OBSERVATIONS.
Tho Oiiklaiul, Cul., Board of
Houltb is urging tho City Coun
cil to oroct tin inoinorator for con
suming gnrbngo. It will bo rc
momborod tho Bulletin lately
suggested a similnr addition to tho
sanitary oqiiiumont of llonolulu.
Owing to tho Into hour at
which tho Chamber of Comruerco
closed, and tho desirability of
giving n full roport thereof,
editorinl couitnont is shut out.
It would be indoed uaoless any
way, so far as tho Sennto is con
cerned, for that body this after
noon ratified tho contract, only
Mr. Hocking voting no.
THE LEGISLATURE.
Fifty-First Day, August 12th.
THE SENATE.
Boll call in thoSonfito this morn
ing at 10 o'clock doveloped tho
fact that eight Sonators only, in
cluding tho president, were pro
sont. A voting quorum not boing pro
son t tho Sonato took a recess un
til 1:30 pm.
THE REPBESENTATIVES.
It was fifteen minutes past ton
bi-foro o quorum of roprosentatives
could bo got together, at which
timo nino answered to their
names.
Minutes of yoBtorday's meeting
wore read and upprovod.
Tho bills appropriating $32,000
for tho purchnpo of tho Bishop
promises catno up on thoir final
readings and passed by volos of 7
to 1, Representative Uycroft vot
ing no.
Tho alcohol bill as amended by
tbo Sonato was taken up and
read, aftor which Bepresontative
Uycroft called attention to tho
fact that tho report of tho Con
ference Committeo yostordny was
accepted and that settled, tho
whole matter. Tho minutes bo
ing again road it waB found thoy
were incorroct in not stating that
tho report of tho coramittoo was
adopted, whereupon tho roport
was on motion adopted over again
as tho quickest way out of tho
muddle.
Bep. Ilanuna introduced a re
solution that the clerk be allowed
not more than thirty-fivo days in
which to write up tho minutes of
tho session in a proper book.
Bep. Bycroft wished tho matter
laid over until mora members
were in nttondunco.
Bop. Bond thought it was un
necessary to give such a long poriod
at so great au expense Ho
thought twolvo days would ho
sufficient.
Bep. Itycroft snid tho wholo
thing was wrong. The House has
nut uveraged throe hours a day
during its entire ssion, and in
that timo the olork had not been
working half tho timo. Bethought
ten days was an abundance of
timo and ho moved the matter bo
laid over to tomorrow. Hop. B.ud
snenndod tho motion.
Tho motion was lost by the
casting voto of tho speaker, Rep
resentatives Itycroft, Bond, "Wins
ton and Oluney voting ayo and
Boprosontatives H.ia, Ilanuna,
Davis and Halualuni voting no.
A motion to adjourn was voted
down by 4 to 2, Mr. Winston be
ing torn poranly ab3nt.
Itop. Bycroft said this waB a
matter of sponding public monoy
and the members ought to bo just
as careful with it as if it was their
own.
Tho resolution thon carried, Rep
resentative Bycroft voting for it,
for tho purpose of moving for a
reconsideration as ho announced.
The House thon toik a recess
to 1:30.
GABLE AT ANY COST.

cable to Hawaii. J. W. Maokay
said tho idoa was propostorous.
Kvidoiitly 8100,000 a yoar was
about tho amount of running ex
penses and mnintenanco, includ
ing tho renewal of the oablo within
twenty years. Did Honolulu want
the cable? Was it worth 10,000 n
year to havo a cable ? If ho let
Col. Spalding havo this franchisu
and 18 months to turu round in.
Mr. Thurston roforrod to provlous
efforts to get a cablo, and then
tnado ft comparison botweou the
present proposal and Mr. Fle
ming's. There wns no intorislaud
cablo in tho lattor and tho main
lino was to land at Neoker Island,
while tho North American
terminus would bo at Van
couver. On tho latter ao
count thero would bo an addition
al ohargo for transferring cable
grams from ouo lino to anolhor
ovor the international border
Mr. Floming's sokomo deponded
on a subsidy divided equally
between Great Britain, Canada
and Australia. Thore had not
been a sign of support from tho
British Government. In Austra
lia there wero seven independent
governments to bo dealt with , each
being liablo to a change of ad
ministration any day. South
Australia had a large claim
on tho Eastern Extension Cablo
Company, on account of tho
land lines, and tho represontativos
of that colony at tho Ottawa Con
ference insisted on tho buying out
of that claim bofore it would g
Into the now schomo. Tho Kast
orn Extension cablo had boo
paying 9 porcont on $4,000,000 or
$5,000,000 investor! capital, and
had U 000,000 roscrvo to fight all
opposition. Mr. Flouring was
ready to buy out claims on tho
Eastern Extension. Canada had
shown sho had strong men by th
obstacles they had overcomo,
greater ovon than tho cable pro
sontcd, in building tho Pacific
railway. Mr. luommgs scheme
had not, bowovcr, taken shape,
and dopended on tho co opera
tion of tho Imperial Govornmout.
Tho spoaker denied that monopo
lies were always injurious in citios
of tho United States. It was not
so in respect to stroot railways.
If othor Hues connected here, our
peoplo would have tho benefit of
pro rta charges corresponding to
distanco. Tho Eastern Extension
Co. took in $5000 a day. Bates
to San Francisco in this contract
wero so low that no other company
would como in and offer lower.
Mr. Thurston cited tho caso of
the ico companies formed in Hono
lulu to provo that tho public is
not always protootod by freedom
of competition. One company
buys up another and destroys tho
competition.
Mr. Sponcor in a short spocch
saidif thoGovernmont could afford
$40,000 a yoar, lot Col. Spalding
havo tho exolusivo franchise If
ho did not accomplish his aim in
18 months, ho would throw
it up. Somo pooplo scorn
ed afraid Col. Spalding would
tnnko a groat deal of money.
Mr. Swanzy said ho did not
caro how muoh money Col. Spal
ding made.
Mr. Thurston considered that
tho mounted police could be abol
ished shortly, and tho standing
military reduced ono-half, which
would save the ountry $60,000
a year. They could afford to pay
two-thirds of that for a cable. For
yeaia they had paid $37,500 n year
to the Oceunic Steamship Co.,and,
oxcollont us its survico had bcon,
it was not worth so muoh to tho
country as a cable would bo.
Mr. Sohaefor, being requested
to givo his viows from the chair,
favored deferring tho question to
the regular session, which would
meet in six months. Ho would
liko timo for public discussion
hero, and for hearing what oould
be done abroad. "When ho was
in Sau Francisco ho found a very
lively intorest in tho cubic. Do
lay would bo very wiso. As had
boon stated, thoy had only heard
of this about breakfast timo this
morning.
Mr. Thuistm explained thnt
Col, Spnidn g would have b't n
hero two mon lis oirlior but for
sioknets in his family. His
roason for bust) now was to rouch
Washington oarly in the sossion.
If ho waited for our Legislature
ho could only connect with "Wash
ington in tho closing days of
Cougress, whon nothing could bo
dono. In answer to Mr. Swanzy,
ho snid Hugh Craig's company in
San Frincisco had nothing to do
with Col. Spalding's so omo.
That company was only forinod
to get incorporation so as to b-
ablo to trout with othor govern
ments. Whon tho U. S. Soiuitn
rejected the bill it wns suggestod
to got u elm'ttr from West
Virginia, but none of tho com
pany would put up tho money.
Mr. Jones said his motion was
virtually an ondorsomont of tho
Cabiuot in this matter. Thoy
evidently had had tho matter
under careful consideration. The
Cabinot rocouimouded hasto and
ho beliovod in supporting tho
Cabinot. Tho action taken this
morning sustains or condomns
them for the action thoy havo
takon.
Mr. Lansing supported the
motion, bolieving tho contract was
tho only way to get a cablo.
Mr. flyman was in favor ofi ho
motion. Another yoar would be
lost if this contract was not mado
now. Ho wanted tho cablo.
Mr. Bolto agrood that tho sub
sidy would not bo all shoor ox
ponso, as Govornmont mossages
would be carriod for a large part
of it. This country hud to givo
an exolusivo franohiso for tho
tramways, tho railway and tho
oloctric light.
Mr. "Widomanu did not believo
in putting this oxclusivo franchise
in tho hands of ono man to go all
round tho world to soil it.
Mr. Hyman Does Mr. Wido
mann boliovo that ho should go
all round the world to get us a
cable for nothing ?
Mr. "Waity's oxporienco taught
m to fight shy of exclusive fran
chises, but ho said thero was a
matorial difference in this case.
A condition might he put
in tho contract, to meet
the objection as to shutting out
other companies from China and
Australia. Ho suggestod tti.it
tho governments of United St t n
and Hawaii and this company
stiould bo a board of arbitra
tion on torms for admitting such
othor companies.
Mr. "Watorhouso argued thnt
the 54.0,000 a yoar would be wall
repaid by tho monoy arid tho ppo
plo it would bring horo. He had
confidence in Col. Spalding.
Mr. Swanzy complained that
Mr. Jonos had very adroitly in
timated that the rejection of his
motion would imply want of
confidence in the Cabinet. The
spoakor distinctly repudiated that
idea. Ho moved nn amendment
that tho Chamber is of opinion
that n too hasty contract would
bo a mistako, and that it recom
mends -postponement of ratifica
tion till tho regular bossion.
Mr. Giffurd seconded tho
amendment.
Tho amendment boing put was
lost, only tho mover, seconder and
Mr. Lowrey voting for it.
Mr. Widemann protestod ngainst
tho introduction of politics into
tho Ohumbor, and loft tho room to
mark his protest.
Tho motion carriod on tho same
voto as boforo reversed. The
meeting adjourned at 8 minutos
toll.
Twelve Sonators wero on hund
at this afternoon's session.
Sonator Bice is tho latest of tho
legislative solons to be afllictod
with homo sickness. Ho has been
released for tho balauoo of the
session.

Most people make their wills
before they die, and some of
them are great curiosities in
their way. Among the many
curious legacies made lately is
that of a Christiana man who
directs that his whole fortune
shall be expended in bicycles.
A Norwegian newspaper which
does not give itself up to the
comic element relates that a
Dutch lawyer; named Nikolson,
bequeathed the whole of his
property to trustees, to be em
ployed in the purchase of bicy
cles for the use of children at
tending school, while part of
the money is to go towards
paying the teacher to train the
boys m bicycle riding.
The validity of the will has
been disputed by the sons of
the testator, who refuse to ac
knowledge it, so that it is still a
question of doubt whether the
children will reap the benefit
of the strange bequest. That
the testator was sincere enough,
and that he recognized in the
wheel untold blessings which
might have escaped the ob
servation of minds of less
acumen, the concluding portion
of the will should go to prove.
It says :-
I have always found a bi
cycle capital protection against
the importunity of those
people who persist in stopping
you in your walk to spin a long
yarn in the hot sun or in the
biting east wind. My machine,
unlike a horse, nevershied once;
and in my drives 1 have had no
need to intrust life and limb
to the tender mercies of a
coachman."
Now that lawyer had good
hard, solid sense and plenty of
it, in fact, a good deal more of
it than most lawyers are credit
ed with, and yet not more than
many boys and girls in Hono
lulu have, for are there not
many of the latter who are
spending their whole fortunes
in purchasing a bicycle and they
are wise in spending their
money on something that will
give them their money's worth
every time.
The bicycle of the Khedive
of Egypt is a gorgeous ma
chine, almost entirely covered
with silver plating but if anyone
wants a duplicate of it we can
furnish it, or if something
"English you know" is wanted
we can supply similiar ma
chines to those used by the
Prince of Wales' boys and girls,
all of whom are expert riders.
But for common every day
People like those who reside in
aradise, we mean the Hawaii
an Paradise, the Monarch is
the machine to buy. It gives
you better value for the money
than any other make, and we
can furnish it in any style and
price. We have received by
the Australia the largest con
signment of wheels ever brought
to the islands, and also a
complete line of extra fittings.
If any portion of a Monarch
wheel gets broken or out of
order we can replace it at a
moment's notice at factory
prices.
Mr. T. V. King, who arrived
by the same steamer, will have
charge of the mechanical depart
ment of our bicycle business.
His large experience in that line
enables us to guarantee satisfac
tion in all work entrusted to
him.
