ORDER OF THE DAY.
The consideration Of the Appropriation Bill.
The following items passed
Pay of POstmasters- ..-.-. : 5000
Pay Of Mail 1902
The next item was for medical superintendent,
Leper Settlement set down at $4,000.
Mr.. Kaulukou moved that the item be struck
out. The gentlemen had not cured a single lep-
er, and he was generally of opinion that his SER
vices could be dispensed with.
The Minister OF the Interior said, it he could
cure one Ieper, he could cure all. No physician
had ever cured leprosy. This money was not
asked for with the expectation of curing the dis
ease; their sufferings are alleyiated as far as they
can be, and that is the duty of the phsician.
Before they had a doctor the lepers used to die
in any way whatever. 1t rests with you Haw-
aiians whether you have a doctor or not. You
will never hnd a man more fitted for the post
than the present incumbent. They are subject
to many more ills besides lepkosy. Last Fall
there we're many cases of fever.
Mr.. Kalua agreed that the lepers were well
cared for before this doctor went there. He had
been told that this doctor Is preparing a book,
out Of which he expected to realise a profit, con-
sequently he is being paid by the Government for
his own private work.
The Minister of the Interior said, you cannot
0et "A DhvsIcian To on and EtOn NJ Kalavao for 10
months consecutively.
The indefinite POstpOnement of the item was
put to the vote and were taken as follows
Bush, Kunuskea Lilikalani. Baker.
Kesu, Kalama. KAulukOu, KsAuaHna, Gibson, Nahaku,
Kaius. W WILCOX. Glendou. Nawahi. wahine, Kauna-
wilder. Kapena. Preston. Kanoa, Domi-
mis-. Kahanu, ~CleghGrn. Parker, Kuihelani. Martin. Judd,
Kupihsa-1s.
The Minister of the Interior then moved to in
sert an item of $1,000 for services rendered.
Carried.
The next item was for = travelling physicians. -
Mr. RhOdes-HOw many are there?
The Minister Of the Interior-Four.
Mr.. Rhodes said. there Is a bill before the
House to provide medical aid for sick and indig-
ent persons, and also that a resolution had been
passed to give $50, 900 for building branch hos
pitfalls, but they were informed that for this sum
the project could not be carried out.
The Minister of the Interior said $50 900 was
not sufficient for five hospitals.
Mr. Rhodes said, he believed it would go a
very short way, at the same time there had been
great complaints of how these travelling physi-
cIans had neglected their duty. We are in
formed that they draw their pay, and that is all.
The state of things on the other islands is being
revolutiOnized. The same appropriation slightly
added to would pay for resident physicians. He
would move that it read travelling and resident
physicians and be increased to $40, 900.
Mr. Gibson said be was in favor OF increasing
the salary of these physicians. He had seen the
advantages Of medical science. Good men will
not stop in a district where there is not a moder-
ate foreign population.
An amendment was made to increase the item
to S26. 900, and omit the word 90 travelling -
Carried.
