Afternoon.

Noble Young was not in favor of Chinese
But others need them and they must and
will have them. He was charged with at,
tempting to ride rough shod over Rep
Kinney's bill. To clear himself of any
imputation of that kind, he would with
draw his motion to postpone the bill.
Noble Hitchcock took the same position
as Noble Young. 1t Is unsafe to begin
tampering with the Constitution. The
! foundation of good government had been
laid and it would be unwise to go digging
| out the stones. No bill passed this session
can be affected by the proposed amend
ment.
Rep. G. Brown agreed with the Mobiles
who had spoken on the question that the
less this House has to do with amending
the CONSTITUTE ton, the better for the Consti-
tuition and the better for the country.
The bill was referred to the special COM
mittee, appointed 18th inst, on the petit
ton of the Anti-Asiatic Union.
The following were read, a second time
by title, and were referred to the several
committees named with them:
Amend Internal Taxes Law of 1882

on KOnOhiki fisheries.
Amend Civil Code, Sec. 1868, Practitioners
in Courts judiciary Committee.
Amend Civil Code, Sec. 191, Water Sup
ply-Public Lands, ETC., Committee.
Officers to take acknowledgements etc
This bill was taken up and considered sec
ton by section. The main provisions OF
