NEW CABINET OFFICE
is FORMALLY OPENED.
Department of Commerce and Labor
lnaugurated With Speeches and
Prayer.

Washington, July The transfer
OF the various bureaus which are to
be assembled under the act creating
the department OF commerce and la
Dor to the new department took
place to-day. The transfer was &C.
companied by a pleasant ceremony
in the Office OF Secretary Cortelyou.
A number of distinguished people
were present, including Secretary
Moody, Acting Secretary LOOMS OF
the department, Acting Attorney
General Day Of the department OF
Justice, Acting Secretary Brigham of
the department OF agriculture, Direc-
tor North of the census bureau, Rep
resentative d. j. Stafford
Rev. DR.. Franklin Noble, an old
friend and former pastor OF Secretary
Cortelyou, began the exercises by
reading few passages from Scrip
ture and delivering an invocation.
Secretary Cortelyou, in his address,
called attention to the fact that on
February 16 the entire personnel of
his department consisted OF single
official-himseH. To day, by trans
iers made, the departments person
mel consisted OF 1880 persons in
Washington and 1886 in the coun-
try at large, with total appropria-
tions for the coming fiscal year OF
$9,796,S47. He recalled the fact
that 1888 Commodore Paul Jones,
writing to the marquis of Lafayette
concerning the federal constitution,
strongly advocated the creation OF a
ministry Of commerce, on theground
that commerce must be the great
reliance in the country in the future.
Director North Of the census bu-
reau, on behalf Of the bureau chiefs,
responded, pledging the hearty sup
port Of his associates and expressing
the opinion that Secretary Cortelyou
had before him perhaps the greatest
opportunity that ever fell to the lot
Of q cabinet officer In time Of peace.
Secretary Moody said few words on
behalf Of the cabinet.
A telegram was read from the
President, as follows: Hearty con.
Qratulations to you and the new de-
partment which starts in to-day"
DR.. Stafford closed the exercises
with q prayer and benediction.

CONFERERS AGREE
ON SALARIES

The conference committee on the Six
Months Salary bill began work last
evening and although some progress
was made it was apparent that it will
be only by the hardest work that the
measure can be agreed upon and put
through. The greatest help to the set
tlement of differences, was when the
itemized payrolls of the police were
passed, just as they had been prepared
by the House, though some senator's

CAMPBELL'S NAME CAUSED
MORE PICKERING
IN HOUSE

IN THE HOUSE

The Houe began its session witt
the receiving of messages from the
Senate, two announcing the appoint
ment of conference committees and the
third telling of the adoption of the
conference committees report on the
Loan bill.
Kumalae presented the following
| joint resolutions:
| BE it resolved by the Legislature OF
the Territory of Hawaii that the labor
ers working under the Road Depart
ment be paid hereafter at the rate OF
One Dollars and Fifty Cents per day
AS soon as Kupihea had seconded
the resolution PaeIe moved the pre-
vious question but Greenwich indicated
his intention to speak and the previous
question was lost. He argued that the
cost of living would not make such
high wages necessary in country dis
tricts. He moved to table, which was
lost.
WANTED THE RATE FIXED.
Kumalae argued that the cost of food
and clothing was greater even in the
country than in the city. He argued
that the statute giving the road boards
the right to fix wages would not be
affected by the resolution and declared
that no man should work for less than
$3.50 a day.
Keliinoi raised the point of order that
the resolution was out of place during
this session which the chair sustained,
saying that the Senate could not pass
it in the shape as introduced, but that
if it declared the intention of the Leg
islature in the appropriation bills to
provide a. certain rate of wage, the
Legislature could pass it.
Paele moved to override the ruling of
the chair but the House sustained the
speaker and the resolution was sent
back to it's parent.
CONEY CLAIM BILL PASSES.

gested that there be a bill, appropriate
ing a sum sufficient to meet the de-
mand. yet leaving the decision as to
the amount to be adjudged as due.
Under questioning from Andrade,
Kumalae, Harris and others, Mr. Coop
er said the tenancy of the forest re-
serve was at will and was abandoned
by the government, while Capt. King
was Secretary of the Interior. He said
that the road had been used for ten
years and was very necessary to the
people who had purchased the mauka
lands and should not be closed
He said that there were betterments,
but he could not say whether or not
these were waived. The Coney estate
lands had been all made accessible. He
said that the government never had
received more than $500 an acre for
lands there. The bill was at once put
on it's third reading and was passed

The Eighteen Months Salary bill was
read through and recess was taken.
Upon reconvening, the question came
upon the passage of the measure, but
Fernandez discovered the item Super
vising Engineer, S45OO", under the De-
partment of Public Works. He said he
had heard this was meant to provide
for Marston Campbell, and he there
fore moved to strike out the item.
Harris called attention to the facts
that there should be an engineer, a
competent person who might assist the
superintendent of Public Works in the
construction of public works. Oil at
tackled Campbell and Harris insisted
that he was discussing places and not
men; that the Superintendent should
have skilled assistants to consider bust
ness matters.
FERNANDEZ TO THE FRONT.
Fernandez took UP the attack upon
Campbell, quoting the committee re-
port bearing upon the Bishop street.

be retired. Harris made the point that
Marston Campbell was not under con-
sideration, but Fernandez was permit

Aylett said the Importance of the

no question as to the making of pro-
vision for the proper expert assistance

he was convinced that the item was
there simply for the purpose of pro-
viding a place for Campbell. He said
/ that those who knew said there was
no necessity for an official such as is
asked for here. KumaIae declared that
/ the sole reason for passing the resolu-

was TO prevent Campbell from securing
