luton that $1,000 be appropriated

ances for handling freight expedi-
tiously, at Pelekunu, Molokai.

turned to the member to be written
on appropriate paper.
A resolution by Rep. Castle being

ORDER OF THE DAY.
On motion of Rep. Keau the
order of the day was taken up.

spirituous liquors on plantations.
1t authorizes licenses to be granted
to other than plantation managers
for distilling liquor, and provides
for a return of the quantity manu-
factured by licensees.
Rep. Brown gave notice Of bill

ruptcy.
Rep. Kauai presented resolution

mea. Referred to Lands and I'm
provements Committee.
Rep. PaJohau gave notice of bill
to amend sec. So, chap. 43, laws of
1882.
Rep. Kalua presented resolution
to the following effect: Whereas it
appears that large numbers of Chi
nese are continually coming into this
country, and whereas certain regula-
tions were published restricting the
coming in of Chinese, and certain
rules were published by His Excel
lency the Minister of Foreign Affairs
that no more than 20 Chinese would
be permitted to come by single
vessel; therefore resolved, that the
Minister of Foreign Affairs be re-
quested to report to this house in
writing if the said restrictions have
been carried out since those regula-
tions were published, and to state
whether any more than the number
allowed by the regulations, have
been permitted to enter. He said
that long before the representatives
in this Assembly were elected
certain regulations were publish
ed stating that no more than
certain number of Chinese were
to be permitted. The public seeing
that notice were generally much
pleased with it, considering it a
measure that would check large
number of Chinese from coming
into the country. But while the
notice still appeared in the news
papers it was observed that large
numbers of Chinese were permitted
to come in. Nearly every vessel
that entered took large numbers OF
them-very much in excess of the
number stated to be allowed. The
last steamer brought large num-
Der, and smallpox with them, YET
they were allowed to land. For.
tunately they were segregated ant
the disease did not spread. This
resolution simply meant to inquire
whether the regulation of the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs had beer
carried out and the restrictions en-
forced.
Rep. Kaulukou was very mucl
in favor of the resolution, but if it.
wording was strictly followed wha
the member was trying to obtail
would not be accomplished. If i
asked whether any more than tn
regulation allowed were permitted
to enter then the Minister woul'
have something to answer. 1t wa
not the people of the country VIII
wanted Chinese: it was the planta
ton owners who would flood tn
country with them. One thing abou
the Chinese, however, was that the
never attempted to meddle wit
politics like some other national
! ties. He could not support tn
resolution.
Rep. Aholo was in favor of tn
resolution, except that part whic
, asked for report in writing.
, Rep. Thurston believed that tn
member for Hilo (Kaulukou) wa
correct, that the resolution woul
= not accomplish its object. II
