kauho was applauded throughout his
speech. lie proved very plausible
speaker fun OF ancient sayings ana quo

humor and laughter
llhio complained OF having gore

CauFed from working night and day IN
his endeayors to carry out the wishes OF
his constituents He believed that the
Governor should extend the session for
ten or fifteen days, at Ieast that II such
extension was not anted 1t would be
a misfortune indeed to the cause OF the
Hawaiians. He asked for the support
Of the people.
Kanuha was next. speaking, in the
MAN, as did Kalauokalani. lie was vi
cIous in his remarks and his illusions

PEOPLE who were burnt out of their
homes on the goth of January, 1900, at
the burning of Chinatown. He stated
that the haoles lined the streets of GER

POOR people, who were so unfortunate as
to be among the homeless mass, and
compelled them to walk in streets con-
fined to routes which led to temporary
homes, while any one attempting to es-
cape from IS line of march did so at
the risk OF his or her life. Kanuha
spoke also of the plague scare of the
other day, and said IL the Legislature
had not been in session the City of Ho-
nolulu would have been In a state OF
quarantine and nothing would have saw
ed it. The place would have been burn
ed down and the poor Hawaiians made
to suffer. The Board asked for $4,000
for that purpose, but was refused and
this sum of money was saved from be-
ing squandered He blamed the Republic
cans for everything in reference to the
pr esent predicament OF the Legislature,
adding that the Home Rulers must stick
Ey one and another to make their cause
n success. He believed that the Gov
elnor's refusal to extend the session was
a trick of the Republican party. Nothing
can be done for the benefit of you people
without the Governor gives his consent,
so We must all support this movement
concluded the speaker.
Representative Beckley spoke on the
same subject as the previous orators but
with more force and excitement. He
spoke lengthiy on the loan bill, stating
that the leader of the Republican Sena-
tors called on him today and begged
of him to use his influence to pass 1t as
1t was the most important of the ses-
sion. 81 gave him no satisfaction, ami
when the bill was to come up for action
it could not be produced; good reason
why, l had II in my desk. | kept it
there for purpose. l am not afraid to
speak my mind. My mouth they cannot
tie, my hands are free and l am under
| obligations to no one l work and earn
my own living: l represent the district
| OF the four Islands all in one and that
is me. Although young In years, 1 am
willing to do all that lies in my power
LOT tHe DeHeul VI you, my
1. has been said we had done nothing
only wasted time. The Republicans are
| to blame for the obstruction and the
delay of the work of both Houses--no
one else Is to blame but them. They
know that If we had more time all of
the laws that have been prepared by the
Home Rulers would pass and become
laws of the land They would then lose
their power forever that they are now
I ct IN hold hny
done our duty to you as your representa-
tives and to our country. as 1t has al
ready been explained by those who spoke
before me. We want a little more time
to accomplish our work. and 1t would be
n wrong If all this work so far done
If all this time, labor and money spent
be wasted on the stubborn will of our
Governor, Mr.. Dole, who has refused to
give us n little more time. 1t is his
right to give or not but, gentlemen, you,
the people, have also a right; that right
you must exercise tonight by passing the
resolutions that Will be proposed Later
When that is presented and he still de-
clinos to satisfy our wishes, then we
shall attend to It, and the position he
now, holds will be taken away and he
will be no more known as Governor.
was Il Republican when I was a soldier
and one of those who drilled in that
drill shed there for five months. Talk
about throwing away money, that's
where money was wasted. This Is MOTH
ing in comparison with 1t. I've been
there. You pass the resolutions, then
we viii see what will be the outcome"
Punk spoke next, TO the effect that as
matters in connection with the business
of the Legislature had been already dis
Cussed by the previous speakers, he wish
ed TO be excused from making any re-
marks on It; but one matter We all have
neglected to do In these days of our
troubles; we Haye failed to look to Him
above us sll-He who is everywhere and
can do and undo all things We should
do what King solomon did in his days OF
troubles. The speaker quoted verse
from the Proverbs and wound up by a
quotation from the Book of Daniel
while in the lions dem" he said, "Dan-
lei went on his berded knees and prayed
to his God TO deliver him from his enc
mics. and his prayers were answered:
but" said Punk, you are all standing
