street repaired. 1t was the worst oae

much. Resolution tabled to be consid-
cred with the Appropriation Bill
Hon. member Dole stated that
as the Minister of Finance had been
instructed to furnish the House with
copies of the Collector Generals Re
port for 1885, and as he supposed
some of the Minister'S associates rep
resented him in his absence the Hon.
member would like to know when they
were to get the reports.
His Excellency the Minister of the
Interior stated that it was through his
inadvertence that the report was not
furnished 1t will be given to mem
bers during the day.
Hon. member Amara from Wal alua
read a resolution to the effect that the
Secretary of the House insert in the
Appropriation bill the sum of $4s 500
for repairs of roads and bridges in
Waialua. The Hon. member ex-
planned his reason for wishing the
Secretary to place the item in the bill
as in previous sessions the Hon. mem
Der had presented like resolution
which was ordered tabled for consider
alton with the bill. Owing to the Hon.
member inirmity (deafness) perhaps
he had not been able to keep track Of
the resolution and got no appropriation.
On motion the resolution took the
usual course.
His Excellency the Minister of the
Interior reported copies of the report
of the Collector General which had
been called for, as ready for dis
tribution. He explained that while the
tables we're printed in English only the
Introductory portion of the report
would be found in the report of the

Hon. member Brown from Koolau-

ORDER OF THE DAY.
Third reading of act amending Sec
tion 1858 Civil Code. The purport of
this act is to render no conveyance of
real estate as binding unless the same
be in writing.
His excellency the AttOrney-General
moved to strike out the enacting clause
in order to bring the act up for debate
and explanation 1t looked to him as
though this act if passed would render
non-cupative wills of no effect.
Hon. member Dole, the introducer
of the bill, stated that while such an act
was in force in the United States and
England there was no such law on our
statute books. He cited recent case
to show that it was important that there
should be such loan.
His Excellency the Attorney Gen
eral withdrew his motion and the bill
passed its third reading.
Upon the third reading of an act to
amend section chapter 90 of the
Penal Code making the Hawaiian
version of the Code binding in cases of
irreconcilable differences between it
and the English version. Hon. mem
Der Brown moved the indefinite post
ponement of the bill
Hon. member Dole spoke strongly
against the passage of the bill. He said
that such bill was always brought up
each session, whether in joke or earn
est he really could not say. He re-
spected the Hawaiian language. 1t
had a history, legends and traditions.
But all Hawaiians wanted their chill
dren instructed in the English Ian
guage. The nation was made up of
many nationalities, and those who
have no knowledge of English must
fall behind in the struggle for position
or wealth. The English language is
the key that unlocks all business.
His Excellency the Attorney Gen
eral said there we're various reasons
why this bill should not pass. The
strongest reason lay in the fact that the
