Minister Damon introduced bill
to appropriate S50,OOO for general
expenses Of the Provisional Govern
ment.
The bill to separate the office of
Minister Of Foreign Affairs from
that of President passed second
reading.
The bill to provide a salary for
the President came up on second
reading.
President Dole retired so as to al
low free discussion of the measure,
Vice President Wilder taking the
chair.
Mr.. Ena moved that the salary be
$4,000 year instead of $4,000 as
in the bill. He referred to the abil-
ity with which Mr.. Dole had presid-
ed over the Government.
Mr.. Emmeluth thought Mr.. Dole
should be paid something to com
pensate him for the time in which
he had fulfilled the duties Of the
two offices. He seconded the amend
ment.
Minister Damon spoke Of the
odium usually attached to back pay,
and said he believed Mr.. Dole would
not accept any.
Minister Smith said the largest
salary now paid in this country was
5000 to the Chief Justice, and the
Minister at Washington received the
same amount. Ministers of the
Cabinet receiyed SlSD
Mr.. Tenney was not in favor OF
Offering any back pay. Mr.. Dole, no
more than any Of the rest OF them,
had considered the matter Of salary
in going into the movement. He
favored $4,000.
The amendment carried and the
bill passed as amended.
Minister Smith referred to the
vacancy made, by the passage of the
bill for that purpose, in the Office Of
Minister Of Foreign Affairs. He sug-
gested that until an election be held
the publication Of the bill should be
delayed.
Minister Damon hoped that Mr..
Hatch would consent To- take the
office.
After a desultory discussion il was
decided to delay the publication
until next Wednesday.
At 2:i5 the Councils adjourned.

would be announced before the next
general meeting Of Councils. Among
the names considered were those OF

to find Roman Catholic, and Perry
was well educated and represented
the Portuguese as well as the Catho-

sent, Mrs. Henry Castle, Mrs, +. )
Dodge, and Mrs. W. W. Hall were
other well qualified candidates. They
had tried To find some German for
seat on the Board. but most capable
men OF that nationality were foreign
consuls. They desired to have the
nationalities represented, and the
names Of Mr.. Kennedy, a Scotch
man, and Mr.. Hedemann. a Ger
man, We're favorably considered.
Minister Damon asked about the
appointment Of Secretary Of the
Board, That officer would have the
handling Of a great deal of money,
and although the resolution passed
some weeks ago deprived him Of any
voice in appoint meuts in the bureaus,
he felt the necessity OF having a
thoroughly good man in that posi-
ton.
President Dole held that the
Board should have the appointment,
but it ought to be- with the approval
OF the Executive.
Minister Smith introduced a bill
relating to the Road Boards. He
explained that the term for which
these bodies were elected was almost
expired, and it was not deemed ex-
pcdlcnt at present to change the
system. Therefore the bill provided
for the continuance OF the existing
Boards, the Minister Of the Interior
having power to change any Of their
members.
Mr.. Emmeluth did not beliave in
making any changes in Honolulu.
The Minister had his hands full al
ready, AID the Superintendent Of
Public Works could not get his work
through property. All he had
against the present Board was that
they were dyrd.in-the-wool royalsts
The work in the district Of KOna
was five times as great as that in
any other district.
The bill took the usual course.

and, being near relative of a high
chief, he could not easily be brought
to answer for his crimes. His plan
was to put cocoanut on the head
Of his wife, and, after the example
of William Tell and the apple, essay
to bore hole in it with rifle bullet
His aim was defective. however, and
the experiment was followed by a
funeral. This accident, as he called
II, had happened So often that he
became notorious amongst the rela-

interposed and deported the young
man to distant island. After com

after native affairs or on admins

sidering the long stay she has made
