RESOLUTIONS.
Rep. Dole gave notice of bill to
provide an additional port of entry
on the island of Kauai.
The same member read his reso-
luton to make new rule, providing
for notice being given of questions
to Ministers, and moved it pass.
Rep. Kaulukou thought the reso-
luton, which he believed n good one,
ought to take the same course as q

vided for making a new rule in the
way being taken, and was supported
by the chair.

fuse an extension of time if de-
MED.

: fore the Assembly, and furnishing
such Minister with copy of sucf
, written question. Any Minister Sc
/ questioned shall reply to such ques
, ton upon the following day, unless

pie from ether countries working ol

II for Honolulu was a man of prett,
e good sense, who, if he thought ther
y was any danger of the bill passing
II would vote against it himself.
q Rep. Keau thought motion I
a reject on first reading should not b
le entertained without a suspension c
Il the rules and second reading b
ne title. 1t was not, as the hon. men

i'll order to gain little fame that
er had introduced this bill. The peop
ne of Honolulu had some time ago pet

contracts on the plantations had e
as pired, hocked into Honolulu al
ch took the work that the natives h;

ice candidate was not elected.
