Assembly for their address and
hoped his recommendation would be
carried out.
ADJOURNMENT.
Rep. Aholo said it had pleased
His Majesty to appoint new Min
istry. Being new in office perhaps
they should lie given little time to
become acquainted with their duties.
Ii had been the custom, on change
of government, to adjourn to give
the new Cabinet such an opportu-
nifty. There were other reasons for
adjournment, therefore he moved
the house adjourn till 10 O'Clock to-
morrow.
Rep. Dole said il the Cabinet had
expressed the desire, he should have
been glad to give them the time
asked and great deal more. 1t had
not happened often enough TO be
precedent. He hoped it would not
be precedent to have the Gov
eminent changed in the middle of
session. He considered il was a
reasonable thing to grant the new
Ministry if they desired ii. But
what could be done in the way of
preparation in "a hours! He should
prefer to give them six months in
order to become acquainted with the
laws of the country. The necessity
of this kind of thing would he
avoided by giving them Cabinet
already acquainted with their laws.
He opposed this unless it was asked
by the Ministry.
Rep. kaunamano moved IN amend
ment that the house adjourn until
Tuesday. There were great many
details that the new Ministers would
have to learn. Not that they could
not get up and debate, but they
would be asked questions that they
ought to be in position to answer.
One session there was change of
Ministry and the house adjourned
for 90 days..
Rep. Palohau was in favor of
what had been SAID by the hon.
member for Lihue. 1t would not be
the business of this house, but that
of their cwn offices, that the Minis
tiers were TO be given chance to
learn, apd that would not help the
house. If they were new and
strange, the members of the house
would give them'a little instruction
for nothing. He thought the house
had better go on with its business.
All The reports were in and the new
Ministers had nothing to do. If any
doubtful matter came up they could
answer that it was the work of the
last Ministry. Therefore he did not
think this amendment for two days
was going TO do any good. Proba.
bly, they would be asked ct the end
of two days 10 make another adj
journment. He thought The member
for Lihue and the member for Molo-
kai would keep the Ministry in the
right track, and he was willing him
self TO give them all the assistance
in his power.
Rep. Richardson asked if the
Ministers wanted adjournment, and
for how long?
Minister Gibson said the subject
had tbeen discussed this morning
and they had concluded to go on
with the business. The motion of
the hon. member for Lahaina, how
ever, was very proper, as this was
the day the foreign mail steamer
left, and the new Ministers would
doubtless like to get little used to
their offices. Probably it was I'M
fortunate that His Majesty did not
see fit TO choose gentleman of ex-
perience and knowledge of their
laws, such as the hon. member for
Lihue, but he would probably find
in those Ministers gentlemen who
would be able to cope with him.
Rep. Brown said before His EX-
cellency spoke he was in favor of
adjournment till tomorrow morning,
but since he said the Ministry were
ready, let them go on with the bust
ness. The cry was yesterday they
should rot postpone the Appropria-
ton Bill. because they wanted TO get
through the business. Now let them
go on with the business.
Rep. Castle understood this was a
reform Cabinet, in favor of retrench-
ment, framed in accordance with
the remarks heard at the banquet
on the steamer the other night. The
back of the present Apr 'priation
Bill was very badly broken, the late
Cabinet having brought in list of
reductions. He most certainly hoped
that the new Minister of the Interior
would bring in a new Appropriation
Bill, not to cut down necessary eX-
penses, but to stop commissions,
which were the biggest leak hitherto.
The remarks he had heard from the
late Minister of Foreign Affairs he
heartily applauded, and he thought
the present Cabinet could not do
better than give them new Appro-
priation Bill. If they brought in a
measure of reform and retrench-
ment, he felt sure they would be
, supported by the Opposition and
