ANGERED AT MESSAGE FROM
ACTING GOVERNOR.
Several Committee Reports Consume
the Morning Session of the House.
Akina Forblds Expectoratlng.

The House of Representatives did
nothing this morning Of exceptional in
terest. Emmeluth became incensed at
the sight of Acting Governor Cooper's
name signed to a message, and made
his customary speech.
The first report of the day swas
made by the committee who had the in
terests of the boat boys under their
charge. MOssman made an oral report
in which he said that the committee
had made an investigation of the mat
| ter. The boys prefer to be paid a reg
ular monthly salary instead of being
paid by the trip. Often the boys have
to row out as far as Diamond Head,
| sometimes beyond. When the pilot
| goes on board, they do not follow him,
but stay in the boat. When storms
came, they were forced to go out just
| the same. When waited in by the
committee the boys said they ought
to get $50 a month. Later they recon
| sdered this matter, and agreed to work
| for $50 a month.
The boat boys also complained of the
living accommodations at the pilot
| house. There were no beds nor hunks
/ for the rowers, who are compelled to be
at that building all the time, in order to
! be ready to go to sea at any moment.
There are eight of these boys, said
| Mossman, who are always on duty.
! The motion to appropriate $500 to the
| boat boys for salary was tabled.
| Emmeluth said that the message sent
| to the House by the Acting Governor
was overstepping his position by send
/ ing a message to the house. He said
| Governor Cooper was "reigning" and
passed some other complimentary re-
marks of a like nature.
II Hoogs referred Emmeluth to the Or
| ganic Act, to find out what the duties
and provinces of the Governor of Ha-
waii might be.
i The message which caused all the
trouble read as follows:
To the Legislature of the Territory of
| Hawaii:

the Attorney General to the effect that
Act Il of the Session Laws of 1896 en-
titled AN Act to Provide for Public

appearing from the statement of the
Treasurer of the Territory that there
still remain unissued bonds to the
amount of $4,000 authorized by said

appropriation bill making special ap-
propriations for the use of the Terri
