HOUSE.

Rep. Isenberg reported for the Mill
tary Committee on certain items in
the appropriation bill in part, as fol-
lows:
eve find that, during the last ses-
sion of the Legislature the apprOpria-
tion for the support of military pay
roll was 1888, ,700.50, but of this amount
only $112,O09.92 was used, leaving a
balance for Government realization OF
S21 ,69O.58. This was accomplished
through very conservative manage
ment, azd we believe that the apprO-
priation asked for at this session Of the
Legislature, namely: $11O,OOO.OO Is an
extremely reasonable one, and know
ing as we do, that the Minister Of For
eign Affairs will expend no more ol
the appropriation of this department
than he deems absolutely necessary
we would recommend that the sum o.
$4,000 asked for be granted.
"The appropriation of $4,000 asked

Not only was the original amendment
carried. to which the Executive is OPP
posed, making it necessary to secure
the approval of the Secretary of State
of the United States before the contract
with the cable company becomes oper-
ative. but an additional amendment
was passed providing that such ap-
proval shall be secured within six
months from the date of the approval
of the bill Attorney-General Smith and
Minister Damon, vigorously attacked
the exclusive feature in the bill. Sen
ator Hooking asked if the result of
it's passage would not in effect be a
vote of want of confidence in the Exc
cutive His right to discussion was
questioned by Senator Brown on the
point of order that there was no mo-
ton before the Senate. Senator Hook
ing endeavored to make it debatable
by motion to lay on the table, which
is non-debatable. The motion was
lost and the bill passed, by vote of
10 to /, Senator Hooking voting in the
negative.

Tenor of Dispatches Sent on to il.
Washington.

Washington.
There was not a great deal of news
to the Government by the Gaelic. From
Minister Hatch and Mr. Thurston
there were letters without special fea-
lures in the information line. The in
timation is given that annexation is or
appears to be very near. 1t is stated,
however, that war legislation" has
the right of way. The Administration
at Washington is eager as ever to eff
feet annexation.
Important and significant dispatches
have been sent by the Cabinet here to
Washington. A Government member
approached on the subject spoke with
much caution and extreme reserve. He
said in substance, but rather without
committing himself to the expression,
that Hawaii had sent word that the
United States would receive at this
port all the favors consistent with the
relations Of the two countries, past and
present" 1t was limited that this def
milton of attitude might be accepted
quite literally.

McCandIess moved TO strike out the
item but this motion was not seconded.
The next discussion arose on the
item of 81 500 for the fourth clerk of
the First Circuit. The committee re-
commended striking out the whole
thing and doing away with the Office
altogether. Rep. Gear objected and
moved for passage of the item as in the
bin. He read a communication from
the Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court
in which he stated that the Chief Jus
tees opinion on the matter had not
been asked.
Rep. Robertson objected to the Ian
guage of Clerk Henry Smith in saying
that the committee had not made pro
per investigation. The clerk himself
had been seen and also others who
know about the workings of the Court.
Rep. Achi was little stronger in
his language. Clerks of the Court were
in the habit of taking outside work
and of using the time that should be
given to their regular duties. The
Chief Clerk himself went to Maui not
long ago on business outside of his
duties. He charged the estate he was
working for a certain amount of money
for his services and at the same time
drew his salary from the Government.
This did not look as if there was
enough work to keep four clerks busy.
The recommendation of the commit
tee was adopted and the office of fourth
clerk abolished.
At II m. the House took a recess un-
til 1870 p. M.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Upon arrival at the item of $4,000
for the salary of the Minister of For
eign Affairs, Minister Cooper arose and
gave the Presidents sentiments.
Minister Damon stated that the mat
ter was a delicate one and particular
ly so, from the fact that the President
had recommended the raise in salary.
However, for the present it was not
question of salaries that should agi-
tate this Legislature. There were
more important matters to be consid-
cred. The men in the present Minis
try should stand by the President in
the matter of the original salaries to
show the people they were not in Office
for coin but to see the country out of
a very unpleasant situation. eve are
not out of the woods yet" said Minis
ter Damon 81 cannot speak for my
colleagues but 1 believe they think
the same as l do. l think it is a mis-
take to change the salaries one dol
lar"
Various members spoke on the mat
ter and the item finally passed at
$9, 200.
