REVENUE CUTTER.
Senator Perkins, of California, is do
ing all in his power to bring about leg
islation for a revenue cutter for use in
Hawaiian waters. The Committee on
Commerce, of which he is member,
at recent meeting. took up the bill,
which was passed by the Senate earlier
in the session, and agreed to report it
favorably as a proposed amendment to
the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill.
The same programme was followed i'll
the last Congress but the amendment,
after having been adopted by the Sen
ate, was thrown out in conference.
Speaker Cannon is very hostile to legis.
lation in that manner and is determined
to head off many similar items, which
the Senate proposes to put on the Sun
dry Civil Bill The text of the pro-
posed amendment to the Sundry Civil
Bill is as follows:
THAT the sum of two hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars is hereby
appropriated for the construction, under
the direction of the Secretary of the
Treasury. of steam vessel of the first
class for the Revenue Gutter Service, to
be stationed with headquarters at Homo
lulu, Hawaii
WITHINGTUN'S MOVEMENTS.
MIR. d. L. Wilmington, of Honolulu,
who has been here in behalf of the gas
franchise bill, left four days ago for
San Diego and other California points.
jIbeiIintended 10 sail from San Fran
cisco on the Korea. Mr.. Wilmington
was. not altogether hopeful of legislation
on his bill at this session, when he left
here, but since his departure the bill has
passed the Senate without debate and
yesterday special rule was voted by
the House Committee on Rules to per-
nit of the consideration of both the gas
and electric franchise bills at that end
of the Capitol. The interests of the
gas bill were left by Mr.. Wilmington in
rood b,,Ie ,,;ll proIohIv harpp,a
law before the end of the session, which
is now not far away.
Mr. Wilmington was assisted here by
several of his old California friends of
the days when he was member of the
California Senate He made an excel
lent impression in Washington and with
other Representative Hawaiians here
during the winter has helped to correct
some OF the erroneous ideas with refer
eiIce to Hawaii which prevail in the
minds OF Congressman.
w. o. SMITH RETURNING,
Hon. w. o. Smith also leaves for the |
Pacific Coast today but does not intend |
to sail from San Francisco on the Ven
tura. He will wait two days for the i
Korea Mr. Smiths stay here this win
ter, although prolonged far beyond what |
he wished. has been of incaculabc
benefit to the Islands, as ! have stated
in previous letters. He stood out here
as one OF the leading men OF the Terri
tory identified with It's substantial in
tcrests, and has abored quite as assidu
ously for the general welfare OF the Mid
Pacific as he has ior the passage OF the
electric franchise bin Therefore while
lhc delay in onaclnR the electric fran
uhisr has been naturally very annoying
lo him az times this delay has IN many
vay, redounded 10 the benefit Of La
