The bill passed, to be read a third
time Tuesday.
Second reading of bill to estab-
lish distinct bureau of education
for educating Hawaiian youth. in
foreign countries.
Minister Brown moved it be read
by title and referred to the educa-
ton committee. Carried.
Second reading of bill to provide
a subsidy to the Oceanic Steamship
Co.
Rep. Brown said the bill provided
$1,000 for each round trip, and, if
the company put on two trips
month the subsidy would have to
be paid for both, as this bill would
have the force of contract. He
would move that the subsidy be
$1,000 round trip, which would
amount to the item in the Appropri-
alton Bill, $4,000 for the period, if
the company should draw for two
round trips a month.
Minister Brown thought some
members Inexperienced the sub
ject. The company had been get
ting two thousand a month all along,
of which $500 was supposed to be
for the steamer Australia and $500
for the through mail steamers.
Rep. Brown Withdrew his previous
amendment and offered one provid-
ing that the company should make
no claim beyond the $48,0 900 appro-
priated. Afterward, on being in.
formed that the bill was perpetual,
he said he would move its indefinite
postponement.
Noble Baldwin advocated passing
the bill with the amendment propos-
ed by the select committee. The
company found the carrying OF ba-
nanas less profitable Than that of
sugar by two dollars ton. 1t was
great advantage to banana raisers
to have the facilities of reaching
market in good condition furnished
by these steamers.
Rep. Paehaole supported the bill
rs proposed to be amended by the
, committee.
, Rep. Richard supported the mo-
ton to indefinitely postpone the bill.
Since the House had appropriated
the S48, 900, the expenditure should
, be left in the hands of the Minister
, of finance. To confine the subsidy
to one company might conflict with
the rights Of others.
, Noble Horner thought the propo'
, sition to leave the item entirely ir
the hands of the Government smack.
q ed of true business. He did not see
I the necessity of tying the hands Of
the Government by combining the
subsidy to this company. Ii the
\ United States shipping bill became
law, these steamers might get one
half their payment for carrying thu
mails from that quarter, and thi
9 country might then save half of th
subsidy.
l. Noble Widemann said these steam
8 ers were as good, if not quite a
It large, as the best on any waters il
q the world. These steamers hal
t done good service for US, and wer
It entitled to our preference. Proba
a bly, in time there would be steam
It ers from Canada, and it would b
r seen what they could do for US. Blu
J. we knew what the Oceanic steamer

m punches were sent on every steamer
IS The subsidy was all spent, anyway
in labor on our wharues.
f. Rep. Brown remarked on the un
N fortunate circumstance Of member
10 not having the bill before them. II

the expenditure now.
4. Rep. Brown knew that, and h
proposed TO put the same limit /
it this bill. Corporations had n
souls, and, however well dispose
st the agents might be, the stockholG
ers in San Francisco could put o
