clusion Mr.. Damon expressed his |
qualification at the harmony that
now existed between the different
departments. When he wanted GER
tain information in 1889, it caused
quite commotion in the depart
ments. Now, however, he had only
to ask for any information required,
when it was cheerfully and expedi-
tionsly rendered.
Mr.. Waterhouse moved the report
be received and placed on file. 1t
was a most satisfactory report.
Carried.
Minister Smith, as a result of dis
cussions in executive council, moved
a series of resolutions. The first was
for committee to report on DISPOSE
ton to be made of certain relics of
royalty, including two gilded chairs
specified as thrones. Carried.
Secondly, with regard to libraries,
that the books loaned some time ago
to the Honolulu Library and Read
ing Room Association be transferred
absolutely to such Association by
the Government.
President Dole remarked that
some of the books required binding,
and the Association did not care to
undertake the expense when they
did not own the books.
Mr.. Morgan could not support the
resolution without knowing what
and how many books there were.
There should at least be report of
a committee on the subject.
Droc;lopt no1o onne;1 aroJ Al, a..
reasonable point to be raised.
Minister Smith concurred, asking
that the subject of the next resolu-
ton should also be referred to such
committee. He read the next reso-
luton, which was that the Govern
ment's curios loaned to the Bishop
Museum be presented to that insti-
tuition.
Minister Damon wanted to know
how far the Government could 90
in disposing of public property.
Mr.. Brown had the same question
occur to himself This Government
was for certain object, and, if annex
alton was not obtained, whatever
Government might succeed this one
might hold them responsible. Could
they give a good title?
President Dole considered they
had right to dispose of the pro
perty in such manner as they deem
ed might best serve the public inter
ests.
The resolutions were referred to
committees as follows:
1st-Allen, Tenney and Ena.
I'd and 3d-Morgan, Warehouse
and Mott.
Mr.. John Ena read question ad-
dressed to the Attorney-G General ask
ing if it was true that the Hawaiian
National Band had been prohibited
from playing, and if SO by what
authority.
Minister Smith replied that two
weeks ago yesterday the public peace
came near being disturbed on the
departure of steamer. The Gov
eminent band was playing as usual,
when the Hawaiian National band
appeared on the scene and acted
disorderly. In consequence he was
consulted by the Marshal and had a
conference with the Minister of the
Interior, and had obtained his col
leagues sanction to issue an order
that the National band could not
play on any public wharf without
the consent of the Minister of the
Interior. The order also included
public squares or other places where
the Government band was likely to
play at the same time. Under date
of June 20 the Minister of the In
terror caused letter (Which he read
to be sent to the leader of the Ma
tional band forbidding the band
to play without the consent OF
the Minister of the Interior. 1t
was not intended to interfere with
the National band except to prevent
disturbances of the public peace.
Mr.. Ena said the explanation
seemed to be satisfactory. He had
understood that the band was not
allowed to play at all.
President Dole said the action
was taken with the approval of the
Executive Council. The conduct oil
the National Band was highly i'm
proper in invading the territory
occupied by another band filling a
regular engagement.
Minister Smith introduced a bill
to amend the Judiciary Act of 1893
so as to remove the disability o.
District Magistrates, in their pro
, hibition from practicing law. As
, the bill was a simple one he moved
it be read first time now. Carried
The bill to provide for militi;
and reorganize the National Guarc
came up for second reading, and i
r was decided to consider it section b,
section.
= Minister Smith demurred to tn,
= grammar of the first section, wher
r it said, Every able-bodied inhabi

ed, Gall able-bodied inhabitants,
Q etc. Agreed to.
: Minister Damon - Why "excep
: Asiatics?" With our peculiarities o
: population it was not wise to mar
a race distinctions. 1t might be wei
: enough for larger countries.
President Dole remarked it nigh
S be necessary on account OF the larg
/ proportion of Asiatics,
: Minister Damon thought they ha
a better leave that out. The Chimes
: would take il as an insult, and the
: were too valuable an element in thi
: community TO be needlessly offended
r President Dole-The Japanesel
i Minister Damon-There you star

j. nese object To being called Asiatic
o Mr., Tenney moved to strike on
except Asiatics.'
