FoRENsIos OF SENATE.
Russell Earns His Stipend by One
Speech.

The Senate met yesterday forenoon,
and worked so hard that they thought
| that several days rest We're coming to
! them, and adjourned until Monday
morning. Immediately upon assem-
bling, the following recommendations
were made by the public lands COM
mittee:
To appropriate $1,000 to erect build
ings and remove the present reforma-
| tory school for boys to the government
road between Kahuku and Laie. This
had already been recommended by the
Department of Education. Your COM
mittee considers that this should BE
done, as the present location is not
sufficient land for an industrial school.
But your committee considers this
should be done out of loan funds, and
would recommend that IL be inserted
if loan bill is passed
To appropriate $4,000 for reforma-
tory girls school where the present
school for boys is now. Your commit
tee considers that an industrial school
/ for girls without proper homes is
much needed; but does not consider
the present reformatory school the
| proper location, although it could be
used until a better location could be
obtained. We would recommend that
the item be inserted as the former one.
To appropriate $4,000 for Lahaina-
! luna SEMINARY. our mas
| that most of the buildings of this in
stitution are old and past repair. We
! have interviewed the Department of
Education, who estimated the cost at
about 900 to rebuild and equip the
| institution. We would favor this item
if the loan bill had passed. We now
recommend 1t be deferred and the ap-
preparation of $4,000 be increased to
| Sc 900.
Extension of Vineyard street to Ka-
mehameha School. This item we con-
slider covered by the appropriation for
streets for that district.
Fifteen hundred dollars for Kalihi
street from Kaiulani to Kilohana. This
we consider is provided for by the
$4,000 already appropriated for Kalihi.
To widen Pauoa road, $4,000. This
we recommend be inserted in the APP
preparation bill.
Extension of School street to Kane
hameha Fourth road, $780, 900. We have
interviewed the Superintendent of
Public Works, who estimates the cost
at over $4,000. We do not recommend
this item ut the present.
Thirty thousand dollars for King
street and the roads in general around
the Island. We consider this is cover
ed by the general appropriation for
roads in these districts and the road
tax, which is very large in several of
these districts. Item is covered by the
$4,000 appropriation for streets.
Five thousand dollars for all streets
at kakaako we would recommend that
this amount be inserted for South
street, as the Bishop Estate has given
IA free right of way provided this
street is extended within certain
time. There are no other government
streets at Kakaako
Five thousand dollars for public
~. a1ttl,,
recommend this item be inserted in
the appropriation bill, and also an item
of $4,000 for care of cemeteries in gen
eral, as the cemetery at Makiki is
being washed out on one side, by the
water from the hills, and needs a con-
crete wall to protect the graves.
After this item had been passed,
several of the members adjourned to
the lanai until the subject of the band
came up. DR.. Russell made a speech
against the appropriation. The expa-
triated subject of the Gear of all the
Russias made the oratorical effort of
his life. He asked that all the items |
referring to the appropriation for the !
band be stricken from the bill When !
the man from Olaa sat down he had |
nothing to comfort him but the for |
lorn thought that he had done his best |
to earn his salary, and if vocal eXer-
ton and arm swinging amounted to |
he certainly had no cause to
complain. Neither had his constitu-
ents The opponent of the Russian !
was Kalauokalani and so far as the ,
Independents We're concerned, ii was |
all over but the shouting with the doe
tor.
y majority report, recommending |
that Fred Harrison, Charles Wilcox, !
and the Paia plantation be not allowed |
the bills they had presented, was
read. The expenses Were incurred |
during the plague, when the petition
ers performed certain services that
they held Were in the interest OF the
government, and for which, according
ly, they should be reimbursed. A war
of words ensued between Russell and
Achi. Achi said that as matter of
principle, the bills should be laid on
the table until such time as the com
mlttee had made thorough and
palnstaking analysis OF the various
matters If these persons had not been
recompensed, IL was the plain duty of
the Territory TO pay them back every
cent that was coming TO them II
made no difference who the men were.
The matter was purely ethical one,
and the Senate should act from a de-
sire TO do It's duty 10 the rich and the
poor alike,
This set Or, Russel going once more.
