THE LEGISLATURES 100000 ABOUT
SPENT.
Members Lost No Time, But Drew
Before Notice of Signing the Appro-
priation Act Was Read.

About $4,000 are left of the 100000
appropriated for the expenses of the
extra session of the legislature. No
time was lost in getting the cash, mem
bers not even waiting till the houses
had been formally given the official no.
tice that the bill had been signed. In
House and Senate the letter announ-
cling that Acting Governor Cooper had
signed the act was read yesterday. 1t
was bit of stale news for about half
the money had been drawn on Satur-
day.
On Friday last, the act to appropri-
ate money for the purpose of defray-
ing the expenses of the extra session
and the unpaid bills of the regular
session of the Legislature of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii, was signed by Acting
Governor Henry L. Cooper.
A large portion of the appropriation
was for paying the salaries of the Sem
ators and the Representatives. There
has been SIS, ,177.36 drawn from the fund.
OF this sum $4,000 is for salaries of the
40 Senators and Representatives; $500
is for mileage, making a total of $4,000
that has gone into the pockets of the
lawmakers. The remaining $S,577. SO
represents salaries of the officers in the
two houses; bills for printing, station
cry and other incidentals. There re-
mains at the demand of the Legisla-
tors $ll, l,S2264. According to present
estimates, when all debts are paid,
there will still be left in the public
Golfers about $4,000.
Though Acting Governor Cooper
signed the act on Friday, the houses
did not hear the notice formally read.
of the measure having met the execu-
tive's approval, until Monday. This did
not deter the Representatives of the
people from securing their salaries how
ever. The Committee on Accounts is
sued the warrants to the Representa-
tives, who cashed the same on Satur-
day afternoon.
Treasurer Wright is only paying war
rants drawn for salaries and pay-rolls
| at the present time. He has ruled thai
| these may be paid at once, but that
other warrants must be registered anS
take their turn for payment in the
| future.
| This policy of the treasurer accounts
| for the large amount of cash left in
| hand, in comparison to the actua
amount left when bills are paid 1t is
| understood that the house will pass g
| resolution when it meets again, to bring
| about payment of all warrants as they
| are drawn. There are kicks coming be
cause of the ncn.payment of warrants

CORoNER's JURY MEETS.
To Consider the Cause of Charles Bonn
bays Death.

This afternoon, the coroner's jury in
the matter of the death of Charlie Bonn
bay, alias Jackson, met long enough to
take the testimony of KAPPA, the trusty
who first saw the attack upon the de-
ceased by Xxi the cellmate of Bombay.
According to Kaapa's statement the
men who were both arrested for drunk
enness had not been in the cell longer
than five minutes, possibly not more
than three, when Kiki kicked Bombay
in the face four times and also hit him
with his foot in the abdomen. When
assistance came, Bombay was found to
be so badly injured that he was taken
to the Queens Hospital. His condition
owing to the severe nature of his inju-
ries, his age, and his poor physical con-
dition, soon resulted fatally, and in a
few days he died.
Charles Bombay was South African
by birth, 80 years of age. He was a
well known character about town, and
while not a man of great value to the
community, was generally liked be-
cause of his extreme good nature.
Kiki, as soon as his victim had been
removed to safe quarters was placed
under arrest. charged with assault and
battery. Upon the death of Bombay
he was charged with the graver offense
of manslaughter.
The coroner's jury will meet again
at o'clock to continue the taking OF
testimony.

WHY BUTCHERS ARE ASKING
MORE.
Claim That They Have Been Selling
At Loss to Themselves-The Two
Markets in Agreement.

Some days ago. the rumor was rife
upon the streets that the meat markets
had combined and an advance in the
price of fresh meats had been made
by the Honolulu Market Company anS
the Metropolitan Meat Company. Ac-
cording to the rumors, prices were to
be advanced anywhere from 10 to 25
per cent all along the line.
The price of certain cuts of meat has
been advanced but prices asked are
not so high as is generally supposed,
say those who have the interests of the
two companies in charge. Manager
Waller of the Metropolitan said this
morning: The price of prime beef has
been raised, because the two companies
felt that they could no longer sell 1t at
the figures which have prevailed here
for some time. Heretofore, it has been
possible to buy piece of prime beef
for the same price 1t could be taken
off the block in San Francisco. In addi-
ton to this, we have to pay heavily for
transportation. All we ask is a living
profit. Our prices here will be govern
ed entirely by the prices in California,
from whence we draw the greater por-
ton of our supply"
Mr.. Davis of the Honolulu Market,
spoke in a similar strain. When ques-
toned regarding the relations of the
two corporations on the subject of sell
contract between this and the other
company regarding the prices asked
for our refrigerated meats. The whole
thing is simply as follows: Both of
use have been selling our best beef for
the same price for which it could be
purchased in San Francisco. In addi-
tion to this. we have cents ~ound,
or 800 a ton to pay for bringing our
meat to Honolulu. We have also
| losses to bear in the way of meat
spoiled by being bruised in shipment,
and thawing. which occasionally hap
pens, when our cargo reaches this end
of its journey an being transferred
from the steamers to the drays. This
being a tropical climate, we cannot
hang our meat in the open air over
night, as is done in the temperate zone.
1t is necessary to keep it in cold stor-
age until we dispose of it.
THE two companies, with these facts
| looking them in the face, came to
mutual agreement to raise the price to
such a figure as would enable them to
sell at a fair gain to themselves. We
have no schedule price for our prime
| cuts, but are being governed entirely
| by the price of beef in California" "

IN THE POLICE COURT.
All Fong is Fined for Resisting Two
Officers.

The wheels of justice moved very
slowly this morning in Judge WilcoXs s
court. Three drunks Malinaski. Soma
and Lyons, were fined 81 and costs.
Malekiele, a native boy of ten or
twelve summers was given six months
in the Reform School, for disobeying
his parents. The father and the mother
say that their erring hopeful insists on
running away from home and remain
ing away for extended periods of time.
He associates with vicious characters
and spends his time and occasional
earnings in shooting craps.
All Fong, the Chinaman who created
a disturbance in the Chinese theatre on
the night of the 18th inst, was acquit-
ted of the charge of assault and bat
terry on an officer. While in a joyful
mood All Fong proceeded to throw some
rotten oranges at the thespians, who
naturally demurred. When officers An
Chez and All On attempted to put him
under arrest. the mongolian resisted
with such vehemence that 1t was nee
essary to thump him over the head with
the butt end of a pistol in order to
make him be good. Judge Wilcox fined
the celestial $25 and costs for his fun

THE LATEST THING IN HOME
RULE SCHEMES.
Waiting for News of the Resolutions
Beckley Took-Proposed Canvass of
The Islands for Signatures.

A petition to remove Governor Dole
is one of the latest ideas among the
Home Rulers who think they can in
fiuence the president to take such a
step. They are waiting to see what
becornes of Representative Beckley
when he gets to San Francisco with the
Home Rule resolutions, for which the
national executive is expected to reach
as soon as he learns of their existence
If advices from the coast and Wash
ington seem to indicate that the Presi-
dent was not enough impressed with
the resolutions, the petition plain will
next have attention. Those who favor
the scheme think they can get up a
monster petition by canvassing the ISL
ands, and they also think that it would
be heavy weight knock at Wash
ington. Home Rule voters would sign
in great numbers, it is claimed.
How could Mckinley ignore a great
petition, signed by big majority of the
natives of Hawaii2" said a Home
Ruler, who has been burning with En-
meluth zeal. He would have to take
notice of the document with it's vast
number of signatures. If we can't ac-
complish our object in one way, we can
try more effective plan.'
The plan is to have Home Rule men
in every district of the islands circulate
copies of the petition and get sigma
lures. When this work was finished,
another member of the party could take
trip 70 Washington and present the
document.
If the petition was like the ones that
have been presented in the Legislature
during the present session, the recei-
vers of it as Washington would have a
pleasant time with the signatures. Pc
titions supposed to have been signed
by hundreds of Hawaiians have had the
appearance of having been signed very
much by the same hand, and others
have been full of jokes, for which the
Hawaiian language allows many op-
portunities in signing names.

CHINEE MELICANs.

The office of Secretary Cooper pres
ented an unusual scene this morning,
when half hundred Chinese, men, wo-
men and children, presented themselves
for certificates as to birth in the Ha-
waiian Islands. Under the latest ruling
of the Secretary of the Treasury, Chi
nese born in the Hawaiian Islands are
American citizens, and the Territorial
Secretary is required to issue to them
certificates of birth. 1t is believed that
several hundred Chinese children will
receive these certificates.

CAOuTCHOuC

The attention of Jared Smith is res
pectfully invited to the matter of the
cultivation of caoutchouc or india rub
ber on the islands. No better line of
experimenting could be devised than
that of testing different places on the
islands as to their adaptibility for this
purpose, and noting results. True, it
would require from seven to ten years
to thoroughly exploit the matter, but
an industry would probably be thereby
established which would prove a source
of profit for the next hundred years
