Dr. Russell caused quite a bit OF con
troversy over his proposal to have a

lished at Hilo. Senator Achi fought
the measure with considerable vehem-
cnco. He said that the veterinary sur
geun at Hilo was trying to feather his

AFTERNOON SENATE.
Ship subsidies are thing of the past
as far as the Senate is concerned. with
a great flourish of the Organic Act and
the expenditure of much wind power, the
Senators yesterday afternoon voted down
the item in the Appropriation bill to sub
sidize a steamer to make several ports
on the Island OF Molokai with more or
less regularity. The matter was thor
oughly threshed out, Senator Kalauoka-
,ani contending for the subsidy from
FIRST to last
Senator Paris thought It was time to
leave out the subsidy, as there was bus
mess enough now on the Island of Mo-
lokai for the inhabitants thereof to make
it a point to have the steamers stop
there, without getting Government as
sistance. Kalauokalani said that in ap-
pearance Molokai was shaped like a
horses tail-very long-and there was
much difficulty In steamers going around
from one port to another. He thought
the Legislature would cause distress
amongst the people If they did not af-
lord them the means whereby they could
obtain supplies. He urged the Senators |
10 "see" his way and vote for the SUBJ
;idy, which was 5000. He further con-
ended that the fishing around Molokai |
was excellent, but that on account of |
he steamers being so slow, the fish |
'ould not be brought fresh to Honolulu.
lie thought the subsidy would help mat
ers out somewhat.
oily Bill White did not like the word
subsidy" he was of the opinion that
f the word encourage" was substituted

he item. Kanuha put the Organic Act
n evidence as the best argument against

+ the Senators really wanted to pass
he item, he would favor raising it to
1900. Upon vote being taken, the
TEN was killed, four members only vot-
ng for it.
The public hospitals also shared we'll in
he distribution of the public funds
'hen the Treasurer gets any. Senator
'arter made a plea for the recognition
t all public institutions and not meI ely
hose which were patronlzed by Hawaii
ms alone. He asked them to view the
ituation from a humanitarian stand
oint, and give to one institution as to
mother. His reasoning had a good eff {
ect, for at the close Of the voting upon
hese items the list stood:
