The Executive and Advisory coun.
ellis of the Provisional government of
the Hawaiian islands desire to express
the profound regret with which they
have heard of the sudden death of
Captain G. {. Wiltse, U.S.N., and to
testify to their high regard for his per-
sonal character and professional re-
cord. During his many years of active
service he established high reputa-
ton for courage, patriotism, fidelity
and the qualities becoming an officer
and gentleman. His presence in
command of the United States forces
in Hawaiian waters during the critical
period of our recent revolution, and
his prompt and firm, yet just and con-
siderate conduct in connection with
the events thereof, commended him,
not only to the confidence and friend
ship of his countrymen domiciled in
this community, but of all the friends
of peace, order and good government
generally throughout these islands.

NEW STEAMER LINE.
A Graphic Description of the
New Boats.

Messrs. Huddart & Parker, the
owners of the Miowera and Warri-
moo, the two vessels which will
run from the Colonies to Vancou-
yer, Be-, via this port, are heavily
subsidized. From exchanges it is
learned that they have entered into
contract with the Canadian gov
eminent to carry the English mails
for one year. They will receive
$125,000 as subsidy. Their yes
sells are to maintain a 14-knot rate
and one is to leave Sydney every
four weeks. The two vessels men
toned are sister ships and are
almost new.
The following brief synopsis of
the Miowera is taken from the New
Zealand Herald:
The Miowera has cabin aeeommo-
dation for 200 passengers, and the
Storage, which is on the main deck
forward, has accommodation for about
100 male and female adults. The
handsome vessel has some new fea-
lures, one of which is a splendid I'M
broken promenade 80 feet in length,
which at night is illuminated by the
electric light, and has the appearance
of well lighted street. The smoking
room, adjoining the captains room, is
fine, roomy, commodious apartment
on the deck forward, elegantly fitted,
and for the ladies also a handsome
boudoir is reserved, in addition to
which there is a music hall over the
dining saloon.
In addition to the main saloon,
which is 30 feet in length and the full
width of the ship, there is an extra
dining room, which is handsomely
fitted, and which can be used when
The ladies' cabins are all
amidships. A feature which is often
lost sight of in the working and con-
structiOn of passenger ships, is adopted
in this, namely, the prevention Of any
or inconvenience to pas
sengers from the working of the ship. |
For this purpose there is clean and a
dirty side to the deck, the former be- /
ing entirely reserved for passengers, |
while on the working side the en- |
gineers, stokers and crew carry on |
heir operations and are not permitted /
access to the other side. The apart
nents Of the crew are beneath the
iteerage and have a separate entrance.
The vessel is amply supplied with re-
rigerators.

OPENING MAIL.
Investigations Being Conducted
By the Authorities.

The irregularities charged against
the post Office department are
being investigated by the authori-
ties. The fact that the mail of
the annexation club has been tam
pered with has been known over a
week, during which time the en-
ployees of the central Office have
been kept under surveillance. No
Irregularities or suspicious eircum-
stances have been discovered, how
ever, and the theory is that the
mail mentioned must have been
opened in some of the country
offices.
Investigations viii continue, and
if the guilty parties are found they
will be prosecuted under the legal
provisions of the penal code.
The Minister of Finance has re-
ceived specific complaints from
sundry parties and has turned
over the evidence placed in his
hands to Postmaster-Ge Dat
who will conduct further investiga-
tons.

Respectfully submitted,
THBo. c. PORTER,
Minister Of Finance.
Honolulu, May s, 1895.
Before the reading OF the report OF
the Finance committee, Vice Presi-
dent Damon arose TO introduce a resO-
luton relating 10 the finances Of the
government.
Mr. Damon said that before the re-
port was read and acceptance moved
he wished 10 introduce an amend
ment in the form Of q resolution. He
would give his reasons therefor. At
the meeting OF the Finance commit
tee held last Friday they had received
rebuff a limit of expenditure had
been set by consent for last month.
This affected each department and
was in accordance with the Audit
act, which he quoted. 1t was true
the law of the act had never been car
ried out, but general estimates have
always been made under it. The
Finance committee was merely the
servant Of the councils, and would
lend all the aid in its power 70 secure
a proper control Of the governments
finances.
If the Provisional government can
show it has grappled successfully with
the financial question, this added to
its other successes, would cause il TO
be more widely respected. It would
become more stable, and besides would
receive the gratitude of the commu-
nifty.
To illustrate how departments had
exceeded the limits agreed upon, he
stated that the judiciary had been al
lotted $500: it had spent $500. The
attorney generals department had
only ashedsS Is, 900 odd, but had spent
$4,000. The foreign affairs Office had
been allotted 5000: il had spent
$500. The finance department was
given SlT, 600; il spent $4,000. The
bureau of public instruction was the
only buresa that had not exceeded |
the limit set; its probable expenses |
were estimated at S5979.SS, out OF I
which S567I.2 had been spent, leav- /
ing a balance of S30S.67.
The interior department had lived 1
closest to its limit; It had been allow
ed SO, 800, and had spent but $500 I
over that amount The military and /
the Provisional government, joint eX-
OC1QltuIcf " a. G-1fttt JUL III S-ASSo9 VI
the allotment.
The wee president stated that he
did not blame either individuals or
but thought it was time
to correct an old abuse and tighten
the rein throughout all departments.
aOur finances he concluded, "are
the keystone of the arch Of govern !
ment, and / take this stand that we
may become masters of the situation.
When / left the meeting of the finance
committee on last Friday, felt we
had run against q stump. / have felt
hat way ever since, and that stump
5 still before my eyes. To get around
t have prepared the following reso-
ution:"
Resolved, That on or before the
first day of each month the Minister
If Finance, chairman Of the Finance
committee, shall present to the coun-
ii q statement of the cash in hand
md a careful statement of the esti- {
mated receipts for the ensuing month,
nd furthera statement showing the
The Hawaiian gazette., 1893-05-16


amounts which may prudently be
allotted TO each OF the several depart-
ments for the ensuing month. Upon
the approval by the council of the
Z foregoing recommended expenditures
! the several departments may with
I draw funds from the treasury, but not
I IN excess Of such recommended eX-
penGltures without the consent of the
Z Finance committee or vote of the
. council And also that from and
after this date payments from the
treasury other than interest on the
public debt and repayments TO the
Postal Savings Bank or on public debt
falling due, or incidentals from the
Custom House, shall only be made by
resolution Of the executive and advis-
ory councils, either on the recon-
mendation of the Finance committee,
Of which the Minister of Finance is
ex-officio chairman, or by motion of
member Of the council.
Proceeding, Mr.. Damon said the
finance committee did not wish to
usurp power, but some definite action
was necessary. He discussed the
question OF whether the loan law
should be amended so as to allow
bonds 70 be sold in Honolulu at n dis
count. He thought before this was
resorted TO they should be able to show
this community that they were able
10 live within their means. The gen.
eral revenue for April was Sl2l, S10.0S,
and that for March would not fall far
short OF that amount. With such a
revenue they ought to put their heads
together and sell those bonds either at
par or al premium. At least an at
tempt should be nude before selling
their bonds at a discount. The last
two legislatures allowed bonds TO be
sold abroad al oS, which meant 4 net
result Of about %. He did not say he
would oppose selling them at such
rate, but he would say that they ought
10 make an attempt to improve ma
uonal securities by living within
their means. He wished to add that
Minister Porter had aided the COM
mittee in reaching a safe conclusion,
and that the minister deserved great
credit for The arduous work he had
done. We are all working with the
minister of finance, not against him.
The report Of the finance committee
was read by Minister Porter as fol-
