TIE LEGISLATURE.
115TH DAY.
WEDNESDAY, Oct. %.
The House met at 10 O clock.

vides that all the territory, including
the bed of ocean, between lat. Ia
and 30 degrees N, and long. 1913
and 1870 W., shall constitute the
Hawaiian Kingdom.
Rep. Brown moved it be referred
to the committee on foreign rela-
tons. Carried.
Noble w. Y. Iorner moved q
resolution that the House shall re.
duce every item in the second and
third sections of the Appropriation
Bill one-third on third reading, ex-
cept items that have already become
law He said the estimates in the
first section were So, 200, but
the House had appropriated So
100000, or raised the estimates
100000 The estimates in the
third section were 81 ,54l 900, and
the revenue was 100000 short.
The change in the American tariff
threatened serious results to the
country, and another serious matter
staring them in the face was the
labor question.
Rep. Richard admitted the good
intention of the mover, but regard
ed the resolution as impracticable.
There were some very necessary
items in the third section which could
not we'll he reduced, while there
were others for the reduction of
which he would hold up both hands.
He moved that the resolution be laid
on the table.
Noble j. M. Horner was very sor-
nv the hon. member from Hamakua
could not answer the arguments in
support of the resolution. They
might get more money by reducing
the items. If they went on as they
had been doing, it would required
that they should borrow So, 500, 900.
This session they had to appropriate
100000 to pay interest, and where
would they come to if they did not
stop? AT that rate it would soon
take half the revenue to pay the
debt account.
Rep. Paehaole said the idea might
be very good, but the House could
reach the same end, if so minded,
without adopting this resolution.
He moved the previous question.
Carried.
Noble w. Y. Horner moved the
ayes and noes be called. Lost.
The resolution was laid on the
table.

On motion of Noble Cornwell, the
House proceeded to the order of the
day.
2 The steamship subsidy item, Sec
2 of the Appropriation Bill, ant
Rep. Browns amendment wer,
read.
Noble Cornwell moved that th,
amendment be indefinitely post
L poned.
!. Rep. R. w. Wilcox moved tina
. the amendment pass.
Rep. Pachaole opposed the amend
ment. The Tahiti line subsidy bill
had become law, and the amendmen
would conflict with that law. 1t wa
: a parallel case with the Auditor
y Generals salary, which they wer
u q told the other day could not be re
duced without amending the law.
: Rep. Hookano was in favor of tn
: amendment, but feared the amour
would not be sufficient. He mOve'
to strike out the words, according
to the tonnage" for if paid by tina
. the fund would be exhausted lon
# before the end OF the period; ais
he moved to amend the amount t
$4,000.
NJ Rep. Nawahi was glad to Sc
., members coming to the same min
d on the steamship question. Tn
IL amount in the bill was too small
and he would move $4,000. II
n related instances of profit to peopl
f. here from bananas sent by the Sa
I. Diego line. His hobby was steam
II, ship lines, he having always vote
s. for them. He hoped members woul
V. sink their prejudices and deal in
partially with all lines.
=, Noble Widemann's chief objectio
VI VI to the San Diego line subsidy VIZ
~ that the steamer would only carr
"a about ten lunches of HIlo banana
n He had no prejudice against the pre-
st ject, but objected to substituting sue
washtub as had been put on til
route. If the company had put G
rs decent steamer he would hay
OF voted for subsidy. The matter WI
OF not brought before the House in al
VI such manner as would give them col
y tidence in the enterprise. The Hou
w had already disposed of the matt
y twice, and now-''Oh, consistenc
thou art a jewel !"-the hon. mel
or Der for the first district wanted
" this amendment to reverse what hi
re been done, and let the Minister +
al there and pay the subsidies as
he pleased. He would prefer TO vii
ot the subsidies out altogether than
IN vote for the amendment.
