Humphreys Replies Holly.

Humphreys again arose to reply to
Judge Smith. He said he had the cour
age Of his convictions at all times. He
spoke of David y. Hills eschewing q
cumbersome platform which was shown
him by "a committee, saying his only
platform was, II am a Democrat" He
thought with the elements in these ISL
ands IL was sufficient to enable him to
bear to the borders of the group the plat
form, II am Republican" which would
be sufficient. With the large report
handed in the convention and every one
would be embarrassed by the technical
resolutions therein. He did not impeach
the honesty or integrity of the gentle
men on the committee He did not chal-
honesty, fidelity and integrity of each
member of the committee. The ablest
men were apt to make mistakes. There
were portions of the report which should
be criticized, and he believed he had a
right to rise and object to anything he
did not agree to.

Judge Smith during the progress of
MT. Achis speech was getting a little
nervous and anxious to take the floor He
got IL as soon as Achi sat down. and kept

Humphreys Opposed.

J. ID. Paris of the Second District stat
ed that he understood the committee had
the power to draft rules for the Terri
torial convention and for the general
ruling of the Republican party. He did
not think the committee exceeded its
powers, and did not believe in throwing
the report back in the face of the COM
mittee. George Mcleod made an original
motion that the report be translated into
the Hawaiian language. printed and
placed I'm the hands of the delegates at
today's session. Mr.. Farner of the Sixth
District thought the convention should
proceed with the election of the perma-
nent chairman and secretary, and get
down to the business of the election of
delegates to the national convention.

Debate Grows Tiresome.

Others took part in the debate which
be gan to stretch itself out into never
ending series of fiery speeches. w. o.
Aiken, as "a member of the committee,
said he had no intention 'of freezing
anybody out" G. Il. Wilson arose amid
cries of Question, Question" and said
he thought vote upon McLeod's motion
would be the easiest way out of the
difficulty. G. NJ. White inquired whether
the deferring of action on the report
would prevent the convention from going
ahead with other matters. John Scott
moved that the report be made the first
business of the convention today. Hum
phreys called the attention OF the chalr
that his motion to refer the report back
to the committee to strike out certain
portions of it, had been seconded by Loe-
bernstein. Humphreys motion was put

sor to the late Bishop M. N. Gilbert
Bishop H, B. Whipple was present, and
at the close of the discussion 1t was an
nounced that he would not ask for an
assistant when the church council meets
in st. Paul,sin June.
1t had been expected that bishop CO.
adjutor would be chosen at the coming
meeting Of the council. Now 1t is decided
by the stand of Bishop Whipple that no
such action will be taken.
With one exception Bishop WhippIe is
the oldest active bishop of the church in
the United States. He is Is years old
and has served as a bishop for forty
years. all of which time he has spent
in Minnesota. When Bishop Gilbert was
elected coadiutor he was allowed to take
charge of all the active work of the
diocese. This lasted for thirteen years.
at the end Of which time Bishop Whip

The members of the standing commit
tee present yesterday were as follows:

A case was yesterday certified to the
supreme court by Judge Caldwell, of the
Eighth district, involving the question
Of the years for which the forfeited tax
sale should be made applicable The de-
cision of the lower court contends that as
delinquent taxes were placed In judgment,
they, like other judgments, outlaw in six
years. The supreme court yesterday set
the case for hearing next Monday, as the
sale is to be held the week following
Should the supreme court hold with
Judge Caldwell the state will be out the
ing in 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891 and 1892. For the
act of 1899 valves prior judgments with
costs and penalties, and expressly pro-
vides that the owners Of delinquent lands
may redeem them by payment of the
taxes and 10 per cent interest. This not
only valves all costs, but reduces the in
terest or penalty from II to 10 per cent.
Judge Harrison, of Hennepin county,
holds that the legislature waived prior
judgments when, in providing for the
Judgment under which the delinquent
lands are to be sold In May, it failed to
mention such judgments, but provided in
stead merely for the payment of taxes
and interest"
That question is also before the supreme
court.
The act provides for the collection of all
taxes delinquent prior to 1895, and Il the
statute Of limitations does not run against
the state in this case, taxes will be col
lected back as far as 1883. If the statute
does run against the state they can be
collected only as far back as 1898, or six
