The House met at 10 a, NJ.

Mr.. AhOlo moved q resolution
that Gov. Domiuis be a committee
of one TO wait on His Majesty and
inform hlm that the House would
not be ready for propagation on
Saturday at II o'clock as arranged,
and request him to prorogue the
Legislature on Tuesday, the 26th
inst, at II o'clock, or such time rs
pleased His Majesty. Carried.
Mr. Aholo moved that the pay of
the Interpreter and Secretary of the
Assembly for the session be fixed at
SIP day for each. Carried over
amendments to divide the items and
to fix the pay at $40.
On mo-ion of MIR. Bishop, the
bill relating TO tuition fees in Gov
ernment Schools was taken up. 1t
provides that parents sending three
children to primary schools shall be
exempt from fees, also contract
laborers getting no more than $40 a
month and other parents too poor to
pay fees, and fixes the fees payable
in certain higher schools.
Mr.. Bishop said both the Board
Of Education and its Secretary had
been consulted in preparing the
bill, and he hoped the Assembly
would give it trial for two years.
He moved it pass to engrossment,
which carried. and the third reading
was ordered for Saturday.
An Act TO amend the Penal Code,
in relation to the registration of
births, marriages and deaths, was
read q third time and passed.
An Act to authorize w. r. Austin
and associates to construct and
operate q street railway in Homo
lulu was read a third time and
passed.
The third reading of the Appro-
priation Bill was resumed.'
Mr.. Kaulukou moved to reconsider
thc item for immigration, when the
point of order was raised that the
question having been once recon-
sidered could not be again. Dis
cussion showing that it was doubtful
if the question was reconsidered,
the motion was admitted and carried.
Mr. j. Mott Smith deprecated the
attempt TO al,cr what had been set
tied after great deal Of talk. 1t
puzzled him to know what was the
influence that brought this matter
before The House again. 1t did not
appear TO emlnate from the Govern
ment, which he noticed did not vote
for reconsideration. Neither did il
come from the leaders of the Oppo-
sition, and there ought to be some
reason founded on fact or common
sea@e TO- the proposal. The gentle
man who came from Japan was given
assurance that the agreement would
he carried out, and while he did not
know if it was reduced to writing,
yet he considered it amounted to
Il virtual contract with the Govern
ment. Many who voted for recon-
sidcratiyn had voted for the con-
ditons of this item, and if they
had any desire for consistency they
would not he so shifting their
votes. If the House went back on
those words it would be almost a
breach Of contract. These words
were put in at the request of the
Minister of the Interior, who said
that they were not sure of Japanese
immigration and wanted provision
made for the other in case that
should fail. Otherwise the item
would have passed for japanese
immigration solely and alone. The
effect Of the Minister of Interior s
remarks was that the House voted
$500, ,O0o' for japanese immigration,
but if that fails it can be used for
Portuguese immigration, and there
was no necessity for changing that
decision,
Hoasc took q recess from 1915
TO 1880.
Upon rc-assembling, the House
resumed the third reading of the
Appropriation Bill. Mr.. Kaulukou's s
motion TO change the item for immi-
grafton was further discussed.
Mr., Macfarlanc SUMMARIZED the
