTEE.
The select committee to whom was referred an
Act to license the sale of salmon made their re-
port. which was adopted. The bill passed to en-
grossment. To be read a third time on Satur-
day next.
ORDER OF THE DAY.
Consideration of a resolution of want of Con-
hdence IN the Ministry, in committee of the
whole.
The resolution was read.
MI h Wilcox moved that ii be adopted.
Mr.. Castle moved that it be indefinitely post
poned.
The Minister of Foreign Relations pointed out
that the Hawaiian and English versions of the
resolution differed very materially.
Mr. Aaiua said the resolution was proposed by
a person who was not a member of this House.
de had IL translated and unlimited TO the inter-
prefer. Ii translated correctly or not he thought
1t mattered little. The gist of it was that it is a
want Of confidence in the Ministry.
MI Bishop said IN justice to the interpreter,
tnat ne had pointed out that the last part differ
ed from the English version. He was not shown
the body of the resolution. and furthermore ne
was not the translator of the House. At the
opening OF the session Mr.. Sheldon was appointed
to that post.
The Minister OF Finance said that everything
mentioned IN the resolution had passed, and why
should the House refer to it. Is the spirit of
passed deeds to come back and haunt us. He
could see no good in the resolution, and it was a
waste OF time to discuss it. Referring to the
Coronation bill he said that such a measure had
not been brought to the notice of the Govern
ment, therefore he did not bring forward a bill
to that effect. If one individual thinks one way,
1t Is no reason to find fault with those who think
Inherently. The money loaned to Bishop & Co,
had been referred to, nevertheless his report had
been passed and he had been Unidentified, there
fore why talk of the matter now. If the money
had been stolen, then they might talk about
1t. All that is left to complain about is personal
feeling, simply brought forward by people that
hope the Ministers will resign, and that they
will take their places.
DIR. Gibson said be felt, and as must be evident
to everybody, that the insinuations outside of the
House and also within it, pointed to him, that it
was proper that he should speak now. He sup
ported the resolution. He did not suppose for a
moment that the Ministry would rely on the ver-
bal lnaccuracy in the document, but on facts and
their general position before the Assembly. The
chief count OF this indictment is divided counsels
