ed one more half-hour. Carried.
Rep. White, continuing, said that
it would be we'll to know what kind
of a policy the supporters of the re-
solution wanted. The Registration
Bill was offered as a cause of com
plant but it was not yet a law. He
then at 500 moved recess until 7:30

Noble Marsden moved recess until

Assembly rose.
Evening Session.
The Assembly reconvened from
recess at 7:0i p. IN. and discussion of
the resolution of want of confidence
was continued,
Rep. White continued his speech,
and said; he considered that the part
of the resolution relating to the
hostility said to be existing between
the head of the Cabinet and Ameri-
can Minister should be struck out.
As regarded the actions of the Mar
shall it was we'll known that the Mar
shall, in a great many ways, was a
very efficient man. Relative to opium
seizures it was only few days ago
that opium was seized on board the
barl1entine S. n. Castle and marked
with the initials of prominent firm
&C. a. c." He did not think that
the resolution was well grounded
and would advocate that the mem
bers looked well before taking leap
in the dark. The Cabinet have not
had time yet to show what they can
do. The Cabinet have the confidence
of the public as was we'll shown in
the late election and also by the
supplying of funds by the business
people to assist the Government
during the past month. The fact
that the Cabinet made statements at
late political meeting and said that
they we're against annexation had an
effect. That statement secured the
election of Messrs. Hopkins and
Male by the Hawaiian voters. There
are some 20 of the members of this
House who favor ceding, by lease, a
portion of Pearl Harbor to the
United States. But when that lease
is up the United States will not go
away, she will remain and you can
not get her away.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox objected to the
speaker having any more time.
Rep. White continued saying that,
to allow any leasing of Pearl River
would be the old story of the Arab
and the camel, the neck and head of
the camel was permitted entrance
the body came in soon afterwards.
Minister Macfarlane-Mr. Presi-
dent: | have been waiting patiently
to hear something from the foreign
members of this House with regard
to why this Cabinet should be voted
out. The resolution has been before
this House the whole day and part
of the night, and we have heard
from no one of the foreign members
except the Noble from Maui. We
have heard from several native mem
bers, but not one word from the for
eign members of this House as to
why the Cabinet should go out
That was my reason for delaying
making any remarks until | had
heard the accusations of the foreign
members of this House as to why
this Cabinet did not enjoy their
confidence. Scarcely two weeks
have passed when a similar resolu,
ton was introduced into this House
aud discussion took place for two
days, when the Ministry were sus-
tanned. Since that time special cleo
ton has been held in this country
and the only issue before the coun-
try during that campaign was the
question of the Ministry. No other
issue was brought forward, and the
result was an overwhelming major
ity for the candidates in support OF
the Ministry. Now | say with re,
gard to the statements made in this
House to-day, by those members who
} have spoken as to why this Cabinet
should go out, that | will leave those
gentlemen to justify their position
with their constituents who returned
: this Ministry back to this House.
