After discussion by the movers of

Castle and carried, that the bill be
read by title and referred TO q special

pointed Ministers Neumann and

vent the wauoon destruction OF game.

the preceding bill.
Second reading of an act to
amend sec. 1886, Civil Code, re-
lating TO the property of married
women.
Rep. Castle said the loan bill
should come up next. That not
being on the order in the Presidents
hands he insisted that it should be.
Eventually a motion was carried that
the bill already announced be laid
OH the table for consideration with
another on the same subject.
After considerable desultory dis
cussion Rep. Dole moved, and it
was carried, that the loan bill be in
serted in the order of the day.
Minister Gibson moved suspen-
sion of the rules, 10 have the bill
read by title and referred, which
carried.
Rep. Thurston moved it be re-
ferred to special committee, as the
Finance Committee had great deal
of business.
Rep. Kaulukou moved it be re-
ferred to committee of the whole
tomorrow.
Minister Kapena favored refer
ence to the Finance Committee.
Rep. Brown said that some time
ago he submitted to the house re-
solution that the ministers present
a statement of debt and bonds can
celed and uncanceled. That had
never been answered, and he thought
it was very material that the house
should know the exact standing of
the Government before it entered
into the discussion Of any loan. If
that statement WAS submitted To-
item and they saw that the Govern
ment was in debt, and they were
debts that should be paid, the house
might think it worth while to in
crease that loan so that they might
pay that debt off. Because all debts
OF this Government must he paid,
therefore, he should support its be-
ing referred to special committee,
and that the committee make no re-
turn or report upon it until they had
from the Government the statement
asked for. The house then would
be in position to act intelligcntly
upon this subject and give them
more money if it was necessary. AS
it was, he was not opposed TO the
bill as it stood now, but he was not
going to vote for the bill if it stood
too high.
The motion to refer to a special
committee prevailed.
