pended Report signed by MOBILES
Nenmann and Peterson, and Reps.
Smith and White.
Motions being made 10 Law on the
table and 10 adopt the report, a
lengthy discussion eDsned on these
questions, the bNne OF contention
being the petition Of the Wilder's
Steamship Co. and Others for raim-
eurssmenf az certain sums advanced
for work on the Volcano road. The
Hons. Neumann, Widemann, Smith,
Thurston and Others contending thai
The claim was Just and legal, and
should be p3id, while Hon. kamau-
oha- WAipuilani. Nawahi and Others
suggested different view.
Noble Thurston charged Minister
Widemann with Claring inconsist-
sncy in supporting the payment of
The claim Of these petitioners al
though be had opposed ii bitterly two
years ago. He claimed this showed
that his action nj that time was die
tRted by personal prejudice
Minister Widemann admitted he
had fought the claim with ali his
force two wears ago, but the House
hRd differed from him, and he bowed
10 the viii Of the House.
Minister Spencer being called for
by Rep. ksuhi, said he would say a
few words Shortly after taking Office
he had ordered The work stopped on
the Volcano road. He had never con-
scented 10 the work going on, DOR did
he know il WAS going on, until Mr..
Arnold reported the fact 10 him. He
had discharged Mr.. Rowe14. because
he had not carried out orders in that
particular As for this petition he
favored 1t. Those advancing the
money showed a commendable public
spirit, and he should vote TO adopt
the report.
NDRIS 1uUTSI91 SAlQs ~ MI. ES0NEQ
was not present, it was only fair that
q statement be made in his behalf, q
definite charge having been made
against him. This was the first time
he had ever heard Of any reason being
given for his discharge Mr.. Rowell
had told him at the time that the
persons who had made the advances
would not make any more unless the
Minister endorsed IL. He went 10 the
Minister, who told him 10 go ahead
with the work. The work went on
for three months with Us men on il.
Everybody in the country and ia the
House knew it was going on.
Noble Macfarlane said the matter
narrowed itself down 10 the question
whether the Minister had authorized
that work. The Minister said be had
not. The discussion of last session
ought TO have settled the question
against the advancing Of money for
Government work for which there
WIS no appropriation. The House
would, Of course, pay all just claims,
and be favored paying these at the
proper time. He hoped the next time
such a thing came up the parties
would not get their money, and the
Cabinet have TO take the response
bility.
