There being no reports from committees nor any
resolutions 10 be presented procedure was had at
once to the order Of the day, that being the dis
cussion on the resolution of want of confidence"
introduced by Representative Dole.
The Attorney General drew the attention of the
Assembly to the probability of the subject being
one that would excite prolonged discussion, 50
he desired that permission be gwen to have action
taken on the bill to appropriate $500 to settle the
postal accounts between the United States and
Hawaii.
The bill was accordingly taken up, read third
time and passed.
Attention was now given to the discussion on
the resolution, Representative Dole being the first
speaker, as follows;
Some of the members have expressed a wish to
hear the grounds on which the resolution was
brought forward. The report of the Committee
Of Finance has been pretty we'll discussed so
shall refer to other matters. The Department of
Foreign Affairs. from which we have full report,
has business of the most important character, and
we find several matters have been most improperly
dealt with. DEring the last biennial period nego-
tiatiOns were going on for treaty between France
and this country by the aid of Hon. IL. A. p. Car
ter In consequence of representations made
l,rTF rf,f to
Commissioner here, such letters were sent from
here that these negotiations were suddenly broken
off, The expenses which bad already been in-
Cured and the probable benefits which might have
come from the treaty have been lost.
During the period Mr.. Kapena was sent TO Japan
for immigration PURPOSES but really to invite some
japanese official to attend the coronation. No
negotiations for immigratiOns for immigration
have TRANSFERRED from that expedition but few
sub officials were induced to attend the coronation.
This trip cost the country 81, 4l2 80. Col Iaukea
was afterwards sent to Russia TO attend the coro-
nation of the Gar, and then to represent this
country round the world His business in Japan
was / believe beneficial, but the whole trip cost
1910 which is nearly as much as 1t cost His
Majesty to go round the world A visit to Japan
might have been made under $1,000. This pic
nicking excursion round the world, with the ex-
eeption of Japan, was very expensive resulted in
absolutely nothing. The Polynesian excursion of
Capt. Trip, which no one has yet been able to
to discover the necessity for, cost $2,093.l9. 1t
ended in disaster and disgrace.
Then comes the famous Protest from the Foreign
Office which has been the laughing stock of the
world. No one can prevent this little government
issuing protests, n cat may look at a King; but
while the administration has spent so much money
in the matter of fuss and feathers 1t has neglected
the internal affairs of tie country. In the Board
of Health and Finance Reports, we find matters
at kalawao are III disgraceful state At the last
session $4,000 was appropriated for the supply of
water for these suffering people at kalawao, the
attention to which has been utterly neglected. Do
not find that the President of the Board of Health
has visited the settlement even once. We find
from the report that the settlement is not provided
with doctor. tlnd that there are other diseases
besides leprosy which are killing the people of.
Find that The unfortunate people in their last mo-
ments have been neglected and unattended being
left for days at time before death finally ended
their sutferlngs. Find that these people are taken
and dumped on the shores of Molokai and left to
themselves and treated if they brute beasts.
And these are friends and acquaintance of ours,
some ex-members Of this Assembly In one of
these reports Tin the report of the Pres of the Il.
of H. the doctor making it refers to case which
he calls murder. Yet the Board of Health had
funds enough to carry out these matters at the
settlement properly. There Is the Madras case,
where through the ignorance of man theEacting
as Attorney General 1.-THE present Minister of For
eign Affairs the country lost $3l 200 The Eng
lish Government has made claim against this
Government, making the vessels claim its own.
Our own courts have declared the action of the
Board of Health, IN this Connection unauthorized.
The illegal coinage of 81 COS, coo, from which Mr..
Spreckels pockets profits amounting to $4,000.
In carrying out this matter the Minister of Finance
attempts 10 issue bonds payable IN gold for this
DECEASED money but was prevented by the ruling Of
the Supreme Court In the Minister'S answer to
the mandamus case, he says Il was about to do
SO; in the injunction case a week later he states
that he .did not intend TO do The Minister
may say that the answers were only matter Of
form, yet they we're both sworn to, and both can
not be true. Even after all this, what next does
be do? he waits until after the close Of the ben-
NAL period and then issues $4,000 Of Hawaiian
| bonds, for that very silverl Gives the bonds to
-AIr. Lowe, partner of Sprockels. The Govern
ment has borrowed money of Charles 7. Gnlick
the present Minister of Inferior when he was not
a Minister and paid y per cent interest for the
/ loan. These chRrges arc some Of the most prom.
inent ones and are only thus briefly touched upon
so as to give opportunity for other members h
