HONOLULU WHARVES
ARE TO Be GIVEN
A HANDSOME SUM
Continued from page u

This allows the Governor TO veto
one or more items in any appropria-
ton bill, and acting under this power
every item vetoed is a distinct act by
| the Governor which must be repassed
if his veto is to be overrldden."
WRIGHT ITEM IS KILLED.
The communication was ordered
spread on the Journal after which an
effort was made to have consideration
of the veto put over until Friday, Har-
ris saying the Senate had put it up to
the House to act first on the Pauoa
] bill, and that now the House should
! await action by the Senate. A motion
to adjourn was then made and lost and
the consideration of the Wright item
$50 was taken up. Wright wanted It
placed last but the House would not
and he then suggested that he would
withdraw the claim, but that was i'm
possible and the voting proceeded, the
veto being sustained by ten ayes to
eleven noes.
The Amara fire claim next came up,
Paele explaining that the House should
stand by the widows and orphans. The
vote on this item was then called and
the result was only seventeen votes
against the veto, which in consequence
was sustained
At once the enemies of the Governor
saw they did not have sufficient votes
TO override any vetoes and began a
struggle to suspend action until it was
possible to get more votes. Fernan-
dez moved to postpone action, the chair
ruling him out of order. At once there
was a torrent. Aylett argued that the
motion was in order, Kaniho and
Paele sustaining the point
Fernandez appealed from the ruling |
of the chair and the presiding officer !
was convinced that he had made a |
mistake in his ruling, by vote of nine |
to seventeen.
Fernandez motion to postpone con-
sideratiOn until Thursday was then |
put and carried fourteen to seven, af- |
ter which the House adjourned.

Items here and there were challenged,
but the critics were induced to sub
side or be satisfied with verbal amend
ments. One instance was Senator
Achrs objection to $1,000 for a police
patrol wagon for Hilo. Another was
the item of $5O94SS for road from Ka-
waihae to Puuhue, which Senators
Paris and Woods said was an old road
and therefore belonging in the repairs
category of current expenditures. They
were told the road might be relocated.
The $4,000 for road from Nahiku to

okea-Kihei road were, at Senator Bald
wins request, referred to the Maui

IN THE SENATE.

Immediately after the opening
formalities yesterday morning, the
Senate took up for second reading
House bill No. 2, making special ap-
preparations for the use of the Gov
eminent of the Territory during the
two years to end June so, 1905, out of
the loan authorized by Act AZ of the
Session Laws of 1903.
HONOLULU wHARvES RAISED.
The first of the Territorial items was
for reorganization of wharf system,
$3.50, 900, and on motion of Senator Nc
Candless, seconded by Senator Isen-
berg, it was raised to $500, 900 and spe-
cialized for Honolulu. After the voting
of $4,000 for wharf and shed at McGre-
gor's landing, Maui, a raid was led by
Senator c. Brown on wharves and
items of $4,000 for Pukoo, Molokai, 800,
600 for Lahaina. O,0OO for Honokaa
and $4,000 for Kahului. McGregor's
landing was all right, being a substi-
kaa, there was no place for a wharf,
unless one could be built out upon the
air.
Senator McCandless backed the OPP
position, contending that the s15O,O0O
for wharves and landings, general, in
the current appropriations should suf-
flee for all outposts. Senator Achi
broke in with compromises to reduce
the items one-half.
Senator Baldwin made a vigorous de-
Tense of the Maui and Molokai items,
to the recorded desires of
the people in mass meeting. Possibly
the Government might buy the existing
wharf at Kahului from the Kahului
Railroad Co.
Mr.. Brown pointed out that in the
loan bill any amount not expended
would be tied up. unlike items in the
current revenue bill. He also said a
wharf at Kihei would be more sensible
than wharves where not needed.
In the end the Pukoo item was de-
ferred. the Lahaina item cut in half
and the Honokaa and Kahului items
were struck out.
Senator Baldwin hit back with mo-
ton to strike out the $4,000 for dredg-
ng Honolulu harbor and bar, saying

year to year and not a permanent i'm

OTHER MATTERS.

quest of Senator c. Brown, referred

STRIKE OUT SURVEYS.

Senator c. Brown moved to strike
out sixteen lines of metes and bounds

School street extension, Honolulu.
Senator Kalauokalani said the plan was
inserted in the House on the report of
surveyors. President Crabbe inform
ed the Senate that the Government
would never do the work if bound by
the plan in question. To this Senator
]. T. Brown answered that the Execu-
tive had no right to go against the will
Of the Legislature. Senator McCand-
less lectured Senator Kalauokalani for
making a break from the Oahu dele

out the metes and bounds.

NORWAY SATISFIED
New Ministry VIII Have Support Of

New Ministry VIII Have Support of
the Masses.
Norway shows the liveliest satsfac-
ton over the new ministry and its
chief strength will be the support Of
the large mass of the people. The ex-
IRENE radicals on one hand and the
ultra conservatives on the other could
not be expected to applaud a coali-
ton ministry.
The people, however, seem to have
concluded that it is better to live at
peace with ones neighbors and to set
tie political questions in a sane, tenn
pGratt manner.
Sweden thinks the new government
strong and believes it Will be backed
by practically the whole of Norway
on tho consular question. However,
the Swedish government trusts to the
ministry's moderation to guarantee a
solution consistent with the interests
Of the union. The ultra conservative
Swedish press fears Norway will now
have Il rreponderating influence in
the union.
RjOrnstjerne Bjornson expresses
much satisfaction with the new gov
.ernment, especially. as this is the first
time conservatives and liberals have
united in a friendly and sincere at
tempt tc solve great national ques-
tons. -s-.-.. .-r. !. #an,.

America are canards pure and simple.
The poor man has a. much better

In fact he has very little chance to rise
