dent Of the Board Of Health, presented the
printed instructions of the Board of Health,

Hon. S. G. Wilder said. the resolution call
ing for the production of these instructions was
not answered so fully as he expected. This
printed statement did not throw any more light
on the matter as far as native Hawaiians were
concerned. 1t is not clear enough.

he he had recently got out some new instruc-
tions, which he would be glad to refer TO the

the superintendent of the leper settlement at

to whether Government physicians had been
recently instructed where to specially obtain
their drugs. The report says, that the Gov

tilted by circulat to get their drugs from Hol-
lister & Co., but a later circular requested them
TO get them thorough the Secretary of the
Board of Health.
Representative Smith said he had been
informed that the President of the Board
of Health had given direct orders to the
Government physicians to make purchases
at one drug store only. He considered
the action of the President as deserving
condemnation. Had it not been for this
resolution the order would not have been
countermanded, He wished to denounce
the action of the President of the Board
Of Health with all the force he was capa-
bic Of He believed the order to purchase
medicines of Hollister Il Co. was given
because Messrs. Benson, Smith q Co had
signed the petition to the King for the
removal of the Ministers, while Hollister
e. Co. had not

The Currency bill came up on third
reading and finally passed
The Oceanic Steamship Company Sub
sidy Bill coming up for third reading,
Representative Dole claimed that the com
pany did not even need this money. and
that it had ruined the business of the
country. He said he had characterized il
the other day as piece of jobbery, and it
only showed what an immense influence
the Oceanic Steamship Company had over
our Ministry and our Ministers. II we
are not to vote on any such measure on its
merits, we might Just as well be flocked
together and driven any way wanted. He
wanted this question investigated anew.
1t would not stand investigation and ought
to be defeated.
Hon. c. r. Bishop had heard the story
that part of this money was to be used
to prevent the old line from carrying
freight and passengers. He judged from
the vote of the other day that the House
was disposed to give subsidy, but now
he thought the subsidy was unnecessarily
large. 1t was often necessary in new
enterprise to give it government protection,
but he thought that aid was unnecessary
in this case. He alluded to the superiority
of the vessels and their officers, but be-
heved if the gentlemen who owned them
were members they would occupy the same
position respecting a subsidy that he did.
He was in favor of using the moneys for
some enterprise that would benefit the
country. the cultivation of the ramie plant.
for instance. He concluded by moving to
reduce the amount from So, 900 to S4S. 600.
