that large number could be imported
on the pretence that they were teach
ers. No fraud could be more easily
discovered.
Noble Williams opposed that.
He did not wish to leave any loop
holes. We were not legislating for
Chinese merchants, to provide them
with Chinese teachers.
Rep. Smith thought the last speak
er's views very narrow and unreason-
able. Teachers and clergymen were
allowed to come under the present
law, severe as it was. The member
could not give a solitary instance
when any harm had come of it.
Minister Robinson offered one or
two amendments.
Noble Baldwin opposed the require
ment that they should be compelled
| to leave the country. That was not
necessary as long as they could be
| identified. We must be careful or we
would not get any labor.
Rep. Bush denounced the planters.
! He did not trust one of them where a
| dollar was concerned.
Noble Baldwin said his amendment
was made simply because if the bill
were too much encountered with con-
!
had not. What justice was there in
taking a man from sick bed and
sending him out of the country? He
would withdraw the amendment if
the House were strongly opposed to
it, but he believed it was a good
amendment.
Noble Hind: It's a good amend
ment.
The amendment was lost upon the
the following division:
Ayes-Ministers Wilcox and Jones !;
Mobiles Williams, Kauhane, J. NJ. Hor-
ner, Hind, Baldwin, w. Y. Horner,
Walbridge and Anderson; Reps. Will

Akina-24.
Absent-Miuister Brown; Reps: Bipi-
kane, Ashford, kauhi 4. w. Wilcox,
Koahou, Kapahu, kaluna and A. S.
Wilcox.
Noble Thurston moved the number
to be admitted be limited to 5000.
Eight hundred japanese had just ar
rived 800 more were coming, and,
with 5000 Chinese, that would make
nearly 5000. That would be enough
for eighteen months.
Noble Marsden said that would de-
feat the object of the bill, which was
to get just the labor needed and no
more. This bill did not provide for
unlimited immigration, as none could
be admitted without permits.
Noble Baldwin opposed the amend
ment. Three thousand might OIL
might not be enough.
Noble Thurston's amendment was
lost on the following division:

Noble Thurston moved to amend b,
making it 5000. The planters SHOULD
be satisfied with that number. On,
hundred thousand might be intro
duced. Noble Marsden was disposed
to ride rough shod because he though
he had a majority. Such policy wa
damnable.
Noble Marsden protested agains
: such language.
1 Noble Thurston insisted on his RICH
to say what he pleased.
At 4:08 PM, on motion of Nobl
Thurston, the House adjourned with
