the Interior Office some writing, lie
thought It was strange TO have
message come TO the House from the
Interior office clerk.
Noble Mactarlane denied that
there was any message from the
clerk.
n ,ble Widemann understood that
the clerk had requested the hon.
Noble to move The amendment.
Noble Maclarlane said he had
qualified the statement by saying
the clerk had merely given him the
information.
Noble Widemann said it was a
message to all intents and purposes.
1t would be stultifying for them to
declare that licensed auctioneers
would not understand the percent
age clause.
Minister Spencer said he intro
duced the bill. He regarded it as
good bill, and accepted the amend
ments as also good, Therefore he
moved that the bill pass.
The bill passed.
Second reading OF bill 10 encour-
age the establishing of new steam
ship line between the western coast
of California, in the United States
Of America, and the Islands of the
Hawaiian Kingdom (San Diego,
Hlo, and Honolulu line). Con-
sidered with favorable report of
select committee.
Rep Lucas moved the bill he in
definitely postponed. He failed to
see the necessity of establishing a
steamship line between San Diego
and Hilo. 1t would drive away the
sailing vessels. There you give
them free wharfage and free water,
and pay for the labor of discharg-
ing them. The only benefit Hilo
would have would be an occasional
mail. They would have cable
shortly connecting the islands of the
group and would not need 10 write
letters. We had good service now
with an occasional call from the
| China lines. Ii we were giving
privileges to sailing vessels, and
then pay steamship line SAB. O0O
10 run them off, he would like to
know what the House meant. The
steamers running between the ISL
ands got no subsidy. This line
would bring grain and hay to sell al
auction, compelling licensed dealers
to withdrew from business, so tina,
the Government would los. the price
of their licenses.
Rep. Waipuilani moved that the
bill pass to engrossment.
Rep. Nawahi said that the hon
member for the fourth district hav'
ing got the Honolulu line subsidized
did not want to see the Hilo line ge
anything. If the line to Honolulu
was good thing then why SHOULD
not the line to Hilo be good like
wise? The hon. member only spok
for the sake of talking, and couIt
not substantiate what he said. l
the hon. member agreed to vote fo
indefinitely postponing the ocean,
steamer subsidy he would join Hit
now in preventing the Hilo-Sa
Diego line getting subsidy. Whel
Hawaii members helped the Oah
railroad subsidy it was for the gen
eral good. When they wanted
ride on the cars they did not propos
to come down to Oahu for it. bu
intended to have their own line o
railway. Let the hon. member b
consistent and vote against a
steamship subsidies, let him vot
against the Tahiti line for instance
The outer districts were willing the
Honolulu should have the lion
share, but the Honolulu member
should not object TO the countr
getting a small share of publ
benefits. The hon. member fc
Honolulu surely would not say the
, were going to get their goods b
,, telegraph. Again, when were the
to have the telegraph anyway
.. Then it was desirable to facllital
travel to the Volcano hy tourists
Oahu could not show a volcano {
any account. The hon. member We
acting very unfairly. He did nj
: wonder the hon. member had lie
the room. Perhaps he did not enjo
the speakers remarks. AS he ha
only got half through he wouI
e move for recess.
Recess from IL to ! 80.
