MIR. Jones asked II in fuur" there

Minister Cooper replied on the same
principle as they We're making arpro-
priations for the custom house and post
Office. 4 he item was intended not only
for San Francisco but ports the world
over.
Mr. Kaalukou thought the item not
large enough, since San Francisco had
gone short last year.
Mr. Robinson said the item was in.
tended to cover the interim until
American law comes into force, and
moved the item pass.
Mr.. Jones moved to change the oh

Expenses Hawaiian Exhibit at Paris,
1900, $4,000.
Mr.. Kennedy asked If there was any
knowing how this money was to be
spent.
Minister Mott-Smith said the expen-
ditures thus far were little more than
$4,000, for collecting exhibits. He eX-
planned the scope of the display to be
maed at Paris. IGcuromy had been
subserved by causing the different de-
partments to contribute to the Hawa
iian exhibit. Owing to the quarantine
here the sending of the articles had
been delayed, nut the management had
granted until after May to install the
Hawaiian collection.
Mr.. Kennedy asked IL the Hawaiian
articles had not been cast into a ne
elected corner at the previous Paris
exposition. On President Dole's ans
wering that this was a mistaken i'm
preston, Mr. Kennedy asked of what
benefit the representation at Paris
would be to this country.
President Dole, answering questions
In Hawaiian by Mr.. Kaulukou, gave
some information about the collection
obtained especially for Paris and other
articles from the Omaha exposition 20
be forwarded. He also replied to Mr..
Kennedy as to the advantages to be
expected. Some people might regard 1t
as sentimental, but the United States
Government was eager to have q dis
play of products of the new posses
sions. The business men composing
the Chamber Of Commerce evidently
believed the expenditure would have
good results in advertising the Islands.
Mr. Allen spoke of the expenditure
being in the responsible hands OF w.
G. Irwin, who as commissioner would
undoubtedly render an account.
Mr.. Gear questioned whether the
item came under the character of crler-
gency.
The item passed.
Mr.. Gear asked il the Executive had
received any further communication
from Washington which might tnIow
new light on the authority OF the Cuun-
Gil of State.
President Dole replied that he had
received letter from Secretary Hay
confirming his previous telegram and
enclosing copy of same. This letter.
perhaps. made the power III the toun-
Gil OF State narrower than had been
assumed.
Mr. Kennedy remarked that then the
President meant to say that Secretary
Hay confirmed the tc'c.lam written
by official Delegate Hartwell.
The President promised to produce
the letter II desired a. next meeting.
