THE COUNCIL ON RECORD
WHAT IT WANTS DONE WITH THE
CLAIMS COURT.
Passes Bolte's Resolution Regarding
McKinley's Telegram, and Makes
Recommendation for Future.

The resolution regarding the Council
of state which G.. Bolte failed to have
passed by the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday morning, was adopted by the
Council of State in the afternoon, after
one of the longest debates of the pres
ent session. The principal speakers
were A. G. NJ. Robertson, on the side
of the Government, and p. G.. Jones,
favoring the resolution.
Mr.. Robertson did not consider the
Government liable for sanitary fires,
because the law gave to 1t the authority
to summarily abate a nuisance or any
thing detrimental health. He would
not admit liability in case of the great
fire, as that conflagration was purely
accidental, having caught from sparks
| from kaumakapili church steeple. He
was prepared to admit first of all claims
for goods condemned and destroyed af-
ter having been in warehouses. Mr.
Robertson said there was no howl in
this community for the recognition and
payment of all claims except from in
| terested parties
Mr.. Jones held to his old platform
| that all the claims should be viewed
| from moral standpoint, and recognize
| ed accordingly. Kaumakapili church
was destroyed by accident; Kawaiahao
church was used in the emergency Of
| the same night for the accommodation
| of large number of people from the
| burned district. Damages to the latter
were recognized by the Board Of Health
and paid. According to Mr.. Robertson.
however, Kaumakapili's claim should
| not be recognized.
At one time in the debate there was
a tilt between Mr. Jones and Mr.. Rob-
ertson, the former correcting the latter
| in one of his statements.
! Following is the resolution introduced
| M
Honolulu, April Il, 1900
| Whereas, the message of Secretary
Hay to President Dole reads as fol-
| lows:
THE President approves the appoint
ment of the Court of Claims to consider
losses caused by the burning of China
| town, and to make awards and judg-
ments on such losses to be paid out of
appropriations made by the Council of
State in conformity with Hawaiian
| law" and
| Whereas, it is the opinion of the
Council of State that the above words
mean that President Mckinley ap-
proves the appointment of a court of
| claims that the Court of Claims is to
| consider losses caused by the burning
| of Chinatown, and to make awards and
! judgments on such losses; that the
! Council of State is to appropriate mon
ey, in conformity with Hawaiian laws,
for the purpose of paying awards and
! judgments made by the Court of
! Claims; therefore be it
Resolved. That it is the sense of the
Council of State that the Hawaiian
Government should pay just claims for
losses caused by the action taken by
the Board of Health in connection with
the suppression of the bubonic plague
Further, That the Council of State
most earnestly advises the Executive
! Council to appoint a new board of
! claims of five members, a majority or
| whom shall consist of impartial men
acquainted with the values of property
and merchandise.
