stables had been Constructed BY the Kameha-
mehls " and V, At their own EXPENSE. and
eventually purchased by the Gorernneus a. a
valuation. He considered it would probably
be Eacre satisfactory to have the itets referred
to i Select Committee and made motion to
that effect
Representative Smith moved the item be IN
definitely postponed He tAeasht the Royal
horses could get along very well with present
Recommendations for twu years.
Representative Hitchcock, (indisuaalll } the
Minister'S brought in i few DAYS a,c, certain
reductions IN the Appropriation Bill, yet they
bad voted for every increase that had been
made. and she large sums now appropriated fer
rUads and bridges was aided by their actions.

for His MAJESTY horses. II this Is the economy
that they we're to practice be could not see bat
that The communication on that subject WAS =
arre. as His Majesty Ministers in defiance Of

creases right straight along.
The MinisSer Of Finance SPOKE IN favor Of
the item.
Representative Dole said. this proposition
coming frum the Ministry cumpel the members
= rise against the Ministry The conduct Of
the Minister Cf Interior shows the farce that
IS being enacted. On every motion he has voted
for increased expenditures until the total is
large- The conduct Of the Ministry Is extra
ordinary, and in direct opposition to the de-
clIred policy Of the King. There WIS no coz
sistency, 10 dscency, no moral courage in this
Ministry. They did net show the least desire
10 curtIiI expenditure. Although they bad
made i few reductions, their actions in the
House showed that they did not mean busi-
ness. They had compelled HIS Majesty to

heads Of the Ministers. Should the House
allow ihem To 20 on until His Majesty was
compelled 70 send another message over their

going On The Minister CT Finance had made
some humane remarks about the King horses.

remained IN Office be well knew that the horses
palace would be built and ruals and bridges
would be neglected The speaker proposed To
carry cut the Kings policy These people
lid not represent the King and they knew il,
aud the King did not want this. The present
state Of the country vas iH0pportlne for such
an expenditure. He opposed the item
