House of Representatives.

Rep. Rycroft made a verbal report
for the committee to whom had been
referred the petition from residents
along certain portion of Nuuanu
stream asking that something be done
toward preventing their lands from
being flooded by such stream. Rep.
Rycroft said that the appropriation bill
had passed and provision being made
therein for improvements at such
places, it was hardly necessary that the
petition be acted upon.
Rep. Rycroft presented the following
report of the Conference Committee to
whom were referred amendments to
Senate bill No. 81, entitled "An Act re-
lating to wheel tires" amending the
title and making the time when the re-
quirements of the bill shall be in full
force, A. D. 1901, instead of 1903; also
making the front and hind axles of
such vehicles to be of different lengths:

Ninety-eighth Day.
FRIDAY. June |

After the opening ceremonies of the
Senate, Minister Cooper introduced a
bill appropriating $1,000 for additional
expenses of the Legislature The bill
passed under suspension of the rules.
Senator Lyman, from the wide tire
conference committee, reported recon-
mending the adoption of the House
amendments.
Senator Hocking's motion to table
the report was carried by the following
vote: es-Hocking, Wright, Brown,
Wilcox, Kauhane and Waterhouse-6.
Noes-Lyman, Schmidt, McCandless
Northup and Rice-5.
This kills the wide tire bill for this
session
The House holiday bill came UP on
third reading. Senator Brown moved
to strike out the third Saturday in
September.
Senator Schmidt moved to strike out
the day and substitute a day to be
named by the Minister of the Interior
to celebrate the opening of Honolulu
harbor.
Senator Brown accepted the amend
ment but the motion was lost and the
bill passed the third reading by vote
of to 2, Senators Brown and Wright
voting in the negative.
Minister Cooper asked to have the
wide tire bill taken from the table in
order that he might offer some sug-
gestions. The necessary two-thirds
vote to Jake the report of the confer
ence committee from the table was not
forthcoming, so Minister Cooper's sug-
gestions were not heard

The islands of the Hawaiian group

most of which show no sign of voIcan-
turies. Only at one point, Lapauhoe-
hoe, is there evidence of any eruption
at all recent. The age of the finished
volcano can be somewhat judged by
the depth of the rayines which score
the lower reaches of its windward side,
and by the height of the cliffs that
have formed where the ocean has en-
croached on its base. The cliffs are
200 to 500 feet high, the ravines not
commonly cut down quite to sea level,
where they meet the encroaching
ocean.
Hualalai is a much smaller noun
tain, not yet to be regarded as certain
ly extinct; remarkable especially for
the deep chimney f1ues Qua mckee that
mark the sites OF it's former vents.
