account of labor, but owing to q
combination of circumstances over
which they have no control. Wages
are so low in Europe they cannot
compete with them in the manufac-
ture of sugar, and they consequently
will, eventually, have to stop plant
ing if the German planters can place
sugar in the American market at
a lower price.
The motion to refer the matter to
select committee was carried.
Dredging Of Honolulu harbor, pur-
chase of steam-tug and steam-launch
$3.50, 900.
Minister Gulick said the tug Pele
had been in service for about 27
years, and was now hardly any use
at all. A more powerful vessel is
needed. The item "launch'' is in
tended for towing the mud-scows
about the harbor. A new wharf for
landing cattle is required, and there
is a good deal of dredging to be
done.
Mr.. Wilder said launch to do
the work would cost about S25, 900.
A steam-tug could be built here for
| $4,000. 1t is for the Government
to say how much they want for
dredging purposes. The item passed
as follows:
