ONE HUNDRED AND FoUETEENTH DAY.

Inc Assembly COuNSuSQ d llllS past tue uOuE
set and after the usual preliminary business was
finished attention was given to report presented
/ by Representative kaunamano signed by himself
and relating to the licensing of opium. The petit
tlonS were signed by II foreign and number of
| Chinese residents. The siguer found that large
quantity of opium is smuSgled into the country
and that the traffic Is q very profitable one, and
the committee have information that many of the
people who signed the petitions were themselves
engaged in selling and smuggling opium. The
committee think il would be foolish to grant the
prayer of these petitions, q license law would
give to the Government large part of the revenue
| now derived from the illicit traffic. Tabled.

ment and the amount of money realized from
such sales, and also the amount of money realized
/ from the sale of the said accoutrements or any
/ part thereof"
! The Minister of Interior said the question should
| be addressed to the Attorney Generals Depart
ment.
! Representative Dole thought differently and
| the question was forwarded to the Minister ad-
/ dressed.
| On motion OF Rep. Brown reconsideration of
the vote by which the bill, relating to withdrawal
| of alcohol from the custom house, had passed was
put and carried and bill laid for the present on

| On motion of Rep. AhoIo the bill relating to

placed on the order of the day next to the bills
! third reading for the next day.
/ Representative Kaulukou desired TO know if the
members of the committee on the bill for the
| additional judges were ready TO report.
/ The question caused some little discussion to
ensue, mainly relating to points of ORDER finally
being settled by the order of the day being moved,
thus bringing up the further consideration of the
! On motion the report of the Committee on Pc
| titions from volunteer military companies was
read.
! Representative Kgulukou amended the item, aid
to military companies $26, ,25434, in accordance
with the recommendation of the committee, bs in
serting laid to military and for the purchase of
! arms and aecOutrements, $46,254.S."
| Representative Dole suspected the trouble was
with the and not with the guns. The guns
| were of modern pattern, and no doubt, If aimed
| right, they would hre right He approved of
well drilled body OF troops and II good drill
master we're placed over the troops to instruct
them properly and enforce discipline, there might
be some use In it.
| Representative Thurston thought there was a
good chance given now for the Ministers of econo-
my and reform, to show themselves.
The Minister of the Interior said that he did
not know what authority the member for Molokai
had for referring TO the present Ministry as Min
istry of reform and economy. The former Minis
try had recommended certain reductions In the
Appropriation Bill but the new Ministers had not
subscribed to any particular measure of reform or
to any Sc. of principles. For his own part, he

the revised estimates were submitted. His views
on economy had been somewhat modified by the
votes of the Assembly. These votes seemed to
indicate confidence IN the sources of revenue and
in the methods of administration. He would be
glad if many items had been for less amounts.
When the estimates were prepared, 1t was thought
that $26 600 was sufficient for the military COM
panles; but now, committee OF the House had
decided that the companies required more arms
and aceoutrements; and the report OF the COM
mittee entitled to consideration.
Hon. Junies Kaae stated that the matter had
been well explained to the committee. The men
were being brought up to an excellent degree of
ability and discipline but the arms furnished were
of a mechanism that easily got out of order and
there were now a number of the guns practically
useless on that account. It had been deemed
advisable to obtain new outfit altogether rather
them to obtain supply Of the kind now in use.
On motion the ayes and nays were taken on the
