Preudergast GndJ promptly moved
10 table the communication. Makekau
GndD wanted the matter to go over
until Monday. Emmeluth Und) said
there was no necessity of the House
wasting any time on that as the Or
ganiC Act was very plain on that score.
lie declared that United States was in
control here now, and not a class-fOs
tering government, and the United
States did not pay any subsidies.
Hoogs CRep) suggested that the Unit
ed states did pay the Oceanic Steam
ship Company a subsidy. but Emmc-
luth declared ii was simply mail
contract that they held with the Am
erican government and not a subsidy.
Hoogs still contended that it was a
$lj,O 900 subsidy, but Emmeluth persist
ed that it was not. Makekau Und.)
again got the floor and attacked EN-
meluth, claiming that he was not con-
sistent: that he had insisted on the
message going over until the courts
should decide whether the Governor
was disabled or not, but that he was
not willing to even allow discussion on
the O. r. e L. matter. Kaniho Und)
seconded Makekau's argument, but the
motion to table carried.
The House then proceeded to discuss
what the various committees had been
doing during the past three days when
they We're supposed to have been at
work. Makainai Qnd). chairman of
the committee on public lands, said
that he had no report. for he had al
ready made one, which had been ta-
bled. Emmeluth, chairman of the ju-
dietary committee and finance commit
reports, because the other committees
had not given him the necessary infOr-
nation. Ewaliko Und) said the mill
tary committee was nearly ready, but
had little more information to get.
Prendergast Gnd) said that the agri-
culture and forestry committee would
soon be ready.
Finally, Monsarrat (Rep) presented
a unanimous report from the select
committee on the pay Of stenographers,
which appears below. The report was
tabled for consideration later. IL 1t
is adopted, the old system Of making
the Territory pay the expenses of pri-
vate cases will be continued. The re-
port reads:
