PETITIONS.
Mr. Kaukau, on suspension of the rules,

REPORT or JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Kaulukou presented report from
/ the Judiciary Committee Oh petition from
/ North Kona against the election Of Hon. }.
/ X. Nahale The report, which was 4 very
/ lengthy one, was written and read in Ha-
waiian, and was not translated. The sub
stance of it was that the committee had
fully examined the alleged grounds OF the
complaint in the petition, and even making
/ allowance for all its averments, Hon. }. h.
NahaIe would still have two votes ahead Of
/ q. w. Pilipo, the defeated candidate.
Therefore the committee recommend that
the prayer of the petition be not granted.
The report was signed by J. L. KaulukOu,
J. II. 5. Martin, Cecil Brown and }. h
Kaunamano. The other member OF the
committee, G. b. Palohau, had not signed,
owing to his being absent from the House
Mr.. Castle moved that the report be ac-
cepted and laid on the table, and that a
translation be ordered to be made.
Mr.. Havselden moved that the report OF
the committee be adopted.
Mr.. Thurston thought that was rather
rushing matters. From what he had hearc
of the report he believed the COMMITTEES
had worked faithfully. He knew nothing
of the matter only what he had heard reaC
that morning. 1t seemed to him, however
10 be another evidence of the disposition t.
not let matters come thoroughly before
the House. 1t was beneath the dignity o
the House to rush a matter of great i'm
portance through in such hasty manner
Mr.. Castle said he would like Mr.. Hay
selden to give a reason for his motion. HI
a had heard part of the evidence, and wa
satisfied that the report of the commltte
was correct.
Mr.. HaySelden said his reasons for NOV
. ing the adoption OF the report was that II

The committee was very intelligent one
The members on the other side talke'
- about expense, but they were inconsiSten
a as this report would cost something
a translate.
DR.. Wight agreed with Mr.. Thurstol
He was a Young man, and If he was nc
able to fully understand the report 1t wa
e not wonderful that he (the speake
81 should be in the same position In rae
he did not hear it. The acoustic quaht'
- of the Legislative chamber were by II
N means perfect. Mr.. Kaulukou read tn
N report with such rapidity that he could N
follow it at anv time. He sat quietly in n
seat expecting that it would be read
RI English. At present he had not the lea
IT idea of the report.
Mr.. Dickey moved that the interpret
be instructed to translate the report to Il
= House at once.
Mr.. Kaai was in favor Of adopting Il
~ report.
IN The President said it might save time
me stated that the adoption Of the rePo
would be out of order until it had be
ne read in English and Hawaiian.
", Mr.. Kaulukou said there was no rule
m curing a committee to report in DO
languages.
&C. The President remarked that II a mel
. Der said he did not understand the TepC
that was sufficient.
Mr. Thurston thought if a majority vo'
oT. for the motion it would be undignitied a
Jr. discourteous TO other members OF

on Mr.. Dole was surprised ut the attitu
of the speakers on the question 1t

Every member knew that if a report
J. read in English it must also be read in /
waiian. There had never been refusal
o'h read a report in both languages before
Mr. Thurston did not like the attempt
force the report upon members IN
dition to the printed rules, there was 4
i,,.ida IF every man based on comm
