When congress, at the lust session, was adopting lawn for the government, of Hawaii au amendment, "nor shall saloons for the sale of intoxicating drinks be alio wed,'1 was adopted in the House of Representatives by a vote of 66 to 60. During the discussion of this amendment, which was offered by Mr. Gillett of Massachusetts, it was stated by Congressman Fitzgerald that the enforcement of the prohibitory law in Main? was a farce, which utterance called forth the following reply from Congressman Littlefield of Maine: 'I will not waste any time in talking about the prohibition law ot the State of Maine today. I will sav that the centleman cannot. ' o put bit* finger on a spot or place in the State of Maine where liquor is sohl openly. Now, I make this statement, and 1 am from th at State.

By unanimous consent of the House -Congressman Finley, of South Carolina, was allowed two minutes for a speech and here is what he said: "Mr. Chairman, as a matter of i principle and conviction I would | vote lor tho amendment offered by tho gentleman from Massachusetts; and, in addition to that, 1 will sav that there are reason* existing peculiar to the native Hawaiian which, if understood hy this House, I believe would cause each and every member here to vote for the amendment. 1 regret, Mr. Chairman, that 1 cannot go into these reasons or discuss them here.
