"Undor tho item of incidentals, civil and criminnl expenses thoro nro many calls for expenditures which are positively necessary, that wo do notseo anyway outof the item nnd would therefore recom mend that it pass at 830,000. Aro Imvo considered tho item of 818,000 for detective sorvico with tho Attorney-General and would recommend a reduction of S2000, making tho item 810,000. "Wo find that tho 88000 for tho support of tho Citizens' Guard includes tho guard of tho islands of Onlni, Maui, Hawaii and Kauai, and bolioving that in tho Oitizons' organizations rests tho safety of tho community, wo recommond that tho Horn pass at tho original amount of 88000. "W. Y. Hoiineh, "EL "Wateiuiouse, "F. NOIITH1HJP." Senator "Wnterhouso for tho chairman of tho Committee on Education nsked for instructions as to tho printing of tho report of tho Board of Education, paying that considerable expeiibO was nt taohed to having it printed. On motion tho report was re ferred to the Printing Coramittoo with instructions to havo it print ed nnd translated. Sonntor AVatorhouso from tho MiscollnnoouB Coinmitteo report ed on tho itom of 85f1.87,doficionoy in tho Marshal's oilico from 1890, that tho matter could bo better fixed by a simple resolution of tho Sonata authorizing tho writing off of tho items on tho books. Minister Damon in answer to Senator McCandloss' question yes terday presented a statement show ing tho taxes paid by each corpor ation in tho islands, which ho stated waB for tho private inform ation of tho Sonnto and not for publication. With roferonco to tho request for tho amount of taxes paid on growing crops tho Minister statpd that ho had sent instructions to tho assessors on tho other islands to furnish tho desired information, and when tho same was received ho would re port it to tho Senate. Presidont AVildor announced the following special commit tees: On tho Opium Bill Sonators Brown, Horner, Schmidt, Lyman and Hocking. On tho Internal Taxos Bill Sonators McCandlehH, Boldwin, Brown, AVilcox nnd Northrup. Tho bill rolaling to laundrios and wnslilimiHOH eaino up on tlip order of tho day and passod i(H third reading unnnimously.

I., TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 189G. A mistake being found in tho bill it was reform! back to the Enroll ment Coinmitteo. Seunto Bill No. 1, nppropria tiono of salaries and pay rolls, was taken up on tho third reading. On motion of tho Attomoy Goneral the salary of tho first clerk of tho first circuit was raised from S3000 to 83G00. On motion of Senator Baldwin the salary of tho clork of tho Mnui Circuit Court was raised, from 8G00to87S0. When tho Ending of tho itom of S2400 for the pay of Chinoso nnd Jnpanoso Invoico Inspectors at tho Outom Houso was roached there was a general laugh from tho Senators and spec tators, but tho item passed without question. Senator McCaudless tried to got a reduction of the itom of SMO.OOO for tho pay of tho polico of Ho nolulu but mado a signal failure. An increase was made of S10 per month in tho pay of tho seven hosomon of tho Fire Department, making their pay 850 per month instead of 810. Undor quostions from Senator McCandloss the Minister of the Intorior Btatod that a proposition had boon mado by tho Hawaiian Electric compnny to tnko over tho Electric light plant from tho government and pay 8200 por month therefor, riioy also offered to furnish all tho street lights required at 810 por light per month. Ho thought some seventy lights moro woro needed than at present in use. Minister Damon Raid if. wns very nico to talk about sevonty moro lights, but ho must protest against any oxponso for tho noxt two years that was not absolutely necessary. Senator McCaudless wns very glad to hear tho Minister' of Fin ance talk that way. Tho entire appropriation for tho electric light works was 820,200. Thoro woro Bixty lights in use, which, with thu offer of the Company, would cost only 814,400, making a saving of S11.800. Ho would like (o have moro light ou tho subject before finally passing tho itom. Miuistor King said tho Senator must remember that tho govern ment works furnished lights for all tho public buildings in addi tion to tho streets, which would nccouut for much of tho differ ence. A motion to refer tho itom to tho Miscellaneous Cominitteo for investigation finally prevailed. All tho othor items in tho bill passed as on tho second rending and tho bill was again referred to tho Priuting Committoo for revi sion. At 11:40 tho Souato adjourned. Sixteenth Day, Maiioh 10th. HOUSE Or HEMlEbENTATIVES. t Minister Damon this morning submitted an answer to Bop. Rob ertson's questions rogardiug tho Board of Equalization of Taxes, in tho form of minutes of tho Board nnd its printed rules now in force. Bop. Kamauohn nsked tho fol lowing questions of tho Minister of tho Interior; ''Does tho Government propose to introduco any moro Chiueso or Jnpaneso into tho country? If so, how many are intended to bo imported? Secondly: Is thoio not enough labor in tho country to satisfy tho sugar, rice and othor industries?" Tho Government's bill to amend tho Land Act camo up for second rending, nnd Minister Cooper moved that tho bill pass. Boj). Byeroft spoke against tho bill. Ho wanted to seo the nntivo llawaiians got a chanco to settle ou tli 3 laud and cultivate it. If after two years tho plan should prove to ho a failure, then a moasuro liko that now beforo tho Houso could bo adopted. Ilo undorstood that tho bill was de ferred until today to enable tho Govornmont to givo further ox phinationH of its policy, Minister Cooper foil it wiih tin forliuiiito that ho should bo loft to ropnuuiiil tho tinitod opinion of Dm ICxouutivo on llin nmllur, vot ho would minimi tin Hoiikii tliut it wud nut )iu win imliuil for piwt ponement of consideration yes terdaj After tho meoting of tho Honie ho had, howovor, laid tho matter iinin beforo tho Cabinot. and it was their unanimous desiio that the passage of this bill should bo urged. It was a fact that tho discovery of tho provision of tho Land Act in question was a snrpviso to the Executive. WJmt had brought it io inoir urtPimon vi no learning; tlint 0. BoKo hni wiittt u to Germany, convoying the infor mation that homesteads free of rent and taxes woro available in Hawaii. Bop. Rycroft asked if tho Min ister wnsiiorroctly informed. He understood that Mr. Bolt'e had written to induce Gormati immi grants to conio hero for labor two years on tho plantations boforo taking up homesteads. Minister Cooper replied thnt ho know nil that, and it was not to head off Gormnu immigration tho bill was introduced, but tho offer ofMr;Bolto was tho first intim ation tho Government had of tho present condition of tho Land Act. Tho Minister proceeded to nrguo that tho law as it stood gavo land away without oithor rent or taxos in roturn, which distinctly mado those who took up tho land ben eficiaries of tho Govornmont, and this was a position that he was snro no Hawaiian would nccopt. Tim Laud Act with this proposed addition would still bo liberal in its provisions. Its bonefits woro on tho basis of a lot of eight acres of good land or sixteen acres of mixed dry nnd wot land to each homestead. Iho House was as sured that tho Govornmont had tho interests of tho Hnwaiiaus at heart, and thesoontored into every plan that they considered for tho geueral volfnre. Ho hoped tho bill would pass. Bep. "Winston seconded tho mo tion to pass tho bill. Bop. Byeroft said that homo- Btoads woro already exempt from taxes up to n valuation of 8300. Bops. Kamauoha nnd Hanuna supported tho bill. Bep. Biclmrds discovered a mistake sonowhero, referring to tho Land Act, and would ask loavo to withdraw his motion to lay tho bill on tho tablo. It op pearcd that nono of tho holders of liomosteads woro required to pay taxos. Ho would substituto a motion to refer tho bill back to tho coinmitteo. Bop. Byeroft contended that thoro was no mistake. Every man in tho country wns oxompt up to 8300 valuation. This bill required that tho homesteads should bo re-appraised overy twentieth year, then tho average ago of tho homesteader would bo sixty years, and, nt that ago, ho would havo taxation added for all his improvements to his home stead mndo in tho meantime. Bop. Bond would bo very sorry to oppose any measure emanating from tho Miuistors, because ho thought thoy woro men who woro worthy of boing trusted with tho conduct of public affairs. Yet ho thought it was vory strango that this vory point of froo homesteads Was ono especially urged while tho Land Act wns being considered at tho special session. Bep. Richards (on tho Speak er's asking, "Aro all ready for tho question ? ) No; I am not ready, l do not clearly understand tho matter, and if I havo to vote now 1 shall vote against tho bill. Minister Cooper stated, for tho second time, that tho law ns it stood mado tho lioldors of homo steads pensioners of tho Govorn mont. If tho homesteads return ed no rovonuo whatovor, tho Gov ornmont could not expend money in tho districts, whom tho lands aro situated, for tho roads noeded to opou up tho country. After homo further dosnltoty discussion, tho further consider ation of tho bill was doferred till tomorrow.

Hnnuua considered the pro- ' vision was only to require tho magistrate to attend punctually to tho duty, and tho Clork would be tho proper person to seo that ho did so. Bep. Kamauoha argued that ( even tho Clerk micht bo net'li'enL i nail pm Uo interests suffer lrom tho nugloet of both ollicinls. Ho urucd his amendment. Itop. Rycrott was opposed to the bill altogether. Ho was against Bending overything to Ho nolulu ns boing in tho lino of con trnlization. By-and-by ono could not brealho without coming to Honolulu. Thoy woro told yes terday it was for safe kooping, but whoro woro tho stone or iron receptacles for the? Tho docu ments woro to bo placed in woodon pigeon holes horo tho same as in tho country. If tho country mag istrates did not tako good caro of thoir records, lot them bo sent to tho seats of tho Circuit Courts of the respective jurisdictions thoso on Hawaii to Hilo, on Maui to AVai luku, otc. Unless tho bill woro bo amended ho should voto against it, and ho moved tho bill bo doferred until tomorrow for that purpose. Ho accepted an amendment from Rop. Richards, torofor the bill to a solect com mittee, and thus 'tho motion car ried. Beforo adjournment Speaker Naono appointed Bops. Byeroft, ivnmauohn nnd luchnrds as tho select committee. , Rop. Knmnuohn propounded tho following questions to tho Minister of Foreign Affairs: "1. Please to stato to this Houso how many Jnimneso nnd Chiueso have been brought into this country as lnborors during the two years ending December 31, 1895, and supplied to sugar plantations and othor industries? "2. How many laborers, Chiueso and Japanese, hnvo departed from this country these last two years ? " At 11:45 tho Houso adjourned. NOTES 01' MOTH HOUSES.
