Afternoon session.
FOURTEENTH DAY.

A inclusive printed and ready fol
distribution.
Noble Neumann from the Judici-
airy Committee reported on bills Nos.
81 and 20 relating to contracts OF
laborers. The committee drew at.
tention to the bills being similar in
intended application although pur-
porting to amend different laws.
They present new bill which they
recommend to take the place of the
bills presented and that it be placed
on the table for future consideration.
Report approved.
Other reports we're presented from
the same committee, TO wit, CD on
bill relating to the repeal of present
and the re-enacting of former laws
relating to Governors. The COM
mittee was of opinion that the bill
could not become valid as drawn.
On motion report was accepted and
bill returned to introducer for COR
rection. (2) On bill No. 20, to grant
power to notaries to take acknow-
ledgment of articles Of adoption.

proper to invest notarles with the
judicial functions which the act
would be endowed with. They re-
commend that the bill be laid on the
table. Report adopted. (3) On bill
No. %, relating to the terms of the
Third Judicial Circuit Court, the
committee recommended that the bill
be placed on the table until the in
PRODUCTION of proposed amendment
which the committee would present.

81, relating to the licensing of tailor
shops, the committee recommend
that the bill be laid on the table un-
til one of more general scope is in
troduced Approved.
Under suspension of the rules bill
No. 3S, "to appropriate the sum of
$4,000 for the furthering of the
completion of the Volcano Road"
was taken from the table, read a
second time and, after escaping re-
ference to special committee or to
Judiciary Committee for change in
the enacting clause, it was passed to
engrossment, and for third reading
on Thursday, June 10th.
Rep. Ashford presented to the
Minister Of Interior question whe-
Their he had or not received petition
under Section 1874 of the Civil Code
and praying for the extension of Fort
street frem School to Punchbowl. If
such petition had been received what
was the present statusP
Rep. Ashford gave notice of inten-
tion-''if he was spared"-of bill
to better define the practice in jury
trials.
Noble j. M. Homer offered res
olution that special committee be
appointed for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the best way to reduce the
current expenses of the Government
and how to increase the revenue of
the country.
Noble Marsden favored the resolu
ton. He was in favor of reductions
but he considered that the Assembly
should make reductions intelligently,
the members should know what they
were doing. Only yesterday they
had after much argument accom-
plished, as was then considered,
quite saving by reducing the num-
Der of circuit judges ON Hawaii. He
had since ascertained that those
judges held commissions for three
years, and the House had had no
knowledge of that fact.
Rep. Iosepa considered he was
right in quoting Abraham Lincoln S
saying that it was not wise "to swap
horses in the middle of a stream. :"
He was of opinion that the members
could handle the matter of reduc-
tions without placing their burden on
any select committee. He advocated
the consideration of the necessary
reductions by the Assembly, but the
matter of revenue might be work for
a committee.
Minister Parker was in favor of
the resolution because it favored re-
auctions. That was the policy of The
Cabinet and he would earnestly OPP
pose all attempts at increase in
amounts presented in the Appropria-
ton Bill.
Noble Thurston said that the in
PRODUCTION of the resolution was in
the nature of a vote of want of con-
fidence in the Cabinet. That was
not new, as the House had already
cut loose from the figures presented
in the budget. Even the Ministers
had voted against their own figures.
The Cabinet seemed to be entirely at
sea in the production of revenue.
They had given birth in that line to
one sickly infant, tax of Toe. per
pack on playing cards. When there
is any motion to lower the figures
presented they sit in their seats like
so many bumps on log. They seem
to forget that the Appropriation Bill
is their bill and they should stand by
it.
Noble j. M. Horner dsclaimed any
intention of introducing the resolu,
ton, as, in any way, vote of want
of confidence. The Ministers were
in accord with the Assembly in
