Rep. Xaai in the chair.
Department of Foreign Afairs-
Continued.
Reception of Official Guests. $4,000
(Reduced to $4,000 in revised
estimates.)
Rep. Brown asked what official
guests we were likely to have during
the next two years.
Minister Creighton said the
Prince and Princess of Wales were
likely to call on their way from a
visit to Australia, in which case the
amount was not too large for His
Majesty to entertain them accord
ing to their rank. There was also a
balance, he found, in the Depart
ment of about 200 on account of
the entertainment of Prince Oscar
of Sweden.
Rep. Brown moved the item be
reduced to $4,000, and if the
Prince of Wales came the people of
Honolulu would be loyal enough to
give him a fitting reception. He
referred to several items still due
under this head, and said the $780,
600 voted for foreign missions the
other day was so much money
thrown into the sea.
Rep. Kaulukou moved the item
pass as in the bill at $4,000.
Rep. Kaunamano moved $4,000
as in the revised estimates, and
hoped the hon. member for Koo-
lauloa would withdraw his amend
ment.
Rep. Thurston said the member
for Hilo showed he never looked
into an item before moving on it, as
the Ministers themselves had recon-
mended a reduction to $4,000. Re-
ferring to the Kings message for
economy, he said the house appar-
emily wanted to prove that the
message and reply thereto were
bunkum, by going on in this way.
Perhaps the Government party had
resolved in caucus to pass this item
anyway, as III the case of the $50, ,0OC
for foreign missions.
Rep. Hayselden asked for the
speakers authority for the statement
that the Government party had {
caucus on the former item.
Rep. Thurston could not reply
definitely, not being in the councils
of that party. If the house did no
want to be regarded as wind bag
in professions Of retrenchment, i
ought to begin acting up to it's repl,
to His Majesty's message.
Rep. Kaulukou considered tn
previous speaker took too mucI
stock in outside rumors. He hat
heard report that the hon. membe
for Molokai was employed by. I
Brewer g. Co. to put certain meas
ures through the house, but he onl
' took such reports for what they wer
worth. If the hon. member desire
to entertain friends at his own house
he would have to incur some extr
, expense, and it was the same wit
the Government. 1t was likely tn
Prince of Wales would remain owe
here a while, in which case he shoul
t be fittingly entertained.
!. Rep. Aholo referred to the remar
4 of an hon. Noble the other day, tn,
certain bills remained unpaid. Pc
haps that was Oh account {
, no money being in the treasury.
= was said the Kings message was nj
being complied with, but that was il
correct, for the item had been r,
q duced by the Ministers from SIC, ,OC
to $4,000. 1t was all very well to sa
!, the Honolulu people would do the
. part we'll in case Of the distinguishe
: visit referred to, but that would NJ
excuse the Government from giyir
the Prince of Wales a proper sta
- reception.
~ Minister Gibson stated that VIII,
u the amounts owing were paid, the
y would be less than $4,000 left +,
q this purpose. When ministers we
% sent abroad their own countries pa
- - their expenses, but when prime
- ~ travelled they were everywhere +
y ceived as exceptional visitors.
