Unfinished business, consideration
of the act to regulate currency in
Committee of the Whole, Mr.. Kau-
lukou in the chair.
The Secretary then read Section |

ders being accepted shall desire to

them from the Treasury, prior to the

post in the Treasury of the Hawa-
iian Government bonds Of like

Mr. Mott Smith moved it pass as
in bill.
Mr.. Dole said, moved yesterday
that the section be indefinitely post
poned, and having slept over it, find
no reason for changing my mind.
Mr.. Hitchcock offered an amend
ment to the section.
Mr.. Bishop said, the Committee
is pretty nearly agreed on most
points, still there is yet a little differ
ence of opinion. move the Commi-
ttee rise and ask to refer the bill to
the Committee having it before. The
amendments could be made better
in the hands Of a Committee.
Everything connected with this bill
should be done carefully.
Mr.. w. O. Smith said, | support
that motion. We can ask advise Of
parties not in the House as well as
| those IN.
Mr.. Mott Smith said, the Commi-
ttee on currency have given great
deal of attention t9 this bill. The
Committee have conferred together
and also asked outside advice. We
have got light enough on this subject
to get this silver turned into gold.
The Hon. Noble then stated three
methods of doing it. He
had no objection to refer it to the
Committee. He had given the mat
ter great deal of attention himself.
Mr.. Bishop said, this is not a
question of intelligence. wish the
Committee to simply take it into
their hands and fix it, so as it will
be satisfactory to the House.
Mr.. w. O. Smith thought Mr..
Hitchcock's amendment ought to
have some consideration.
On vote being called, Mr.. Hitch
cocks amendment was passed, and
the section as amended was passed.
| Section T. The expense, cost and
loss incident to the conversion OF
silver coins into the gold coins OF
the United States shall be borne by
the Treasury, and the Minister OF
Financeis hereby authorized and re-
quired to provide for the same, from
any monies not otherwise appropri-
ated or which may hereafter be ap-
propriated, and he shall render al
accurate statement of such expendi-
ture in his report to the Legislative
Assembly.
