SO 500 be appropriated for them for thu
; same object. The committee have haC
the petitions under consideration, anC
made inquiries of the officers of the differ

of 2rms and accoutrements, and it is neces

of fixed ammunition, and what few cut

| have had since the time of Kamehameha
| ". The same company is without PTS

ought to have. The appropriation made

| ments.
