AFTERNOON SESSION.

The House re-assembled at 1870.
Bill No. IA was referred to the Com
mittee on Public Lands.
Second reading of Bill No. q to
amend Section 1919 of the Civil Code,
relating to the law of Contract Labor.
Referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Second reading of Bill No. % to
provide additional terms for the Third
Judicial Circuit. Referred to Judiciary
Committee.
Second reading of Bill No. %, to
confer on notaries the authority to ac-
knowledge articles of adoption. Re-
ferred to Judiciary Committee.
Second reading of Bill No. "a, to
amend Section 2, Chap. 81, Laws of
1872, as subsequently amended. Re-
ferred to the Sanitary Committee.
Second reading of Bill Nope, an Act
to amend the 4th and 5th Election
Districts of Section Is of Chap. sc of
the Laws of'90.
Rep. Iosepa said the Hama district
was too large and the bill proposed to
transfer Honuaula to the South Wal
luku district, and Huelo also.
Rep. Smith favored reference to the
Judiciary Committee as the title was
in q state of confusion.
w ldNOISu
ence to a select committee of which
the member from Hama should be
chairman. Referred to select COM
mittee.
Second reading of bill No. % an
of 1890 concerning Chinese immigra-
ton.
Noble Marsden moved reference to
csoIo 70 hn 40 Inh hn
Labor Committee. This was prob
ably the most important matter to
come before the House.
Noble Baldwin moved it be q COM
mittee of seven so that all sides might
be represented.
Rep. Ashford was not sure that
even seven would be sufficient. He
moved it be committee of nine.
Rep. Kamauoha, the introducer of
| the bill, favored q committee of nine,
and would suggest a fair representa-
! ton of foreigners and natives.
The motion to refer to q committee
of nine WIS carried.
| Second reading of the bill No. % to
amend section "a chapter IS of the
Penal Code.
Rep. Ashford said this was practi-
cally the same bill as No. q and
should be referred to the same COM
mittee (the Judiciary Committed.
| So referred.
Second reading of the bill No. 81 to
license tailor shops.
Noble Macfarlane said the bill
might be referred to the introducer to
make sense out of it, if he could. The
speaker had tried it and couldn't. T.
might be referred to the Educational
Committee.
Rep. Smith said the introducer was
a new member without legislative ex-
perience. He probably had some idea
he was trying to get at. He moved
reference to the Committee on Com
merce.
Noble Neumann favored the last
motion. The bill might be unna-
tural strange and full of contradic-
tions, but he did not want it rejected,
merely because he could not under
stand it.
Noble Macfarlane thought it too
much to require of a committee
to revise so unintelligible bill.
Rep. Waipuilani said the bill was
very plain in Hawaiian. There were
few errors which could easily be
rectified. He defied the best LAWYERS
in the House to draft bills without
errors.
Rep. Kamauoha moved reference to
the Judiciary Committee which was
composed of eminent lawyers. (Calls
: of ninau).
Noble Young saw no necessity fol

Moved that it be referred to the
Committee on Public Lands and In
ternal Improvements.
The Attorney General said it in
cluded matters relating to Home
steads, so that the Committee on Pub
lie Lands would he better.
Rep. Nawahi favored referring to the
Judiciary Committee, as the bill con-
fiicted with Art 76 of the .Constitu-
ton. That article said the word King
must be in the enacting clause, where
as the word Queen was in the bill.
The Constitution would have to be
amended.
Minister Widemann said the Queen
could be called King if necessary to
please the hon. member, but he pre-
ferred the word Queen. The bill
should be referred to the Committee
on Public Lands.
Rep. Nawahi repeated his former
observations. [Calls of question:

Changes in an English School.

In 1924 Mr.. Mines Gaskel writes
from Eton that an upper boy 'got spurs
and rode some of us dover boys) over a
leap positively impossible to be leaped
over with a person on your back, and
every time (Which is every time) we can
not accomplish it he spurs us violently,
and my thigh is quite sore with the in
roads made by those dreadful spurs; my
new coat is completely ruined" In the
next year Ashley minor, a son Of Lord
Shaftesbury, died in consequence Of a
fight which lasted two hours and a quar-
ter on the same evening. The quarrel
originated about seat in the upper
school.
DR.. Keate spoke about the sad event
to the school three days later; he blamed
the boys for letting the fight go on so
long, but was not to be ''seduced into
any namby pamby peace-at-any-price
sentimentalism. He said: mot that |
object to all fighting in itself; on the
contrary, | like to see boy return a
blow Such state Of things has for
tunately entirely disappeared; a clergy
man, q head master, doctor of divini-
ty, however much he might feel that the
meek acceptance Of injuries was not the
sign of a keen and generous character,
yet would now hesitate to mark fighting

boys whom lie was bound by statute to
instruct in Christian principles.-Na-

tuberculosis I'm Rats.

For seven years have been making
almost daily experiments upon the in
ternal organs of dead animals in order
TO increase my knowledge of compare
tive pathology. The postmortem ex-
aminations were made for the most part
at the Lamparter Glue works, in the
suburbs of Lancaster, Pa. Here of
course were the bodies of large numbers
of animals which afforded me an abun-
liant supply of subjects for examination.
The vicinity of the works swarmed with
rats. Many Of those, the workmen told
me, sickened and died from time to time,
and became curious to know something
about the disease that carried so many
of the rodents off.
| could find next to nothing about the
rat in books, so the thought growing
upon me that the disease so fatal to the
rat might be made dangerous to the
rats nearest neighbor. man himself, !
undertook series of experiments. My
first rat subject was a sick one which !
captured in the yard of the glue works
without any exertiOn. The animal
crawled about, made no effort to escape
from me and when picked up offered no
resistance. Its appearance indicated that
it was dying of general debility. It's
body was greatly emaciated. Its back
was arched and its face bore an express
sion of distress. 1t refused food, was
racked with constant cough and in
few hours after being captured was
found dead in the comfortable prison in
which had placed it.
My next subject was healthier and
more active rat. l caught him only to
mark him and then gave him his free
dom. He came into the yard regularly
for his ratiOns of flesh from various ami
mails, but gradually showed the same
symptoms that marked the condition of
my first subject, and in fourteen days
