state it.
Rep. Thurston said there was
committee Of one on the resolution
of the Minister of Finance, and he
was that committee.
The President said if the hon.
member (Keau) had resolution to
make on that he should make it.
Rep. Kaulukou said if that was
the report of committee the house
could take it up. He moved that
the report be not adopted.
Rep. Brown rose to point of
order. That was not a report Of a
committee. 1t was a mandate of tie
house to apologize to Ministers of
the Crown. The hon. member had
answered it and so ended that mat
ter, and it could not come up again
for amendment, for adoption, or for
rejection, under parliamentary rules.
The President asked the member
for Honolulu to take his seat for a
minute.
Rep. Kaulukou rose, and
Rep. Aholo raised point of Or
der-the house was going farther
and farther astray all the time.
The President said the member
for Molokai had complied with what
the house had asked him to do. 1t
was now quite in order for any
member to rise and move that it
ought to be accepted or that it ought
not to be accepted.
Rep. Kaulukou said then his mo-
tion was in order.
Rep. Keau said that was the
difficulty. If he had been allowed
to speak he would have made a mo-
tion, but he was called down.
Rep. Aholo said Rep. Kaulukou
was out of order when he made the
motion, as another member had the
floor.
Rep. Kcau moved that the apology
from the member for Molokai be
accepted.
Minister Neumann asked if that
apology was not accepted, would it
be protested for non-acceptance.
Rep. Kaulukou did not think the
apology was one that ought to be
accepted; therefore he hoped the
house would not accept it.
Rep. Aholo said he had listened
to what the hon. member had said,
but considered that he had not com
piled with the resolutions he did
not think he had apologized. He
had apologized so far as three
Ministers were concerned, but so
far as related to the Minister who
had moved the resolution he had not
apologized to him. The resolution
had not been complied with; still the
hon. member had said If lie had
transgressed the rules of the house
he was sorry for it, and perhaps
they ought to accept it. The mo-
ton of the hon. member for Homo
lulu was, however, one that any
small boy might make.
Rep. Palohau was not satisfied
with what the hon. member for
Molokai had said. He talked very
loud and gesticulated violently.
That was not the way penitent
man did. However, it might be a
peculiarly of the hon member, that
he could not speak in any other way.
The clenching of his fists was very
significant. When the hon. member
for Lihue (Dole) gets up to speak
he does not shake his fists at the
Ministers, but does it in an easy
gentle way.
Rep. Dole said it was very clear
| that some members would never be
satisfied without the literal carrying
out of remarks made yesterday
about the member coming in and
getting down on his knees to the
house. 1t seemed to be a question
whether that was an apology or not.
AS it was a long document, per-
haps some of the important points
were not so prominent as they should
be. He moved that the member for
Lahaina be committee of one to
say whether it was an apology or
not.
Rep. Keau considered the. mem
ber had not apologized; had not
carried out the resolution of the
house. He was given time to pre-
pare an apology.
The President asked the hon.
member if he had not made q mo-
tion to accept the apology.
Rep. Keau said he had, and then
moved Git being ~ o'clock } that the
house take recess till | 80 p. NJ.
The President announced that lie
had a communication to submit, and
the Secretary read an invitation fol
the Assembly to attend the annua
examination and exhibition of the
Kawaiahao Female Seminary or
Wednesday, June 2nd, at 1:3C
O'Clock.
The house then took recess.

7 Rep. Kaulukou moved that the

will appear later.
