from Wednesdays doilyD
Yesterday was day of extremes In
the House. The forenoon was spent
in tearing off yards Of eloquence, and
the afternoon was spent In hearing
committee reports The Daniel Web
sters Of the Lower House had their
springs of oratory stirred by the rcso-
luton which was introduced, declaring
positively that the aforesaid members
were unalterably opposed to the benevo-
lent assimilation of the Hawaiian ISL
ands by the state of California. For
two hours the members INDUCED in
stately periods, lofty sentiments, ornate
figures and solid facts. The whole
thing might have been settled in htteen
minutes had the members seen fit TO DO
so. but IL was too good an occasion to
let off steam. Consequently steam was
let of The speakers, with but one or
two exceptions, seemed to feel that such
a step would be nothing short of politl-
cal murder, so far as Hawaii nei was
concerned. Makakau made the best
speech, probably. that was made on the
subject, in that he exposed Humphreys
connection with the plot.
In the afternoon the House met as a
committee of the whole, after the re-
vised report of the Maui committe" had
been presented.
While the House was deliberating on
this part of the days work, strong
plea was made by Hoogs, asking that
the amount expended on the Nahiku
landing be paid the Incorporation by
the government. at whose suggestion the
landing had been taken in hand and nm
ished. a similar report, from an indi-
yidual named Mckay, asking that the
Government pay him the sum OF
1861, was the incentive. to long dis
cussion Upon the conclusion of these,
the report was adopted unanimously
Then the House went into committee
of the whole. and finished the second
reading of the bill.
At the hour of 4:3O an adjournment
was taken until today at o'clock.
MORNING SESSION.
Makekau informed the House that
there were twenty days more of the
present session, and that it was time
the appropriation bill was being put In
shape for presentation to the Cover
nor. The bill should be gone over py
a committee and the items looked over
are necessary.
The appropriation bill should be left
with the Senate, said Beckley. The
Maui report was yet to be considered.
IL the appropriation bill were recalled,
the entire time would be spent in quib-
bling over unimportant details.
The chair then asked the Maui COM
mittee how far they had progressed
with their work. They replied that
they would be ready sometime during
the afternoon.
House Bill 4. which provides for
funds with which to defray the ex-
penses of the present Legislature, was
given it's third reading
Emmeluth asked if the amount to be
voted covered the sum which would
have to be paid for printing the jour
nal Makekau replied in the ahirma
tive.
Beckley suggested that committee
wait upon the Senate. to find out how
the expense bill of that body might be.
There was danger that the Senate
might take everything from the public
treasury. and leave nothing for the
lower house.
Wilcox wanted to know why the
House wanted the journal printed.
Hoogs said that he might be thick
headed. but he did not see the use or
spending 1000 on a journal. Nobody
would ever read 1t. The money might
just as well be thrown into the ocean.
A vote was taken on House Bill 4.
1t was passed by a vote Of Is TO 10.

lows:

After this, Keliikoa introduced the
