Rep. Il. w. Wilcox asked permits
sion OF the Assembly to withdraw the
resolution presented by him and
which was the Order of the Day for
this day, viz: That a committee of
five members of the Assembly he ap-
pointed TO visit Washington to in
quire into matters relative to the
cession of Pearl Harbor.
The member considered that no
business of so important nature
should be transacted while the pre-
sent Cabinet was in office.
Noble Neumann said that if such
was the reason for the withdrawal he
would oppose leave being granted.
If it was desired to withdraw on ac-
count of the resolution being impro-
perly before the Assembly or on ac-
count of defects in construction he
would favor the request.
Rep. Robert Wilcox said that the
reason was as stated by him. 1t was
important that the measure be dis
cussed before a Cabinet having the
confidence of the people.
Noble Macfarlane regretted very
much that the resolution could not
be discussed on its merits. The
action of the member from Waialua
showed plainly that he was aware
that the resolution would be indef-
nitely postponed if it was presented
to the House and that without much
discussion. We find that the mem
Der from Walalua having lost the
confidence of the native Hawaiians
desires TO withdraw his resolution.
The action was an acknowledgment
that he has no longer that power
which he formerly possessed. De-
sired that it 90 on record that he OPP.
posed the withdrawal but desired the
discussion of the matter, so that an
expression of sentiment could be
presented against the faction which
the resolution represented, and which
faction was endeavOring to engineer
something through that was opposed
by the community.
The remainder Of this mornings
report is deferred for want Of space.
Mr.. Wilcox was allowed to withdraw
his resolution. AT noon the House
adjourned till 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning out of respect TO the
memory of A. j. Cartwright.
