the pay of Representatives was taken
from the table and made the order
of the day for next Wednesday.
On motion the House took up the
consideration of the Appropriation
Bill and deferred items in Section l
wore considered.
The first item was that of ''Ha-
waiian Exhibit at the Columbian
Exposition, $4,000
Minister Macfarlane said that I'M
der the present financial condition
of the country it would not be ex-
pedient to pass the amount asked
for, viz, $4,000. The position OF
the Government to-day in the mat
ter of finances would not warrant
such expenditure. Another thing
: which he would bring to their notice
|. was that the time had now gone sc
far by that no satisfactory exhibition
could be made. He was informed
that it was the feeling now that NJ
exhibition should be made and ht
would therefore suggest that the
item be deferred indefinitely.
Noble Marsden said that it would
be impossible for the Government
to get the money to use for thi
: item. 1t was too late to make
satisfactory exhibition. He movet
that the item be struck out.
l Noble Thurston said that this o
l some similar winding up of the Chi
y cago fiasco had been foreshadowe'
3 for some time. 1t was disgracefu
