which says that laborers engaged on

one dollar and half a day. 1t was
moved to send to the Ways and Means

STANDARD OIL BILL.
Bill No. go relating to the storage
of oils by private parties came up
for second reading and went to the
Ways and Means committee. The pas
sage of the bill will mean the depriv-
ing of the government of considerable
revenue which some of the Senators
believe will be counterbalanced by the
taxes to be paid on the property which
the Standard Oil people will improve
here. Some of the arguments used by
the Senator introducing the bill are
identical with those of the agent of
the Trust on the ground.
At 1850 a. M, the Senate took re-
cess until D. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Senator Hayselden reported from the
committee to whom was referred Senate
Bill No. 10, relating to pounds. So
many amendments were made to the
original bill that it was deemed best
to send it back to the committee. When
it is returned to the Senate it will
look like a new bill The one intro
duced was of greater Importance to the
fruit and cane men than was thought
at first glance for when the sections
were being read, Senator Smith ex-
pressed regret that he had not been
advised that 1t was to be brought up.
1t was a matter in which somebody
was going to be injured unless great
caution was shown in acting upon the
matter. 1t was not long ago, he said,
a pineapple grower at Wahiawa had
spoken to him of the damage done by
animals running loose. If this bill
should be passed in the present form
those men who have put their none,
in that industry could be damaged ir-
reparably by the loss to their crops by
running cattle and the redress provided
by the bill would not be worth con-
The same would apply to
the cane men.
Senator Coelho, the introducer, said
the bill was introduced to protect the |
small farmer and the small planter |
as well as large ones.
MEAT AND NEAT.
During the discussion, which took |
more time and was of more interest |
than any so far INDUCED in this ses-
sion, meat" cattle were referred to.
One of the Senators called attention
to the typographical error and remark
ed that 1t probably referred to meat"
cattle. A motion was made to amend
1T that point and the President put 1t
much to the amusement of the other
familiar with the term.
When attention was called to it, and
Senator Smith assured the chair that
neat cattle was correct, there was a
'mile and the motion to amend was
Withdrawn. The motion to recommit
o the Committee on Public Lands
arried.
On motion of Senator Lane the rules
we're suspended to allow him to give
lotice of his intention to introduce a
ill to incorporate the city of Homo
ulu.
