MCKINLEY.
He Reports to the House That He Has
Done so-House Adjourns for Three
Days.

The House heard from Beckley this
morning and then adjourneds sfor three
days. 1t is well understood that moth
ing is TO be done until Beckley gets
back and time-Silling will continue un-
Ill he arrives, which is expected to be
on the Mariposa, June A.
Monsarrat introduced the following
resolution:
Whereas, This extra session of the
First Legislature of the Territory of
Hawaii has been in session for sixteen
days, and nothing has been accom-
plished, and
Whereas, For some reason, the
members of this Honorable body. do
not seem inclined to pass the appro-
priation bill at the present time. and,
Whereas, The 100000 appropriated
for the expenses of the extra session is
about exhausted, and in order to save
expense,
BE it resolved That this House, the
Senate concurring, adjourn until the
9Th day of June, 1901"
An avalanche of verbiage followed
the resolution. Some of the members
wished to adjourn until June 18th.
Dickey said that it was understood
Reckley would be back soon and upon
his arrival, something would be done.
presence was necessary to the making
of laws. The whole territory should
not suffer because Beckley was away
from home.
Emmeluth said he had a letter from
Beckley which stated he would be
home on the Goth. After some more
oral sparring, Monsarrat withdrew his
motion. The chair then read the fol-
lowing letter;
Hon. j. A Akina,

/ his western tour and inviting him to

"F. w. BECKLEY,
Delegate from the House.
Occidental Hotel, S. F., Cal, May
21, 1901"
Beckley, Wilcox and Parker. the
three Hawaiians who went to San
Francisco to see President Mckinley
were all SUCCESSFUL in their efforts to
see the nations executive Beckley
and Wilcox, so states Representative
John Emmeluth who received a letter
for the former by the last mail, sue
| ceeded in meeting the President on
May 18th, and on the 2lst, Beckley
again met him, Wilcox having left for
Washington on the day previous.
judging from what Beckley says, it
seems probable that Mckinley will re-
main in California for several weeks
yet, on account of his wifes health.
The Representative wrote that he ex-
pected, if nothing prevented to return
to Hawaii on the Mariposa. which
reaches here on the Both inst.
Parker 1t Is said, also met the Presi-
dent and presented him with such do
| cuments as had been entrusted to his
care. The exact arrival of Parker in
Honolulu is not known.
The Home Rulers practically admit
that they intend doing nothing until
the return of their delegate from the
Pacific Coast.
When the Health bill came up for
consideration, Gilfillan said that the bill
was an insult to public good sense
ana decency. The document was with
out form or order, did away with many
very necessary offices, among which
was an executive head for the Health
department. Some people from Pa
lama might be willing to see such a
measure signed, but he for one, was
unalterably opposed to it. Gjlfllan
moved that the bill be printed. i'm or
der that each of the Representatives
might give the matter his personal at
tention, but the motion was lost.
Emmeluth said in commenting on the
Health bill that it is lacking in prac-
teal matters, There was no executive
ofhcer. no one in authority. The bill
contained no safeguards to preserve the
public health. The money expended
under such condition of affairs as the
! Dill would inaugurate might as well be
dumped into the sea-
Dickey moved that the bill be re-
turned to the Committee on Public
Health, and that the committee be in
structed to confer with the Board of
| Health.
