The House reassembled at 1 40 O'Clock
Consideration of the Appropriation bill
in Committee, Hon. A S. Cleghorn in tn,
Chair.
/ BUREAU OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
Salary of Superintendent of Public
Works and Civil Engineer, $4,000.
| Mr.. Cecil Brown moved it pass at Sc. 900
/ The present incumbent spent a great deal
OF his time attending to private work. Ii
! the Government pays him it is entitled to
| every bit of his time
His Excellency Mr.. Kapena said thew
should vote the salary for the office, and
not for the man. He moved the item pass
as in the bill
! Mr.. keau was in favor of the reduction.
| A man was wanted to attend to his bust
! ness, and not go trotting around on private
! business
Mr.. Kaulukou moved the item pass az
in the revised estimate, 81, 600 Appropri-
ations should be made for the office. and
not for the man. The present incumbent
might leave tomorrow.
Mr.. Paiohau moved it pass at $1,000.
The Government had secured the services
of a very competent engineer His visit to
Kauai proved to the honorable member he
fully understood bridge building, an d is a
good man.
His Excellency Mr.. Gulick deprecated
very much the idea of personal appropria-
tons. 1t was prejudicial to public interest.
In careful consideration of duties to be
performed, it was deemed advisable that
the chiefs of certain bureaus under the In
terror Department should stand on an
equal footing. This standard of salary
was based on the duties to be performed |
but had no reference to the individuals
called upon TO fill those offices. With re-
gard to the Superintendent of Public /
Works, those who have followed the work /
in this department will see the work done |
and planned ont is far in excess of any
thing of previous experience. In this par
ticular office there is at the present time
a competent person. If a change was
made in the near future an equally compe-
tent person would have to be employed.
No appropriation was made for the indi-
vidual, but for the office
Mr. Dickey thought this was a good
place TO retrench. TheiPfirst duty was to
feed themselves, and then to keep the
Government machine going. After that it
was time to build new houses Not only
Is the Government poor, but it had back
debts. There is scarcely department in
the Government but what had back debts.
and were being pressed for them all the
time. He would make some exceptions.
Bonds became due and could not be met.
He moved the item be stricken out.
His Excellency Mr.. Gulick said that only
during the last seventy hours the indi-
yidual who occupies the Office in question
had been occupied in trying TO save little
steamer belonging to two Hawaiian bows,
who were trying to earn an honest living
He (Mr. Gulick) asked the Superintendent

WASHINGTON, Sept 2S.-Lieutenant
Commander Il. E. Nichols. commanding
the United States steamship Pinta, in re-
port to the secretary of the navy. dated Sitka,
Sept. 10, says the Pinta returned the day
before from trip to Yakutat after the
Schwatka exploring expedition. The party
was found at Yakutat and all its members
were well. They were all able to ascend
Mt. st. Elias. only 1900 feet, and the most
experienced of the hardy consider it impos-
sible to reach the top. Commander Nichols
says special grand jury has been sitting
during the past week. Attempts were
made to procure indictments against the
ringleaderS of the Chinese trouble at Juneau,
but no evidence could be obtained and no
indictments were found. The captains and
mates of the remaining English schooners
were tried for the illegal taking of seal in
Behring sea. They were found guilty and
sentenced to short Imprisonment. All
their vessels have been lbelled. Appeals
will probably be taken in all their cases.

giving the producer surplus of 10 per
cent. over the decline. the producer to do
all the work of driving in the
cattle, so that the business is done
without risk to De Mores' company.
The cattle are then sent direct through to
the New York and Baltimore markets.
where the meat is retailed by the company
in the different Shops thus doing away
with the mddleman at ChicagO-the whole

Northwest have been shipped. This is
what Armour objects to, and how it makes
inrOadS into the monopoly of the Chicago
market is apparent. This explains why
the Chicago men inspired the boycott
against De Mores in New York. The COM

night broke up in row, which
resulted in the death of George Shannon.
At about 10 o'clock in the evening Owens
proposed collection be taken up among

pay the musicians. When the hat arrived
before Shannon he refused to contribute

struck Shannon.
