l06 and 107 printed.
Noble CornwelI, from the Military
Committee, reported briefly as fol-
lows: Your Committee on Military
having considered the item in the APP
preparation bill for the Queens Guards
respectfully submit the following re-
port: On June Is your committee
visited the barracks and inspected the
quarters of the officers and men. We
found that the guard was In an effici-
emf state as regards appearance, drill
and equipment, and everything round
the barracks in excellent condition,
although we find that certain i'm
provements are necessary. We would
recommend that guardroom and
hospital be erected, which can be
done at an outlay OF $4,000. We find
that the men are enlisted for terms of
from three to five years; they are
sober, orderly and we'll disciplined,
and your committee would recon-
mend that the present force be cor,
tinued. Your committee co1Saer

sais Of u,r arri,Sdg and saluting the
Hawaiian Sssexpect their salutes re-
armed vsAch can only be done by
WILL fsfied men. We believe it is
ne1.sssary that the sovereign should
AVE respectable bodyguard for such
purposes as stated above, and we find
that the limit made in the Act of 1890
Is sufficient, and think that, in view
OF the existing law, if the minimum
limit be accepted there should be a
sufficient sum appropriated to have
a decently drilled, decently housed
and well equipped body of men for the
Household Guards. We therefore
recommend that the sum of $4,000,
as recommended by the Cabinet, be
appropriated for the Queens Guards,
and that an additional amount of
$4,000 be added for the erection of q
hospital and guardroom. Signed by
Noble w. Cornwell, Rep. G. p. Ka-
mauoha and Rep. j. W. Bipikane.

Committee:
Items on lines 80, 100 and 106 in the
Appropriation bill having been as,
signed to your Committee of Ways
and Means for report:
/. AS to the necessity of supporting
Minister at Washington. 2. AS to
the amount to be voted by this House
for such support should Minister
there be deemed necessary.
Your committee look upon sustain
ing Minister at Washington as q
positive necessity, from the fact that
all governments do their business
and carry on their correspondence
with other governments through
accredited Ministers, and if we desire
to keep up business relations with the
government at Washington we must
do it through customary channels
The government at Washington seem
to consider the people of these islands
of sufficient import to justify it in
sustaining a Minister of high rank
among US.
Therefore, the committee recon-.
mend the item pass as in the bill.
tSigned by all the members of the
committee.)
Laid on the table to be considered
with the Appropriation bill.
