The above item was passed by
the exertions of Minister Neumann,
Noble Marsden favoring reduction
to nearly $50 per month or $1,000 for
the term, giving as his reason that
the present state of the country's
finances demands reduction through
out all salaries.
Incidentals Civil and Criminal
Expenses, $4,000.
The item elected considerable
talk induced by the presentation of
a statement of ex-Attorney- General
Whiting, showing that there was
$4,000 more spent during the last
term than was appropriated.
Rep. Smith considered that $4,000
was sufficient, Minister Neumann
said that according to the statement
presented by Noble Marsden there
must be bills owing by the depart
ment to the amount of over $4,000
and of which he had no present
knowledge. He desired that con-
sideration of the item would be de-
ferred until he could present some
statement.
Noble Thurston said that he had
never known of so disgraceful a
showing. He endeavored to cauter-
ize the acknowledgements Depart
ment and wound up by introducing
resolution, or amendment, that
''no portion of which amount shall
be used for hack hire"
After some further talk, but no
argument, the item was deferred
until Monday next.
Coroners' Inquests, $500.
Coroners' Inquests unpaid period
ending March 81, $l7O.
Support, maintenance and care of
prisoners, $4,000; VIZ laid over until
Monday.
An item of $4,000 for expenses of
foreign tour of Princess Kaiulani
was considered in connection with
two reports "a majority and minor
ity) of the Committee of Ways and
Means. The majority report was
read. 1t recommended that the
amount be struck out. The minority
report favored $4,000.
Noble Marsden considered that at
the present stage of affairs the coun-
try could not afford the money. Be
sides the Princess was too young
yet to be able to obtain the advan-
tages resulting from an European
tour. 1t would be better if the mat
ter was deferred a few years.
Noble Thurston could hardly be-
lieve that any one in the House
really favored this item. 1t was said
that her father was herding this
item and trying to get it passed.
Someone said he must have soften
ing of the brain to think of such a
thing at this time, when the pay OF
poor policemen and other public
servants were being cut down, and
the Minister of Finance was scratch.
ing around to meet the daily with.
drawals from the Postal Savings
Bank. If Mr.. Cleghorn wished tc
send the little Princess through Eu,
rope let him send her himself and
pay for it out of his own pocket. He
did not think that it would be of any
benefit to her at her age to be parad
ing around the country. If it was Of
no benefit to her then il would not
be to Hawaii.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox (the introducel
of the billy was inclined now to think
that it would be better if the amount
was not appropriated. He had heard
that it was the intention of hel
father to go along. When he got
abroad people would see that he was
only just a common Scotchman
They would then question relative
to the standing of the Royal Family
of Hawaii when one of it's member:
would marry common Scotchman
Her father had better stay at home
and not display himself. 1t would
be advisable for the Princess t.
travel through portions of the ole
world with her tutors.
Rep. Nawahi said that Rep. vii
cox had given a fair sample of hi,
character for being double-faced
That member had brought in the
resolution asking for this amount
and now he goes bacL on it.
