The appropriation bill sustained q
luxurious growth through the insfru-
mentality OF the Senate yesterday.
Before the lawmakers adjourned the
territorial expenses were materially
increased. Salaries were restored to
the figures as in the original bill. Adj
ditlonal items were inserted with a
reckless abandon. Throughout, the
third reading of the bill was most
beneficial to any and all items which
had been subjected to the pruning
knife at previous sessions.
The salary OF the chief clerk in the
Secretary's office was raised from $685.
600 10 $500 and then came the salary of
the Judiciary Department clerk which
was, on second reading. passed at So
600. The motion of Mr.. White to raise
the salary to $4,000 was finally lost.
Mr.. Paris moved to increase the item
to $500, the old salary of Henry
Smith. This carried.

First Circuitl, raised frmo $4,000 to
$1,000: Portuguese Interpreter and

Magistrate. Lahaina, Third Glass, from
$4,000 to $2400; District Magistrate
East and West Kona, Fourth Glass,
from $3.50 to $500.
The clerk had read the item "Sal-
airy of Attorney-General. sS000." Mr..
kalauokalani arose and asked to in
crease the amount to $4,000. The Re-
publicans were in favor of the raise
and the Independents said nothing
more after Mr.. Kalauokalani had
finished speaking. The item passed
at $4,000.
Clerk to High Sheriff. $4,000 to S.
500: Clerk to Sheriff OF Hawaii. $500
to s2400; Clerk to Sheriff OF Kauai,
$500 to $1,000; Clerk to Sheriff of Maui.

Deputy Sheriff of Waialua, $1,000 to

Under suspension of rules, Mr..
Crabbe read a petition from Frederick
Harrison, which was referred to the
Committee on Public Expenditures.
The petition read:
That your petitioner has for the last
twenty-one CID years carried on the
business of contractor and builder in
the Hawaiian Islands;
That on and between the 18th and
18th days of January, 1900. he was

Board of Health to prepare several
rooms in the block in Honolulu bound
ed by King. Alakea. Richards and
Merchant streets for the fumigation of
the goods and furniture in the several
houses and stores in the said block
preparatory to removal.

ed all the goods and furniture in such
block into such fumigation rooms and

bill Of charges for the performance
of the said work to the Board Of

consideration to the Committee o.
Public Health of this Honorable House

sight your petitioner was not given al
opportunity of explaining the said bill

ted from such bill.
Wherefore your petitioner prays tina

The Senate held a short but liveI,
session in the afternoon The unpail
