election. Applause by the specta-
tors.)
The President instructed the Ser.
geant-at- Arms to order quiet or else
the standing room would be cleared
Rep. Wilcox (continuing) said the
honorable member knows That he is
unpopular and that he will never oh
tain the seat IN the Cabinet which he
hopes TO and which he caters for by
visits TO the Palace.
Noble Macfarlane said that the
member was wrong in saying that he
had worked for Cabinet position
and had visited the Palace for the
purpose of furthering his ends. He
had only visited the Palace as an in.
vited guest at entertainments.
Rep. Wilcox We'll, if you do not
90 yourself you have representatives
in your interest.
Noble Macfarlane denied the I'M
plication and retorted by saying that
it was well known that Rep. Wilcox
had endeavored to obtain assistance
to obtain Cabinet position.
Rep. Robt. Wicox-Yes, that is
true and | acknowledge it frankly l
do not deny it like youl
Noble Macfarlane said that he had
no desire for Cabinet position. He
had spoken because he was moved
by the feeling that the introduction
of the resolution disturbed the seri-
business of the House. The Assem-
bly, had no right to send committee
to Washington. The Cabinet would
undoubtedly or should resent inter-
ference of that kind. The United
States has three years yet to run of
the old treaty; nothing could be
done until it expired and that may
be continued. AS far as his aspra-
tions for the Cabinet were concerned
he would say that his commercial in
terests would command all his atten-
ton.
Noble Baldwin said that there was
nothing really before the House and
he did not approve of prolonging the
discussion.
Noble Thurston favored the re-
quest to withdraw. He would have
been glad to have had opportunity to
discuss the matter on its merits, but
it should be done in dispassionate
and impersonal manner. 1t was a
question which involved the political
and financial interests of the country ;
it would affect the independence of
the country. The question of ces-
sion of Pearl Harbor was simply a
matter of dollars and cents. He had
had no political utilization with the
introducer of this resolution for the
past twelve years, but the objections
which were now being presented
to the resolution, and from diametri-
cally opposite points of view, made
the withdrawal advisable and proper.
The fate of the Cabinet should be
settled before this question was dis.
cussed.
At II 30 the motion to grant the
return of the resolution was put and
on vote was granted.
Rep. S. X. Pua offered a resolu
ton that $4,000 be appropriated fol-
the construction of bridge over the
river at Moanalua, Oahu. To Com
mittee on Public Lands.
Noble Cornwell presented the fol
lowing resolution:
"Resolved that this House adjourn
at the noon hour until tomorrow a
10 O'Clock a. M, out of respect u
the late Alexander j. Cartwright, al
old and honored resident of thi
Kingdom, respected alike by GU
native and foreign fellow citizens, il
order that the numerous friends o
the deceased, who are in this House
may be enabled to attend the fun
eral." Adopted.
Noble Macfarlane offered for dis
tribution printed report from tn
Committee on Foreign Relations "il
reference to an appropriation for tn
preservation and arrangement of tn
Government archives and the pre-
paration of photography of tn
Hawaiian Kingdom"
Consideration of the Bills on tn
"Order of the Day" was now take
up.
Bill 35, "To compel the drivers O
vehicles to carry lights during tn
hours of darkness was read a tbr
time and passed.
Bill 63, "To authorize the coinag
of certain Hawaiian COINS" was rea
third time and passed.

also Rep. Wilder, as tending t
create irregularity in proceedings.
