THE RELIEF CONCERT.
In Aid OF the Families of Impair
doned Political Prisoners.

The concert given last night at
Kaumakapili Church, under the aus
pieces OF the Manawalea Society, in
aid Of the families of political
prisoners, was patronized most
literally, filling the church to over
aow, plainly marking the sympathy
of the community for the destitute
families.
British Commissioner Halves, ac-
companied by Mr. A. S. Cleghorn,
occupied the "royaP pew. The
stage was artistically decorated with
palm leaves and potted ferns.
The programme was smoothly
carried out, the audience manifest
ing its appreciation of the several
pieces by clapping loud and long;
several OF the performers being per
sistently called back to repeat their
renditions The Hawaiian band
orchestra opened the entertainment
in its usual fine style, followed by
chorus by members OF the Young
Hawaiians' Institute, who sang fully
up to expectation and we're obliged
to receive an encore. w. A. Love
ably delivered violin solo accom-
panied by Prof. o. Herold. W. j
Coelho was encored, and so were all
the other vocal performers. The
instrumental pieces we're superb
the piano and organ duet by Mrs.
Tietjen and Mr.. Fake was novelty
and was thoroughly enjoyed. Spe-
cial mention is due to the lady solo
singers, Miss May Cummins and
Miss Kulamanu Ward, The latter
should be entitled "The Hawaiian
Nightingale" Among those present
we're noticed, beside the British
Commissioner-Mrs. t. r. Foster,
Mrs. Bishop Willis, Rev. V. H. Kit
cat and many others Of the elite of
Honolulu society.

THE LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.


The Senate met as usual his
morning. Committee on Alcohol
Bill reported it with amendments
permitting holders Of druggists
licenses TO take out up to $50 gallons
at S2 per gallon duty but over that
at the usual rate. The Joint Con
ference Committee reported on the
Appropriation Bill to pass repairs
TO schoolhouses at $l3650, road from
Kohala to Waimea at $4,000 and
through Maulua gulch at $4,000.
Also to reduce telephone aid from
Puma to Hilo to $1,000 instead Of
$500. The items for Kipahulu
courthouse and Jail $lh00, aud re-
pairs to do at Kolos $3.50 we're re-
commended stricken out. Minister
Damon int rodnced two acts grant
iug funds to the Board of Educa-
ton to fix up the purchase OF the
Bishop premises on Emma street.
He announced that the President Of
the Board had recommended a
special loan of $4,000 for the pur-
pose, but the Executive did not be-
lieve in multiplying small loans.
The loan act now authorizes 100000
to be spent on repairs new buildings
magazines, etc. They therefore re-
commended the surrender Of certain
high interest IL percent), bonds
now held by thu Board to the Treas
ury as Government realizations, and
the passage of this new act author
izing $4,000 to be spent for real
estate. The $4,000 extra required for
repairs and improvements would be
charged to current account. The
Bishop estate would take their $751;
600 in Government bonds. The
Executive intend to con6ne expeudi-
lures in all Asses to current revenues
So in this case the purchase money
was divided and provided for in the
two acts now introduced. He
thought the independence of the
Board Of Education aud the Fire
Bureau Of the executive was wrong
and caused much confusion. They
spent money aud then sent in draft
TO be paid without specifications
He would like Minister at thu
head of each bureau especially Of
the education one. Senator Nc
Candless and Baldwin thought the
state OF affairs described remarkable
and agreed with the recommends
tions of the Minister. Minister Da
mon introduced bill to exempt
public libraries from taxation; passeC
FIRST and second reading. Thu
alcohol bill then came up and passed
its second reading. Senator Nc
Candless moved to reconsider sec
ton 2, as by it he thought no deale
in paints and oils could lmpoT
methylated spirits for his own trad
aud it gave monopoly to tn,
druggists. Much discussion ensued
Senator Brown aud Baldwin said N,
complaint had been received from
paint, oil or hardware dealers
