Afternoon Session.

| Afternoon Session.
The House reassembled at AT O'Clock.
PERSONAL EXPLANATION.
Mr.. Kaulukou said that in his remarks
| previous to recess he had made state
ment regarding Bishop & Co. S bank. which
the Hon. Mr.. Bishop said was not true. If
he (the speaker) had been misinformed he
would withdraw the statement He ought
| to have stated the amount of interest paid
by Bishop & Co. at per cent instead of
per cent. He thought sufficient time had
been taken up i'll discussing the resolution,
and therefore moved the order of the day,
which carried.
INTERNAL TAX BILL IN COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Brown said that the special order of
the day was the consideration of the Tax
bill in Committee of the Whole.
His Excellency Mr.. Dare said that the
late Minister of Finance appointed the Tx
Assessors, and they had taken the field and
were practically at work. If any law re-
lating to taxes were enacted, it could not
go into effect until the beginning of the
fiscal year of 1897. He thought the Tax
bill was second to none other in import
ance. yet for the reasons stated it might
give way TO other bills of Importance He
therefore moved that the consideration of
the Tax bill be deferred to Tuesday
Mr.. Kalua said the motion might be
good one, but this House ordered the Tax
bill to be special order of to-day in COM
mittee. TO carry out the motion, it would
be necessary for the House to resolve it
self into committee, and then postpone the
consideration of the bill.
His Excellency Mr.. Dare said he did not
understand that the bill was to be consid-
cred in committee. II so, then Mr. Kalua
was right.
The House then resolved itself into Com
mittee of the Whole, Mr.. Kaunamano in
the Chair. He stated the business before
the committee was the Tax bill.
Mr.. Castle moved the committee rise and
ask leave to sit again on Thursday to con-
slider the bill. Carried.
On the House resuming, the Chairman
reported, and asked leave to sit again on
Thursday.
The report of the committee was adopted

into Committee of the Whole, to consider
the Appropriation bill. Carried. Mr..
Kaunamano in the Chair
Mr.. kaulukou said that on Wednesday,

furniture and a meat safe for the Jailor.

every district thatssent Representative.
He understood there was one at Honokaa.
A good Jail could be built for 81 500. They

ment, moved it pass at So.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson would call
the attention of Mr.. Kekoa to the item,
$4,000 repairs Government buildings, con-
tingent," which the House had passed.
He thought this item would cover repairs
to all Government buildings. If reference
were made to him as Minister of the In
terror he would look into the matter and
see if he could not squeeze $40 out of the
$4,000 H would not like TO see ar item
of $40 in the Appropriation bill.
The motion to insert the item in the APP
preparation bill was then put and lost.

His Excellency Mr. Gibson referred the
member to page 81 of the Interior Depart

$40, 700 for new wharves and repairs. In
making up the Appropriation bill it was
thought this could not be carried out, but
there is a certain amount needed for re-
pairs After careful consideration it was
found that $40, 700 would be enough
The item passed as in the bill.
Mr.. Kauhane moved an item of IS COO be
