IN THE HOUSE.

There were the usual tedious prelim-
inaries attending the opening session oi
the House yesterday. In fact, the Leg
islators could save approximately sixty
hours of the session If they could dis
pense with the daily reading and in
terpretation of the minutes.
The first order, following the APPROX
al OF the minutes, was the reading of
a communication from the Senate re-
citing the passage by that body of GER
tain bills amendatory of the code of the
Territory.
Residents OF Buckles Lane presented
a petition asking for the appropriation
Of s., 600 for the improvement of that
thoroughfare. Referred to the COM
mittee on public expenditures.
The residents of Waialua presented
petition asking for the appropriation of
sz7, 900 for roads and bridges, and $4,000
for macadamizing the main government
road from the native church to the
bridge at Alamuki stream. This also
went to the public expenditures COM
mittee.
A petition was presented to have the
government acquire and operate the
Pahoa waterworks. This last petition
was, on motion, referred to a special
committee consisting of Kumalae, Jae-
ger and Purdy.
The printing committee reported that
the leper bill, the vaccination bill, the
labor bill and various minor measures
had been printed.
RAP AT THE SPEAKER.
Keliinoi presented a resolution TO
amend the rules so as to allow the Is
land of Maui two representatives on the
committee on public lands. He said that
although the Speaker himself was from
Maui yet by some underhand means,
when the list of committees had been
made up, Maui had been entirely over
looked as to membership on this i'm
portant committee.
The Speaker remarked that he was
himself a member, ex-officio, of all COM
mittees, and then the House got into n
tangle from which Harris tried to point
the way out by the suggestion that,
while the Island of Hawaii, with three
members on the committee in question,
was large Island, deserving large rep
resentation, yet he thought Mr.. Fer
nandeZ might be asked to withdraw
under the rules in favor OF some Maui
man. Mr.. Keliinoi declined to accept
this solution. and Chillingworth, who
favored the pretensions of Maui and
said so, moved that the resolution 60
over until tomorrow to permit OF an
accommodation being arranged without
increasing the size of the committee
This carried, and the following resolu'
tions were introduced:
To put In the loan bin the sum Of
5000 for the encouragement ~ IN,
HilO band.
To provide that the clerk of IN,
Fourth Circuit Court and the Fourtl
District Court be- paid salary ~ $40
