Rep. kalua considered it did not
look well to discuss the matter. he
moved the House go on the regular
afternoon train.
Noble Crabbe said their cxcur-
sion would interfere with the picnic
of Co. a. Let every member pay
for his ticket.
Rep. Nawahi objected to the ex-
cursiOn going at 3 O'Clock. II was
too late to see the country, and the
liability to accident was greater.
Legislators were too valuable com
moiity to be imperiled.
Rep. Bush thought the House
should take the whole day for it.
Those who did not wish to 90 could
engage in committee work.
Rep. Marques thought it would
not he just TO ask for special
train.
Rep. Paehaolc wanted to make
day of it.
Noble Widemaun considered too
much time was being wasted over
tr fling matter, and moved the pre-
vious question. Carried.
After some discussion on what
the motions were, the resolution
passed with q rider that the excur-
sion be by the S:t5 n. IN. train.
Noble Marsden was appointed

lingham.
ORDER or THE DAY.
The House went into committee
Of the whole, Rep. Kauhi in the
chair, for the consideration of the
Appropriation Bill.
Interior Department, continued.
Forests, Parks, Nurscries-Main-
teuance of nurseries, $4,000.
Noble Phillips moved it be referr-
ed to special committee. 1t seem
ed to him this was not enough. The
keeper of the nursery lived in a
hovel, worse than some hon. gentle
men have for their horses.
Rep. Richard supported refer
ence, not only on account Of poor
accommodation for the nurseryman,
but because of the importance of the
object. In all European countries
nurseries were maintained for pro-
pagating plants for the public bene
fit. The Importance here was en-
HANGED by the policy of settling
homesteads adopted by this country.
Rep. Waipuilaui wanted details.
Minister Spencer said the item
was based on expenditure Of the
past session. Mr.. Jaeger, who had
charge of the nursery, had recon-
mended no increase. He (the Min
lster) had already given orders TO
have the house of the keeper repair
ed. He moved the item pass as in
the bill. Rep. Waipuiani was further
Informed that the forest on the hill
belonged to the establishment, that
the nursery was on Government
land, and that MIR. Purvis was not
assisted by it in his cinchona e1pe
riment in Hamakua, but had spe-
cial appropriation.
Noble Marsden supported refer
ence TO special committee, urging
the Importance of experimental
work, in order to promote diversi-
fed agriculture for honesteads and
plantations.
Noble Mccarthy thought the item
might appropriately be referred tc
committee on item for repairs to pub
lie buildings. The hot house at the
nursery was of little or no use as il
stood and occupied ground that
might be utilized TO more purpose
| Noble Burchardt found from the
Interior Report that a great dea
had been done in distributing plant:
throughout the islands. Out of q
thousand plants he had himself dis,
tributed among natives, only twelve
or fifteen had thrived. He though,
there was no reason to increase the
appropriation on account of the for
estry part.
| Noble Baldwin did not consider
there was reason for any increase il
the nursery was TO be conducted OF
the same scale as in the past. Blu
he would advocate more being cone
by the Government in this line. The
country could not afford to 60 into
it on large scale, but there wer,
many new industries that might bt
started If the Government did lit
tie experimenting. For these rea
sons he was in favor of referring tn,
item to committee. He believed
in encouraging small farms which
would provide class that woulC
give backbone to the country. There
are superior varieties of pineapple
to those generally cultivated here
but private persons of small mean
could not 60 to Brazil to look VI
these desirable varieties. This wa
true Of other products. He was il
favor of an increase and would lik
to see the matter referred 10 com
mittee.
Rep. Bush had been in favor o
, passing the item as in the bill unit
, he had heard the enthusiastic re
marks of the hon. Noble from Maui
J The speaker had seen superio
pineapples in Samoa, slice 0
, which would sell for 25c. in Sa
/ Francisco. He referred to the grea
} possibilities Of cultivating olives an
other products, and supported refer
ence to q committee.
