ORDER OF THE DAY.
On motion of Rep. Brown the
house took up the order of the day,
the house going into committee of
the whole on the Appropriation Bill,
Noble Cleghorn in the chair
The item for Board of Immigra-
ton expenses, S16,200, under con-
sderaton when the committee rose,
was read.
Minister Gibson moved to make it
Sl5, 900, according to the revised
estimates.
Rep. Brown moved to make it
$40, 600. BY the report of the Min
lister of Interior he saw that 50, $40
had been paid as bonus to II. W..
Irwin on two lots of japanese. That
money might as well have been
thrown over the wharves into the
bay. He thought they had better
cut down all round on this japanese
immigration. Out of the eXpendi-
ture the japanese Commissioners
received $3.50 n month, and 5000
for extra expenses during two
months, also 1858 for travelling ex-
penses. 1t had also been stated
that he was not Hawaiian subject.
He believed there was n statute in
force now that nobody could draw
any pay from this Government with
out being Hawaiian subject.
Rep. Richardson moved that the
different items making up this one
, be considered separately.

e him there was big nigger in the
: fence. This japanese business al
/. through had some remarkable en-
+, tries. The sum of S60,Gl3 was
: paid to the man who went to Japar
on this business, "per account rend
t cred and on file." He dld not SCI
y why there should be any middle
e man between the japanese and th'
c planters to reap a harvest. Mr.. r
d w. Irwin was said to be a compe

be capable of bringing Japanes
IS here. He was told this commits

y immigrants he brought. That wa

J. sages out of that. w. G.. Irwin 4
e Co. made SO, ,S69.77 out of the bust
e ness. He should like TO know wha
It that firm had done more than he ha
d done to receive this bonus. Tha
+ was not all, for the firm had receiv

so Rep. Keau wanted to know VIII;
a. the item was to be expended for.
e. Minister Gibson said he was n,

We tion and was sorry he was not ther

consideration for the promotion
on immigration, or for the purpose
on bringing in japanese. Should th'
