Afternoon Session.


The House re-assembled at l :35.
Rep. MARQUES rose TO question OF
privilege. He desired to tender his
resignation from all committees on
which Noble Baldwin is on.
President Walker-You cannot do so
without consent of the House.
Rep. Marques cannot be forced to
serve.
The House proceeded with the con-
sideration OF the item, landings and
buoys, general, $4,000.
The amendment proposed by Noble
Mccarthy was lost.
The item passed as in the bill,
Lighthouses, So, 600; passed.
Steam Tug, SIS, 800; passed.
Dredging Honolulu Harbor, SIS, 600;
passed.
Roads and Bridges, Hawaii, S34 800.
Noble Naciarlane-I ask if some OF the
members OF the Island OF Hawaii cannot
see the way TO reducing this item. The
Appropriation Bill is being increased 10
an alarming extent.
Rep. Kahookano-I think the Noble
should help to reduce the appropriations
on the Island OF Oahu before he begins
TO talk about Hawaii.
Noble Maciarlane-I propose TO fight
every item in the bill where l think
reduction can be made. II there was
conspiracy to attack the independence OF
this country it could not be more etfec-
lively carried out than by piling up this
Appropriation Bill. The news received
to-day from the Coast regarding tariff
matters is not encouraging by any
means In talking with the native
members, they say if the appropriations
cannot be met, let US borrow.
Rep. Kahookano said the hon. Noble
was wandering from the subject before
the House.
Noble Maclarlane-I am not doing so.
l have asked the members from Hawaii
to reduce this item.
Rep. Paehaole-I don't see what all
this talk from the hon Noble has to DO
with the item Roads and Bridges. l
have q desire to keep the sum total OF the
Appropriation Bill down; but it is poor
policy to reduce on this very. necessary
item. The hon. Noble, when the Civil
list was no did not vote for any reduc-
ton. Why didn't he vote for reduc-
ton OF the item for His Majesty's Cham
berlain, $1,000
Noble Macfarlane-The remarks OF the
representative about the Civil list, and
the Chamberlain are not worthy OF
notice. am making an honest effort 10
reduce the Appropriation Bill to legiti-
mate proportions.
Rep Rickard-I am in favor OF econO-
my, but with this particular item l do
not think it is the proper place TO econo-
mize. This item Is not too much for the
requirements.
Noble Isenberg- ! am very pleased
with Noble Macfarlane's remarks.
hope he will feel the same way when the
Tahiti subsidy comes up. 1t is a swindle.
I was surprised at his voting this morn
ing to bring up the San Diego swindle
again. Roads and bridges We must have.
Anyone who has travelled on the island
Of Hawaii knows that the roads are in
miserable condition He moved the pre-
vious question. Carried
