third reading on the 9th inst.

NINETY-FIRs DAY.
WEDNESDAY, Sept. l.
The members present at 10 a. N. were called to
order promptly at that hour, by President
Walker, and the chaplain delivered the morning
prayer. At 10.15 quorum was present and the
business OF the day was proceeded with as follows
The minutes of the previous meeting were read
and on the completion, Rep. Dole said that
he was mentioned as moving the amendment
that freight on bananas be charged at the rate of
so cents per bunch He desired to say that he re-
garded the statement as libillous, as he believed
the amendment to be most iniquitous and he "had
no desire or intention to further any motion for
more than 30 cents per bunch" The statement
of the honorable member caused considerable
merriment as the Objectionable amendment had
been made by Rep. Castle.
Representative Dole from special committee
having charge of certain liquor bills, presented
the following report signed by himself, Reps
Aholo, Kauhane, Richardson, and the Attorney
General, viz:
''Your select committee to whom has been re-
ferred a certain bill, entitled IAN Act to amend
chapter 49, sections and g. of an Act approved in
the year 1874 entitled San Act authorizing the
Minister of the Interior to grant to owners of mills
for the manufacture of sugar, licenses 10 diStill
spirituous liquors, introduced by the honorable
member from Hamakua; also, bill entitled San
Act to amend sections ], 3 and of an Act," en-
titled "An Act authorizing the Minister OF the
Interior to grant to owners of mills for the manu-
facture of sugar, licenses to distill spirituous
liquors. approved ON the 18th day of July, 1874
introduced by the Hon. E. X. Lilikalaui, report as
follows
The object of the two bills is the same and that
is to amend the statute of 1874 that licenses to
distill spirtuous liquors may be issued to any
applicant who can perform the necessary con-
ditions. The record of the two bills contains
inconsistent section, section permitting spirits
manufactured under the statute to be withdrawn
for local consumption without an excise tax or
duty, whereas section provides for punishment
by fine, cancellation of license, and con fscation
of dstilling apparatus for introducing any such
spirit for consumption.
On account of this inconsistency we find it diff
ficult to understand the provisions of the bill of
Hon. L. X. Lilikalani, beyond the purpose to open
the privilege of distilng spirits to all applicants
on which point both bills agree with each other.
In view of the fact of the Distillery Act of 1864.
which provides for the granting of two licenses
for the manufacture OF spirits III the city of Homo
lulu, at cost of fifty dollars to the licensee for
the license and fifty dollars thereafter during the
term of the license which is fixed at live years. it
seems to US that if there is any demand for such
privileges it is satisfactorily supplied by the said
Act of 1854, and upon that ground alone without !
considering the general policy of opening the |
privilege of dlsllery to all applicants and because
there at the present time no applicants for !
the said two licenses, we recommend that both of |
the said bills be laid upon the table,"
The report was, motion, laid on the table.
The bill relating to national loan was now
taken up on third reading, and, after some little
was passed by the following vote:
AYES: The Ministers (four), Dominis, Wilder,
Kuihelani, Dowsett, Bush, Kaae, Martin, Mac
farane, Parker, Hayselden, Keau, Lilikalani,
Baker, Amara, Kaulia, Kaulukou, Pahia, Kauna-
mano, Nahale, Nahinu, kalua, Aholo, Kaukau.
Kaai, Kauai-30.
NoEs Brown, Wight, Castle, Dickey, Thurston,
Dole, Palohau-7.
