ORDER OF THE DAY.
On motion of Rep. Richardson,

the whole on the Appropriation Bill,
Rep. Kaunamano h the chair.
Interior Department-Continued.
Noble Cleghorn moved TO insert
So, 900 for Thomas Square, and re-
marked on the historical interest
attaching to that spot.
Rep. Dole supported the motion,
saying the item should have been
inserted by the Minister. But for the
event from which that square took
its name, they should all have been
Englishmen. The few places of his
torical interest should he carefully
kept as patriotic duty.
The item passed.
Noble Cleghorn moved TO insert
500 for Emma Square. Carried.
Rep. Dickey moved to insert 500
for Palace Yard, commenting on the
poor condition Of the royal groun Is.
Rep. Kalua agreed that something
should be done, but suggested that
it would come in better along with
the item below, "Repairs and furni-
ture, Iolani Palace, $40, 0,000," which
could be increased for the purpose
mentioned. He contrasted the palace
grounds with public grounds he had
seen at Monterey and elsewhere in
California.
Rep. Dickey accepted the sugges-
ton and withdrew his motion.

| Immigrants. ........ O,oOO

Incidentals of Bureau. ........ 5000
Rep. Dickey moved the item be
$4,000. If the japanese Govern,
ment required an inspector here LEI
it pay for him itself.
Minister Gulick said the oilicia
was employed in the interest of the
Hawaiian Government, received his
orders from it, reported to it, ano
acted in every respect as its servant
Rep. Dickey said it was an oflicia
that this country did not need.
Minister Gibson said it was true
there were more Portuguese than
japanese IN the country, but when
the Portuguese Government per-
mitted its people to come here they
desired nothing but that they SHOULD
have the protection of the laws o
this kingdom. With the Japanes
Government, however, this was al
, entirely new thing, with the excep
ton of a slight experiment in thi
/ country a few years ago. Tha
, Government therefore said on thi
y occasion, "We cannot let our peopl

that you will protect them 1t wa
r desirable that the inspector of Japa
g nese immigrants should he thei
o countryman, familiar with their way
f and able to interpret for them. Th
e incumbent was a man of intelligenc
: and education, who had travelled j

n Rep. Dickey asked why he shoul
: be paid regulay salary, when til
1 nspector-General could hire CON

$ thought 81, 900 ample, and change
: his amendment to $4,000.
o Rep. Dole asked if this Japanes
G Inspector was Hawaiian citizen.
Minister Gulick said that so fs
Il as he knew he was not.
: Rep. Dole said it was an import

IF same salary as the Inspector-Ge1
