the attacks Of that scour9c,
Mr.. Iscnbcrg did not believe ~
treating anybody free of charge u
one has to pay for attendance he
will appreciate dose of medicine
The practice followed for many
years Of giving medicine for nothing
was bad one, and he had never
seen much good from the Govern
mcnt physicians, lie had no
objection to Government physicians
getting subsidies to keep them In the
place, but all the good they did the
native race was next TO nothing.
The people come and get dose OF
medicine. and then you do not see
them again for II month or two, and
then they are dead They tell the
people 10 come to their olliccs-thcy
do not 20 from house to house to
see where the misery is. They paid
doctor in Lihuc Si00 year, and
if he (thc spcaker) wanted him to
90 long distance he always shirked.
After further remarks by MIR.
Bishop, the question was put, and
Mr.. Smiths amendment to give gra-
tuitous service to Hawaiians, and
Mr.. Rowell's to increase the item to
S55, 900, were both carried.
The Committee took recess from

After recess the appropriations for
the Health Department were resumed.
Minister Gibson said on the sub
iect of building and maintenance of
hospitals that he had learned through
Bishop Hermann that there was every
probability of eight more Sisters Of
Charity to arrive. Shout d the
Government erect hospitals on Kauai
and Hawaii similar to the one at
Waiuku they would require an in
creased appropriation. He would,
therefore, move to pass the item at
100000.
Mr.. W. o. Smith was not in favor
of increasing the amount.

for the biennial period for Consul

Messrs. Hitchcock and w. o,

Messrs. Kaulukou, Bishop and j.
Mott Smith opposed it.
Minister Gibson stated that oul
Consul at San Francisco was render.
ing material service to the Govern
ment. He did not confine himself
strictly to his consular duties, but
was engaged in various ways outside
of his official duties to promote in
fluences favorable to the Govern
ment and country. 1t would be ;
pity if by our action he should bt
confined solely to his Consular duties
He had been of great service in times
of trial and effort on the part of the
Government, and he should now
reap all the advantage which his faith
full service had so largely helped tC
promote, and he hoped that the item
would be rejected.
Hon. j. Mott. Smith said this whole
matter of compensation of Consul'
was within the control of the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs and hac
better not be interfered with by the
Assembly.
On motion the item was rejected
