report:
Hon. j. s. WALKER, President
Legislative Assembly-SrR: Your
committee, to whom was referred
the resolution presented by Hon. j..
w. Kalua, asking for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for Hon. A. Fornan-
der, in consideration for his book,
having considered the matter beg to
report as follows: The work of
which Mr.. Fernandez is the author,
and which he has published, to wit,
"The Polynesian Race" is work
to which he has devoted many years
of careful study and research, and
which has been highly commended
by competent critics at home and
abroad. 1t is the most learned work
ever written here and is credit to
the author. to his adopted country
and to the Hawaiian people.
Being philosophical and scienti,
tic work, and not what is usually
called a popular book, it will be
purchased by comparatively few
people, so that it cannot be. pecun'
iarily profitable to the author, but
has cost more than he will receive
from sales for many years to come,
For the reasons above stated, the
committee recommend to the Assem-
bly, to appropriate $4,000 in aid OF
Hon. A. Fernandez towards expenses
for his book.

THE NATIONAL LOAN BILL.
Minister Gibson moved section !
pass, with the amendment made on
Friday.
Rep. Dickey moved that the
amount be inserted $500, 900, in
stead of S2,O0O,OOO. This would
pay up the bonds due and falling
due.
Rep. Kaulukou moved the section

Rep. Thurston said he had al
ready spoken on the subject. Il
the bill was to pass he hoped thu
bonds would be fixed as.low as 500
Rep. Kaulukou withdrew his mo
ton.
The amendment making the demo
mination of bonds at 500 insteat
of $500 was then put and carried.
Rep. Kalua moved the section
pass as amended.
Minister Creighton moved tina
the section be amended so that TIT
loan be fixed at 81, 100000. TIL,
Government had asked for the fol
lowing items: immigration, $3.50,
600; Water Works, 5000, 900; sew
erage, 100000; street improve
ments, 500, 900; Honolulu harbor
$50, 900; bonds due and fallin!
due, $267,900. Total, 81, lG7, 900
Since then immigration had beef
proposed at S250,000, which wa
100000 less. The improvement
ON the Water Works were to cos
10000, an item of which he ap
proved. The city had been sewer
aged by the late fire. So by tal1in,
off $500, 900, 1t would leave $767,
900. The Government, like bust
ness men, borrows more money tina
is required. Thus 81 100000 woul
be sufficient, and there would b
$232, 100 more than the estimate
called for. Besides that, there wa
the Hawaiian Postal Savings Bank
which would bring in 100000
year, and the Japanese fund woul
also bring in large amount. If
was shown the loan was wanted, an
it was to be judiciously used, til
Government could get all the none
that was wanted. Since the fir
