The debate so far on the Two County
Bill, the measure presented to the
House by Kawewehi, has been decided
~ amusing, principally from the fact
that those who want to see a pauper off
shoot of the county system are rising,
against some of the ones VINO made them,
the very arguments raised IN favor the
County Act when it was in the House.
Kaniho speaks very often and usually
very long on this bill every time il

MAKURA IN
FOR FEW HOURS
CANADIAN AUSTRALIAN VESSEL
BRINGS BIG LIST OF CONTENT
ED PASSENGERS.

The contrasts between two ships
could hardly be greater than that be-
tween the Makura which arrived from
Vancouver this morning and the 40
rangi of the same line which sailed
for that port last night. On board the
Makura, fine new boat able to keep
up the speed requirements without
any difficulty, the passengers were all
contented and speak of the vessel and
her officers in highest of terms. while
on the Aorangi the very reverse was
the case.
The Makura brought a small number
passengers for this city, and small
shipment of freight, the largest item in
which was 100 cases of whiskey. She
left for the Colonies at 2:3O this
afternoon Her officers report fine
weather on the way down and moth
ing to disturb the pleasure of the trip.
Since leaving this city the Makura
has been taking on little extra work,
consisting of a special excursion from
Vancouver to Seattle. She carried
down three hundred passengers and all
used the vessel as their hotel while at
the exposition city. Purser w. G.
Barnett, states that the Hawaiian ex-
| hibit looked very well indeed and
| that it was one of the most attractive
iyof those to be SEEN He says that
considerable difficulty has been caus-
ed visitors by the closing of the ex-
hibits at o'clock every evening. Many
of those who wish to spend a good
deal of time on the grounds are I'M
able to do so during the day and after
the hour named, while the grounds are
open and the gardens a blaze of electric
light, all the exhibits have been CLOSED
