One, Money or No Money
Available.

The House did another good days
business yesterday. While the amount
of labor accomplished was not as great
as that of the day before, it was cred
liable, and contrasted strongly with
the way that body was conducting it
self a month ago.
The committee who were detailed to
wait upon the president of the Wilder
Steamship Company and find out why
passengers had not been allowed TO go
to Molokai, reported their inability TO
locate that gentleman, and requested
to be excused. The request was grant
ed. Several resolutions were introduced
before the House went into executive
session

liberating whether it wanted to recon-
mend the buying of steamship to take
the place of the one now subsidized be-
tween here and the leper settlement

session, and it was not until the after
the matter was settled by a vote that
decided in favor of the proposition, by
the small majority of one All sorts of
arguments were advanced for and
against the proposed scheme. When
the matter was dropped, ii had been
decided that the vessel should not cost
more than s35, 900, and that sum,
which should be settled upon by a spe-
