| The two reports were laid on the table
to be considered with the bill.
REVISED ESTIMATES.
His Excellency Mr. Gibson presented re-
vised estimates of expenditures as follows
Hon. J. S. Walker, President Legisla-
tive Assembly-Mr. President: By com
mand of His Majesty the King, and in
compliance with the assurance given to
this honorable Assembly on the 21st in
slant, l have the honor to submit, ON be-
half of His Majesty's Government, the re-
duced estimates of the Appropriation bill
in the following schedule, and to recon-
mend to this honorable Assembly to vote
the estimates as so reduced
The reduction amounts to S197, $40.
His Excellency said that it would be
proper to remark that the item Guards to
Government buildings and jaiIs, $40, 900"
had been withdrawn from the Department
of Foreign Affairs and transferred to the
Interior Department, so that the reduction
was really $1S7 $40 In addition to the
statement presented, he would say that
Ministers hoped the Assembly would
carry out the recommendations that had
been made at His Majesty's desire His
Majesty had offered reduction of $4,000
from his own salary as King. He in
tends to make an offering of that amount
to the country. The Ministers had made
reductions in their own salaries, and also
other reductions which he hoped would be
carried into effect by the Assembly.
Mr.. Kalua moved that the House accept
the report and that it be made a special
order of the day for Friday. He entirely
agreed with it, and was sure His Majesty
had made the request in good faith. 1t
was no new idea that had struck His Mai
esty. 1t had been in his mind for a num-
Der of years past. In 1884 His Majesty
sent similar recommendation but it was
not acted upon, and his recollection was
that those most responsible for nOn-com-
pliance with the Kings request were Min
listers themselves.
Mr.. KaulukOu agreed with the accept !
ance of the report, but they could not con-
slider it all on Friday. Those items already |
passed could only be changed when the |
bill came up for third |
reading. He moved the report be accepted |
and considered with the Appropriation
bill
The latter motion was carried.
SPECIAL ORDER PASSED.
Mr.. Richardson moved that the special
order for to-day, consideration of the Ap-
bill, be passed, and the House
take up the regular order. Agreed to.
RESTRICTING PRINTING.
Mr.. Kaai offered a resolution that from
and after to-day no Act be printed without
she order of the House. Carried.
CITIZENS By DERIVATION.
Mr.. Kalua presented resolution to the
Effect that the Minister of Foreign Affairs
export in writing before Saturday list of
names of those who have become citizens
~ receiving letters of denization from 1880
o the present time; also to give the dates
when they became subjects. Carried
LETTER FROM THE HON. H. NJ. WHITNEY.
The President announced that he had re-
eived communication from Mr.. H. NJ.
and if the House had no objec-
ion the Secretary would read it.
His Excellency the Attorney General
moved that it be referred to the Finance |
Committee.
Mr.. Kalua moved that it be read
Mr.. Castle seconded the motion made by
he Attorney General. If this cOmmunica-
ion was not petition a dangerous prece-
ent would be established. PromiscuOus
should not be received
nd presented to the Assembly.
Mr.. Dole thought that general communi-
atoms could not be admitted; but this was ,
special case.
His Excellency the Attorney General I
aid the opinion seemed to prevail that he :
id not want the communication read ,
his was not the case. 1t might just as q
ell be read on the following day There ?
ere two or three important bills to be
in regard to buildings in Homo q
Ilu, and he desired, if possible, to get :
lem acted upon. That was his sole OBJ :
elton. !
The motion to read was carried on di- q
sion, and the Secretary then read the Il
as follows: y
