of the previous question, Noble
Peterson rising to a point of order
to the effect that a similar resolution
had been brought in the other day
and was tabled. A motion might be
made to take that resolution from
the table, but he considered that it
was clearly out of order to present
resolution Of like tenor and in this
manner.
The President ruled that the pre-
vious question was in order and il
was put but failed to carry.
Discussion now ensued on the re-
solution, Rep. White, the first
speaker, being opposed to the date
set on account of the doubt about
the Registration Act being signed.
Although the Act had passed the
House he knew of one member of
the Cabinet who had said that he
had intended to advise Her Majesty
not to sign that bill.
Noble Young (interrupting)-If it
was such a good bill why did you
not vote for it?
Rep. White - Never mind that
now. The bill passed the House by
majority, and l agree with the
majority.
Minister Brown (interrupting)
hoped that the member would not
talk in so loud a voice; speak lower.
Rep. White (sarcastically) - In
deed! You well know that you have
often heard my voice used here in
this same strain and you did not OBJ
ject. There are a great many i'm
portant measures yet to come before
the House. 1t was impossible for
the House to be ready for proroga-
ton by Tuesday. It would seem as
though some of the members were
afraid of something going to happen.
Noble Young-No, we are not
afraid but we want to go home. |
am tired, and l wish to go.
Rep. White said that if the honor
able member desired to go he could
ask leave of the House, and he (the
speaker) would vote to let him go.
If his wish was not granted then the
petitioner could take French leave.
Laughter.
Noble Young desired to ask if
Rep. White knew of one planter who
had voted against the Registration
Act.
Rep. White-No; the bill was
passed by majority. But he had
heard one of the Ministers say that
advice would be given to the Queen
to veto the bill. Everybody had
heard the wrangle between Noble
Young and Noble Thurston the
other day on this matter when
| Noble Young had said that the bill
was not pet of his; yet he voted
for it. 1t reminded him a good deal
of mule being brought to water
and made to drink against his wish
Rep. Kamauoha considered that it
was we'll to know when to prorogue
and the presentation of the resolu-
ton was good way to get at a date
He favored Friday.
Noble Thurston considered that it
would be we'll to prorogue at as
early a date as possible, although
such may be done much to the dis.
gust of the general public. He
considered, as Tuesday, Thursday
and Friday had been mentioned and
objected to, that happy mean
would be found in Wednesday.
Rep. White obtained the floor
again and said that the opportunity
had now come for the Assembly tC
tender honor to the Noble from
Maui. He would move that the day
set be Thurston's day, not Wednes
day but Thurs 's)day. (Laugh

Rep. Nawahi questioned whethe
the Cabinet had intimated anything
relative to the early propagation to
Her Majesty. An address was usua
and there should be time to prepare
it.
Minister Jones said that the Cabi
net was all ready. 1t had been their
intention to call on Her Majesty to
day and suggest her early attention
to bills unsigned. The Queen wa
out of town, so they would wait un
til Monday.
On motion the resolution wa
amended to read Thursday and pass

lowing committees: Noble Marsdeu
