CABLE sure NOW
Contract With Scrymeser
Company Signed.
Cabinet Acts Under Present Law,
New BIZ Not Finally Disposed
of Yet-The Terms.

The one thing that this country has
been working for during the past five
years as the national need next TO a
treaty Of annexation with the [. s.
cable, is more than likely TO be pro-
yided and that before 1899 is very Old.
This. of course, is the cable. 1t now
seems assured. The line viii be from
San Diego Cal. to Honolulu and on 10
Japan. Inc franchise TO Japan is ex-
elusive. Limitations placed on con
struction are as to dates and route.
On Saturday evening the Cabinet. or
Executive Council of the Republic of
Hawaii closed a cable contract with the
we'll known Scrymser Company, con-
Germ known to be responsible and ready
to proceed at once with work. Gen.
A. S. Hartweu acted as attorney and
representative for the Cable Company.
The actual work of placing the line
is to begin within six months from the
date of signing the contract, This is
with the understanding that objection
by the SECRETARY of State for the Unit
ed States shall vitiate all agreements.
The contract was entered into by the
Cabinet under the provisions of the
'OId Cable Act" passed by the last
Legislature. 1t had general provisions
giving authority to the Executive
| Council.
The cable act passed by the Legis-
lature at the session now drawing to
a close is in the hands of the Presi-
dent. but has not yet been either sign
ed for approval or vetoed. 1t was sent
to the President several days ago.

NEARING The END
Senate Conference Com.
mittee on Transit Bill.
House in Discussion on Estrays
BilI-An Example of Rush
Legislation.
SENATE.

One hundred-eighteen day, July ..
a communication was received from
the House announcing the non-concur-
renee in the Senate amendments to the
Rapid Transit bill.
The schedule of bills for June,
amounting to $558.95 was received and
approved. The Clerk was instructed TO
pay the bills.
A resolution was adopted on motion
of Senator Brown allowing the Clerk
: DAYS in which to complete the rec
ords.
The bill came up for action on third
reading creating a port of entry at
Palaau on MolOkai. Senator Brown Op-
posed the opening of the port He
said he believed it was not fair to
the inter island steamship companies
to grant these indescriminate ports OF
entry. 1t was not fair to the other
ports. If this particular plantation
was given this favor others would ask
for it. He said it was his opinion
that the harbor was landlccked and
that it would be impossible for ships
to get in at times owing to the calms
Senator Baldwin assured the Senator
that he was mistaken regarding the
wind. The bill passed third reading.
The House bill passed third read
ing adding water, water rights and
easements to the rights of eminent
domain.
Senators Baldwin, Brown and Nc
Candless were appointed a Special Con-
ference Committee to meet the House
Committee on the Rapid Transit bill.
The House substitute to the funding
loan bill came up on first reading and
passed. Minister Damon explained the
features of the bill which merely
slightly amends the present act. Inc
bill is applicable to the present pro-
! posed issue of bonds. Two principal
changes are made. The rate of interest
! is 5 per cent instead of 4, and the
! bonds are to be made redeemable in
! 10 years Minister Damon approved.
He said the change would save the
! Government at least $4,000.
Senator Brown moved that, owing to
the nparness to tho the session
and to expedite matter, the rules be
suspended and the bill put through
second reading that it might be sent to
committee and reported on tomorrow.
This requires unanimous vote and
Senator McCandless objected.
A motion to take a recess to 2 O'Clock
was lost and at 1926 o'clock the Sen
ate adjourned.

HOUSE

The House passed the joint resolu-
ton transferring the relics to the
Bishop Museum and the concurrent
resolution to appoint a committee to
destroy the $272, 800 old issue silveC

On motion of the AttOrney-G
the Joint Committee on Rules was in
structed to confer with the Joint Com
mitUee on Rules of the Senate as to
what disposition shall be made of mat
tiers now pending in Conference Com
mittees as under the Joint Rules OF the
legislature no matters may be report
ed within week of the adjournment
of the Legislature. This action was
the result of an hours discussion on
the pounds and estrays bill The Con-
ference Committee reported that the
Senate would withdraw from its posi-
ton on one amendment to make the
provisions of the bill applicable to the
district of Hilo as well as the town.
Representative McCandless moved that
the report be Indefinitely postponed.
Rep. Achi maintained that the report
was out of order under the joint rules,
motion was made to defer action.
Then the discussion arose as to the
exact status of the bill. The Attorney
General spoke on the subject. Reps.
Loebenstein and Robertson compared
notes Oh the records of the House and
their Interpretation of the action taken
by the House. The Speaker ruled that
under Joint Rule the report and the
whole discussion was out of order on
the seven days limit.
Representative Isenberg was eXcus-
ed for the remainder of the session.
Quick action was taken on a bill
brought in by the Acknowledgement.
In the title of the published act passed
at the present session regulating the
appointment of a temporary Circuit
Judge. a typographical error was dis
covered in the engrossed copy. The
Attorney-GeneraI held that the act
might be declared unconstitutional
and the new bill was brought in max
ing the necessary correction. Under
suspension of the rules the bill passed
first reading, was sent to Committee
and reported on and then passed sec
ond and third reading.
At 1870 o'clock the House adjourn
