and bill be made the Order of the
Day for next Tuesday.

port of the committee be adopted.
Rep. White considered that the
motion was very foolish one. This
Constitutional convention was Just
what the Hawaiians desired, as
evinced by the numerous petitions
presented in favor of it. He thought
the motion should be withdrawn
and the matter be left for considera-
ton by members in Committee of
the Whole.
Noble Young said that his reason
for making the motion was to save
time. They had been in session now
over eight months and as he was OPP
posed to the bill and would vote
against it he desired to have the
matter settled.
Rep. Waipuilani said that the bill
had been ordered to be considered
as the special Order of the Day for
tomorrow, therefore it was not pro-
per to move on the presentation of
this minority report that it be
adopted.

for consideration with the bill on
Tuesday next.
Rep. Waipuilani introduced mo-
ton that the Minister of the Interior
be instructed to cause the publica

publishing them, viz, the BULLETIN

that Ka Leo, Gazette and Kuoko5

Noble Ena desired to Withdraw
the amendment presented by him a
the last discussion, and insteat
moved that the section be referred

Rep. Ashford said that he had n,

would say that there were partie
now legally established in the bust
ness in this city and he believed il

some proviso for the purchase O
their plant. He had no opposition
to the section being referred to
committee, but if a report was re

would oppose it. Il.

eminent was interested.
