TO WAIT WITH
THE LOAN BILL
Other Appropriations Must Be Put
Through Before That One
Is Passed.
The success or failure of the session of the Legislature now
rests with the "House, and only two days remain in which to finish
up the work of the extra term. From utterances made hy
V'bcans, on the floor of the House, it would appear that'thc Loan Bill
is m the greatest danger; that this measure will not get through
unless all other appropriations have been put by and signed, and
that if there shall be any lack of time, the Governor will be asked
to grant an extension, failing which an attempt will be made to
force him to do so.
t
The last of the regular budget measures was passed by the
House yesterday, the Eighteen Months Salary Bill, and it will be
received uy me senate mis morning, i nere win ee home nam
work upon it, for the salaries will have to be kept on the same level
with those of the Six Months Bill, if there is to be any attempt at
coherency, and this will increase the work before conference committees
today.
The Senate passed the Coney claim Bill, against the recommendation
of the committee to which it was referred, and will have
it up on third reading today. The Eighteen (Months Current Account
Bill was passed third reading.
Senators are in a quandary over the status which will ensue if
the present session shall fail to put through the appropriation
measures. Yesterday Senators Crabbe, Paris- and McCandless
waited on the Attorney General to secure an interpretation of the
clause which has caused some comment, bearing upon the availability
of the old appropriation measures.
The section of the Organic Act bearing upon this matter reads
'
thus: ' '
Sec. That 'in caseof failure of the Legislature to pass appropriation
bills providing for payments of the necessary current
expenses of carrying on the government and meeting its legal obligations
as the same arc provided for by the then existing laws,
the governor shall, upon the adjournment of the legislature, call it
in extra session for the consideration of appropriation bills, and
(
until the legislature shall have acted the treasurer may.! with the
advice of the governor, make such payments, for which purpose
the sums appropriated in the last appropriation bills shall be deemed
to have been reappropriated. And all legislative and other appropria
tions made prior to the date when this Act shall take effect, shall
be available to the government of the Territory of Hawaii.
The contention is made that this is permissory only until the
legislature shall have acted, and as in the event of failure to appropriate
now, the clause making an extra session imperative is operative,
just as much as it was on the ending of the regular session.
Attorney General Andrews took up the matter at once and will
give an opinion today.

BOYCOTT Of S..& KOREA
BY CHINESE MERCHANTS
' ' --
It Will Be Madeu.AbsoiuteL!n Default of
Treatment ot Chinese Residents
By Commander Seabury. r v.
The Chinese merchants of Honolulu
have declared an alternative boycott
upon the Pacific Mall steamship Korea.
For the saving clause to prevent the
boycott being made absolute, the merchants
require an assurance that the
indignities they feel have been put upon
them and their people by the commander
of the Korea shall cease.
The most recent Instance of the
grievance and that which has aroused
the entire Chinese mercantile commu
nity to action Is the refusal of the
Korea's commander to allow Wong
Leong to go aboard the steamer, when
last in port on the voyage from Snn
Francisco to the Orient, to see his son
oft to Japan. The lad was going as a
first class passenger to spend a vacation
In the Land of the Rising Sun,
taking in the international exposition
at Osaka.
Not only was Wong Leong turned
back from the gangway, Imt so were
thirty or forty Chinese residents who
desired to see friends off to the Orient.
Fully eighty per cent of the number,'
wlthnl, are American citizens. Wong
Leong is a leading Chinese merchant,
nn American citizen and married to a
Hnwailnn womnn.
but the Chinese merchants deem 'it
proper to tackle but one of the' leviathans
nt a time.
The alternative boycott Ib the outcome
of a series of earnest meetings.
Its form 13 that of a set of resolutions,
which has been signed by all of the
Chinese merchants In town, as one of
them Is authority for saying. This Is
apart from a complaint forwarded to
the Secretary of the Treasury.
It appears that Captain Seabury of
the Korea disregarded the passes fur
nished the Chinese to go aboard his
ship by both Collector Stacknble and
H. Hackfeld & Co , agentB of the line.
One Chinese merchant stated to an
Advertiser reporter that the Japanese
liners attempted tho exclusion act on
the Chinese here, but changed their
policy when the Chinese business guild
caused nn absolute cessation of its pat
ronage In both passengers and freight
to the line.
The Chinese colony have had the
grievance in question rubbed in, upon
different occnslons, by tho repulsion
from the gangways of the offending
steamers even of consular ofllcers.
Their large proportion of the traffic
dono by transpacific steamers' gives the
Chinese merchants a rather stroncr
This latest Instance ot offense Is one'whlphand of the sltuntlon. Thev have
