Mr.. Junius Kaae presented the reply to His Mai
esty's speech drawn up by the committee appoint
ed for that purpose. Mr.. Gibson read the English
version, as follows:
SrEE: The Mobiles and Representative Of the
Legislative Assembly hasten to respond 70 Your
Maiestys Address on the opening OF the session OF
lSs2.
With Your Majesty, We appreciate the efforts
made by the officers Of the Government to stay
the ravagcs Of the smallpox epidemic; and We
trust that the heavy expenditure incurred Will be
fully justified IN the public accounts
Your Mljesty's assurance OF our harmonious re
lations with foreign powers. receive with great
satisfaction; and We beg TO express the hope that
our prudent attitude, as weak state, shall con-
tinue TO be accepted with favor by friendly treaty
With all Your Majesty's subjects. We have re-
joiced in the noble opportunity afforded TO Your
Majesty by tour round the world, Of gaining
many Royal and State friendships, and OF obtain
ing valuable information for the advancement and
welfare of our Hawaiian State.
We are pleased with the assurances of our pro
gressiye commercial and financial condition; and
shall be happy TO cooperate IN the work OF egis-
lation with Your Maiesty's Government in prumot-
ing healthy and steady advance Of prosperity.
Your Maiesty's patriotic views IN regard TO the
repopulation of the Kingdom by the importation of
families we cordially appreciate. But We beg to
submit that such families should be. indeed, not
only "congenial to our soil, climate and institu-
tons but TO our People: and whilst we highly
esteem the Portuguese immigrants from the
Azores as a valuable addition to the population Of
the Kingdom, shall be glad to have tested, Ger
tain oognate race associations with the Hawaiian
population.
We regret that any difficulties of sufficient mag
nitude in the matter Of Portuguese immigration
had arisen, TO induce Your Maiesiy's Minister Of
the Interior 10 leave his important post Of duty
near the commencement Of the Legislative Sessions
and hope that the diplomatic action Of Minister
Carter, considered necessary TO supplement the
negotiation of the able Portuguese immigration
agency already established will prove Of sufficient
value TO have warranted his withdrawal from duty
at homeland the necessarily large expenditure OF
public treasure.
Your Majesty's recommendation Of a specific
| loan for immigration, and for measures Of inter
nal improvement will receive our most earnest and
deliberate consideration.
We join with Your Majesty in thanldulness to
| Almighty God for many blessings 10 our beloved
Hawaii and in prayer that our little State may be
guided Alright and guarded from perils, both at
home and abroad.
Mr.. S. X Kaai thought that it was not a good
! translation. He was Of the opinion that there
were a number Of words in the English version
shat were not III the Hawaiian.
Mr.. Gibson said the translation was made by the
official translator Of the House and furthermore.
| three members of the Committee were well ac-
quainted with both languages.
| Mr.. Widemann suggested that it be read SEN
tence by sentence in each language.
On the reply being read second time, Mr. kaai
| moved that II be adopted.
His E1celency W. /. Green thought that the
reply just read, very nice one. There were, how
ever, one OF two sentences he would wish 10 hear
| repeated for the information Of himself and his
colleagues.
After the reading, he said that the sentence just
read implied that His Majesty had said in His
Message, that the people 10 be introduced are not
coneenial to this climate, and the inference was
that the Committee wished to suggest what he had
already expressed
marks Of the Minister of Foreign Affairs were
perhaps justified by the wording of the document.
| The aim of the Committee had been to emphasize
the utterance would be congenial TO people.
Mr.. Green would like TO know what are the cog
nate races referred TO in the reply
Mr.. Gibson said he would take the liberty to re-
ply. They did not recognize the Portuguese as a
coCnate race to the Hawaiians, and other Euro
peans who are valuable additions 10 our pOpula
ton are not cognate races. They recognized the
South Sea Islanders as cognate Of the Hawaiians,
having affinity of blood with one another. The
japanese would be recognised as more cognate
than any. European stock Also the HindOOs.
Therefore whilst efforts are being made for repopu-
lation they should not be looking TO Europe when
cognate races can be found in this ocean, the In
dian Ocean and in Asia. That was briefly the view
of the committee on this matter.
Mr.. Green accepted the explanation.
The report was adopted.
Mr.. G. r. Bishop moved that it be presented to
| His Majesty by the same committee that had
/ drawn il up. Carried.
