ment; leaving port here on July 2
and returning again July 4.
On motion of Rep. Smith the com
munication was accepted and the
Clerk ordered to return a proper re-
ply, conveying the thanks of the
Assembly and saying that the matter
! would receive further attention
At 1880, on motion, the Assem-.
bly, resolved into Committee of the
Whole, Rep. Smith in the chair, and
proceeded to consider items in the
Appropriation Bill.
Minister Parker moved that a new
item be inserted in the Department
Of Foreign Affairs, to wit, "Ex-
penses OF Hawaiian Exhibit at Chi
cago Fair, -" Carried, and
item was then referred to the con-
sideration of the Committee on For
eign Relations.
Two deferred items Envoy at
Washington SIP, 00O," and "Clerical
aid and expenses of Legation $4,000"
attracted the attention Of the Com
mittee.
Minister Parker was DESTROYS of
having the item discussed but
thought it might best be considered
by comhIittee. He did not think
the salary was any too large, but it
was best for the House to know the
incumbent was the right man in the
right place.
Noble Walker did not think that
the personality of the incumbent
should be discussed. 1t was neces-
sary to have representative at
Washington. He would move that
the item pass as presented.
Noble rhurston approved of the
sentiments of the previous speaker.
1t was very necessary to have rep.
resentative at Washington now. In
easier times in the past 1t may not
have made so much difference, but
now we needed some one to push our
interests. We were now in the dol
drums Of political life and needed
assistance. Favored the item as
presented.
Minister Widemann read from the
report of the Minister of Foreign AT.
fairs to show the protest entered by
the late Hon. II. A. p. Carter against
the action of the United States,
which was like the speech of the
lamb to the lion, the little to the
or at, yet it was very necessary and
did do some little good America
was our nearest and dearest neighbor
and we should cultivate the friend
liest of relations and retain our rep
resentative at headquarters.
The Chair asked what would be
the effect if we were to withdraw our
representative from Washington?
Noble Marsden (horrfied) War 4!
Mr.. Chairman, war and, just think
of it, war i'll our present condition |!
Look at the state of our army! We
must pass this appropriation, Mr..
Chairman (Laugh ter.)
Minister Widemann said the mem
bers seemed to be most DESTROYS TO
discuss the personality of the pres,
ent incumbent. If he was not salts
factory he would have to quit and
make room for some one else. But
that was not now the question.
Rep. Kamauoha said that when the
item was presented the other day
there was no information obtainable,

although no further information had
been presented the same members
were DESTROYS of passing the item.
lie had read in the newspapers that
our envoy at Washington was work
ing IN favor of annexation. If that
was so then there was trouble ahead.
We learn that if he is, the Ministry
have no knowledge of it, and he,
Mr.. j. Mott smith, seems to be
working on his own hook. No one
could tell how long the present Cabi-
net would stay in, and if our repre-
sentative abroad was injuring us he
should not be allowed to stay. Moved
reference to the Ways and Means
Committee.
Rep. White said that II great many
people were taking interest in this
question, and information had been
obtained that the representative is
working against the interests of every
Hawaiian in the Kingdom. A new
Cabinet in favor of annexation may
be formed and they will find u str ng
support for their annexation schemes
in the man at Washington. He be-
lieved in referring the item to a COM
mittee. Let them investigate and
report. Walls have cars and it had
been reported that lately several
Cabinets have been formed, in which
Hawaiians were entirely ignored.
Hoped the foreigners would not pre-
cipitate vote on this question.
Minister Parker stated that he was
in favor of reference to the Ways
and Means Committee.
Noble ThurstOn was opposed tC
reference, he thought the idea ridi
eulous.
Minister Widemann stated that
Minister j. Mott Smith had been q
friend of his for thirty-four or thirty
five years. He considered the Minis,
ter too prudent man to make tho
statements mentioned in the inter.
views. IL he did make any such ut
terances as those ascribed he haC
done so absolutely without the know
| ledge of the Cabinet, they knew
