Baldwin.
The members of Grace church at the
parish meeting held Monday evening
discussed the proposition to call rec
tor to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Rev. Percy Barnes.
Some believed that the time had ar
rived when a rector should be secured
and others favored further delay. No
vote was taken, but it was the sense
of the meeting that nothing should be
done at present. Rev. H. M. Denslow,
a former rector of the church, now of
Muncie, Ind, is to attend the Yale COM
mencement and has arranged to preach
at Grace church June 26 and July 3.
He is anxious to locate in the east
again, but it is feared that he would
not be willing to accept the salary that
this church can pay. Very many IN
the church would be glad to have him
settle over Grace church, as he was
very much liked as a rector and was a
good preacher

THE BILL
Senate Sends Registry of
Vessels Act to House.
Mr.. Warehouse OppOsed-Appro-
priations Considerations
Was Busy.
SENATE.


The Senate passed the registry OF
vessels bill. Senator Waterhouse mov-
ed TO indefinitely postpone. On this
motion ne was supported by Senators
Rice and Kauhane. His motion was
lost and Senator BaldWin's motion TO
pass the bill at third reading, carried.
The vote on this motion was the same
as on the motion 10 Indefinitely post
pOne Minister Cooper replied to The
request of the Senate for all CORES
pondence with the United States on
the subject of registry of vessels. The
Minister read a letter from Minister
Sewall, sent at the time of the China
case, asking for a statement Of the
position of the Government on the
subject. There was no other CORES
pOndence with foreign country. Min
lister Cooper then stated the condition
under the present registry law. In 1893
orders were issued to cOnsuls to discOn-
tinue issuing provisional registers.
There had never been a law to issue
these registers. In July last, when
news was received that the annexation
treaty had been sent to the Senate, in
structiOns were sent to the Consul
General at San Francisco to cOmmuni-
cate with the cOnsuls to issue no regis
ters. Within a few days he received a
communication from Minister Hatch
in Washington advising that instruc-
tons issue to cOnSuls to the same eff
feet.
Minister Hatch had been approached
by the Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce who regretted
that there was no clause in the an
neXatiOn treaty to prevent further
registration of Hawaiian vessels. Min
lister Sewall also communicated with
the department, and had announced
that he had heard from the Chairman
of the Commerce Committee calling
attention to the absence of any regis
try regulation in the treaty.
Minister Cooper said the policy of
the Government has been in accord I
with the wishes of the friends Of Ha
wall. Annexation was by no means
assured and it was ilI-timed to say
Hawaii should show her independence.
If annexation should fail The Republic
would get enough of independence.
The emergency bridge and road bill
passed third reading, as did also the
House bill defining highways and re
luiring abutting owners to build side
walks.
The loan and the special appropria- |
ton bills passed second reading. The |
Public Lands Committee reported on
several items, among which was an
adverse report on the Diamond Head |
lighthouse. The item of $500 to COM |
plete the structure was increased by |
$500 with directions to build a stone
Or brick foundation, allowing the iron |
to stand. An item Of $4,000 |
was added and sent to the Public |
Lands Committee for new road on
Maui.
House bills relating to the DISPOSE
ion of the school tax, the duly on
sake and claims against real estate
passed first reading, the last named
going to the Printing Committee.
At 11:45 the Senate adjourned.
