Forty-ninth Day, April 13.
The Senate passed the registry of
vessels bill. Senator Waterhouse mov
ed to indefinitely postpone. On this
motion h? was supported by Senators
Rice and Kauhane. His motion was
lost and Senator Baldwin's motion to
pass the bill at third reading, carried.
The vote on this motion was the same
as on the motion to indefinitely post
pone. .Minister cooper repneu to the
request of the Senate for all corres
pondence with, the United States on
the subject ot registry or vessels, ine
.Minister read a letter from Minister
Sewall, sent at the time of the China
case, asking for a statement of the
position of the Government on the
subject. There was no other corres
pondence with a foreign country. Min
ister Cooper then stated the condition
under the present registry law. In 1S'j3
orders were issued to consuls to discon
tinue issuing provisional registers.
There had never been a law to issue
these registers. In July last, when
news was received that the annexation
treaty had been sent to the Senate, in
structions were sent to the Consul
General at San Francisco to communi
cate with the consuls to issue no regis
ters. Within a few days he received a
communication from 'Minister Hatch
in Washington advising that instruc
tions issue to consuls to the same ef
fect. Minister Hatch had been approached
by the Chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce who regretted
that there was no clause in the an
nexation treaty to prevent further
registration of Hawaiian vessels. Min
ister Sewall also communicated with
the department, and had announced
that he had heard from the Chairman
of the Commerce Committee calling
attention to the absence of any regis
try regulation in the treaty.
Minister Cooper said the policy of
the Government has been in accord
with the wishes of the friends of Ha
waii. Annexation was by no means
assured and it was ill-timed to say
Hawaii should show her independence.
If annexation should fail the Republic
would get enough of independence.
The emergency bridge and road bill
passed third reading, as did also the
House bill defining highways and re
quiring abutting owners to build side
walks.
The loan and the special appropria
tion bills passed second reading. The
Public Lands Committee reported on
several items, among which was an
adverse report on the Diamond Head
lighthouse. The item of $1500 to com
plete the structure was increased by
$2300 with directions to build a stone
or brick foundation, allowing the iron
1 a 1 . rt c r r r i
supports to stand. jn item 01 jo.uuu
was added and sent to the Public
Lands Committee for a new road on
Maui.
House bills relating to the disposi
tion ot the school 'tax, tne muy on
sake and claims against real estate
nassed first reading, the last named
goring to the Printing Committee.
At 11:43 the Senate adjourned.

minority of the Public La:
tee on Senate Bill In. rel
trays recommending that
laid on the table and indeJ:
pontil. respectively, were
were laid on the table to be
with the bill.
The majority report was ;
"The object of the bill is
the 'law with reference t the taking
up est rays found upon Government
roads, now confined t Honolulu,
throughout the country.
"We believe that the passage of the
bill would work a hardship up.;n the
graziers in many of the districts where
large tracts of pasture land are un
ieiicod, and also in cases where the
reads run through pasture tracts. It
would be unreasonable to force the
owners of large tracts of laud through
which a road runs to fence along both
sides of the road in order to save
their stock from being impounded.
"Further, experience shows that cat
tle frequently work their way through
the fences, and shculd they do so with
this bill in force" as law they be taken
up and impounded to the inconvenience
and expense of the owners, notwith
standing there is no harm done to any
body.
"While it is well enough to have
such a law for populous towns, we see
no good reason for extending it to pas
toral districts."
The minority report was cf the same
nature.

Rep. Robertson reported for the Ju
diciary Committee, on House Bid Cu,
amending Chapter 9 of the Penal Code
as follows:
"The only amendment contained in
the bill to the existing law, is to add
after the word "imprisonment the
words "at hard labor." We find that
imprisonment without labor is a rare
provision in our laws, inconsistent with
the present system of criminal admin
istration, and believe that omission
from the Penal Code of the words sup
plied by this bill was an accident.
Laid on the table to be considered
with the bill.
With a smile on his face Rep. Rich
ards introduced the following resolution:
Resolved, that the absence and tardi
ness of certain members from .the ses
sions of this House is detrimental to
the nublic interests and derogatory
to the dignity of the House.
Resolved, that the clerk furnish a
copy of this resolution to Representa
tives Robertson, Kaeo, Atkinson, Wild
er and Achi.
As it happened, the representatives
mentioned were absent when .the reso
lution was written. When the vote
to adopt the resolution was taken,
Reps. Robertson and Kaeo were ab-
spnr. The resolution was adopted by
a vote of 7 to 5.
Rep. Robertson presented a resolu
tion for the Judiciary Committee as
follows:
Resolved, that the following items be
appropriated in Senate Bill No. 3 fror
the public treasury to reimburse per
sons from whom taxes have been col
lected upon property for which taxes
had previously been collected as fol
lows: RETURN OF DOUBLE TAXES.
