sULZER RESOLUTION PASSES.
Mr.. Richardson Asks Question That
Republicans Evade.

Washington. Jan 29-The bin for the
Weather Bureau, which includes provis-
ION for pensioning disabled and aged
employees of the service, received Il black
eye in the House today and its oppon-
ents believe it is killed. The bill was
bitterly fought by the opponents of civil
pension rolls on account of its life tenure
provision. The early portion of the day
was devoted TO lively scrimmage over
the Sulzer resolution, to investigate
Secretary Gage which the Committee on
Rules recommended should be sent to
the WAYS and Means Committee as the
latter committee has the response of the
Secretary in its possession. There was
no opposition 10 the proposed action but
Mr. Richardson (Tennl and Mr.. Sulzeer
N. " used it as text for renewing
their attacks upon the Secretary. Mr..
Gage was defended by Mr.. Hopkins
Qlls.l; Mr.. Hill Conn, and Mr.. Dalzell
Pa
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Hills remarks
Mr. Richardson said that neither Mr.
Hopkins nor Mr.. Hill had made any
answer TO his question as TO why the
Secretary Of the Treasury had not taken
paper credit for S3.265, 900 instead OF
3,215. 600. He insisted that failure to
answer had left open the question as to
taxation He also questioned the right
of the National City Bank with CAPT
tai Of 100000 to buy real estate to
the amojnt of half its capital
The resolution was passed without
division.

LITERARY EXERCISES
AROUSE ENTHUSIASM
Makiki Athletic Sports
Interrupted by
Rain.

Honolulu spent one OF the quietest
Independence Days in the history OF
several decades. Old-timers remarked
the absence Of noise and excitement.
OF course there were guns fired and
firecrackers exploded but not as many
as usual. The day was observed mbre
as a rest from business cares and the
majority of Honolulans took things
easy and enjoyed themselves leisurely
and with small attention to powder and
pin wheels.
The parade brought out a great
thrOng in the morning and the literary
exercises filled the Opera House 10 over
flowing. The absence Of fireworks at
night was much lamented by the child
rem who could hardly be made 90 be-
lieve that they were not to say, All"
as the gorgeous rocket burst and let
down its shower of vari-colOred light.
Some private families and parties had
displays last night and the night before
but they were limited in extent and
witnessed only by those invited or liv-
ing in the neighborhoods.
The police had not much TO do but to
look handsome in their best uniforms.
There was not much money spent In
proportion To the sum generally laid
out by liberals in showing their patriot
ism and JOY. The saloons complained
OF poor business. They were crowded
all day but wine did not flow as freely
as of yore. Some said il was the plague
that had drained the resources of the
city and others that purses had beer
emptied on Admission Day and the
other holidays which have passed re

If he can't afford a pint a day he has
to put up with half a pint whatever
tn doctor may say.
superintendent McCandlnss is not to
blame for the present conditions, and
it is no use now seeking who may be
to blame. Superintendent McCandless
has only been in office a couple Of
months and it takes considerable study
and pains TO acquire a full knowledge
of It's workings and to haze a full grasp
of it's financial liabilities and possibili-
ties.
1t is. perfectly true that had the Board
of Health known what would be the
outcome the sewer system need not
have been put in towards PunahOu and
that section of the city. But that work
of comparative supererogation has been
done, and there is nothing more to be
said about 1t. 1t is no good crying over
split milk. The planning out belonged
to different men from those now han
ding it and the point is to meet the
question as it stands and not as it
might have stood. Like a sensible man
Mr.. McCandless has met the situation
squarely and has stated exactly the
facts of the case.
Having stated that case it is now a
question of how to raise the money if
the work has to be carried on. Upon
this point a member OF the Board of
Health seemed to think that there
would be no difficulty, directly from the
citizens of Honolulu. If such proves
to be feasible the work can be accom-
plished, but the government could give
no guarantee as to repayment, though
undoubtedly the Legislature would re-
coup the advances made. A commit
tee has been appointed to look into the
matter and it is to be hoped that it
will be able to find a solution to the
difficulty.
