amicabe and speedy settlement of the difficulty,
as was also Rep Paehaole.
Representative Kaulukou now made another
motion that " the apology be not accepted but
indefinitely postponed"
Representative Paehaole moved that the ayes
and nays be called on the motion.
President Walker stated that he was somewhat
in quandary 10 regard to what Representative
kaulukou meant.
Representative Dole desired to know what was
intended to be indefinitely postponed.
The President stated that two motions, as pre-
sented by Representative kaulukou, who had

drawal.
Representative Keau desired to Withdraw his

The Attorney General offered as an amendment
+" that the statement made BY Representative
Thurston be not accepted
Representative Dole said that it was rather late
to amend he was sorry TO find the Attorney
General changing his mind, he seemed to be adopt
irC the tactics of the previous day. All the dis
cussiOn which had taken place was ludicrous. The
resolution ordered an apology 10 be made to the
House, that made to the three Ministers was mo-
required nor SO much explanatory matter. beg
had been discussing this matter all day TO Ind
ont whether the presentation by Representative
Thurston was n statement or an apology. He did
not remember a session when the House so easily
stulited itself as this one. To say that the state
meut contained extraneous matter was adj rglt,
but 10 say that it did not contain an apology vas
ridiculous. All the talk seemed as IL the House
va.ifci the charged member TO do something that
they dHrei not ask him to do. II the statement
made by Representative Thurston was improper
why not the Attorney General mfn enough to
sas 50. and why that had been no apology III
any member thought the member for Molekai

sidered that the floor of that House was net the
place where any member had the right to indulged
i'll gross personalities, aud if such thing as try
ing to avoid more OF it was stulIfying he had no
more to say. The reason he desire to amend the
motion of the Representative for Honolulu was
because the House seemed to think was an apollo
gy, while he considered it was not he conceded
the right to attack him the Minister OF finance,
but on the floor of this House right to do so.
The question was not whether the Minister of Fl
nance was intoxicated or not, but whether the
member had right to use such language as he
did.
Representative Aholo did not consider an apollo
gy had been made. Representative Thurston had
made great many remarks explanatory OF his
action, and must have said something sharp, for
he noticed the Ministers we're on the point OF
jumping up. The remarks must have probed
them pretty bard. He did not think that what the
member said was in compliance with the resolu-
ton. he had no personal feeling against the
member for MolOkai II the language had been
used against him he would not have taken any
notice of it.
On vote being taken on the amendment of the
Attorney General, it was declared lost.

ton to accept the apology, with the following
results:
