IN THE HOUSE.

Nv I'LL ts0SS.s
Under suspension of the rules House
Bill No. 5, the expense bill properly
drawn was passed finally by q to 2,
Pulaa and Paele voting against the bill.
]. d. McVeigh memorialized the
Legislature suggesting that each men,
ber OF the House contribute so cents for
a purse for the races to be known as
the legislative purse. The House cheer
fully made up purse Of $l7.45 which
will be sent to Molokai.
NakaIeka introduced a resolution
asking for the appropriation of sl50S.6 60
to pay for paiais refused landing at
Kalaupapa. The matter was referred
to a special committee consisting of
Harris, Nakaleka and Haia.
The House went into committee of
the whole on Senate Bill No. 4, the un
paid bills measure, and Kupihea was
called to the chair.
Vida began to work by moving the
insertion of $500 for the unpaid bills
of the Police Department, he saying
that the money was very much needed,
as the six months bill does not carry
to go on properly. The item was in
serted in the bill.
HAWAII POLICE ONCE MORE.
On motion of Pulaa, the item for re-
endorsement of police of Hawaii, 1884,
passed yesterday, was reconsidered.
He said there We're many officers not
included in the list as put In yesterday,
North kohala men being omitted. The
additions made the total $l67i. Kaniho
thought the reimbursement should COW
er the entire period covered by the last
appropriation bill, and he moved that
special committee be appointed to in
vestigate the entire amount of the de-
ductions. Fernandez thought there
should be a full list secured from the
Sheriff of Hawaii Chilingworth op-
posed this saying the bill under con-
sideration was almost finished and it
would mean a great loss of time He
thought the easiest plan was to strike
out the item and when the information
was secured then separate bill might
be put through.
Kalama said during the regular ses-
sion a subsidy had been passed for the
wireless telegraph and he thought the
proper thing was to depend on the
wireless and have the information by
Monday. Chillingworth called his at
tention to the fact that the subsidy
would not be operative until Kauai was
in connection with oahu.
NOT REALLY UNPAID BILL.
Andrade called attention TO the fact
that the item was not strictly an un-
paid bill and the point might lie against
it that II could not be collected, as the
warrants were properly drawn and re-
ceipted.
Kaniho insisted that there should be
consideration given to all those whose
salaries We're docked, and he thought
$4,000 might well be appropriated in a
lump sum to pay all claims. The dis
cussion became general but not strict
ly coherent. Vida finally moved to
change the wording so that the ap-
preparation would be $l67i for pay of
telephones used by the police amounts
advanced by the following persons, to
be certified by the Sheriff of Hawaii"
In this form the item passed
FOR PLAGUE SUPPLIES.
Chillingworth moved to insert under
the head of the Department of Public
Works an item of S72.50 for the estate
Of u. G. Camarinos. The item was for
apples furnished to detention camps,
and Chillingworth said they We're not
paid because Theodore Richards would
not o. X. all the bills as some were de-
livered to camps where We're Hawai-
ians, while he was in charge of Jap
anese.
FOR MOLOKAI PLAGUE GUARDS.
Kaniho moved to insert an item of
5000 for pay guards at Molokai, dur
ing plague times. He said the guards
We're appointed by the agent of the
Board of Health after a mass meet
ing. Fernandez suggested special
committee and then Harris declared
that there was no authority for the
employment of those men, and that If
the Molokai men We're not mora worthy
of pay than the guards on all other
islands.
Gandall told how the people of Kauai
got out and guarded that island, the
rich and poor alike working 10 protect
the island from the dreaded disease.
He said this was the duty of all good
citizens at all time He told how the
people met at Lihue and orders We're
issued protecting the islands from the
coming of infected laborers. He cited
instances of the way In which the peo-
pie worked to keep that island clean
and closed by declaring that IL was the
