bCucIu anu GuuJ uC communicate
with the American Minister.
Mr.. Frank Brown said he was the
author of the resolution, and that
his motive had been to ascertain the
origin of all those orders that had
been appearing in the papers. He
would not have introduced such a
resolution had he thought it would
do any damage to our relations with
the United States. From the eX-
PLANTATION of the Attorney-General,
however, it appeared such was likely
to be its effect, and a talk he had
that morning with the United States
Minister had confirmed that view.
Minister Neumann thought the
proper way would be to lay the
resolution on the table, and then
some arrangement might be come to
without treading on anybody's toes.
Mr.. Aholo withdrew his motion.
Mr.. Kalua's motion was carried.
Mr.. Dole obtained n suspension
of the rules to move a resolution
that the Minister of Foreign Affairs
be authorized to confer with the
American Minister and endeavor to
obtain an arrangement to have the
gold order postponed until Sept. 1st.
Mr.. j. Mott Smith disagreed with
the resolution entirely, and did not
think it was desirable for the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs to confer with
the American Minister with regard
to the application of our own law.
He disagreed entirely with the
American Minister'S view, and
thought that he had no occasion to
interfere with our Interpretation of
our own laws or how they should be
applied. The whole question was,
as the Attorney-General said, the
mere purpose of preserving amicable
relations. He did not believe that,
by any process of arithmetic or COM
putation the American Minister could
arrive at the conclusion that the non
enforcement of the rule is causing
hardship to the interests of the
United States. Great Britain had
just as much cause to complain, and
he believed there was nothing in the
whole business.
Minister Neumann spoke to re-
move what he considered a wrong
impression of the last speaker.
The individual opinion of the Ameri-
can Minister had not been consulted,
but after his action in protesting
against delay in paying gold had
been ratified by his Government, it
seemed to be an unfriendly act for
this House to pass the resolution of
yesterday.
Mr.. Dole's resolution was put and
lost.
An Act to regulate proceedings in
bankruptcy was on motion read a
second time by its title and referred
to the Judiciary Committee.
An Act to provide for the recovery
of stolen property was read a second
time and referred to the Judiciary
Committee.
The House then went into Com
mittee of the Whole, Mr.. Cleghorn
in the chair, for the consideration of
anAct relating to Justices of the
Supreme Court. Among other things
it provides for two additional Asso-
ciate Justices.
Mr.. KaIua moved the indefinite
postponement of the bill.
Mr.. Dole moved that the first
section of the bill pass. He said he
would prefer to economize in palace
stables than in the interests of JUS
tice. 1t had been the opinion of the
Judiciary Committee that the courts
would be strengthened and the
public interests advanced by an in
crease of judges. Almost the whole
bar of Honolulu supported them in
that view. He referred at length to
the inconvenience and loss sustained
by the public from the laws delays
occasioned by the necessity of the
judges going out of the country upon
their necessary vacation tour, and
also from the judges not having time
in very many cases to properly
