The LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.
Ninety nth Day,

proved.
Rep. Richard on suspension OF the
rules presented the following resolution
Whereas, the opening of the meeting OF
the Planters Labor and Supply Com
pany takes place to-day, and whereas
many Of the members Of this House are
members OF and interested in the said
Planters Labor and Supply Company,
and are DESTROYS OF attending the said
meeting, which is OF Importance to
them, and in fact the country at large
the business thereof being in the provi
sions for and discussions on the leading
and principal industries OF the Kingdom,
Resolved, that we adjourn the business
OF this House until 10 A NJ. on Thursday
OF this week.
Noble Baldwin offered as an amend
ment that the House adjourn to Wednes-
day at 10 A. NJ. He thought the business
could be done in that time. The term
OF the Supreme Court opened this
morning, and the lawyers who are mem
bers OF the House are not in their
places. The Attorney-General will also
be absent.
Rep. Waipuilani moved the resolution
be laid on the table. Rep. Richard had
always opposed adjournment. This
thing would never stop; We would have
some members coming in next week and
ask the House to adjourn because they
wanted to attend the meeting of some
evangelical association.
Rep. Richard said he had always OPP
posed adjournment. This was a meeting
of men interested in the industries
which are the life of this Kingdom. He
introduced the resolution in good faith.
He accepted the amendment Of Noble
Baldwin.
Rep. Kanealii favored adjourning to
Wednesday. When the planters got
together they might contribute the
money to relieve His Majesty. There
are more than ten sugar planters in the
House, and the request is reasonable
one. The House may get some valuable
suggestions and information. What
lawyers we have in this House did not
ask leave, but 60 to court and attend to
their private business without asking
L would be willing to give them a week.
Noble Isenberg favored the motion to
lay on the table The business of this
House is of more importance than the
Planters Labor and Supply Company.
The Company could do nothing if the
House did not provide laws for supplying
labor. Those members of this House who
want to attend the meeting should be
granted leave.
Noble Baldwin said what the hon
noble had said was one reason why they
should adjourn. There was a great
difference of opinion among the planters
as to whether they should take Chinese
under contract. He was opposed to it,
but had now come to the conclusion that
they would have to take them under
contract. There are thirteen planters in
the House.
Noble Isenberg - Why cannot the
planters hold evening sessions? l move
the previous question. Carried.
The resolution was laid on the table
II to Is.

by 500 Honolulu school boys praying

sale of tobacco to children under sixteen
years of age. Laid on the table to be
considered with bills on the subject.
Noble Pua read a petition signed by
$50 lepers on Molokai, praying that
Superintendent T. f. Evans and his
assistant be removed for a number Of
reasons. He moved it be referred to a
select committee.
Rep. Waipuilani moved it be referred
to the Molokai Committee.
Noble Widemann did not think the
House should take action on every petit
ton that was presented to it. He could
lister of the Interior, and if he finds the
complaints are good, he could remove
the Superintendent.
Rep. kapaehaole thought the House
could take action. 1t should be LEFT
| with the Board of Health.
Noble Pua withdrew his motion tC
refer to a select committee, and favored
reference to the Molokai Committee.
Noble Widemann would advise Rep
Kapaehaole to get at the bottom of what
was said before he answered it.
Rep. Nawahi favored either reference
| to committee or the Minister of the In
| terror. Some attention should be paiC
to the petition.
Noble Marsden moved the previou,
question.
Rep. White said he had the floor.
The previous question was put ant

Noble Marsden first.
