The Chinese Minister is evidently very
much in earnest in his protests against the
treatment of his countrymen on the Pacific
slope, and with the customary shrewdness
of his race. is carefully terrifying bis posi-
ton so as to make subsequent demands for
indemnity absolutely unanswerable, except
by the simple process of payment. The
matter has been allowed to drift quite far
enough, and it is time that Congress should
take up the subject and put an end, in one
way or another. to what will otherwise be-
come q very costly complication.

! inserted for wharf at HonaPo, Hawaii.
! Last year the wharf was washed away. and
was rebuilt by Irwin & Co. at an expense
! of over $1l 600. The latter firm is willing
to make the landing entirely public il the
Government bears part OF the expense
Mr.. Dickey opposed the item. lie knew
other landings that belonged to private
parties, and no charge was made 70 the
public for using them. When Irwin 4 Co.
built that wharf, they did not build II for
the benefit OF the public, but for the bene-
tit of Irwin & Co. There was no necessity
to pass the item.
Mr. Brown was not in favor OF it. as
there had been no petition or request from
Irwin & Co. He was not in favor OF giving
one cent 10 any private individual or sugar
company for building wharf.
Hon. Mr.. Walker said that three years
ago the wharf was built at cost of $l3,5o0
by the Pacific Navigation Company and
the Hilea and Naalahu Sugar Companies.
In July. 1885, during heavy storm. the
landing was washed away. Ii was not re-
built by Irwin & Co., but by the Pacific
Navigation Company and the two sugar
companies. Those who had seen it say il
is very substantial affair. 1t stretches
out into the sea far enough 10 allow boats
to go alongside. 1t has cost over SIP 900.
= Mr.. Keau moved it pass AZ 5000.
Mr.. Brown moved the item be inserted
in the bill as follows: Government aid for
building wharf at Honuapo, provided the
owners thereof make no charge for wharf
age on freight or passengers, an undertak-
ing in writing to that effect TO be given the
Government, $1,000"
The latter motion was carried
Wharf at Hookena, Hawaii, 5000.

hama, 81 600. Passed.
Repairs and improvements to landing at
Maizena,, Maui, $500. Passed.
Landing at Hamoa, Maui, $500. Passed.
Wharf at Keauhou, Kona, $500.
Passed.
Mr.. Dickey moved that $1,000 be appro-
priated for wharf at Kuau, Maui There
was a good wharf there, which had been
built by company which charged nothing
to the public. and therefore he thought
was entitled to more consideration than
others which had received votes of money.
Seven thousand dollars could be well APP
piled there.
Mr.. Ahola moved it pass at $1,000. A
motion to report progress was interposed.
At 400 the committee rose, and on the
House resuming, the Chairman reported
progress and asked leave to sit again.
The report of the committee was adopted,
end at LIS the House adjourned to 10
o'clock Saturday morning.

bank of Bishop & Co. $3.50, 900, at six pei
cent, to get that establishment and its de-
pendents out of difficulties. The honorable
Noble Wilder was member of the Gov
eminent which made this loan to Bishop
& Co; but when the Government was in
difficulties afterwards that same bank only
helped it by loaniRg il money for which
~nine per cent was charged. That was the
kind of assistance the country would get
from Bishop & Co. and their friends; but
it was entirely different in Colonel Spreck-
els case, as he had made advances without
such conditions or receiving or asking any
favor in return
Mr.. kalua rose to point of order The
honorable member was not speaking on
the resolution.
The President ruled both sides were
wandering away from the subject.
Mr.. ThurSton said that was n different
ruling from one made against him few
days ago.
Hon. Mr.. Bishop would like to know
what the President means by both sides"
Mr.. Kaulukou was making statements
about the bank he (the speaker) was con-
nected with, which are not true.
The President ruled that Mr. Kaulukou
had no right to make untrue statements.
Mr.. Dole had taken the opportunity to re-
fer to rumors, and therefore, although he
regarded deal of the remarks entirely out
of order, as both sides had transgressed, a
good deal of latitude should be allowed.
Mr.. Brown thought that in future when
the President saw member out of order
he should call him to order.
Mr.. Aholo said the President had so
many instructions given him that he
thought they had better take recess. He
moved the House adjourn to 80 O'Clock.
Carried.
The House rose at 1910.

Twisted Prairie Hay.
nY nora Mon1rR, MASON cot srr, ~,

by DORA MoRIER, MASON COUNTY, I'LL.
Out or the bonndless prairie, with never tree
in sight,
With . landscape lone and dreary. in the bitter
winter night.
With nothing to break the winG-storms sweep
ing over the way;
We almost despair Of keeping warm With twisted
prairie hay.
Our hay Is the famous blue stem, and makes the
best OF feed;
II covers the barn and sranary, and supplies an
other need.
For We TWIST 1t up like frlcdcakc. as largo NJ a
stick Of wood,
And keep the fires a-burning while our women
cook tile food.
Coal is brought by the railroad almost to our
very door,
But clothes and food we all must have, and the
people you know are poor
RepInng won't help us any, so we live rs best
we may,
And keep our fires a-burning. with twisted prai-
ric has.
In summer We easily manage TO get up sufficient
heat.
To wash and iron, and bake and COOK whatever
we want toeat;
But our mcmoricrs wander backward, DER the
lapse OF many day.
AS we sit by the stack in the sunshine a;wistlns
the prairie hay.
We think OF times by the camp fires. listnlng to
| soldiers tales,
When we Kept the fires a-burninE with confs-
| Gated rails;
So many comraas surely, who live In the West
/ to-day.
Are keeping the home fires burning with twisted
prairie hay.
