ing and advertising was left al s. Sos.

ing and advertising was left at $500.
Prendergast moved that s., 100 be ex-
pended for United States weights and
measures and incidentaIs. The appropri-
alton met with no objection.
Monsarrat objected to the incidentals
and travelling expenses of the Auditing
Department being reduced from 5000 to
50, 600 This was passed.
Once more the Band took the center of
the stage. Aylett moved that the Incl
dentals, uniforms, car fare new music,
repairs, express, etc, which stood at 81,
400 in the bill, be made $1,000
Emmeluth moved that the matter be
referred TO the Oahu Committee. The
motion was lost, and the appropriation
of 5000 was passed without a dissenting
voice
Aylett asked that $500 be inserted IN
the bill for trips of the Band to the other
Islands. The trip could be made for
about that sum. Hogs suggested that
the Band travel in the new steamer, pro-
vided for the day before. Emmeluth said
he was opposed to such junketing and
moved that the item be stricken out.
Kaniho seconded the motion made by
Emmeluth. Kaniho said ne could come
to Honolulu and hear the band when
ever he wanted music. He was not aux-
ious to have the Band touch at Hama
kua-
Hoogs spoke at greater length in favor
of his suggestion that the prospective
Government transport take the band
from Island to Island. Then, said ne,
if the steamship broke down, the Gov
eminent would have money enough to
send after the ship and bring il back TO
Honolulu.
Beckley suggested that the Secretary
the Band to play at the departure OF the
Island steamers. When foreign ships
came the Band played without a muir
muir Transports. European war vessels
and passenger steamships had due at
tention, but the, taxpayers OF the Terri
tory might come and go and the Band
paid them no attention. So far as he
was concerned. Beckley said that he
would not, under any condition, vote for
these extended excursions for the Band
Aylett, the champion OF the music-ma-
kers, made another fervid address for
the dispensers of melody. He put all the
blame upon the shoulders of the taxpay-
ers who took little or no interest in the
Band Captain Berger and his twenty
and four good men and true were always
willing TO play. During the monarchy
the Band used to travel among the ISL
ands, but during the time Of "Emmeluth
& Co." this sort of thing had been stop
ped The reason the Band plays at the
foreign wharves is to sustain its reputa-
ton. The people of the Islands already
know what the musicians can do in the
way of matters musical. Aylett read a
San Francisco newspaper clipping Of re-
: cent date praising the Band. He read the
article with considerable effect His eff
forts were greeted with applause on al
sides.
The motion to send the Band on four
annual trips. including the Leper Settle
ment, was put. but before 1t could be
voted upon Enmeluth made hard-tmes
talk and moved that the whole item be
stricken out
| Hoogs suggested that when the new
boat went after cattle il could take the
band with it-"and Emmeluth, too," ne
added. Beckley informed the House thai
the Senate had passed this appropriation
at S, 900. II there was change made II
the figures another fight would result
Let the House settle on the same sum.
Because the Senate makes asses Of
themselves, is that any reason why the
House OF Representatives should follow
suitY'' shouted Emmeluth.
Beckley asked the political Ishmaelite i
he intended to insinuate that the differ
ent members Of the House were asses
Emmeluth said that he did not, unless
they voted for the measure under discus
sion.
Kaniho spoke at length, asking that th'
