The committee appointed to report on the bill
relating to Chinese doctors, recommend that they
be allowed IL practice. and the words - Chinese
only in the bill be struck out. To be consider
ed with the bill.
The Minister of the Interior informed the
House that it had pleased HIS Majesty to return
the bill to amend Chapter Ill Of the Penal Cude,
without his signature. THIS is tue bill known as
Mr.. HUapili BIker'e liquor bill.
The Minister added, that tho errors and omis-
sions were so great that it could not possibly be-
come law, even if His Majesty had signed it.
Whereas, there are serious Complaints against
the present school agent at Makawao.
Resolved, that ne be removed from his post,
and that Slr. Beckley be appointed in his stead.
Mr.. Rhodes said he fully recognized the right
Of the people Of that district to address this As
sembly but he was Of opinion that it was their
first duty to seek redress from the Board Of Edu-
cation. and he felt sure they would get a courte-
Gus answer. No communication had been re-
ceived by the Board OF Health from these people,
and if the grievance does exist, it could be speed
lily remedIed He would therefore recommend
the gentleman to withdraw the resolution.

Mr.. Pilipo spoke at length against the passage
OF the item. showing the harm that would follow
the unlimited influx Of Chinese into this country.
The Minister of Finance spoke in favor of tue
item. He said it is not in our power to keep
Cinnamon away from this country. Two-thirds
of the revenue is derived from Chinese. This
House would have nothing to do with the bill
that was introduced to stop the immigration of
Chinese. The gap is open and they can come
and 90 as they please. Why make a distinction
and give a subsidy to one line and not to
another. He had a letter from the Chinese con-
sui stating that the line is going to be opened.
He did not see that 1t would IN any way effect
the conditions of the reciprocity treaty. Do MT
let us be led astray by any of our friends, but
rather let us stick to the terms of that treaty
and we shall do right. He moved the previous
question.
DR.. Mott smith moved that the original ques-
ton be reconsidered. This is an important mat
ter, and he had not had a chance to say a word
about it. We zee the extraordinary fact of q
Minister moving the previous question and there
bu cutting of his colleagues. This procedure
was not done by argument or reason, but by
some influence, the nature of which he could
not say. He did not wish to cast any imputa-
tions, but he wished that the matter be argued
fairly and sauarely. lie had no monied interest
In the question. but he felr il to be his duty to-
wards the people and the constitution to speak
on it. He would like to see a chance for a fair
