THE LEGISLATURE.
EIGHTY SEVENTH DAY.
MONDAY, Sept. II, 1892.
Morning Session.

Assembly convened at 10 o'clock
from adjournment of Friday morn
ing the 9th inst Prayer by Chap
lain Waiamau. Minutes of the pre-
vious meeting were read by Clerk
Mccarthy and Interpreter Wilcox
and, as usual, were approved
At 1902, President Walker an
nounced that he had received com
munication from Her Majesty,
which, on being read by Clerk
Mccarthy, proved to be an announce
ment that it had pleased Her Maj
esty to commission the following
gentlemen as members of the Cabi-
net: Hon. e. G. Macfarlane, Minister
of Finance; Hon. Samuel Parker,
Minister of Foreign Affairs; Charles
T. Gulick, Esq, Minister of Interior;
and Hon. Paul Neumann, Attorney
General. (There was some slight
applause on the announcement be-
ing made.)
The gentlemen named now enter
ed and occupied their chairs, and in
answer to question by President
Walker if they had taken the oath of
Office, Minister Macfarlane replied
in the affirmative.
Minister Macfarlane said: Her
Majesty has been pleased to
place the conduct of the adj
ministration in the hands of him
self and colleagues. 1t would be
their endeavor to gain and keep the
confidence of the members of the
Legislature and the people which
they represented. The Cabinet re-
cognized the fact that many of the
members were working here in the
interests of the country at a personal
sacrifice of both time and money.
In order to expedite the business of
the Assembly it was proposed to
take little time before the Cabinet
moved in any of the matters before
the House, and he would suggest
that an adjournment be had to such
time as may be satisfactory to the
members.
Noble Thurston said that thirteen
days ago the House exercised its
prerogative and voted out the Cabi-
net. He had no opposition to make
to that but the House had now
again an opportunity to exercise it's
rights and he considered that no
grant of time should be given. The
Cabinet propose to gather up the
threads dropped by the previous
Cabinet. He moved adjournment
until Wednesday to simply allow
opportunity for the members to con-
slider what course to adopt.
Rep. Kamauoha was in favor OF
an adjournment for one week. He
believed that it was only just to give
the new members of the Cabinet
that much time.
Rep. Kauhi favored the mo-
ton made by Noble Thurston that
adjournment be held only till We'd
nesday next. Three quarters of the
Ministers now newly appointed were
fully acquainted with the details OF
the business connected with theil
offices and the other quarter could
easily obtain information from his
colleagues, SO that an adjournment
for one week was not necessary.
Rep. Kanealii was in favor of adj
journment for one week. He con
sidered that it would be proper tc
have the House appoint committee
to draft reply to the communica
ton of Her Majesty and to state
that the Assembly had confidence il
the new Cabinet.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox moved al
amendment to the motion of Noble
Thurston to the effect that the
House adjourn until tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock. A weeks adj
journment was not necessary. TIL,
Queen had done as requested, now i
was the business of the House t,
show whether the new Minister
had their confidence or not. If h,
was the premier he would not asl
for delay but would go right on will
the work. He thought that tn,
Cabinet already showed signs o
weakness; they would have displayed
more strength if they had not ex
pressed wish for any delay.
Rep. Kaunamano favored week
adjournment. He believed that i
was the due of the new Cabinet t,
be granted that time if not more
The Attorney General (Neumann
had only been in Office twenty-sevel
hours previously and he probabl,
had been engaged during that tim
