At the conclusion of the report Mr..
Damon stated he had asked the audi
tor-general to approve all floating
| debts up to October /, 1898.
Mr.. Brown reported from the judi
ciary committee as follows:
To the President of the Executive and
Advisory Councils of the Proyi-
sional Government:
SIR The Judiciary committee to
whom was referred the resolution to
report upon the advisability of
amending the law so that both terms
of the circuit court of the second judi
cial circuit shall be held at Waikiki,
on the island of Maui, beg leave to re-
port:
While in the opinion of the COM
mittee it is advisable that the pro-
posed change be eventually made,
that in view of the near approach of
the time for holding the next term of
said Court, it is PROBABLY best that the
change should not bemade at present.
And therefore recommend that fur
ther action in the premises be deferred
for the present.
Respectfully submitted,
CECIL BROWN,

HONOLULU, October 21st, 1898.
His Excellency SANFORD B. DOLE,
minister of foreign affairs.
SIR: We herewith beg to hand to
your excellency a copy of a commune
cation received by us from the o. & o.
5. s. Co. in connection with the 2. C.
S. 5. Co., relating to Chinese passen-
gers refused landing at this port by
reasOnof having fraudulent passports.
Lately it has occurred that always
one or two Chinese were refused to
land here, which men had to be car
ried on to San Francisco; but you will
see by the enclosed letter that in case
of any contagious disease having oc-
Cured during the passage on board of
such steamer these passengers would
bring the companies in great embar-
rassment, which might result in the
laying up of steamer for a month or
longer, on account of quarantine.
For this reason we beg to request
your excellency to give this matter
your kind consideration, and we hope
that exceptions will be made in cases
of any contagious disease being on
board and all the passengers for this
port be allowed to land here.
We are your excellencyis most
obedient servants,
II. HACRFELD & Co.,
