bv tourists and visitors, but also by
the residents of these Islands, on ae-
count Of the inadequacy of passenger
accommodations, to such an extent that
frequently residents of Hawaii are de-

the Coast when they are anxious to
return home; and
"Whereas, The people of Hawaii
have on numerous occasions expressed
the desire that the coastwise shipping
laws as applied to Hawaii, which pre-
vent travel to and from the Islands
in other than American vessels, be sus-
pended until such time as there shall
be adequate passenger accommodations
on American vessels; and
s'Whereas, There appears to be at
present no prospect of an immediate or
speedy alienation of the onerous con-
ditions which are acting to the detri-
ment of the best interests of the peo-

Dilatory Tactics.
Alfonso promptly tried to block II

although he knew that the house had
already adopted a resolution, intro
duced by Sheldon, that the house
should adjourn sine die at two-thirty.
Coney objected to any such dilatory
tactics. The matter, he said, had beer
discussed thoroughly by the people Of
the Territory, and the representative
ought to understand it by this time.
Castro was lost in tn quagmire of in
decision. He said he didn't know how
he stood on the matter, and he want
ed it deferred until he should have hai
a chance to inform himself thoroughly
He thought a half hour would do, an.
asked that consideration of the resolu
