XCRAE THE PAESN RICH ORIENTAL ROBES BIG PRICES FOR GIMN RR STATEMENT
THINK THEM
SELVES BADLY TREATED.
Claim They are Misrepresented, and
Make Some Threats of Excluding
Newspaper Representatives.

The members of the House have
commenced to vince at newspaper re-
ports. Some of the members took up
the matter this morning. They are sore.
Beckley made the first kick. He did
not like what was said of his manner
of lunching, in the Advertiser this
morning. TIE was warm in his denun-
citation of the high handed proceedings
of the press as he called it, and favored
ejecting the Advertiser reporter from
the house, If the tone of that paper in
regard to certain members of the house
wasn't tempered with a little more
caution in the future. Kaniho had
bone to pick with the Home Rula"
paper which referred to him as "a
jumping jack" He did not take fancy
to the appellation and said if the news
papers didn't stop these unkindly re-
marks about the different members, he
would present a resolution to have all
newspaper correspondents excluded
from the house.
Makekau said he had a little to say
on the subject also, and suggested, the
speaker ask the Advertiser reporter to
pick up his papers and leave the house,
and thought it would be a good lesson
for the other correspondents. Mossman
referred the house to section 25 OF the
Organic Act, which he said covered the
ground in this matter and asked the
speaker to act accordingly. Aylett then
arose and in fiery speech declared, the
pest thing to do was to fire the Offend
ing papers at once, and then talk to
them about the sinfulness of their
ways. Robertson said such proceed
lngs could not be carried out unless all
papers were excluded, and after a few
remarks from the speaker cautioning
the press to be a little more cautious
in the future the incident was dropped.
At the opening of morning session,
Beckley wanted inserted in his reso-
luton in regard to the names of per-
sons employed by the Territory in the
city of Honolulu, clause to the effect
that not only We're the names desired,
but their term of residence.

the clerk of the Senate. in regard to
the rejection of Bill No. 10. The House
returned the communication to Cayp-
less as his official title as clerk was
not affixed to it.
Ewaliko reported for the Military
Committee on the invitation received
from Adjutant General Soper, National
Guard of Hawaii to attend the con1pe-
titive drill arranged for today, aud
found Adjutant General Soper duly
qualified to tender such an invitation,
and as a matter of courtesy, it should
be accepted.

that when the city and county govern
