waiian Reports, $2300. Passed.

DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Salary of Minister, $4,000.
The Minister of Finance stated
that it was proposed to have the
salaries of the Ministers lowered in
accord with the present financial
needs of the country, so he would
move that the item pass at $1,000.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox moved that
the item pass at $4,000. There was
every good reason to back his pro.
position. A cabinet position was one
of the greatest Importance, it should
be filled by competent and able
man, and for that reason, if it was
worth anything, it was worth 5000
per year. He did not believe in con
sidering the personnel of those who
held the positions but the impor
tance of the Office.
Rep. Bush favored the item pass
ing at $4,000. A man with any

more than double his salary if so in
clined. He did not think that tn,
personnel of the Cabinet should b'
considered, but the duties of thu
offices and the dignity of the posi-
tion.
Rep. Kaunamano considered tha
the amounts asked for, viz: $12,O0'
and $4,000, were intended to be th'
plum which those now out of Office
were preserving to pick themselve
when they got in. He was opposed
, to the increase.
After some further discussion tn,
motions to pass at $4,000 and a
$4,000 were each put and lost, anC
the item passed at $4,000.
Salary of Secretary, $5333, Passed
Salary of Clerks, $500. Passed
Salary of Envoy at Washington
$4,000.
Argument was had at considerabl
length on this item.
Noble Hind moved that the iten
be struck out. He did not knoy
what such a high-priced man di'
there, Nothing had been hear'
from him in any Way. When it wa
