Commerce, reported on bill No. s.. an
Act to grant a franchise to the Hawaiian
Gas Company. The committee see no
objection to the bill as it does not gave

! laid on the table to be considered with

committee on the petition to pay the In
ter-Island Steam Navigation Company
| 81, ,15S.73 for work done to the wharf at
| Kailua, Hawaii. The committee recon-
mend that the amount be inserted in tie
Appropriation Bill. The report was
signed by Waipuilani, Mccarthy. Rice
and Paehaole.
Noble Macfarlane did not feel that he
could sign the report as he was not sure
that the principle was correct
Noble Widemann had been under the
impression that the wharf was built 0y
the l. l. S. y. Co., but now he found that
it was another work OF ThurSton the
Great. Just think Of this great mana

a common beggar borrowing money all
over the town. He read 4 list OF the
amounts borrowed by this great man"
! Ministerial responsibility in the hands Of
Mr.. Thurston was not worth five cents.
Rep. Rickard moved that the report of
the committee be adopted. Il was verv
amusing to hear Noble Widemann talk
when the name OF ThurstOn came up.
Thurston served the purpose OF the
scrapegoat mentioned in Scripture, he
carries off many OF the troubles that this
House would have to bear. The late
Minister of the Interior did this busi-
ness with the best of motives and for the
interests of the country. Mr. Thurston
is gentleman-above anything tending
to dishonesty. | have much respect for
him. As Minister there was a margin
of power vested in him. This wharf was
built for the benefit Of the people in the
district of Kona
Noble Widemann-He has broken the
laws, as l have charged him. 1t IS said
the name of Thurston to me IS Ike red
rag to bull. l certainly do not ike the
name OF Thurston. He was more IN mis-
chief and corruption than any other NOR
tai man. Gibson was not q patch on the
finger nail to Thurston.
Rep. Paehaole moved that the re-
port be laid on the table. TO be con-
sidered with the Appropriation Bill He
hoped Noble Widemann and Rep
Rickard had settled their differences,
and the work OF the House would 90 on

Rep. Bush presented the following
resolution: That whereas the present
Ministry has not satisfied this House
that they have any declared policy or
platform OF principles 10 present before
this House, or before this country; and
whereas the action Of the Cabinet. since
they have been in Office, has been OF 4
vacillating character. therefore be IL
resolved that the pgesent Cabinet no
longer retains the confidence 0f The
House.
The hon. member, in support Of the
resolution, said it speaks Tor Itself.
After patiently waiting two or three
months for some defined policy from the
Ministers, none has vet been declared
They have been weak and vacillating,
and have voted every way. They have
never declared any policy on the immi-
grafton question. They have been IN.

Rep. r. W.Wilcox was in favor Of the
