The first business of the morning
was the consideration in second read
ing of Senate bill 7, wide tire act. Rep.
Isenberg moved for indefinite post
ponement. This was lost. The second
section reads as follows: "The front
and rear axles of all vehicles mention
ed in this act shall differ in length so
that in progressing along a straight
course the hind wheels shall not pass
over the same ground passed over by
the front wheels" Rep. Achi, referring
to this asked how the thing would work
with a cane wagon? How could a
carriage be turned around when built
upon such a plan? Reps. Paris and
Achi announced the receipt of letters
from Hawaii protesting against the
bill. Rep. Paris said that the time
limit should be set at three years.
Within that time everyone could fall
in line. The vote on the amendment
of Rep. Paris setting the limit at 1901
instead Of 1900 stood to g. The Vice
Speaker voted for the amendment. The
bill then passed second reading unani-
mousIy. Third reading set for Thurs

Senator Waterhouse believes that the
registry of vessels bill now in the
Senate is unjust in some particulars.
The two years limit of incorporation
for ability to secure registration is
one of these. The Senator has lived
in Honolulu nearly so years but his
business house has been incorporated
less than two years, and were the pro-
posed law enacted he would be unable
to secure register for vessels until the
expiration of the time limit. Other cor
porations and business concerns are
in a similar position. For this rea-
son the Senator opposed the bill when
it come up for third reading and Sc

No Blight in kona.

Prof \. Koebele, the Government
entOmologist has returned from the
Kona district of Hawaii highly elated
over the coffee prospect in that region.
Prof Koebele says that the coffee in
both North and South Kona is entire
ly free from disease and is far ahead
in every way of any coffee he saw in
the whole of Mexico. He was shown
one tree from which twelve pounds of
coffee had been taken. This was a wild
plant and of course an excellent one.
But few of the Japanese beetles were
found on the Konas. The inoculated
beetles taken to Hawaii by Prof KOe-
belle were distributed and will be fol-
lowed up by a consignment of toads
for general placing. The expert says
the Kona coffee growers are certainly
to be congratulated on the appearance
of their plantations and on the pros
poets for the culture of the berry in
that district.

A Concert Change.

Captain Berger has taken to heart
somewhat, the criticism that the same
song is given too often at his concerts.
He rather resents this fault finding and
makes out for himself a strong case.
In the first place it has been the custom
in the past to give for each change
three new pieces. This involves alto
gebher too much labor of preparation
and the allowance will be cut to one.
The captain himself does all the ar
ranging and with his own hand writes
a new piece of music 18 times. For
encore hereafter there will be given a
repeat" The trouble here is, the cap
tain points out that a new song lasts
but a fortnight or so, while abroad it
is easily the vogue for months and even
a year or two. The band leader tries
hard to please all and it can readily
be seen that asking for new songs for
every concert is something utterly un-

favored with good free music as Ho-
