the statements of Indebtedness were
partly accounted for by bills that
came in after the close of the period,
and partly by bills that should not
he paid at all. He hoped the house
would vote this small sum, for if no
visitor came the money
would not be spent.
Rep. Kauhane thought it would
not look we'll to have to borrow
money to entertain people, simply
to make an impression.
Rep. Kauhi was in favor of
$4,000.
Rep. Kaulukou withdrew his
motion.
Passed at $4,000.
Expenses of Foreign Agents.. $4,000
Rep. Brown said this was an in
crease over last period, when there
was balance left, and he wondered
if they could not get along with
$4,000.
Minister Gibson replied that His
Majesty had been pleased to appoint
some Consuls-General and Charges
des-Affaires, in Spain and the Ne
therlands for instance. 1t was only
right that those officials, some of
whom had done great service, should
he paid something for expenses.
The only consul hitherto paid
salary was Manly Hopkins in Lon
don.
Passed.
Incidentals, Foreign Office. $1,000
($4,OOO in revised estimates.)
Rep. Thurston said the amount
last period was only $4,000, and, as
special appropriations had been
made for services hitherto coming
out of incidentals, the amount should
be less.
Minister Creighton moved the
item pass as in the revised estimates,
and indicated number of neces-
sary additions to the equipments of
the office.
Passed ut 81 900.
Education of Hawaiian Youths. S25.00O
Rep. Kaulukou moved $50, 900.
Rep, Thurston called for the
movers reasons for an increase.
Rep. Kaulukou said the $4,000
was all required for those youths
now being educated abroad. Per-
haps the Government might desire
TO send others away.
Rep. Wight asked what the two
youths at Toxic, Japan, were being
educated in.
Minister Gibson replied TO the
effect that the youths were being
educated in the course preparatory
to the higher education patronized
by the Japanese Government. The
Government regarded it desirable to
send youths to different countries,
so that the ways and languages of
such could he mastered by different
youths.
Minister Creighton made a state
ment, showing that, when present
obligations and the periods require
ments were met, there would be
margin in the S25,000 of a little
over $4,000 for fresh details of
youths, which made the item small
enough.
Rep. Brown was in favor of voting
a sum of money for the education of
Hawaiian youths abroad, but was
against the increase of S. 900 pro-
posed by the hon. member for Hilo.
He was little surprised at the
Government party supporting this
item, when they had just refused to
take law off the statute books pro-
hibiting Hawaiians from leaving the
kingdom without the Governors
permission. These youths when
educated might decline to come
come home for fear they would
never be allowed to go abroad
again.
Rep. Kalua said it was necessary
to vote some money, but there had
been a good deal of mismanagement.
One youth had been sent TO China
} to learn the Chinese language but
he came back regular vagabond,
getting into the Police Station fol-
drunkenness and finally passing out
, of sight altogether. Another had
tried to pass himself off in Italy as
son of King Kalakaua. Ther
was one in Italy, who was reported
as being about to marry an Italiar
. woman, and when he returned pos
sibly that was all he would have Il
! show for the expenditure on him
while there might be progeny com
posed of American, Hawaiian an(
Italian blood added to the population
He favored having the youths to b'
educated abroad selected from tn,
|, best pupils in the schools at home
: He moved the item be referred tt
the Committee on Education.
; Rep. Kaunamano was in favor o
passing the item as in the bill.
Rep. Castle said it was not th
u harm, but the house should kno,
what was the good accomplished
He was in favor of liberal appro
. priation for educational purposes
and also for the nominal purpose @
5 this item. But he questioned tn
: value of having youths instructed j
. the wearing of military clothes, @
. of directing military or naval ope
