PRESIDENT D0LFS REPLY W MONEY FOR TIE COURT
COUNCIL OF STATE VOTES DOWN
ACT 7.
Tables the Bill Providing Funds for the
Court of Claims-Attorney General
Speaks.

At the meeting of the Council Of State
held yesterday afternoon the bill APP
propriating money for the expenses of
! the Court of Claims was tabled by un-
animous vote. This was a surprise to
the Executive, and was bit further
than the Councillors intended going
until the objections of members to the
Court became more stringent upon ex-
plantations by the Attorney General.
The matter will be brought up again on
Monday afternoon probably in the way
of a new bill.
The matter was brought up by Mr.
Gear, who presented a resolution ask
ing for the correspondence between the
| Government and President Mckinley
regarding the Court of Claims. A short
time later Minister Mott-Smith produc-
ed the letters and they were read. In
answer to remarks of several members
the Attorney General spoke at length
on the province and powers of the court.
It's duty was to determine the legal
responsibility of the Government to
claimants, and not to appraise proper
ty; in fact, the court was not required
to consider values at all. The claims
were under divers heads, and would
have to be carefully inquired into in
respect to their legal status. The
Court of Claims was suggested and es-
tablished because the business was not
such as the Supreme court could con-
veniently handle under Hawaiian law
There was considerable cross-firing
between various members on the one
side and Mr.. Cooper on the other FL
nally Mr.. Jones moved to table the bill,
which carried unanimously.
The bills of merchants for supplies
furnished to Chinese held at quarantine
by orders of the Treasury Department
were again presented. On motion of
Mr.. Kaulukou they were referred to the
Executive.
Mr. Gear for the Interior Department
committee, reported that he had inves-
tigated the subject of a purchasing
agent for the Board of Health, and
found the same to be unnecessary.
Act was referred to the finance COM
mittee for revision and footings.
