referred to Pulaa and Fernandez, Ka-
lama, Vida, Kupihea and Kali.
When the item detective services"
was reached Kupihea moved that it be
stricken out as there was too much de-
tective service. On motion of Vida
however it was passed at S24OO, to be
divided as follows: Oahu. $1,000; Ha-
waii, $500; Maui. $500; Kauai, $500.
TREAsURER's SALARY.
The Treasury department was here
brought up and Immediately there arose
a question OF equity. Harris moved to
make the salary $500, the same as that
put down for the Attorney-General
Aylett supported this as did Keala-
waa, both saying that it would be in
Justice to decrease the salary where
the office was filed by white man and
hold 1t up where a Hawaiian was in
office. Fernandez naively said that all
an AttOrney-General had to do was to
look at the law, while the Treasurer
had to look after the money, supervise
the work of the office, have charge of
insurance and other matters. Kaniho
broke out in a new place. making n
long speech on the basis that the
Treasurer had no assistants, had to do
all himself, and therefore was entitled
to more pay than the Attorney-General
who had assistants.
Harris showed by the figures that
were used yesterday against the Attor-
ney-GeneraTs salary. that no state in
the Union paid its Attorney-General
less than its Treasurer and also that the
Treasurers of great States got less sala-
~ than was proposed here. He argued
that he thought all heads of DEPART
ments should have S2.25O but that the
work upon the various heads was pro-
portionate. Harris said economy would
be better displayed by cutting out
superhuous clerks. In closing he urged
that all of the heads should be put on
the same basis. Pulaa wanted action
deferred but the House would not,
neither would it agree to pass the item
at $500. the economists of yesterday

IN THE HOUSE.

As soon as the House got down to
business it was to hear the report of the
conference committee on the $1,000 ex-
pense bill, which had been amended as

QUIT THE ECONOMY PLAN.
The House had recovered from it's fit
of economy and refused to cut the
deputy sheriff OF Maui from $3.50 to $500.
The Hama deputy sheriff was given
$3.50 instead of S42O. and new deputy
was proposed for Honuaula at s270,
this bringing up a long discussion.

Mr.. Helm has seen Col. Duyal, who is
chief quartermaster in San Francisco,
and the recommendation has been made
that the matter be taken up with Gen
eral Humphreys of the Department,
who is expected to arrive in San Fran
cisco soon. The committee of the Mer-
chants Association recently took up
this matter, and then it was expected
that Gen. Humphreys would pass
through in the Siberia. on his way back
from the Philippines. but the letters re-
ceived by the steamer of yesterday
from Mr.. Helm, lead to the belief that
this course has been abandoned, and
that the general is journeying in a
transport.
The letter from Secretary Helm, re-
ceived yesterday by the officers of the
Association, asks for the prices of coal
here, as that factor will be important

JIG. PRATT SHOULD
HAVE SOME MONEY

Editor Advertiser: At last the so
much talked about and desired million
dollars, voted us by Congress, to pay
our so-called fire claims, have arrived.
and though most of the claimants do
not feel altogether satisfied on account
of the long wait and insufficient award
for the enormous loss some of thena
sustained in the destruction of their
property, yet they are getting some
| thing and feel relieved. and therefore
should acknowledge Uncle Sans gem
crosby and be thankful for his gift.
But in doing so. we should not forget
the man through whose exertions We
obtained this donation, for everybody
knows how small were our hopes and
chances to get our petition for assist
ance to Congress granted, in fact but
few of us expected to see anything ac-
complished: of course there was a
chance, no matter how small, and if
under such circumstances Mr.. Pratt
was successful, it was due to his skill
and untiring efforts, and therefore, we
should recognize his services and give
him full credit for what he has done.
If Congress had left us to shoulder
our own burden, it would have meant
an increase of taxes to do halfway
justice to our people, who through the
condemnation-pro of the Board
of Health, in good many cases, lost ev-
erything they possessed. so that really
all of US have reaped an indirect if not
direct benefit.
1 therefore believe to voice the senti-
ment of the taxpayers, if 1 suggest to
our legislature now in session, a sub
stantiaI recognition of the valuable ser
vices rendered the Territory by Mr..
Pratt.
1t is true the Chamber of Commerce
paid or rather advanced Mr.. Pratt's
expenses to washington, besides
monthly allowance for his family dur
ing his absence, but 1 am confident that
for himself he could have as well, if
not better. at home. and avoided tire
some trip but being prompted by his
desire to help the people and the Ter
ritorial Government, he undertook the
mission, and having been successful be-
yond all expectations, is well deserving
of a remuneration.
