rations OF beef and paiai, while the COM
mittee cannot recommend an increase IN
| rice aud sugar. They cannot recommend
a money allowance 10 children under
! fourteen years OF age. They cannot ma
any lust reason for the dismissal Of Mr..
! TIE. Evans, the superintendent. His SER
! vices give the utmost satisfaction 10 the
Board OF Health. They found everything
at the settlement in tirst-rate working or
! der The question OF the removal OF Mr..
W. Jerome as assistant luna they think
| should be left 10 the superintendent TO
decide. Mr.. Rice disSents from this,
thinking he ought 10 be removed II he
keeps a coffee shop \ judge they be-
| lieve il would be advisable TO have, out
a sheriff would be superhuoGs. Ihe
| question of the removal OF houses
from Kalawao 10 Kalaupapa should be
| left 10 the Board OF Health. They think
the present arrangements for supplying
the lepers with tirewood are very fair,
and cannot suggest any Improvement.
That lepers who have no relatives be
| returned 10 the Kalihi Receiving Station,
so that they may receive proper medical
| care"-the committee deem would be
very unwise step, and suggest that 1t
] should not be allowed "That the
wagon belonging to the Board OF Health
! should take the packages OF the lepers
| free OF charge''-they think matter 10
! be settled by the Superintendent. That
| the kokuas to the lepers be permitted TO
| leave the settlement and return again
without applying to the Board of Health
/ TO renew their permits, only, however,
with the consent of the Superintendent
OF the Board of Health, for very neces-
sarv visits to friends at home, on prop
erty matters or on religious matters =
the committee think should not be
granted. The report concludes;
''Your committee also visited the
Pauahi Bishop Home, which is under
the care of the Sisters OF Mercy, and
| found that the girls under their charge
were well looked after and very comfort
able, their rooms presenting an appear
ance which did credit TO the girls,as also
/ to those who had charge OF them.
1--WE must say that the whole appear
| ance OF the settlement, and the lepers
presented a very marked improvement
to what it did in former years, and think
! that the present management must be
very satisfactory to the government as
well as to the Board OF Health.
Your committee, who had been
accompanied by a number OF the medi-
cal profession, returned TO Honolulu on
the evening OF the 2Sth OF July, we'll
satisfied with the result of their visit

farlane, L. Won Tempsky, ]. Marsden,
John Phillips, VIM. H Rice.
Noble Won Tempsky moved the report
be laid on the table to await the minori-
~ report.
Rep. Paehaole thought he had not
been treated right, the committee did
not tell me they were going to present
the report.
Noble Won Tempsky said the report
was shown the hon. member, but he
would not sign it.
Noble Mccarthy said the report read
by Noble Won Tempsky is pretty near
the same as one written by Rep. Pae-
haole and handed to US.
Rep. Paehaole then read his report.
The committee found nine acres OF taro
under cultivation. Thirty-five lepers
were working there at the rate OF fifty
cents day. They requested they be
paid 81 day. The committee recon-
mend this question TO the consideration
Of the Board The treatment OF the leper
children at the Damien Receiving Hospi-
tai is very kind. The committee had
meeting with the lepers at Kalawao. A
number OF complaints were made by the
lepers. They recommend that the ko-
kuas working on the roads be paid fifty
cents day; that the rations of beef be
increased from seven to ten pounds that
ha fnrY Yha ~
twentv-one to twenty-five pounds be not
granted; that a money portion to child
ren be not allowed; that Mr.. I. E Evans,
the Superintendent be removed, 1st, be-
cause a great disturbance arose between
the lepers and the said Mr.. Evans, which
nearly ended in the loss OF life; ID, that
the said disturbance originated from the
inhuman actions OF the said superinten-
dent; 3, that if Mr.. Evans be continued
as superintendent, there will ne distrust
and repetition OF disturbances would be
deplorable; 4th, that the facts against
the superintendent are more numerous
and weighty than those in his favor For
these chief reasons, the committee re-
commend that Mr.. Evans be discharged.
Other matters are recommended TO the
consideration of the Board of Health.
The report is signed by A P. Paehaole,
r. W. Wilcox, D. ". Pua and L. P Ka-
nealii.
Noble Won Tempsky moved the adop-
ton of the majority report.
Rep. Paehaole moved both reports be
printed, and the House set a day for
their consideration.
Noble ]. N. Horner moved both re-
ports be given to the Board OF Health TO
act on. The matter belongs to that de-
partment No use in having them
printed.
Noble Widemann said the report right
through was q command 10 the Board OF
Health. Everything that was not done
mentioned in the report would make
these people more and more dissatisfied.
President Walker had hoped that the
motions would have been put, and the
valuable time of the House not wasted
Rep. Brown said since 1880 there had
been complaints from the lepers at
Molokai. He moved the reports be laid
on the table.
Rep. Nawahi did not believe in laying
the reports on the table. The commit
tee had gone TO great expense, and the
