The Ilubnto on tho President' Veto or tlio Srtko Illll-Tlio NenMo Vn- nnlinonM) Snstnln (lie limine. In tlio Houso yesterday itor noon tlio dobato ou tlio Brosi dout's veto of Ufo sako" bill aroused coiiRidorablo interest. Nearly all tbo Senators occupied suits and wero extiomoly interaated in tlio argument pro and con. Besides tlio Souato delegation there wns a largo nunibor of spectators. Tbo veto niessngo ou tbo sako bill yesterday is given in full: "To tbo Legislature of tbo Re public of llawaii: "I berowitb return for your re consideration, Hoiifao bill 51, en titled 'An Act to incronso tbo duty on spirituous liquors, still wines and other beverages made from materials other than crane iuice. amending Chapter 25 of tho Laws'' o lbUiJ, entitled "An Actio amend Chapter 28 of tho Session Laws of 1878 relating to duties." ' f'My objections to tbo said bill are as follows : "It seriously discriminates ngainBt a fermented liquor im ported largely from Japan, known aB sake. While it is truo that sako, under tho provisions of the presout law, pays lowor duties in proportion to its alcoholic strength than tho other liquors of tbo Bamo oIbbs, such as lager beer, stout and ale, it would, under this bill, if it should becomo law, pay far higher duties than tboso liquors in proportion to its alco holic strength. "I am reliably informed that 'nearly all tbo sako which is im ported for Bale as a bovoraco con tains over fourtoon por cent of al cohol, it boing necessary for its keeping qualities that it should contain about shcteon por cent. This would mako it liablo under this bill to a duty of one dollar a gal lon, or about six cents for each degreo ot nlcoholio strength, whoreas lager boor, stout and alo pay from threo to five conts, two and a half cents and from two to two and one-half conts por do groo of nlcoholio strength respec tively. "Distilled liquors pay from seven to olovon and two-thirds por cent on each dogroo of alcoholic strength; thus under tho bill be fore mo, sako in its liability to a duty of upwards of six conts on each dogroo of alcoholic strength, would approximate to tho class of distilled liquors. "I feel that legislation iB desir able in order to place sako in its proper position as rogards its lia bility to duty in relation to other liquors of a similar character. " I am informed that sake is al most tho solo intoxicating bovor ago of tho Japanese part of our community. A groat many of thoso pnoplo aro of small means, and a largo incronso in tho cost of thoir accustomed Btimulant such as would bo caused by tho in crease of duty contain plated by this bill, would bo to them a sori oub hardship. "Thoso peoplo aro an important part of tho Ilawaiian community and aro not diroctly roprosonted iu tho Legislature. This fact em phasizes tho duty of tbo Legisla ture of watching thoir interests and assuring to them as far ns possible the protection of our laws. Signed " SANroim 13. Doli:." After moving to pass tho bill over tho President's voto Eop. Robertson referred to the ovil effects of sako on tho natives and said that thoy woro such that tho government was almost justified in putting it in tho same category as opium and positively forbid ding its importation, oxcopt per haps for medical purposes. Tho othor liquors mado from grain, such as whiskey, paid from 7 to 12 couts por centum of thoir nlco holio strength whilo sako only -..'Ju.lufiMV-"'lj. Utt uv..i ,. A'.V- ..';, ."Aitit,. paid G cents. Instead of sako bo mg discriminated against it was tho opposite Ho hoped thoHoiiBO would stand by its colors and pass the bill notwithstanding tho voto. Minister Cooper again explain ed tlirt President's iuoIimm and nrgued in favor of tho stand ho had taken in vetoing the bill. Ren. Rvcroft said tlio drinkiiur of sako had been going on long enough for tho government to find out what its ellects were. IIo bad Boino knowledgo of brewing, enough to mako tho assertion thnt a II per cent, alcoholic strength wino could not bo ''made from a bre,w. Tho brow was fortified afterwards by alcohol made in a still Ho was convinced that sako was delotorious aud it was not from tho alcohol it contained. Ho understood tho deleterious effects woro caused by a species of seaweed used in tho manufacture which affected tbo brain. Tho government should have posted itself ou tho matter. Speaker Nnono called Rep. Ry croft to the chair aud said ho had voted for the pnssago of tho bill but now ho thought there was food for reflection in tho Presi dent's messago and tho remarks of tbo minister. Ho had como to tho conclusion ho bad been too hasty and would voto against tho motion. Rep. RobortBon again refuted the arguments advanced by tbo Speaker aud MiniBtor Cooper aud wound up by saying that ho was surprised to find that the Spoakor who was n tomperanco man and would-bo prohibitionist arguing in favor of a liquor that was fast sending bis raco to perdition. Rop. Hanuna had not intended to spoak ou tho motion but could not keep quiet after hearing tho Speaker's romarks. Ho said: "If I had my way thoro would not be a drop of liquor in tho country, but that isout of tbo question. 1 am surprised to boar that tho honorable member from, Hono lulu would favor anything that ho knows means death and destruc tion to his people. Tho honora blo Speaker is tho superintendent of a Sunday school, and as such tells his scholars of tho ovils of sake, aud yet ho gets up hero and favors an action that will admit tlio misorablo stuff into tho conn try at a lowor duty than tho bill provides. I hopo boforo tho Houso ndjourns that ho will see' his mistako and voto to pass tho bill ovor tho veto of tho President. Tho othor day tho Minister of Pinanco showed us that tho tendency of tho peoplo ran toward lightor drinks, and wo passed a bill admitting light wiuo frpo; it was a stop toward prohibition. If tbo Presidont has mado a mistako in vetoing tho bill, it is our duty to correct it rather than ondorso bis action." Rop. Rycroft wound up tho do bato by saying that if trouble caino with Japan ovor this legis lation so much the bettor. Tho throat of Japanese interference had boon hold ovor us long enough aud it was time it ondod. If Japan did interforo so much tho bettor, for right thon and thoro tho United Statos would annex tlio Islands or deolaro a protector ate and wo should finally know whoro wo woro at. Upon tho call of tho roll tho voto in favor of tho motion stood 10 to 1, Speakor Naono being tho lono ono. Aftor notifying tho President that tbo Houfao was ready to ad journ and passing tho usual com plimentary votes to the officials, tho Houso at 3:30 p. m. adjourned sino die. The Sonato reconvened immedi ately aftor tho adjournment of tho Houso. Ministor Cooper presented tho President's veto and tho clerk read a communication showiug tho action of tho Houso thereon. A motion was immodiatoly mado to paBS tho bill ovor tho voto, in accordauco with a caucus decision previously arrived at. Ministor Uooper reiterated tho arguments mado by him in tho lowor Houso and insisted that tho voto ought to bo sustained. IIo referred to tho distribution of J documents in tho lowor House iA emanating from dealers iu Cali fornia wines. Ho feared tho Sen nto was allowing itself to bo in fluenced by thorn. Senator Baldwin said tho gov ernment bad not Jived up to its promises on tho liquor question. It was understood they woro to reg ulato tbo duties on liquors in pro portion to tho alcoholic strength, but thoy had douo nothing of the kind. On tho contrary thoy bad introduced a bill clearly dis criminating in favor of California wines. If tho government had tho right to discriminate in favor of ono class of winos, the Legis lature had an pqual right to dis ci immato against another, es pecially whou tho lattor woro shown to bo delotorious to tho public health. Too much had been said about this being a sako bill and that it discriminated against tho Japanoso wiuo of that name. Ho would remind tho Senators that tbo word sako was not oven mentioned in tho bill. Ho would voto in favor of passing tho bill ovor tho veto. Senator McCandlcss closod tho dobato by reading at length tlio document which Minister Cooper had complained was distributed by tho California wiuo dealers. If tho figures thoreiu woro not cor rect it was for tho govornment to show it. Thoy bad not douo so aud tho infoienco was that thoy woro correct. Japan allowed a robato on export duties oil sako sent to this couutry and he bo lioved that tho import duties should bo correspondingly in creased. Ho was satisfied that tho bulk of tho sako brought hero should bo classed as a spirit in stoad of a light wino. Ho should voto to pass tho bill. On tho call of tho roll it was found that tho Sonato had unani mously voted to pass tho bill over tho voto. Sonator Brown was appointed a committee to notify tho Pre sident that tho Senate was ready to adjourn and returned with tho information that ho bad no further communication to mako. Where upon at 4:30 tho Sonato adjourned sino dio. .vr,' nroNt: 'itrsin:ii. I'lirwN Itook n n Clilnninnu Doci lllco -l'orlt'ct Nutlnlitctioii. " Roads and Bridges" havo lato ly imported a portable Btono crusher, and Road Supervisor Oummings haB just set it to work at Hackfold's quarry on tho side of Punchbowl. It is a Chainpion bearing the firm uamo plato of Joshua Hendy Machino Works, San Francisco,(although stencilled marks on tho' sido say it was mado in Pennsylvania. At all events, it is a very handy tool, with a capacity of ton tonB a day. It is operated by au upright ongino and it chows blocks of stono about a foot in diamotor in to fino road metal without seomiug to jar itsolf a littlo bit. It can bo takon dowu aftor uso and wheeled away on its own wheels in twenty minutes. Tho ilywheol carrying tho bolt from tho ongino surrounds one of tho ground wheels of tho machine, and whon a chango of baso is desired this outer wheel is quickly roraoved, letting tho ma chino down on its two sido road wheels. Thon a goosouock with Bhaft nttaohod,having tho two foro traveling whools, is boltod on, tho horses aro hitched and away it goes. Tho "Chainpion" is giving perfect satisfaction, tho engineer says, and tho roportor who has soon it in operation agrees with tho voi diet. m llrucu Wnrluc dt Co. In conversation with 0. E.

But it was soon interrupted by tho tidal waves Which continued, and aftor tho bow' and stem lines wero carried away several times, tho peoplo nboard thought it host to leavo. Tho water receded and returned about oight times ot Kapaa, tbo waves being four foot high. At Nawiliwili, tho wator rushed up ovor tho road, boyoud tho bridgo, and ontorod a, store, about thirty yards from tho beach. Tho unusual occurrenco was obsorved at othor placos on Kauai, particularly at Kilauoa.
