Hon. member Palahao gave notice
of his intention to introduce bill

Hon, member Richardson from
Wailuka moved the
ORDER OF THE DAY.
Upon motion of Hon. member
Castle the bill was read by its title and
the House went into Committee of the
Whole to consider the bill item by
item, Hon. Noble Wilder in the
Chair.
The items on the Civil List were
passed as in the bill as follows:
His Maesty's Privy Purse and Royal
State. ...,.,.............,.. $50, ,ooo
| Her Majesty the Queen. ............ 5000
II. R IL. the Heir Presumptive. go. 10000
Fl. R. II. Princess Likelike. ..... $4,000
II. r. IL. Princess ,Kaiulani ....... 5000
His Majesty's Chamberlain and
Secretary observation-disclosures. 1000
| Household Expenses. ...... 10000
Amounting in all to $I26,ooo. All OF
the above items were proposed to be
reduced by Hon. members Dole,
Dickey and Castle. Hon. member
Dole thought that $4,000 would be
sufficient for His Majesty the King,
At the last session His Majesty re-
quested the Assembly to practice
economy in their expenditures com
mencing with himself This Assembly
has not received such an intimation
this session, but the Hon. member had
no reason to believe His Majesty had
changed his mind since then. With
the amounts needed for rebuilding the
burnt district in Honolulu and paying
damages for land taken for new streets,
for enlarging the water pipes and other
extra items, the already large Appro-
priation Bill would be increased, prob
ably, by million dollars. The Hon,
member thought that the Assembly
might logically and legally propose a
reduction in the amount for His Maj
esty's Privy Purse and Royal State.
In reference to the amount of $I6,-
600 put down in the bill for Her Ma
jesty the Queen, the Hon member
thought that it was shameful to vote a
larger salary for member of the Roy
al Family than was paid to the Chan
cellor of the Kingdom, who stood next
the King in rank and dignity He
thought $I2, 900 was sufficient
Hon. member Castle opposed the
items of $4,000 and $1,000 for Prin-
cess Likelike and Princess Kaiulani.
He was aware that the English Par
lament voted sums of money for a
large number of the royal family, but
he did not believe we were called up
on to make allowances for all the Roy
al Family. He would challenge any
one to show good reasons why these
items of $4,000 and $1,000 should
not be struck out
Hon. member Dickey moved to re-
duce the item for Chamberlain and
Secretary to $4,000. Hon member
Nahale amended to $4,000
Upon consideration Of the item OF
$a,oo Household Expenses elected
considerable discussion. Hon. mem
Der Castle asked for information con-
cerning the item. He supposed the
Kings Chamberlain was the proper
person 10 give the information. Re
ceiving no reply, the Hon. member
made motion that the item be passed
by for the present, This motion be-
ing defeated, the Hon. member then
asked whether this item included the
support of hangers-on about the Pal
ace.
His Excellency the Minister of For
eign Affairs said though the matter OF
disbursements for the Royal household
did not come within the province Of
