President Dole thought the bill
might he supefliuuus, aud that tie
| p0We or the advisory council might
! be unnecessarily limited by il. He
pointed out that the bill might raise
t-chuicalitles and points that could
be entirely avoided by recognizing
the entire and complete abrogatiOn OF
the monarch as effected through the
proclamation Of last January.
Mr.. Emmeluth asked what cOndi-
tons had arisen which demanded the
passage of such bill.
Attorney General Smith mentioned
particularly the case which arose re-
garding the Japanese convict Mat
suda.
TIE report was adopted on a show
of hands.
Mr.. Brown asked that the Judiciary
committee be granted more time TO
consider the peddlers bill and the
crown lands act. Granted.
Mr.. Tenney asked how was it that
all three Justices of the supreme court
were absent from Honolulu at once.
/ seemed strange that there should
be 40 representative of the supre me
court in the city, particularly al this
time.
President Dole said that under the
old law, it was the rule of the court in
vacation season 10 have one Justice To
always remain in town. Under the
new judiciary act many of the duties
previously performed by the supreme
court justices devOlved on the Judges
OF the circuit court. There was there
fore not the same necessity for the
presence of the supreme court justices
and besides one or more was always
within call of the telpnlOne.
President Dole stated that petit
ton had been received from the pro-
pfietOr5 of the Paradise of the Pacific
aud he asked the secretary to read
the following:
HONOLULU, Aug. >, 1898.
President ;. Is. DOLE, Members of the
Executive and Advisory Councils
Provisional Government of Ha-
wall.
GENTLEMEN: Through the secre-
tary of the executive and advisory
councils notice has been served on the
Paradise of the Pacific newspaper,
(under date of July 5th) that the sub
sidy appropriated by the Legislature
of 1892 should cease from and after
June 80, 1898.
In answer we desire to most res
protest against such action
as being of nature, which will work
us unjustifiable hardship on account
OF our having contracted bills for the
of the said newspaper,
and which bills could only be paid by
the continuance of the said subsidy.
The subsidy was granted by the
best element in the Legislature of 1892,
being supported by such members as
l.. A. ThurstOn, II. Z. Baldwin, w.
g. Wilder, Ct. n. Wilcox, w. Q.
tt,.1,
good kind, Hon. l.. a. ThurstOn him
self moving that the item be taken
from section and he placed in sec
ton l of the appropriation bill. At
no time was there any objection to
the item.
With regard to the action taken by
the advisory council we can only say
that it was, undoubtedly, taken with
)ut the knowledge that the original
motion was made eX parte and from
prejudice.

Africa. We had and still have inten- |
ion to supply n large number to |
Consul Wilder at San Francisco dur |
ng the proposed mid-winter exhibit |
ion in that city.
We find that the withdrawal of the |
subsidy after we had contracted bills |
IN the expectation of it's continuance |
works us great hardship, and we |
desire to enter this pro- |
.est and ask that the resolution be re-
considered or that the matter be re-
'eferred to the finance committee.
Very respectfully,
FRANK GODFREY,
Editor Paradise of the Pacific. |
J. J. WILLIAMS,
Manager Paradise of the Pacific. |
On motion of Mr.. Allen the petit |

Under the order Of the day the mill
AIRY bill was taken up and the report |
If the committee read. The bill was |
passed section by section until the |
section 81 was reached. This section |
was referred to the military commit |
zee to report at the next meeting.
The sections passed to section IS |
with little amendment. Section Is |
'elating to exemptions for military |
service provoked considerable discus |
sion. 1t was finally amended exempt |

payment of personal and school taxes. |
President Dole spoke in favor of the |
exemptions and gave the reasons of |
he government in detail for fayOring |
he exemptions.
The only other material amend |
