The bill passed
Noble Walbridge rose 10 a question o
privilege relative to the bill which hSC
been wrongly engroSsed. The bill haC
not been signed by the EngroSsing Com
mittee, and the bill contains no note o
| any six months amendment.
Third reading OF Bill IS, relating Il
auction licenses.
Minister Spencer moved the bill pass
! Noble Macfarlane thought that since
the amendments were made the bill
would make the Interior Office a great
| deal OF trouble. That is the opinion o.
the head clerk OF the department. The
suctioneers in the country districts are
chiefly Hawaiisns and they do not I'M
derstood the half Of per cent. commits
sion, and the result is il entails great
deal OF correspondence. he asked me
TO make this statement and urge the pas
sage OF the bill in its original shape.
Noble Widemann said the bill was now
on its third reading. He did not see why
the House should change the bill to save
the clerk OF the Interior Department
some writing He hsd no business TO
send aay such message into the House.
! Noble Maefarlane- He did not send in
any message. He merely made this
statement TO me-
Noble Macfsrlane wished to correct
Noble Widemann's misrepresentation,
but the latter did not wish 10 be cor
rected.
Noble Wiiemann said It was stultify-
ing 10 listen 10 such talk. as If the aue-
TONERS OF Hamskua, kohala, kona, ETC.,
could not understand per eentage COM
mission. He moved the bill pass.
Minister Spencer had introduced the
bill because he thought ii 8 good one.
He thought so still, and therefore moved
its passage.
The bill passed.
Second reading Of Bill 149, TO substitute
steamship line from Hilo to San Diego.
The committees report was read.
Rep. Lucas moved the bill be indei-
nitely postponed.
Rep. Waipuilani moved il pass to be
engroSsed.
Rep. Lucas failed to see the necessity
OF steamship line 10 San Diego. It
would drive away the sailing vessels.
The only advantage Hawaii people
would have would be 8 mail occasion
ally. There would soon be cable COM
municatiOn with Hawaii, and then they
would not need to write any letters. The
present service Oceanic Steamship
Company-was very good. II these peo-
pie wanted 10 run steamers let them do
II, but the Government could not afford
10 pay them s, 600 month for it. The
sailing vessels paid for water, wharfage,
ETC., and they kept the wharves up. A
good many OF these vessels are owned
here. The Inter-Islaud steamers get no
subsidy, and this steamer would inter
fere with them. Another reason was:
San Diego was q place where hay and
grain were raised. II would be brought
here IN vast quantities, and the people IN
the business paving licenses and import
ing from elsewhere would be ruined,
ana the Government would lose the
license fees.
Rep. Nawahi thought the remarks Of
the hon. member from Honolulu very
extraordinary. He favored the subsidy
for the Oceanic Steamship Company. II
It Is q good thing for Honolulu to have q
steamship line, why not for Hilo? Az
soon as ne has got what he wants for
Honolulu. he Is satisfied. We ought to
act in fair and equitable manner. The
country members voted for the Oceanic
Steamship Company subsidy. II the
hon. member viii be consistent and op-
pose that, am willing 70 have him op-
pose this. II the hon. member wanted
TO 20 TO San Francisco, he would not 90
on one Of those sailing vessels he is talk
ing so much about. We want to get
something for the outer districts. We
are willing that Honolulu shall have the
lions share. The hon. member, like q
great many other Honolulu people, is
jealous OF Hilo and other country places.
He doesn't want Hilo 10 raise its head
out OF the mud. The hon. member says
We viii soon have Geographic communi-
cation, and then We shan't need a
steamer. Does he mean We will get our
goods by telegraph? | don't think he
goes SIS far as that. l don't think the
member from Honolulu is acting in a
very fair manner. l don't wonder that he
has run out OF the room.
The House took q recess.
