lature.
The Labor Commissions report
OH wages in Foreign countries
and on the expenses Of the commits
sion was received al d referred.
Senator Brown, for the judiciar,
committee reported favorably on
the Chinese Restriction Act.
The general appropriation bill
was taken up.
The committee had recommend
ed that the pension Of $4,000 a year
for Kaiulani be allowed not oil
account of any legal claim, but
because the same had peen prov d.
ed for in the annexation treaty
taken to Washington.
Senator Northrup inquired If
Kaiulani was loyal to this Govern
ment.
Senator McCandless was opposed
to the pension. He did not believe
any constituency on the Islands
would uphold a senator in favoring
the proposition. She had no vest
ed right. Whatever rank she held
was subject to legislation and the
pleasure of the people. The royal
family has been removed from our
affairs polite. II we toady to this
young lady our friends abroad will
call us a whitewashed monarchy.
There have been rumors around
town that Kaiulani was to be placed
OH the throne. Men who have
controlled her have made necessary
our heavy military appropriations.
Sen. Warehouse inquired If Mr..
McCandless knew Of any act OF
hostility by Kaiulani. Mr.. Nc
Candless replied that nothing had
been heard OF her name being at
tached to an oath.
Sen. Wright opposed the pension
unless the young lady was in need,
Sen. Brown was in favor of the
subsidy. Kaiulani was not to
blame for the acts Of her uncle or
aunt. She was a minor when at
Washington with Mr.. Davies. She
had been deprived of right and a
place.
Sen. Baldwin could not, in the
light of what has happened and
what has been said, vote for the
pension. There is no evidence that
Kaiulani has yielded to the situa-
ton.
Mr.. Waterhouse - How much
was the Commission to Washington
in favor of giving Kaiulani'
President Wilder-It was a lumr
sum of 81 so, 900, but the Commits
sion was not in favor of that much
Minister Hatch spoke earnestly
He favored the allowance as mat
ter of principle and for the honor o
! this Government. She had beer
deprived of her right of succession
by right, but should have compen'
sation. AS to specific acts, if an,
were advanced as objections, they
should be investigated. If 1t b'
learned that Kaiulani foments dis
sension, the allowance can b'
] stopped. She has a moral ant
+ equitable claim which should b.
= recognized. Mr.. Hatch did not be
lieve in making the oath a con
dition, because then it would
appear like gift. Prelu
dice and heat must b.
cast aside in these cases. 1t will b'
polite to labor for the approval o
other countries. England recog
d nizes these rights and the $3.50, ooc
I for Kaiulani was favored in tn
United States. Brazil peaceabl,
retired a monarch. 1t may be tina
some constituencies would oppos
this, but it is right, aud it is pro
per to educate constituents to tn
: fact. This will help annexation
t If we shape our course properly W
can appeal to either American
, party. The older wing of tn
/ Democracy favors annexation
That party has annexed much ter
ritory for the United States. Oppo
i ,ition to this government has beei
J. personal rather than political. l
e is due to the Hawaiians that W
recognize a monarchy existed her
/ and that it has been laid to rest il
3 a respectable manner.
Acknowledgement Smith said tn
main reason the government ha
d been approved was for the justic
9 of its cause, its courage and gener
, oiity. This was no South Americ
an affair. We have returned goo
|. or evil and have thus bee
I strengthened. The defeat OF thi
!, proposition would be a mistake
n rhe speaker hoped the time woul
e come when Legislature, represent
ing the intelligence of the commu
uity would vote an allowance
Liliuokalani.
!, Sen. Baldwin would acquiesce
9. it could be learned that the youn
1t lady would receive the allowanc
: : in the proper spirit. Will Kaiulai
Y accept the settlement, No peopI
n in the world will censure us fc
If finding out about this first. An oat
|. is the test of fealty laid down in II
/ constitution.
ie Sen. McCandless--Dom Pedi
i had said, 81 wish the Republic
y Brazil we'll and want to assist"
" agree with Mr.. Baldwin. There
le no evidence that the situation h;
e been accepted. The Citizen
M Guard has been under arms with
7 three days.
Sen. Northrup-A pension in OF
e paragraph and army budget in al
~ other seems to me inconsistent.
If Minister Hatch closed the deba
by saying that the course propose
was entirely reasonable.
~ The ayes and noes were Gale
70 on the motion to strike out IL
TEN, and this was the result

ner, McCandless, Wright-5,
