Mr.. Hutchinson minister of the lnterior) said
that the Board of Health had many applications
for assistance, and had overrun their a%ppropria-
ton by several thousand dollars, without even
then supplying all demands. Some OF the mem
bers have desired to have a physician for each
election district, but that is altogether out OF the
question, as too great an expense to be under
taken. In view of the many applications from
all parties, from all parts of the islands, for
assistance, and for the establishment OF hospitals,
the present plan has been proposed, and it now
remains for this House to adopt or reject it. L

benefit, though there may be those VINO VIII not

at SIS, 900 carried-ayes, II; nays, IL.
MIR. Martin desired his vote recorded in the
nays which made it a tie. The President then
gave his vote ave. Considerable doubt was felt
in the result of the vote, when Mr.. Hutchinson
said he would move for a retaking of the vote,
seconded by Mr.. Judd, and that every member

motion was lost-nays, 20 ayes, IL.
Mr.. Lyons objected to this vote that had been
taken without being ordered by this House.
Considerable confusion resulted in the change
of votes, and the changes were called over. The
change of Mr.. Kumahoa's vote was questioned,
and MIR. Hanaike appealed, doubling the nsser-
MIR. Harris minister of Foreign Afairs)
objected in strong terms, as against all par
liamentary rules.
After considerable further discussion, the Chair
ruled that Mr.. Kumahoa's vote would not affect
the result.

at $4,000 as moved by Mr.. Bishop was then
put, and on motion of Mr.. Hutchinson, that every

Mr.. Bishop moved to make the item $25 600,
to enable the Government to treat with private
parties to assume the risk and management of
running the Rilauea, should any be found willing
to do SO, as there are parties largely interested in
inter navigation, who are at great expense,
who feel that the Government in running the
vessel was damaging their interests. He did not
make the motion to hinder or hamper the Gov
erpment, but to help the way if it should open up.
Mr.. Hutchinson said he was not in favor of the
steamer hiLaued, and never was, and SO felt him.
self placed in a delicate position on account of
the complicated nature of this subject. He did
not wish to have any responsibility in the matter,
and intends to move that the steamer Kikaued be
placed under the special charge of the Minister
of Finance.
Mr.. Lyons moved that inter-island steam navi-
cation be stricken out, and for expenses of
steamer Kilduea be substituted, the same as the
steam tug PeIe. --
MIR. Harris did not sec as it was advisable to

fairly tried, for, as a member of this House, who
had a voice in the money matters of the nation,
he felt there was a big swindle somewhere, as
the amount appropriated last year, and this, is
amply sufficient for four years, whereas we have
had none for the past two years.
Mr.. Smith minister of Finance) said at the
commencement of this session, he thought this
subject of the steamer KiLGuea had been pretty
thoroughly explained and understood. The
Kiiduea will be ready in a few days, and will be
worth $40 600 but the question is how to run
her, by Government or private parties. The
Government have received two offers from parties
here to take the KiIauea and run her. The first
offer was to take her with a subsidy of S12, 900 I
per annum, and the boat belong to them at the
end of five years, thus giving them $50 ,G00, and
the boat into the bargain which would be 49,
OOO more. Another ofer-from the same parties /
they run her for a subsidy of 81, 900,
and the Government retain the vessel. This is ~
of private parties offers, who think that
in every experiment, the Government should bear
the expense.
