After some discussion relative to the merits of
the physicians at Hilo and Lahaina, the Presi-
dent forwarded the business of the House by de-
claring discussion out of order, and put motion
previously made that the report be laid on the
table for consideration with the Appropriation
Bill. Carried
Representative Kaulukou moved that the report
be laid on the table to be considered with the APP
preparation Bill. Remarks made by the member
IN connection with his motion caused discussion
to ensue which the President finally ended by
saying that motion to lay Oh the table could not
be discussed.
Representative Aholo agreed with the President
that the motion ought not to be discussed. But he
considered that the President was to blame for
allowing discussion to go on.
This charge the President admitted.
Representative Aholo then said that as the Pres
1dent had allowed others to speak on this motion,
he hoped he might be allowed to say few words
With regard to remark relative to DIR. Kuehn of
Lahaina, he would say that, short time ago
boy fell from tree and the native pronounced
him dead. DIR. Kuehn told them he was alright
and would come to in few minutes, and would
not give him any medicine. This caused great
deal of Indignation. The boy was carried home
and put on a bed and kdhH,Id sent for, but be-
fore he arrived the boy got up. After that the
natives looked upon DIR. Kuehn as very skillful
doctor, and one that could cure without medicine
(Laughter.)
The motion to lay the report upon the table was
then put and was carried.
Representative Thurston offered a resolution
that the Minister of the Interior be instructed to
0fTFTTQ fhn 10 rNf
kalau Plantation district of Hilo, Hawaii adyer-
tsed to take place on Thursday at noon in front
of Aliiolani Hale. In support of his resolution
he said that he wanted to put stop to the prac-
tlce OF letting out Government lands on long
lease. The land ought to be retained for the pur-
pose of the Homestead Act. The Government
should not lock up valuable suitable land from
settlement under twenty years lease.
Representative Kauhane did not approve OF the
resolution, as he did not hearthere were any Ha-
waiians who wanted to settle on this land
Representative Castle thought that Rep. Kau-
hane was Eat sea" in the matter. Several pet1-
tons had come in from people asking that the
Government lands adjoining their lots be sold
them. Then they were large numbers of Portu-
guese with money ready to buy land. There
could be no doubt that it would be better for the
country to have the public land tahen up by set
TIERS than by those who wanted them for large
cattle runs and plantations.
Representative kaulukou moved as an amend |
ment 20 the resolution, "that the said land be
divided up into homesteads according to the pro-
visions of an Act passed in 1884," Rep. Thurston
accepted the amendment
The Attorney General Dare said that the !
position taken by the member from MoIokni |

would support 1t himself if there were any law on
the statute books that public lands should on the
expiration of leases, revert to the Government |
but owing to a breach of the conditions the At |
torney-General and the Minister of Interior had |
decided to reenter on the land, and, so as to settle

Representative Dickey desired to know if there
would be new lease.
The Attorney General answered in the affirma
tive and then went on to say that, protest
against the sale was filed by a LAWYER, member
of this House. Finding he had no legal grounds.
and the Minister of the Interior and the Attorney
General we're right, he waited until the eleventh
hour and then brought III this resolution to aslx
the House to stop this sale If the Assembly
adopts the resolution, 1t will simply be an express
sion OF an opinion that this land should be re-
served for settlers. These gentlemen ought TO
have attended to this at an earlier date
Representative Thurston said that he was sur
prised at the position taken by the Attorney-(Ie
eral, and to set matters IN their proper shape he
would say that, two parties desired to obtain this
land, one the Hakalau Sugar Co., of which Nessrs
L. IL. Davies d. Co. were the agents. were repre-
sented by Rep. Dole in the courts, and the other |
the Hawaiian Commercial Co, or more PROPERLY
Mr.. Claus Spreckels, who was represented by the
This was the true situation
(Laughter.) If the Attorney General has GOT a
Spreckels collar around his neck let him come ont
and say SO and not endeayor by subterfuge to cast
gnomlny on the efforts of those who were acting
for the best interests of the country The Attor
ney-General had suggested that bill be brouoht
in ordering the canceling of the lease after the pro-
posed sale, but, he should have known that no Leo
slat1ve resolution could annul contract nnade nv
The Government in that manner

Representative Thurston said he vas ,,;IIin,, .,

The Attorney-General said that Rem Dole had
uttered the protest and that Rem. Thurston had
brought in the resolution.
Representative Ihurston said that the Attorney ,

The Attorney-General stated that he had | \
