He had, however, been closely en-
gagged in legislative work, and it was
possible that Oh further opportunity

views with regard to the Superinten-

following report from the commit
tee:--
Hon. j. S. WALKER, President of
Legislative Assembly. SIR Your
committee on commerce to whom
was referred the bill entitled, "An
Act to Promote Mail Communica-
ton between the Hawaiian Islands
and the United States of America"
introduced by Hon. j. Nj. Kapena,
have had said bill under considera-
tion, and beg leave to report, that
the mail service, and steam COM
munication, in furtherance of which
the proposed subsidy is to he al
lowed have become an actual neces-
| sity to the commerce, and other
beneficial interests of the islands.
The geographical situation of the
Hawaiian Islands requires the build
ing up, fostering and maintaining of
! first-class steam communication with
the United States and other coun-
tries. The steamship lines by
which such communication is main
tained are to us what railroads are
to other countries.
To abandon the advantages so
far gained, by the establishment of
a direct steamship line between Ho-
nolulu and San Francisco would be
a serious mistake in the opinion of
your committee. Such course
would remove the Kingdom from the
worlds highways of commerce and
travel, and retard the prosperity of
! the nation indefinitely.
With this in view, your committee
respectfully submit to the Legisla-
tive Assembly, substitute embody-
ing specifically the condition under
which the subsidy should be granted
for the bill originally introduced, and
recommend the passage of said sub
slitute bill.
