Mr.. BAILEY said he had been verv

anu III Ulc tNculllg WOulu come 10
him with their fancy ailments. He
dosod them, and the next morning
they appear at work all right. As
irrigators they could not be beaten,
and they were steady and honest.
Leave them alone and they work
just the same as if watched. They
are little obstinate in being moved
from one work to another.
Mn. LIDGATE said he did not want
any of them. His brother had
fifteen, and on q plantation close by
there were seventy, and there was
not any satisfaction from them. On
one plantation he knew they were
put to the same work as the women
and children, not being fit for any
thing else. No more japanese were
required in his neighborhood.
Mr.. SMITH said he had got along
very well with his japanese. There
was less trouble on plantations
where they work in small numbers.
The President stated that his ex-
perience with the japanese was
varied.
Mr.. BAILEY said he had had
visit from Inspectors, but he did
not consider they had anything to
do with his regulations.
Mr.. BALDWIN thought that Por-
tuguese immigration should be en-
Outraged.
MIR. LIDGATE had four different
lots of Chinese planting on shares,
and found it remunerative.
Mr.. THURsToN, speaking of ia
panese, thought the trouble was
largely in the different sets of men
employed. While on Maui, the
past week, he had conversation
with Captain Clark of Kipdhulu.
The latter stated that out of sixteen
japanese on his plantation ten were
professional wrestlers. They gave
performances and collected money.
One of the number was an ex-bank
cashier, q defaultcr, who had to
leave his country. He could do
nothing with him; he would not
work. Mr.. Thurston also met Mr..
Kennedy of Waiakea, who said that
he had never had better men than
the Japanese. Mr.. r. w. Irwin,
the Japanese Agent, had not exer-
cised care in his selection of the
men.
Mr.. BAILEY did not like the way
the immigrants were selected.
Among his Portuguese he had one
with a broken leg, another hunch-
back, an idiot, and one very old
man. They were no good. The
men had been sent simply to fill up
the ships. Every planter on his
contract ought to specify the kind
of men wanted, accept them and
none others.
MIR. HoRNER said the matter of
selecting was one of great import
ance. Among his men he had two
with chronic diseases. That was
not the kind wanted. Orders should
be given for the class of men wanted.
His brother at Kukuihaele had
twenty Japanese who were I'M
equalled at feeding the fumes.
There were four or five gamblers
among them. After they had been
in the Islands few weeks they sent
money home to Japan. This was a
matter of surprise, but not so when
it was learned they spent their even
ings in gambling.
(The report of the foregoing dis
cussion is from the .4duertiser.)
The Convention adjourned till 10
O'Clock on Monday.
\ MONDAY, Oct. 18th.
MORNING SESSION.
The Planters Company met ut
10 o'clock. Mr.. b. f. Dillingham;,
in the absence of the Secretary,
read the minutes of last meeting.
The list of trustees was corrected to
read r. Halstead instead of w. r.
Halstead. 1t was also explained
that in the first finding of the tellers
the name of Mr.. p. c. Jones was out.
Mr.. Jones, controlling about 5000
voters, had omitted his own name,
but upon being demonstrated with
for dropping himself consented to
change his vote, thus effecting his
election as trustee. The correct
list of trustees is as follows:-
S. B. Dole, ii. p. Baldwin, w. f.
Rowell, G. N. Wilcox, r.. Halstead,
II. f. Glade, r. A. Macfie, p, C.
Jones, j. b. Anterior, l.. A. Thurs
ton, w. Y. Horner, j. M. Homer,
w. r. Castle.
Mr.. Macfie, after the minutes had
been accepted, rose and thanked
the Convention for the honor of
electing him a trustee, but asked
the favor of allowing him to decline
the position.
The PRESIDENT said Mr.. Macfe's
selection was generally regarded as
a happy one, and hoped he would
consent to remain on the Board.
