Rep. Richardson, from the EN-
crossing Committee, reported that
the bill to prevent distractions on
the streets, ordered for third reading
to-day, was not ready, and asked
an extension of time. On motion
Of Rep. Castle, the request was
granted, and the third reading of the
bill deferred till Tuesday next.
RESOLUTIONS.
Rep. Thurston moved q suspen-
sion Of the rules to allow him to
present petition, which carried,
and he presented petition from
Kalawao, Molokai, in which the
lepers complained of their food, and
another from the same place, asking
that the legislative committee Of
visitation be sent to the settlement
as soon as possible. He moved the
petitions be referred to the special
committee of visitation, and was
speaking on his motion when Minis
ter Dare called him to order, on the
ground that the President had the
reference of petitions to committees.
The motion carried.
Rep. Nahale gave notice of an
act to amend sec. 2, chap. 43, laws
Of 1882, to reduce the poll tax from
Sl.0O to rs cents.
The President appointed Minister
Dare on various special committees
in place of the ex-Attorney-G General.
Rep. Thurston presented a resolu-
ton that the special committee APP
pointed to 60 to Kalawao, Molokai,
to investigate the condition of affairs
there, do carry out the object for
which they were appointed, by pro-
ceeding to Molokai as soon as ar
rangements can be made for taking
them there. He spoke of the i'm
portance of complying with the
prayers of the unfortunate people
as greater than the Importance
of having the public buildings
visited. If those people were
shut up there and their petitions
disregarded they would be liable
eventually to become desperate.
Minister Dare rose to point of
order, and was speaking of what he
heard in the lobby before he be-
came member, on the difficulty of
sending the committee to Molokai,
when Rep. Thurston called him to
order because he had no right to
discuss the question but state his
point of order. The Minister then
stated his point, which was that the
only action the house was competent
to take was to call for the COM
lnittee's report.
Rep. Kaulukou moved the order
of the day.
Reps. Thurston, Richardson and
Brown objected to the latter motion,
while a resolution was pending.
Minister Dare quoted a rule of
the house that a motion for the order
of the day was admissible after the
house had been one hour hearing re-
ports and resolutions.
The President ruled the motion to
be regular.
Minister Gibson rose, saying he
had a resolution to present.
Several members protested against
the Minister being allowed the privi-
lege after Rep. Thurston's resolution
was blocked.
Minister Gibson said it was on the
Fourth of July.
Rep. Brown said he did not care
what it was about. What was sauce
for the goose was sause for the
gander.
The motion for the order of the
day carried.

Rep. Dickey moved a suspension
of the rules to allow the Minister of
Interior to present his Fourth of
July resolution. Carried.

following resolution
