Washington, April 19.-Indian Com
missioner Leupp today promulgated
the order defining what children of
Indian parentage are entitled to share

Not Enough Money to Pay Them

Washington, April 21.-On account
of the shortage of last years appropri-
alton, Commissioner Richards, of the
General land Office, has found it neces-
sary to dispense temporarily with the
services of II of the 80 special agents
of that bureau. They have been merely
furloughed, and will be restored to the
service when the new appropriation
bill becomes available on July i next
The suspensions have been made in
locations where there were more than
one agent. It is believed the service
will not be materially crippled.

Office, has prepared circular to be sent

FIGHTS THE LAND COURTS

The clerk did not read the item for
the expenses of the Court of Land
Registration, and Dickey wanted to
know what had become of it.
- He will come to that, if you wait, .
said Senator Dowsett. But, so far
as | am concerned, l would like to see
the item wiped out, and the court with
it. The way that court is run, it is
absolutely useless. A man with good
title will not go near it, and only a
man with a shaky title will go there
to get it confirmed. l know, and can
prove. that the government gave P.

THE SENATE.

The Senate got down to work IN
earnest yesterday, Senator Dowsett
from the Ways and Means Committee
presenting the reports on the two
bills, salaries and current expenses,
which had been referred to the COM
mittee to get the appropriations with
in the income of the Territory, if pos
sible. And, as result of the work
of the committee, the salary bill pass
ed third reading yesterday, and the
current expense bill second reading.
The salary bill now goes to the House,
all, and the current expense approprl-
alton bill will be read for the third
time in the Senate today.
The reports on the bills showed that
the Ways and Means Committee had
been putting in some pretty hard work
while the Senate had been waiting.
The salary bill, the report upon which
was presented first, shows that the al
lowanee in the bill was cut by the
committee from $1,46S,312 to 81, 1885,
$50, and this was cut from the Gov
ernor's estimate, which was $1,627,-
600. This was a cut of about 81 200,
and it was made even greater when
the bill came to be considered, the
amounts as finally appropriated foot
ing up 1896, $50.
The current expense bill was also
roundly cut by the committee, the to-
tai appropriations in the bill falling
from S., 4S7 ,595 to $1,3s7,117 This is
a saving on this bill of $100,47S, and
this was increased rather than dimin-
ished when the bill came up for second
reading, although nobody will know
exactly what was saved until Clerk
Savidge comes to make his footings.
GRAFTERs KNOCKED OUT.
Senator Dowsett read the reports
himself, putting in that on the expense
bill first. 1t was a sweeping docu-
ment, incidentally cutting out the item
inserted by the House at the instance
of the grafters to pay $4,000 for de-
Tending the County Act to attorneys
who mad agreed to DO the work WITH
out fee from motives of good citizen
ship-that is, one of them agreed to
do the worn Iree from motives of
good citizenship, and the other one said
that he did. An effort was made by
Senator John Lane of Oahu to have
this item put back in the bill when it
came to be considered on second read
ing. Senator Palmer Woods of Hawaii
seconding the motion to insert, but
this last attempt of the grafters re-
ceived only the votes of Lane and
Woods. The other Senators understand
that the Territory cannot afford lux
uries, and are good enough fnaneiers
in the public interest not TO insist up
on paying for what is offered them for
nothing.
After he had read the report on the
current expense bill, DOwsett read the
report on the salaries bill. 1t was a
very technical document, the changes
being made line by line and by number
IN the printed bill. and so it was prac-
tically impossible to follow. The rec
ommendation of the committee. how
ever, was that the bill be passed az
amended bv the report, the measure

THE HOUSE.

The House of Representatives spent
practically all of it's time yesterday
in Committee of the Whole on the loan
appropriation bill. now on it's second
reading from the Senate.
The morning session was spent over
the second section, that for General
preparations for All Islands, With
out any ceremony the different dele
cations went at the items and boosted
them one by one, on the definite under
standing, however, that cuts would be
made in the particular appropriations
later on. With this in view, the orig
inal 1851, 200 general appropriation was
increased by no less than $12S,00O,
Maui, with Coelho as spokesman, get
ting the most.
BROKE A PROMISE.
The promise to cut down was not
kept at the afternoon session. Hawaii
made numerous cuts, but Maui, still
with Coelho in the lead. increased her
demands instead of diminishing them,
with the absurd result that she ran
$4,000 over the amount allotted her.
Before the House adjourned this was
pointed out and Holstein moved that
the whole of the Maui items should be
reconsidered, failing this that the mat
ter should be turned over to the Maui
delegation for adjustment.
No decision was reached and the
matter was left over until this morn
ing.

PASSES SECOND READING.

Hayselden moved an amendment in
creasing the appropriation for the en-
couragement of lace making from
$500 to $4,000. McCandless amend
ed to make fifteen per cent
of receipts from general sales of lace
government realization, as well as 50
per cent of receipts from sales of lace
made at the reform schools.
Dowsett protested against the In
crease, saying the Territory could not
afford it, and Hayselden defended his
amendment with an array of figures
from the lace makers. The Hayselden
amendment, amended by McCandless,
passed.
In the hospital subsidy item, the
$4,000 appropriated for the Waimea
Hospital was divided so that Wal
mea should have $4,000 and Eleele
$1,000.
Dickey moved that Section 4 of the
bill be stricken out, the section pro-
viding that in case the appropriations
shall exceed the revenues the expendi-
lures for all purposes shall be proper
t1onal to the revenues. Motion car
ried.
Dickey moved the insertion of an
item of $4,000 for the purchase of a
pump for Kapiolani Park Motion
lost.
Paris moved reconsideration of the
item appropriating $4,000 for the Hilo
Hospital, and when that carried moved
that the institution be given $4,000.
This motion was lost.
Lane moved the insertion of the item
appropriating $4,000 to pay attorneys
for defending the County Act, which
had been stricken out by the commit
tee. 1t was lost. only Woods and Lane

tanning the list of election inspectors,

was laid on the table to be considered
with the bill. The bill itself, as the
order of the day, came up at once, up
on the conclusion of the reading of the
report, for third reading. There was
no dispute upon the report until it
came to the cut in the commissions to
be paid to Tax Collectors. This sum
is fixed in the bill at $4,000, and the
report of the committee cut it to $11,-
400. The recommendation was adopt
ed, after some debate.
THE BILL PASSES.
On motion of Achi, the item of 1925
month for a superintendent of sew
ers was not adopted, there being a man
already provided for in the Board of
Health Department to look out for
this work. d =
The salary of the High Sheriff was
cut to $212.50 per month, and this was
pretty close to the conclusion of the
reading of the BILL incidentally, it
may be stated, that the bill deals rath-
er more literally with the schools than
it was supposed that it would do. The
salaries of some teachers are lowered
and those of some others raised, but
on the whole there are $4,000 more
given to pay school teachers than in
the old bill.
After the reading of the bill had
been concluded, Paris moved recon
sideration of the vote striking out the
item of $4,000 for inspectors of sewers
under the Board of Public Works. Re-
consideration carried and the item was
put back in the bill.
On motion of Woods the item for
the division of entomology in the Blu
reau of Forestry was cut from 100000
to $4,000.
Bishop moved that an item of $4,000
be inserted for road supervisor of
Oahu, and the motion to insert carried.
This was intended to pay man to
take care of the engines and rollers
and stock in the possession of the Su-
perintendent of Public Works.
''But who will feed the mulesf"
asked President Isenberg.
The bill, carrying total appropria-
tions as amended of $1,396,0S0, then
passed third reading, McCandless, who
had come in late, voting "No,' and
explaining that he did not know what
he was voting on.
Achi introduced a bill appropriating
money to pay witness fees delinquent
in the various court circuits The bill
appropriates $4,000, and passed first
reading. 1t viii be read for the sec
ond time today.
The current expense bill, House Bill
No. 4, was next N order on second
reading, the report of the Ways and
Means Committee being taken up with
it. The reading went on for a time,
quietly enough.

wampum, among which is found much
unpierced and only half-flnished, made
OF stone, glass, bone, shells, horn, nay

we have resolved that henceforth no
