RAILWAY EXEMPTION BILL.

Kalama broke into the regular order
where a lot of House bills were down
for third reading, to move suspension
of the rules for taking up the second
reading of Senate Bill 1873. 1t was so
voted. The bill exempts property of
railroads that may hereafter be con
structed in Hilo. Hamakua and Ko-
hala districts from taxation.
Amendments came thick and fast,
the movers after the first not waiting
for decision on those coming ahead.
Dickey moved a requirement of hav-
ing one hundred miles of railway con-
structed.
Bishop, to except street railroads
using the public highways.
Achi, to strike out the districts
named and insert any part of the
Territory of Hawaii To Bishops
roads making money today the mover
said, "No, no; the bill is for railroads
to be constructed.
Dickey explained that the bill was
to enable panies-there We're two
now holding franchises to build rail
roads on the Island of Hawaii to
float their ponds.
Bishop, as introducer of the bill, fol-
lowed remarks by McCandless and
Woods. with the statement that there
was no special design, intended in favor
of any individual or corporation. He
had introduced the bill owing to his
belief in the desirabilitv of having
railroads through the districts therein
named
Dowsett favored the object of the
bill, but thought it too sweeping.
Dickey changed his amendment from
one hundred miles to fifty miles. Achi
moved to make it ten and McCandless,
when the vice president had risen to
take the vote, moved twenty miles.
Fifty miles was adopted on a close
vote, and the vote on Bishops amend
ment was interrupted by motion for
recess.
Recess from u to 2. m.

CONTROL OF ROADS.

Kalama again brought up bill out
of its order, being Senate Bill 145, for
second reading. It would transfer the
possession, use and control of public
works, roads, bridges, etc, from the
Territory to the counties, and go into
effect upon the approval of the United
States Congress.
Dickey moved the bill pass, saying
the answer of the Attorney General
as to its legality could be considered on
third reading.
Achi argued that the bill was CON
trary to the provisions of the annexa-
ton resolution and the Organic Act
81 doubt the bill myself" Dickey
observed.
The motion to pass the bill was lost,
and on motion of Achi the bill was in
definitely postponed.

that it was an administration bill.
Lane thought it was too late in the
session to consider the bill, the same
as had been decided regarding the pub
lie franchises measure.

JURY BILL VETO SUSTAINED.

A message from the Governor re-
ceived the previous day, declining to
approve House Bill 1O3, increasing the
pay of jurors, was taken up.
Paris thought the veto should be
sustained, much as he would like to
see the pay of jurors raised.
Achi argued that the bill would not
make a serious increase in expendi-
lures. The license bill alone would
impose on the people 100000 more
taxes.
The motion to pass the bill notwith-
standing the veto, was lost on the fol-
lowing vote, lacking two-thirds:

THE RAILWAY BILL.

Bishops amendment was passed in q
form to except railroads using the pub
lie roadbeds and crossings of the same
Dickey moved reconsideration of the
50-mile provision. He thought if 90
miles were put into operation it would
be a great benefit to portion of the
country.
Woods did not think the reduction
would do justice to the other districts.
A company might run out to Kukui-
haele, taking in a lot of rich planta-
tions, and then rest content.
The motion was lost.
Dickey moved to reduce the term of
exemption from 20 years to 10 years.
Carried.
Achi IS amendment to make the bill
apply to the whole Territory was about
to be put, when Woods moved to make
it apply to Hilo, Hamakua, North 10
hala and North and South Kona.
McCandless moved to add the Island
of Oahu, saying he was informed rail
roads were contemplated on Maui and
Kauai, and he was certain railroad
was contemplated on Oahu. (Laughter.)
Dowsett asked if they were going to
make a broad bill exempting from tax
alton every railroad to be built for 20
years, where was the Territory to get
off? The proposition was outrageous,
absurd. There was bill on the table
regarding public franchises which
would conflict with this bill. The coun-
try could not afford to make a. gift
of that sort to railroads.
:" Mr.. Dowsett s argument sounds all
right, - Bishop remarked, but if you
do not give some encouragement you
will not have any railroad and the
Territory will therefore get nothing.
think the bill is pretty nearly killed
now with it's limitations
Woods's amendment was lost. Dow
sett moved to defer the bill. Bishop
asked what was the use of dawdling
over the bill. "Kill the bill if you
want to- he challenged.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. DAY.

Bishop, from the special committee
on loan appropriations, presented a re-
port of four petitions and seven Sen
ate resolutions, saying
''The committee have duly consid-
cred the foregoing, all of which bear
on the question of distribution or APP
portionment of loan fund, and so far
as practicable have inserted items in
its report, now in course of compIla-
tion, but not yet ready for transmissal
to the Senate.
''The comp;ttee | eg leave to return
Senate Bill "a herewith believing that
it Will be impossible t. make a final
report and recommendations before the
close of the present session
The report was received and the bill
placed on the order of the day.
AALA PARK REPORT.
McCandless, from the Public Lands
Committee, reported on Senate resolu-
tion 3, as follows;
'The resolution relates t. the ac-
curing by the government &C add
tional land adjoining Aala Park for
charging the same. Your committee
find that it would cost about 100000
to acquire the land desired, and while
we feel the enlargement of this park
would materially dement, UnaC section
of Honolulu, your committee believe it
unwise to recommend the expenditure
of any such sum for such purpose at
this time, and would recommend that
the resolution be laid on the table,"
Achi set up a roar about the holding
back of the matter by the committee
and moved to return the report to the /
chairman. Under the rule the com
mittee should have reported within five
days.
Dickev said the five days referred
only to special committees.
McCandless warmly resented the re-
Elections on the committee, relating a :
statement of the work done by it.
Vice President Paris, the President
having retired, ruled that the five days
referred to special committees. The
report was adopted.
McCandless, from the Public Lands
Committee, returned a bunch of petl !
tions and resolutions together with a
bill, saying there was no time for their
consideration this session. The report .
was received, to be considered with ,
the bill.
Dowsett, from the Ways and Means
Committee, returned a bunch of bills ;,
and resolutions to be considered in
open session if the opportunity came.
Received.

THE SENATE.

President Isenberg, after opening
routine, made a statement regarding
the Governor message announcing
the appointment of Drs. Herbert, Sin
clair and Judd as members of the
Board of Examiners. After the Senate
adjourned on Tuesday the clerk had
shown him that the message was i'm
properly addressed to the "Legisla-
ture.' 1t should have been to the
Senate. He asked Senator Achi to
move a reconsideration of the vote con-
frming the nominations, as an amend
ed message had been received.
Reconsideration carried and the NOM
nations were again confirmed. Also
it was voted to return the inaccurate
message to the Governors office.
LIQUOR BILL VETO.
The Governor IS veto of the liquor
bill came up in order.
Hewitt moved to defer action until
the House acted.
Paris did not see why the Senate
should not stand on it's own feet, and
the House likewise, when either re-
ceived a veto message.
Woods agreed with the idea of stand
ing on their own feet, but this was
matter of courtesy to the House, whose
bill was in question.
Lane said the House was already
working on new liquor bill and would
most likely sustain the veto.
On show of hands the motion was
lost, but on rising vote the message
was deferred bv 8 to ),
