Castle moved that it pass at 10,000. His Excellency Mr. Gibson made a strong speech in favor of the vote of $30,000, which is $20,000 less than was originally proposed.

C. O. Berger, as follows One at the Palace, one at the Government Building, one on Richard street in front of the Palace gate, and two on King street. The engine at the foundry was started the night before and the connections were tested and a private exhibition of the lights was given. Shortly after 7 o'clock last night the electricity was turned on and as soon as darkness increased the vicinity of palace Square was flooded with a soft bit brilliant light, which turned the night into day.

The exhibition was wll advertised, and by 7:30 o'clock the streets leading to Palace Square were filled with moving people. By 8 o'clock an immense crowd had gathered. Before 9 o'clock the Royal Hawaiian Military Band commenced playing and THE MILITARY COMPANIES Soon marched into the Square according to announcement. The battalion drill took place under the command of His Majesty the King. The volunteer companies were out in force, with the exception of the Honolulu Rifles, ami all presented a fine appearance.

The evolutions of the battalion could be clearly seen by the aid of the electric lights, and the different companies received re peated applause from the large concourse of spectators. After the drill, the companies stacked arms and adjourned to the Government Building grounds, where a TKA PARTY Was given, under the auspices of ths Society for the Education of Hawaiian Children, organized by Her Royal Highness the Princess Liliuokalani and Her Royal Highness the Princess Like-like. The Palace was brightly illuminated, and the large crowd movingamong the trees and tents, which had beer, erected, made a pretty picture. The tents where refreshments were served were well patronized, and the evening passed pleasantly until after 11 o'clock. After the band left, the crowd slowly dispersed.

Retrenchment has been recommended by His Majesty the King, and reduced estimates have been presented to the Assembly. It is impossible to say at present how-far a retrenchment policy has been adhered to.

This will best be understood when the Appropriation bill is reported back from the Committee of the Whole. New votes have been added to a considerable amount, and of these it may be said that hardly one of them if unnecessary. Indeed, much more might be "done in the way of providing safe landings and wharves, in building bridges, and opening and improving roads. But the want of money stares the Administration and the Legislature in the face. Hence thj necessity for enacting the Internal Tax bill, and probably also some other revenue-producing measure.

If this duty be neglected the Legislature may only blame itself if tho revenue falls short of the requirements under the Appropriation Act. And here it may be pertinent to remark that the session has advanced so far that it is not desirable to have any further delays in the consideration of the Appropriation bill. The season is advancing, and it is time the members of the Legislature were returning to IQ-MltS. MELLIS' dressmaking establishment on the prcm(s. under the Homestead Act.

The innt appeared to be that with the exception of about 150 acres suited for cane, tho rest was timber land, unfit for cultivation and that the late Minister of the Interior had exercised his discretion, and thought that the public interests would re best served by the sale if the least of the projerty as a whole. In tliisi view, after investigation. His Kxcellency Mr. Gibson concurred; and he thought the sale should proceed, although if the House passed the resolution he would pay resjiect to such an expression of opinion. A good deal of cheap nentiment was made out of the settlement olicy of the Homestead law, ithout any reference to the Kjei i.il merits of this particular case.

Hi Kxcellency the Attorney General rorited the facts, and naid that the discretion' rested with the Minister of the Interior under the law, and he would advise the sale to proceed. If the siijv porters of the resolution were in earnest they should have introduced a measure early in the session, providing that all land reverting to the Government um the expiration of the lease, or by forfeiture through breach of covenant as in tlii! ease, should be reserved for settlement under the Homestead law. They had not done bo, and he therefore objected to an attempt to use the machinery of the I-egislature under cover of a general law to secure private ends. This remark brought up Mr. Thurstcn, who charged the Attorney General with wearing the collar of Colonel Sprockets in the House, and with having acted as that gentleman! attorney in of thid land, claiming for himself the most perfect liberty and disinterestedness.

The Attorney General replied that although he had appeared for Colonel Sprockets in the Courts of California and in this Kingdom also, he had not advised him in this transaction, nor was he his mouthpiece either in or out of the House. It was a simple question of law, and a resolution of the House could not void a statute. He charged that the attorney for Mr. Davies, who was a member of the House, lodged a protest but failed to stop the sale, and now Mr. Thurston moved this resolution for him to effect the same object through the Legislature.

Mr. Thurston denied this, and stated that Mr. Dole was the attorney of Davies, and that he himself bad nothing to with it. This controversy became rather ier-soD-il, and originated in the rude attack by 'Mr. Thurston upon the Attorney General.

Scarcely had set his foot on the boulevards, when he indulged to such an extent in champagne and in different other intoxicating beverages, that he had to be carried to a hospital, where he battled between life and death for several days. When, however, he was able to live he hired a cab and led a bacchanalian life for several days and nights, spending some thousands of francs in the wildest freaks and orgies, until finally his friends had again to interfere, and he was again dispatched to Charenton, a greater lunatic than ever.

Gill's madness is what French medical men call folie des grandeurs Wardens who are brought into daily communication with the unfortunate artist assert that he is constantly proclaiming himself in his cell "King of the Earth and Emperor of the Seas." He is fully convinced that he has supreme powers over the universe, and is very anxious in exacting homage from friends who visit him. Gill's insanity was due principally to the overdose of flattery he had to swallow. He found himself on a giddy eminence that turned bis head, bringing about those eccentricities of character which afterwards terminated fatally. He was the lion of caricaturists in Paris.

Among other important bills before the Legislature is one relating to the registration of shipping. This bill should become law.

It will make a difference of about forty per cent in favor of shipowners, and as it ill apply to coasters as well as to ocean-going steam and sailing vessels, the hipping interests of the country as a whole will be lienefitted. There are other bills of more or less importance before the House, but these three appear to us to be absolutely necessary from a fiscal and economic standpoint. Doubtless there will be the usual "slaughter of the innocents" at the finish, but we need not now anticipate results. Poiiukaina Girls School. The closing examinations and exercises of the above school took place yesterday and occupied most of the day.

The school rooms were tastefully decorated and the walls were hung with banners and mottoes. The youngsters of the school were clad in white uniforms. In Miss Corney's department the exercises included the 4th, 5th and Gth grades, and consisted of singing and calisthenics, recitations, dialogues and concerted pieces, together with exercises in reading, spelling, geography, grammar, arithmetic and blackboard, natural philosophy and astronomy. In Mis3 Luce's department the second and third grades were examined in reading, arithmetic, geography and "English words." The children of this department gave creditable recitations. In Mrs.

Wood's department the primary or first grade gave exercises in reading and arithmetic, together with a number of recitations. The singing was conducted by Professor Berger, and at the close of the programme the school united in singing "Hawaii Ponoi." -OF- themselves should be rther favorable Than otherwise. Actors and actresses, literary men and publicists, thronged around him and encouraged his efforts so much so that Gill fairly believed himself to be the only man in all the world capable of turning out a respectabl cartoon. I remember seeing in the Paris Sulon some ten years ago a remarkable painting of poor Gill's representing fool struggling with folly, which the critics of the hour considered a masterpiece in itself. Gill was half a fool himself while he wa? working at the tableau, and shortly afterwards became an almost hopeless victim to 'hefulif.
