sentative Harris at yesterday after
noon's session of the House for the
placing in the list of appropriations
The sum of $4,000 as a subsidy for a
freight and passenger steamer to ply
between island ports and the mainland,
was the most important matter brought
up during the days sitting.
After a brief discussion the resolution |

luton for the appropriation of $4,000

Messenger. $500.

Rep. Kaleiopu supported his resolu-
ton with a curious speech, in which he
based his main argument for the large
salaries on the ground that the Repre-
sentatives' chamber Is three times as
large as the Senate's chamber.

such bill and Rep. Coelho was also
in opposition. Rep. Holstein took
share in the debate along similar lines
and moved the resolution along to the

committees concerned.
