The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1890-10-10

passed
Third reading of an act to establish /
steam communication between Honolulu /
and Tahiti.
Rep. Lucas moved the bill pass.
Noble Isenberg moved il be indefinite /
ly postponed. He did not think they /
should give sl2 900 a year for something |
that would be OF no benefit 10 the |
country.
Noble j. ". Horner favored the mo-
ton made by the last speaker. For us
to take the products of.Tahiti 10 America
is certainly unwise. | fail TO see any ad-
vantages that will come Immediately or
in the future from the trade between
steamship line with foreign country,
and | am surprised at the hon. mobiles
moving to have the bill indefinitely post
poned. A Hawaiian steamer will per-
form this service, and that will make
demand Tor more labor. The hon. mem
Der stated many advantages to be OBJ
tanned by the establishing OF this line.
He hoped the bill would pass
Rep. K. w. Wilcox was in favor OF
the bill passing. Am sorry TO see Noble
Horner backsliding, as he has been in
favor of steamship lines, telegraPhs, etc;
| \ large amount Of money will be paid
| freight by this steamer transhipped.
| Noble Widemann-There is no trade
| between Tahiti and Honolulu at the
| present time This is a trial. | should
| have advocated a smaller subsidy, but
| as il has gone so far | will let it go. A
| great deal of money will be spent here.
| The subsidy will all be spent here. The
country will not go to ruin if We do not
pass this bill.
Minister Brown-When this bill was
on its second reading, | voted against its
| indefinite postponement. l understand
the Oceanic Steamship Company has
entered into contract with the French
IsGovernment to carry the mails for
| $50, 900 francs year. The vessel to run
between Honolulu and Tahiti will be the
kinau, which flies the Hawaiian flag. |
think the $1,000 subsidy out of proportion,
but would be in favor of giving little
less. Papeete is not SO big a place as
Hilo. l do not think any great amount
of commerce will spring up between the
two ports. Our products are identical.
1t will kill the passenger traffic by sail
ing vessels from Tahiti to San Francisco,
the passengers coming by way of Homo
lulu. l am in favor of smaller subsidy.
Noble Cornwell-lf the Kinau is put
on, all of the subsidy will be spent here.
1t is an enterprise that will bring BUSH
ness about. There are members in this
House who, few years ago, never
thought that the trade between San
Francisco and Honolulu would get into
the millions, as it has.
Rep. Richard was of the opinion that
number of members favored this from
personal motives. for the reason that the
same members opposed the San Diego
subsidy. / am not in favor of this SUBJ
) sidy. l move the amount be fixed at
$500.
Noble Isenberg-I think the line will
be started without the subsidy.
Noble Cornwell-It will not be started
on $500.
Noble Isenberg-I voted for $4,000
for the Oceanic subsidy, and that is
the only one we should give. If we
give to this line all the privileges on the
wharf that should be sufficient.
Noble Parker-They kill about 40(
head of cattle year at Tahiti. The
Government wanted to contract with me
for that number. l sent some down
They went on sailing vessel, and
good many died on the voyage
!. That was not profitable to me. If 6
. steamer was to run there, contract
might be made. l move the previous
, question. Lost.
Rep. Nawahi was in favor of anything
! that would help to develop the country
. Noble Isenberg voted for the ocean,.
subsidy, but is against this. l can only
account for this because the hon. Noble
has all his capital out at interest in Ger
many, laying golden eggs, and the
Oceanic is the line he goes home on
Rep. Paehaole said the Tariff Bill may
!; effect the sugar business. For that rea
, son we should make an effort to star
l other industries.
, Rep. Baker thought the House was
not fair. On the 25th of September the
; House had prisoner up, and did moi
give him chance to say his last prayers
To-day another is up, and the House
gave him every chance possible. l dc
: see anything consistent in that On the
l same day september 25th) the Minister
in charge of the spring said there was nc
more water. To-day he says there is 6
. little. l have no faith in such state
: ments. l move the previous question
Carried.
Rep. Marques moved that the aye!
and noes be taken. Carried.

the bill was lost on the following vote:
