Nahale, Richardson, Dickey, Kaai, Thurs
ton, Paehaole-1O.
Mr.. HayseIden moved to reconsider the
vote.
Mr.. Dole said he did not blame the mem
bers for shutting off debate, As they were
afraid OF the question. and did not want to
have it discussed. 1t was a cowardly and
contemplate action. This matter OF
revenue cutter was most ignorant one.
The sum OF 500 900 would not be sufficient.
The Minis tiers knew this item was silly and
foolish No arguments had been presented
in its favor. except that it would give the
King Plaything. The next thing will be
to pass an item for a bicycle for His
Majesty.
His ExcelIency Mr.. Gibson said that
Mr.. Dole should be called to order. He
had no right to speak in such an insulting
manner Of His Majesty.
The President said Mr.. Dole wa out OF
order, as His Majesty's name was not be-
fore the House.
Mr.. Dole said he had a right to refer to
it. and should do so. The Minister of the
Interior had used His Majesty's name as
club to beat the members with and he was
sorry to say some had been struck. He
did not intend to use it so, and had too
much respect for the office. This item was
for pIaything for the King, and il was
absurd and ridiculous to ask the Repre-
sentatives to vote the amount for play
thing. 1t was an insult to the intelligence
OF the House. The Ministers had been
told to do it. They should have said to
His Majesty that they could not ask the
House to vote for this item. and the King
would have respected them.
Mr.. Palohau spoke in favor of the item.
The motion to reconsider was put and
lost.
QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.
Dr. Wight said he rose to a question of
privilege. During an unavoidable absence
of twenty minutes this morning he found
that the Opium bill had come up and been
referred to a committee. He wished to go
on record as voting against the bill. 1t
was very cowardly thing to close up dis
cussion on the bill by moving the previous
question He asked that his name be
placed on record as opposed to the Opium
bill
Mr.. Hayselden said the bill had been re-
ferred to a committee. W nen IL was re-
ported back it could be discussed.
RUNNING EXPENSES OF GOVERNMENT VESSEL.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson moved to in
sert in the Appropriation bill Running
expenses of Government steamer, $50 900.
He would not take up any of the time OF
the House to discuss the matter. Mr..
Dole had said this matter was forced upon
the Ministers. He denied any such state
ment 1t had been brought up and con-
suited by the Ministers and they would
take the entire responsibility on their own
shoulders.
Mr. Thurston said that of course this
item would be passed. If anyone could
stomach man-of-war at 100000 they
could swallow this item too. He moved
the ayes and noes be taken. Agreed to.
