the fifty dollars so paid to him, for
the purpose OF exposing such con-
spiiacy.
We would state as appears by the
record that said S. G. Luhau and
o. Nawahine gave their evidence
before the committee stating how,
when and from whom they received
the said money 50 paid them; but it
is not clearly proved that, before
they voted upon the passage of said
amendment they were informed, or
had knowledge of the reward so
prepared for hem.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
In view of the evidence and the
foregoing findings of fact, we make
the following recommendations,
which we offer in the form of reso-
lutious, to wit:
Resolved, that the conduct of
Representative A. Kauhi, and of
X preventative G. p. Kamauoha, in
the premises. establish the fact that
sufficient cause exists to expel the
said A. Kauhi and said G. p. Ka-
mauoha from this House, and to de-
clare their seats in the Legislature
vacant.
2. Resolved, that the said A.
Kauhi, Representative from Eva
and Waianae, is hereby expelled
from the House, and his seat in the
Legislature is declared vacant.
3. Resolved, that the said G.. p.
Kamauoha, Representative from S.
Kona, is hereby expelled from the
House, and his seat in the Legisla-
ture is declared vacant.
4. Resolved, that the conduct Of
Noble S. Z. Luhiau, and of Rep. o.
Nawahine, in accepting the said sums
of fifty dollars each is most repre-
hensible, and is deserving of punish.
ment. But, that, in view of the fact
of the free confessions made by
them, and of the assistance which
they rendered the committee in the
course of the investigation, the i'm
| posing upon them of the censure of
this House will be sufficient punish
| menf.
5. Resolved, that Noble S. G..
Luhiau be called before the bar of
this House, there to receive, from
the President of the Legislature, the
censure of of this House for. the
cause aforesaid.
6. Resolved, that the Representa-
tive O. Nawahine be called before
the bar of this House, there to re-
ceive, from the President of the
Legislature, the censure of the
| House, for the cause aforesaid.
z. Resolved, that the Attorney
General be instructed to institute
such prosecutions, as the facts shall
in his opinion justify, against all
persons engaged in such conspiracy.
Respectfully submitted,

MINORITY REPORT.
We the undersigned although
agreeing with the majority report
in most of its findings, do not con-
cur in the recommendation con-
corning Noble Luhiau and Rep.
Nawahine. Although it is fact,
that proof of their completely in the
matter before US, was almost wholly
due to their own confessions, yet
we believe that they received $50
each, Knowing at the time they re-
ceived it, that it was given them by
the Chinamen as remuneration
for having voted against the Con-
stit,tional amendment, and that
had it not been for the exposure of
the whole matter by Rep. Kalaukoa,
they would have kept the same with
out ever reporting it to the House.
We feel that it would not be right
for this House to condone so grave
an offence, but that it is its bound
en- duty, as a Reform Legislature to
clear itself of the whole matter, and
show to the country that it will not
tolerate in the least any of those
acts, which have disgraced past
Legislatures.
We therefore recommend to this
House that it do forthwith expel
Noble Luhiau and Rep. Nawahlne
also from seats therein, and declare
their seats vacant.

The motion was lost.
The reading of the report was
concluded at o'clock.
Noble Hitchcock moved that the
majority report as amended by the
minority report be adopted.
Noble Smith moved the majority
report be adopted. They all feel
the burden upon them. The con-
duct of Noble Luhiau and Rep. Ma
wahine standing by itself alone does
deserve expulsion. But in view of
their confession and assistance in
