HOUSE.
Afternoon Session-Twenty. Ninth Day
The House wasted the whole day
yesterday, doing nothing with much
noise and vulubility. The little that II
seemed to accomplish might better
have been left undOnc. Most of the at
tcrnOCn was sQuandCrCd In a loud and
iruitless discussion Of the ApprOpria.
ton Bill which is nothing more than
an expensive Joke, anyway. as there is
no intention on the part of the House
leaders to pass It. The Oahu members
made most of the noise during the af.
ternOun. which led Rice To remark just
before the Committee of the Whole
rose to report Progress" that the
members from the Fourth and Fifth
don't seem to know who ought to have
the water works. but Oahu certainly
has the Gas Works"
