vail had a cable been in operation, but
at present it was impossible for him to
be out of reach of Washington for a
single day. He stated that he would
surely come to Hawaii before his term
was over, but, in the meantime, the
House must pay strict attention to its
duties, for the good of the taxpayers
and the Home Rule party.
In concluding his remarks to me, the
FL esident said that Hawaii must look
out for herself, for if she did not, no one
else would.
II was very courteously received by
everyone while in San Francisco, and
YVES presented with a complimentary
ass on the transport Lawton by the
President. In closing, he assured me
oee1 and over again that the people of
Hawaii nei would never be forgotten"
Beckley sat down amid a round of
applause from the Republican side.
There was disappointment written on
the faces of his followers. No one had
been roasted, no one had been prodded
said might have been said as easily
while staying in Honolulu, as after
making voyage of 1000 miles and re-
turn.
After the lobby of the House had
cleared itself of the BeclSley constitu-
ency, who had come to hear their IA
vorite, Emmeluth arose and stated
that the attorney who was represent
ing the government before the Fire
Commission, was in no way connected
with the Office of the Attorney Gener-
- = l.. Al
than scheme by which designing pol
iticians were creating positions for
such lawyers as they wished to feed at
the public crib. In concluding, Emme-
luth offered the following resolution:
Resolved, that the clerk of this
House direct an inquiry to the Attor-
ney General requesting information as
to why either he or one of his assist
ants cannot represent the government
before the Fire Claims Commission;
also, as to the evidence collected by
the government, whether the same is
available for use before the court
Upon the adoption of the resolution,
Enmeluth made another resolution to
the effect that since BeckIey had re-
turned, Mossman be allowed to read
his report on the matter of public
health once more. The spellbinder who
lis opposed to post-mortems and sewer
inspectors, demurred, however, and
upon the suggestion of Beckley, the
whole matter was put over until this
morning.
The appropriation bill appeared upon
the scene once more. Prendergast, out
of respect to Beckley, moved that the
entire matter of salaries be reconsid-
cred. Beckley said he would appre-
ciate the courtesy, if extended, espe-
Ieially the words of Mckinley, keep
expenses as low as is consistent with
good government" We're still ringing
in his ears.
The committee on public lands ana
internal Improvements requested that
as the hour of noon had arrived they
be allowed to defer making a report
until 2 o'clock. The request was al
lowed, and the House took recess
until that hour.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Shortly after o'clock the speaker
raped for order, and the committee
on public lands and internal improve
ments read their report. 1t had most
lily to do with salaries. The Depart
ment of Public Works was the partfc-
ular branch of the Territorial service
that occupied the attention of the law
makers during the afternoon A large
number of salaries were arranged for
the biennial period.
