ton to the present law was that We
put premium on smuggling and
then punished the owners of vessels
tor the offense. He would save the
Minister Of Finance from the dis
erection mentioned The Minister
hal exercised the discretion in
different instances but got no credit
for it.
Minister Brown would like TO re-
ply to some new arguments intro
duced that day. 1t had been stated
in public print that an opium ring
dominated the country and that the
Ministry was implicated in it. Yet
notwithstanding committee had
been searching for evidence since
the session opened nothing had been
discovered. The hon. Noble had
said that the opium prohibition de-
moralized the country. That was
true and this bill was the evidence
of how far the decentralization had
gone. No good reasons had been
given since yesterday to change the
decision of the House and there was
little use in further discussion.
Rep. Kauhi moved the previous
question, and Rep. White that the
ayes and noes he called on indeli-
mite postponement, both motions
being carried.
The ayes and noes were called
with The following result:
Ayes Ministers Cummins, Brown,
and Peterson; Mobiles Pna, j. Nj.
and w. Y. Horner, Anderson, and
Won Tempsky; Reps. Cummings,
kauhi, Nawahi, Baker, A. Horner,

Noble Baldwin, on being called,
asked to be excused, as he believed
there was an injustice in the present
law, but he did not wish TO record
his vote in any way to assist the
introduction of opium in the land.
With some alterations he would vote
for this bill, but not in its present
shape.
Noble Marsden, on being called .
second time, asked to be excused
for the same reason as that given by
Noble Baldwin.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox also voted
doubtful on the second call.
All three were excused.
The foregoing vote was announced
and the bill declared indefnitcl,
postponed.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox moved recon
sideraton of the vote indefinitely
postponing the bill to transfer tn,
Island of Kahoolawe to the Distric
of Wailuku. Carried.
Rep. Kalua moved the bill pass
The public and private relations 0.
the island were closer to Waluk,
than to Lahaina.
Rep. Nawahi moved the bill b,
indefinitely postponed. The islant
now belongs to Lahaina and III
good reason had been given for th
change. There had been no trial
arising on the island to be taken T.
either Wailuku or Lahaina. The,
ought not to make laws without an,
reason being given. The people O
Kahoolawe had not asked for thi
bill. Coming from Kahoolawe t
Waikiki was like going up hill
while to Lahaina there was leadin
wind both ways.
Noble Won Tempsky saw no req
son for arguing over this paltry bill
He would not reply to Rep. Nawah
who knew nothing about the ma
ter. He moved the previous que'
ton which carried.
The bill passed to engrossment,
be read third time tomorrow.
