excused from the House. The House had
a right to know whether she went there at
public expense or not. 1t cost money for
a steamer 10 go around these Islands, and
it looked like a wilful squandering of
money.
Mr.. Kaulukou said it was in the province
Of this Assembly to inquire into the spend |
ing OF public money. With regard to the /
resolution, at the end of this biennial |
period there would be report presented |
of all receipts and expenditures, and If /
there had been any expense in this matter
it would be in that report. He did not in !
dorse any use of public property for pri- |
vate use. He moved that the resolution
be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. Thurston said it was small matter,
but involved great deal. Now was the
time to investigate, and not wait for two
years They might all be dead. If the
tug had been used for the private use of
the Minister of Finance it was wrong and
should be stopped.
Mr.. KaulullOu said all the House had to
take into consideration was how the
moneys were spent The House had no
right to ask the question now. He thought
| Mr. Thurston would be alive two years
/ from now.
/ Mr.. Dole said he did not think they
/ should thank Mr.. ThurstOn for being so
sharp in presenting resolutions, which they
were always tabling or indefinitely post
| poning. He wished the Hawaiian papers
reported the proceedings of this House as
full as the English ones. The natives
would then see this House was crowding
down investigations against the Govern
ment, which would go down to futurity
and rebound to the great discredit of Min
| listers and the House. He did not like to
see this kind of record going into the
papers The Minister of Foreign Affairs
told him the other day that there was not
an item in his department that he was
afraid to have spread before the world.
They should believe that, and when
member had suspicion in mind they
should all try to remove it. There was no
doubt in his mind that the kind of Ian
guage used by Mr.. Kaulukou was injurious.
The resolution was indefinitely post
poned on a vote of 16 to 13.
COMMITTEE on EDUCATION EXPENDITURE.
The President appointed the following
Select Committee, to which was referred
the previous day certain items in the De-
partment of Education: Hons. Castle,
Bishop, His Excellency Gibson, Hons.
Kaai and Kauhane.
| QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.
Mr.. Dole rose to a matter of privilege.
Some of his remarks the previous day
about the Board of Health were construed
to mean a direct charge OF Incidence
, against the Cabinet, and the Minister of
. Foreign Affairs had retaliated with per-
sOnal remarks against him. He would
say he did not make any such charge.
While he had some serious objections
against Ministers, he could not charge
them with Iaziness. The personal re-
maks against himself had not been con-
nected with the debate, so he would not
=, allude to them.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson said he did
understand Mr.. Dole to refer to the Minis
tiers as being indolent, and having heard
remarks about certain estimable gentle
man being afflicted with similar failing
/ he repeated them; but seeing Mr.. Dole.
Il close attention to his duties in the House
he would dismiss that thought entirely.

a Mr.. Cecil Brown said that he had intro
