authorize the Minister of Interior to con-
vey to trustees, a lot of land on which to
erect building for the accommodation OF
INDECENT foreigners
Rep. c. Brown was opposed to every
grant of this kind 1t is bad policy. Such
applications, if once entertained, will be
repeated without end. The bill, besides, is
loosely drawn. 1t specifies nothing as to
quantity or location of land asked for. He
moved the bill be indefinitely postponed.
Noble Hitchcock wanted to know if part
of the hospital tax will be applied for the
maintenance Of the proposed institution or
will another hospital tax be imposed for its
support. We have one hospital drawing
moneys from the treasury. This one, If
started, will probably be here at subse-
quent sessions asking for money appro-
priations. He thought the doors of the
Queens Hospital might be opened to the
public, and with little squeezing he had
no doubt they might be SO opened.
Noble Dole said this is not intended for a
hospital. 1t is to be for the benefit of
poor and INDECENT foreigners, not having
means to support themselves, many of
whom are wards of charitable societies. 1t
is proposed to provide such persons with a
place to sleep and perhaps to get their
meals.
Noble Hitchcock said he had mistaken
the intent OF the bill on hearing it read.
Noble Smith moved it be&eferred to the
Committee on Public Lands, etc. He did
not concur in the opinion of the honorable
member for Koolauloa that no grants
should be male to charitable institu-
tons. The House has as much right
to appropriate for an institution of
the kind under consideration as for the In
sane Asylum or the Queens Hospital He
objected, however, to the indefiniteness of
the bill 1t is equivalent, as it reads, to an
item in the Appropriation bill that would
be worded, "to authorize the Government
to apply money"
The motion to indefinitely postpone was
put and lost, Is to 16, and the bill referred
to the Committee on Public Lands, etc.
The House adjourned at IL :43 to 10
O'Clock Friday morning.

stricted to certain cities, and this concession
was only granted because the Chinese
Government was forced to it by the guns
OF more powerful nations. But If for
eigner even ventures so much as TO travel
in the byways of that empire-to say
nothing of taking up his residence at dis
lance from any of the localities assigned as
places where foreigners may llve-he runs
the risk of being stoned and maltreated
and even of being killed. A Chinaman in
China hates and despises all foreigners.
The common appellation among all ranks
for every one who is not Chinaman is
" Foreign Devil" He belongs to a pro-
scribed race. When the Chinese Govern
ment will pass laws guaranteeing to for
eigners everywhere in the empire the same
rights that their own citizens enjoy, then;
and not till then, may the Chinese in this
country come to US with good grace and
present memorials like the one presented
to this House the other day. What do you
suppose would be the result if perchance
colony of white men who had settled In
some part of China remote from a treaty
port, should present to the Government
memorial similar to this which the Chinese
residents of Honolulu have sent to this
House | am afraid it would meet with
contempt and scorn, and the memorialists
would not find their situation improved in
the slightest degree. As this amendment
now reads it affords to all Chinese, rights
and immunitles which the Chinese them
selves would never dream of granting to
foreigners in China, and to large class OF
Chinese residents here it comedies every
thing which the natives OF the country
enjoy except the right of suffrage.
Rep. Nawahine had been against the
amendments to the Constitution all along

to change his views to support this one.

REPORT OF SELECT COMMITTEE
On the e15,OOO, Loan Account-Pre-
scented to the Legislature, September
., 1888.

Hon. W. R. Castle, President OF the
Legislature; The Select Committee ap-
pointed to confer with the Cabinet IN re-
gard to what steps should be taken in the
matter of the fl5, 900 illegally retained in
London out of the proceeds of the 100000
loan, and the amount of f704 interest I'M
accounted for, beg leave to report:
That we have conferred with the Minister
of Finance upon the subject and have ex-
amined all the correspondence and records
relating to the matters referred to us, and
have carefully considered the same.
To present the facts of the case we sub
NIT herewith, as part of our report, state
ment prepared by the Minister of Finance,
at our request, This statement covers the
main facts as appear from the correspon-
dence on file.
The action of the agents of the Hawaiian
Government at London, who had to do
with the loan and matters incidental there
to, appears to the Committee to be deserv-
ing of unqualified condemnation. One
serious difficulty encountered in seeking to
ascertain the facts, is the evasive state
ments and indefinite accounts rendered by
those agents.
From a critical examination of the cor
respondence and the accounts rendered, we
cannot refrain from the conclusion that
there has been intentional concealment on
the part of those who have been represent
ing this Government in London.
We believe we are safe in saying that no
business house would submit to be treated
by its agents as the Hawaiian Government
has been treated by these agents. And we
are of opinion that it is humiliating to this
Government to longer continue relations
with these so-Called agents.
After all the investigations made and the
nj tipn nht ainpn We fool If dntV IN
recommend that the Cabinet at once with
draw all business heretofore placed in the
hands of H. R. Armstrong, and revoke all
and every authority heretofore vested IN
him by the Hawaiian Government
We believe also that the conduct of
Matheson & Co., as shown by their own
correspondence, is unbusiness-like and
reprehensible. And we recommend that
if legal and practicable, their authority 10
represent the Hawaiian Government in any
matter relating to the bonds be revoked.
1t is humiliating to contemplate the
treatment which this Government has re-
ceived at the hands of its agents III the
matter of the loan.
And we feel that suits should be entered
against the parties responsible for the
wrongs perpetrated upon this Government,
but as the Government is not yet in pos
session OF all the information which is de-
sired we do not recommend such suits at
present.
Respectfully submitted,

mittees of which they were members.
He supposed the memo. they had left was
complete and that all vacancies were filled
at the time.
Rep c. Brown said he thought the diHi,,
Guilty between the Auditor-General and
the Ministers was merely difference OF
opinion as to whether certain moneys for
which orders were drawn were charged to
the right appropriation. He favored the
course proposed by Noble Smith, to refer
the Audit Act to a commission.
At 11:3O the House adjourned to 10

REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF FINANCE.

REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF FINANCE.
To the Committee appointed by the Legis-
lature to inquire into the matter of the
&15,OOO illegally paid in London bv H.
K. Armstrong, ESQ.,, Hawaiian Consul
General and the Financial Agent of the
Hawaiian Government; and also re-
speeding the sum of f704 IS. 3D. interest
accruing to the Government on loan
money held by Matheson & Co.
The history of the Els, 900 up to Nov. Sth
last is fully detailed in my report to the
Legislature of that date, and in Col. G. w.
Macfarlane's statement dated November,
1887, which accompanied my report.
The main points to which | will call at
tention are that in the correspondence with
Mr. Armstrongno mention is made of any
such sum as $4,000, although on Dec.
Both, 1885, he advised the Hon. Paul P.
Kanoa that the proportion OF expenses had
been paid by him without, however, men
tioning any sum; the first intimation that
Government had of f15,000 having been
paid was an unsigned memorandum dated
Honolulu, July 8, 1887, received from
Messrs. g. w. Macfarlane & Co.. IN which
the f196,000 received for the loan is as
sumed to be accounted for, and the f15,000
charged.
In the same way no direct account of the
f704 IS. Cd. was ever transmitted to this
Government by Mr.. Armstrong, but the
amount appeared for the first time
through Messrs. q. W. Macfarlane & Co.'s
statement.
On Nov. %, 1887, wrote Messrs. Math-
son & Co. in regard to this &704 IS. Sd. in
terest money. This letter was answered
on Dec. 81, 1887 by Matheson & Co., but
no notice taken of the f7O4 IS. 3D.; and
although l received another letter from
them dated Feb. IL, 1888, together with an
account of transactions up to that date as

road. They opened restaurant in the
above-named place, had plenty of money
and did good business. They sold out
aheir restaurant two months ago, went
but prospecting, discovered a ledge and
worked upon it as miners with pick and
shovel, but how much it paid we do not
know. They purchased rife and went
hunting on snow-shoes last winter, would
tackle bears and kill deers for winter
sport. They can run ross'cut saw,
pick and shovel equal to the most robust
miner, or skim over or down the noun

The Despised Blackberry.

The blackberry is held in high esteem
for table use and Tor preserves, but the
people OF this section fail to utilize fully
q bounty which is but half appreciated.
North Carolina makes annually more than
a million of dollars net from the black
berry by sun drying them. They are in
great request, and markets are already
opened up. It is believed that it would
be necessary in this section to dry them
by the use of evaporators, yet it would
pay even to 60 to the expense of buying
evaporators, and drying the berries on u
large scale. 1t would afford remunera-
tive employment to hundreds of women
and children. But there is no immediate
prospect of such enterprise, and in the
meantime hundreds of bushels of berries
dry up on the bushes in this section, or
90 to feed the birds and animals which
feast on them. One of the best uses to
which the blackberry can be put is the
manufacture of cordial. The decoction
has medical properties of the highest or
der as corrective and mild astringent,
and every household should be provided
with supply. The recipe, which has
been used in this city with the most sig
nal success, is as follows: Boil the berries
until thoroughly done and strain them:
To two quarts of juice add one pound OF
light brown sugar, and put in one table.

who is said to Le one of the cleverest
teeth extractors in England. She is
a tall. powerful, and well built woman,
exceedingly lady-like and agreeable in
msnner, but, at the same time, both firm
and gentle with her patients. She pos
sesses a wrist of iron, and the clever
manner in which she extracts refractory
teeth has caused her name to be pro-
claimed far and wide as an exception

waiting rooms are crowded every day
with swells, male and female, and al
though this lady does not advertise or
lay herself out in any way to attract pa

A pretty little French girl greeted the
reporter with bewitching smile, and
with just the slightest accent asked his

visitor desiled to see the proprietor, she
hastened away and in few moments a

appearance. 49,,

With an eye to business the dress
maker threw open the doors of several
large wardrobes and the reporter gazed
in silent admiration upon number of
magnificent wedding gowns.
"What do you charge for these
dresses"
! "Well, they all bring different prices.

beautiful garment of white satin
trimmed with lace, sis very beautiful.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

To be angry is to revenge the faults of
Others upon ourselves.
Some natures are so sour and migrate
full that they are never to be obliged.
The lasting and crowning privilege, or
rather property, of friendship is con-
stancy.
Anxiety is the poison of human life.
1t is the parent of many sins and of more
miseries.
Title and ancestry render good name
more illustrious, but an i'll one more con-
tcmptible.
Many man passes by a little spring of
cool, pure water, to drink at last from a
hog wallow.
One devious step at first stepping out
frequently leads person into wilder
ness of doubt and error.
To take away rewards and punish
ments is only pleasing to man who re-
solves not to live morally.
1t does not pay to hire help you have
to quarrel with, or to work for person
with whom you desire to quarrel.
When men dare not tell the truth of
themselves, how can they be expected to
always tell the truth about others2
This mystery of sleepl This great
mystery of waking! If we could fathom
them, we should have fathomed our
selves, and life aud death!
Thousands whom Incidence has sunk
in contemplate obscurity might have
come forward to the highest distinction,
if idleness had not frustrated the effort
of all their powers.
No better cosmetics than severe tenn
perance and purity, modesty and hu-
mility, gracious temper and calmness
Of spirit; no true beauty without the sig
nature of these graces in the very coun-
tenance.
Courage that grows from constitution
very often forsakes a man when he has
occasion for it; and when it is only
kind of instinct in the soul, it breaks
out on ali occasions, without judgment
or discretion.
To insure long life recreation should
be a part of our daily life. 1t makes the
busy man thoughtful and the thoughtful
busy. 1t insures health, success, and the
accomplishment of more work in less
time, and better.
