rnADAI, MAY 0.
The refunding bill was the principal
topic of the day in the Senate Friday
The long discussion anticipated was not
forthcoming. With one or two excep-
tions the members expressed their
opinions in votes and said nothing.
After the opening preliminaries SEN
ator Brown presented the report of the
Judiciary Committee, recommending
that the bill appropriating $4,000 for
the improvement of Nuuanu stream be
referred to the Executive. On motion,
the bill was referred to the Minister of
the Interior
The Printing Committee reported
copies of the Act making appropriations
for unpaid bills previous to December
81, 1895.
Under the regular order of the day
Senator McCandless' resolution on the
funding bill came up.
Senator Baldwin moved to amend the
resolution so as to allow an per cent
discount in place of the 8 per cent. pro-
posed by the resolution. In support of
the amendment the Senator said that
some latitude should be allowed the Ex-
ecutive in the refunding scheme. He
did not intend to vote for a proposition
that the Executive could not carry out,
nor did he favor the apparent attempt
to throw the responsibility of failure
to refund upon the Executive.
Senator McCandless stood by his reso-
luton, maintaining that the amount
saved by refunding with an per cent
discount was not sufficient to pay for
the trouble. He cited favorable terms
obtained by Cubans, and held that Ha-
waii ought to hold it's head as high as
Cuba. The London brokers were look
ing to make too much money out of the
country.
Senator Brown favored having the
question of refunding wait for two
years.
The discussion having lasted about
half an hour, the Senators were pre-
pared to vote. and defeated Senator
amendment, as follows:
Ayes: Kauhane, Holstein, Baldwin
and Schmidt
Noes: Lyman, Northrup, Hooking,
Brown, McCandless, Water
house, Rice and Wilcox-9
The adoption of the original resolu-
ton was then before the Senate and
was voted upon as follows:
Ayes: Holstein, Hooking, Horner,
Schmidt and McCandIess.
Noes: Kauhane, Lyman, Northrup. |
Baldwin, Brown, Waterhouse, Wright, |
Rice and Wilcox.
The resolution was lost This leaves |
the funding bill on the table, and as it |
requires ten votes to bring the bill |
again before the Senate, there will prob |
ably be no further discussion of the |
funding measure at this session
Senator Holstein's bill to amend the |
section of the constitution relating to |
the number of Senators was tabled

Chinese Hospital passed the final read |
ing.

CAFFERTY'S PLEDGE.
The Man Who Beat His Son so Savagely
Promises the Judge to Drink
No More.

Martin ]. Cafferty, who so brutally beat
his son Johnnie, a mere boy, on Monday
night. appeared in Judge Lows court yes
terday morning.
Mrs. Cafferty and her four young chill
dren were in court and size pleaded with
the Judge to be lenient with her husband.
"If he is sent to JAIL" said the little
woman, ''my children and 1 will be the
sufferers, as we are dependent upon him
for living. He is model husband and
father when sober, and if your Honor
would make him take pledge to abstain
from drink l am sure there would be no
more trouble
The Judge severely lectured Cafferty
upon his brutality to his son, but SAID in
view of his wife's plea for mercy he would
not send him to jail if he took an oath to
abstain from LIQUOR.
Cafferty expressed his willingness not to
touch drop of liquor for ten years and
took an oath to that effect in open court.
The Judge then suspended sentence for
thirty days, and Cafferty left the court
room with his wife and family.
The Judge had seen Gray Bros, Caffer-
ty's employers, and they said they would
willingly take him back, as he was an in
dustrious workman and this was the first
time they ever knew of him getting into
trouble.

WHEN A MAN GOES OVERHEARD

Captain Manuel Cation OF the Adams
