RESOLUTIONS.
Noble Baldwin presented a resOlu-
ton calling for holding of evening
sessions on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday evenings The House had
been sitting six months. Even with
evening sittings, the session would
last well into December. There we're
sixty bills to act on, besides the APP
preparation bill, most of which had
been reported on.
Rep. Bush did not favor the motion.
1t would hardly be possible to get a
quorum at night. The delay had
principle, which had not been ac-
knowledged yet by the Sovereign. 1t
was enough to work all day.
Rep. Ashford also opposed the reso-
luton. He agreed with the last
speaker that members who attended
all day had done enough for the dear
people. Moreover, he opposed these
particular days, because they were
Appropriation bill days, and all the
members would not be able to be
there.
Rep. Smith favored the motion. The
objection came with very poor grace
from two members whose seats had
been vacant oftener and longer than
those of any other two members of
the House. If the resolution were
adopted it could be amended or
rescinded, il it did not work well. 1t
had always been the practice to have
Il few evening sessions, and 4 point
had now been reached when work
would be facilitated thereby.
Rep. Iosepa opposed having night
sessions, and suggested that the House
do its work from AN. until PM.
daily. That would facilitate work.
He wanted to know whether the Off
GERS of the House would receive extra
pay for doing night work.
Rep. Kapahu was not in favor OF
the resolution. He considered its
purport was to bring the session to q
close soon, because delay would be in
furious to them. He moved to lay
the resolution on the table, but after
wards withdrew the motion.
Noble Pua moved to indefinitely
tho rnCD1ntinn bppanSp q hi
sessions simply encourage smoking.
Rep. Bipikane said that day SEES
sion was favorable to God, while ;
night session was for the devil. He
moved the previous question.
The resolution was indefinitely
postponed.
Rep. Bush introduced the following
resolutions:
Resolved, that the Minister of In
terror is hereby instructed to appoin
new inspectors of election for thu
Third Precinct of the District of Hilo
and to proceed without further delay
with the election on the day alread.
advertised for that district.
The intrOducer said he had heart
that morning that it was the intention
of the Cabinet to authorize the pro
clamation of a new election for Hllo
and also that the Puma Board SHOULD
retain their seats. Mr.. Nawahi ha'
filed his petition in due time, and one
vote was sufficient to elect him, be
cause he had no rival. He held tina
this was trickery by public officials
because on the 18th of November TIL
Hilo Board of Inspectors suddenly re
signed Judges Lyman and Hapa
were unworthy of public trust, anC
should be removed. The work t
Illustrate man who has no compeu
ton was breach of trust, and shoul'
be condemned.
Minister Brown said that tn
Cabinet had decided to issue new
proclamation 1t was Il great SUI
prise to the Cabinet when tn
news was received on Satur
day that the Board of Inspectors a
Hilo had all resigned. The groun'
of resignation was, that they had no
sufficient time to do all that the Law
required, rs the notice was only re
ceived at Hilo on 18th instant, fitteel
DAYS before the election. He had ad
yised the Minister of Interior to lssu
a new proclamation. He thought, il
Justice to all, n new proclamation
should be issued, and the news woul
