Postal PAYMENTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-Postmaster
General Carey today approved an order
that postmasters shall make no appoint
ments TO fill vacancies or original places of
clerks or other employees paid from the
clerk hire allowances made by the depart
ment for such appointment and reserving
authority to make it, Heretofore postmas-
ters have been given a lump sum for clerk
hire, but the system has been found to
work unsatisfactory. BY the operation
of the new system, every dollar spent by
the postmasters will be under the direct
supervision of the officials at Washington.

Honolulu, June 9th, 1898.
Representative Pogue presented the
following report of the Finance Com
mittee on House Bill So, THE Consol-
idation of Public Debt Act:
This bill was introduced for the
purpose, as explained in its title, of
consolidating the public debt now due
and paying SIX per cent interest, at
rate of interest not to exceed five per
cent Your Committee, after careful
consideration and after having had in
terviews with some of our most prom
inent financiers, as we'll as with the
Minister of Finance, believe, that this
bill grants too much power to the
Minister of Finance and the Executive
Council. We may not always have as
good a financier and as patriotic
Minister of Finance as at present. To
grant therefore practically Unlimited
power to the Minister and the EXecu-
tive Council. we do not consider would
be wise. If. however, the bill should
pass. it would be necessary either to
amend the same or to introduce a new
bill to limit and define the powers of
the Minister of Finance.
Act 6S of the Session Laws of 1896
was passed by the Legislature for this
very purpose of consolidating the Pub
lie Debt, and your committee believe,
that taken in conjunction with Act 69
of the 1896 Session Laws and with a
few amendments. is preferable to the
present bill. Act So limits the amount
to be paid as interest to per cent;
this your committee believe should be
increased to > per cent in order that
