IN The HOUSE.

Under suspension of the rules House
Bill No. 5, the expense bill properly
drawn, was passed finally by % to 2.
Pulaa and Pae1e voting against the bill.
]. d. NcVeigh memorialized the
Legislature suggesting that each mem
Der 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 s17.45 which
will be sent to Molokai.
Nakaleka introduced a resolution
asking for the appropriation of $150S.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 UNI
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
sufficient amounts to permit the work
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 were many officers not
included in the list as put in yesterday,
North Kohala men being omitted. The
additions made the total $1674. Kaniho
Cr,r
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-
auctions Fernandez thought there
should be a full list secured from the
Sheriff of Hawaii. Chillingworth OPP
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 a 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. ChiIIingworth 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 UNI
paid bill and the point might lie against
it that it 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 were locked, and he thought
50, 600 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 1854 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 $3.50 for the estate
of D. C. Camarinos. The item was for
apples furnished to detention camps,
and Chillingworth said they were rot
paid because Theodore Richards would
not o. K. all the bills as some were de-
livered to camps Wnere were aAWdi-
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
were 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 IL
the Molokai men were 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 to 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
