REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
Gov. J. o. Dominis, Chairman of the Commit
tee of Enrolment, announced the Act relating to a
member for Kaanapali as being signed by His
Majesty.
Mr. Junius Kaae presented the reply to His Maj
esty's speech drawn up by the committee appoint
ed for that purpose. Mr.. Gibson read the English
version, as follows:
SIRE: The Mobiles and Representatives of the
Legislative Assembly hasten TO respond to Your
Maiestys Address on the opening of the session Of
1882.
With Your Majesty, we appreciate the efforts
made by the officers of the Government TO stay
the ravages of the smallpox epidemic; and we
trust that the heavy expenditure incurred Will be
fully justified IN the public accounts.
Your Malesty'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 a weak State, shall con-
tnue to be accepted with favor by friendly treaty
powers.
With all Your Maiesty'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.
o
gressive commercial and financial condition; aud
shall be happy to cooperate in the work Of egis-
lation with Your Majesty's Government IN promot-
ing healthy and steady advance of prosperity.
Your Malesty'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 "coneenial to our soil, climate and institu-
tions," but to our People; and whilst highly
esteem the Portuguese immigrants from the
Azores as a valuable addition to the population Of
the Kingdom, we shall be glad to have tested, Ger
tain oognate race associations with the Hawaiian
Ne regret that any difficulties of sufficient mag
nitude in the matter of Portuguese immigration
had arisen, to induce Your Majesty's Minister of
the Interior to leave his important post of duty
near the commencement of the Legislative Session;
and we 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.
loan for immigration, and for measures of inter
nal improvement will receive our most earnest and
deliberate consideration.
We join with Your Majesty in thankfulness TO
Almighty God for many blessings TO 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

quainted with both languages.
Mr.. Widemann suggested that it be read SEN
tence by sentence III each language.
On the reply being read a second time Mr. Kaai
moved that il be adopted
His Excellency W. L. Green thought that the
reply Just read, very nice one. There were, how
over, one OF two sentences he would wish to 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 to be introduced are not
congenial to this climate, and the inference was
that the Committee wished to suggest what he had
already expressed.
Mr.. Gibson said, in explanation. that the re-
marks of the Minister of Foreign Affairs were
perhaps justified by the wording of the document
The ann of the Committee had been to emphasize
the utterance, would be congenial to our people,
Mr. Green would like to know what are the cog
nate races referred TO in the reply.
MIR. Gibson said he would take the liberty to re-
ply. They did not recognize the Portuguese as
cognate race to the Hawaiians, and other Euro
peans who are valuable additions to our pOpula
ton are not cognate races They recognized the
South Sea Islanders as cognate of the Hawaiians.
having an 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-
ation they should not be looking to Europe when
eognate races can be found in this ocean, the In
dian Ocean and in Asia. That was briefly the view
