The first item was the appropriation
for the Chicago Fair, amount to be
fixed by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs.
Minister Macfarlane stated that
when he was chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee he had COM
municated with the Minister of
Foreign Affairs. Nothing had been
done since then; but he could say un-
hesitatingly that the present financial
situation of the country would not JUS
tify expenditure of the amount asked
$4,000. He understood that it was
now almost too late to exhibit, and a
satisfactory exhibit could not be made
with less. He would suggest that the
item be deferred indefinitely.

ton to strike out.
Noble Thurston said this fiasco ha
been anticipated for some time. H
thought it a disgrace to the Hawaiia
nation TO have done as we have. Tn
thing had been killed by the ineffi
cheney of the Government. He agree
with the Minister that nothing cOul
now be done. He had understoo
from the Minister that he would rec
ommend the insertion of an item fC
the distribution. of literature. II
thought the band might be sent I
Chicago. IL would cost he believe
nothing, as the outlay would not b
more than 5000, and they would /
able TO take in that amount, If nc
more. a guarantee fund would /
necessary, however, so that the ban
might not be stranded there. Nothin
would advertise the Islands like th
band, except the presence of the Kin
or Queen. In San Francisco the ban
had attracted more attention than an
other, though doubtless there wei
number which played as welt. Il
would move the insertion of an itel
of Sc, 600 for the band and Distribute
of literature.
Rep. Kanealii favored the band 9,

Noble Narsden said it was impor
ant in times like these TO be carefl
how we appropriate money, but whe
there was a prospect of some retGr
it was different thing. The ban
would do more good, fifty times owe
than the exhibit. When he was

attractions. He supported the motion

IL was proper that the House Shoul

requested some appropriation for th
fair. II might be a good idea 10 sen

Rep. Iosepa favored that but though
they should not only take their bras
instruments, but their old native il
strumentS, such as 3 gourd which the
blow with the nose, etc. Let rhel
take the nose horn, the taro pate
Jewsharp, the ukeke, and sing natiy
songs, aud they will draw--they woul
create a sensation and no mistak
about it.
Minister Macfarlane supported Ii
item. Ii had been suggested that I'd
item was little too large, but goo
deal of il would come back in receip
by the band. Mr.. Thurston had r
ceiye1 letters which conveyed assn

believed the band would do more goo
than the exhibit.
