An Act TO provide medicines and medical COM
forts for contract labOrers and destitute people,
on it's second reading, introduced by Mr. Rhodes.
On motion it was decided to discuss it section
by section. The first section as amended reads
thus
Section /. The owner OF manager Of every
plantation, mandatory OF other industrial es-
/ Enlistment in which contract labOrers are en-
gagged, shall provide medicine, medical attend
ance, and comforts with suitable lodging, free OF
charge to eyery such contract labOreI or worker
when necessary.
Mr.. Rhodes said he had prepared two addition
al sections, and he proposed that the House re-
solve itself into committee of the whole to discuss
the bill. Carried.
MIR. ). W. kaaI moved that the first section
pass.
Mr. Rhodes explained the object OF the bill.
He said it was for persons Oh low wages, and
who are thereby unable to furnish themselves
with medical attendance. lie was vt opinion
that 4 man who receives more than 81 per day
ought to be able to pay for himself. Some MEM
bers think that because "a man has q plantation
ne must be rich. IL 70 a mistake. lie thought
It was the duty oil the state to support the poor.
Mr. Gibson supported the bill. \ measure OF
this kind does honor o. the intTOducer and honor
TO this Assembly If il should pass. In colonial
planting countries, more especially those OF Eng
land, great care Is taken Of the health OF the peO-
pie. IL is necessary, not only n Il sign OF our
own progress, but also OF our humanity.
Mr. Bishop thought II would be OnerOus on the
planter to gay 81 a day wages and have to find
medicines. Ae did not wish 10 critcise the mo-
tive which led the Honorable Noble TO bring in
the bill, but he thought many parts of it were
unnecessary, and that the Introducer would
shortly wish to see IL repealed. lie would feel
obliged TO oppose it unless very much altered.
Tire Minister Of tue Interior objected to the
eOmpulsiOn Of physicians attending once a week.
HIS experience was that plantation people are
the best cared for in the country. 1t is to the
[ NJ nfarfE EnFa-aaF that m Ghnrln no IN
good health.
The second section was read as follows
Section III. That owners &c, employing
about so or more contract laborers shall employ
u physician for their benefit, and in cases of ill
ness ne shall attend as often as he shall deem
necessary.
A long discussion took place on this section,
and 1t was unfinished when the House adjourned
at 4 p IN. --

ton
W hGAGA0 a NlL NiD1N VI tAG EE51AOu VI 1910 Il
grave difference existed with the British Govern
ment, growing out Of the protest Of British mer-
chants against paying duties on certain goods I'M
der the treaty Of Great Britain Of 1852 aud.
Whereas. IN negotiating the Geeeutly made
treaty with the German Empire an additional az
ticle was found necessary Co prevent cOmplIca-
tons with that power On account OF the treaty
Of reciprocity with the United States therefore,
Resolved. that the Minister o, Foreign Rela-
tIOns be requested u Iui0rm this Assembly
whether any steps have been taken to reconcile
the difference with the British Government above
mentioned.
The Minister of Foreign Relations said 1t was
with some surprise ne had heard the resolution
Just read. Up u the present time the British
Government has made no claim IL alluded to IN
the resolution. In 1879 there was some So 900
paid under protest. but he did not see anything
on the part Of the Hawaiian Government to con-
cede, and If the British Government has a claim.
they have q commissioner 20 do it, and It ought
not TO be brought M through tine House. Since
those amounts were paid under protest, nothing
further has been heard Oi the matter, and ii those
people wish 20 perfect their claims they must
bring them through the courts Of tine Kingdom.
MIR. PIlipO said It would be better If the Min
lister could report the final settlement of all
claims lie would ask 1t the Introducer was sat
is6ed with the reply.
Mr.. Rhodes said what arises from the reply of
the Minister Of Foreign Relations must come
hereafter.
The Information asked for having been granted,
the resolution was withdrawn.
