at his death left his widow Mele IA
uhane without adequate means o

Be it enacted by the Executive anC
Advisory Councils of the Provis
ional Government of the Ha
waiian Islands:

Hundred and Forty Dollars per an
mum is hereby permanently settled
upon the said Mele Kauhane.

The Acknowledgement stated that
the Executive Council had a bill
under consideration relating to immi-
grafton of aliens. The bill was read
lthe text Of which appears in the "By
Authority" column).
The bill passed its first reading I'M
der suspension of the rules. 1t was
read again, section by section.
The Attorney-G General explained the
provisions of the United States law.
Minister Hatch stated that the dis
lance from the Coast had always been
relied on to protect the country from
paupers, but 1T was not sufficient. He
had before him a schedule which had
to be filled up before an immigrant
could land. Twenty-one questions
were asked; if the immigrant could
not answer them satisfactorily he
could not land. The questions were
very searching. The bill could only
be productive of good and should be
passed.
Minister Damon stated that dam
gerous characters could come down on
sailing vessels, working their passage
and then being discharged here.
The Acknowledgement thought that
should be dealt with in another bill.
Mr.. Young asked if this bill would
interfere with mechanics coming here
who were sent for.
The Attorney General explained
that the bill would not Interfere in
such cases.
w. G. Wilder thought the trouble
would arise at the other end. The
man would not be able to produce
satisfactory evidence that he was
going to be employed here.
The President stated that the $50
test would not necessarily always be
applied, but only in case of suspicious
characters.
Minister Hatch moved the words
'alien immigrants or steerager pas
sengers be inserted in section 3, so as
to make it apply to steerage passen-
gers only.
The Attorney General stated that |
this would make the law the same as |
in the United States.
The President thought the Amer
lean law applied to saloon passengers.
Mr.. Suhr held that the United |
States law applied to saloon passen-
gers, but was not enforced as to them.
Minister Hatch thought if the law
applied to saloon passengers, it would
become obnoxious.
After some further discussion, Mr..
Hatch withdrew his amendment
President Dole gave up the chair
TO Minister King in order to take part
more freely in the debate. He held
hat the word immigrant was not the
pest for the purposes of the bill. Its
provisions should apply to all aliens,
whether in the cabin or steerage, and
coming to reside here perma-
lently or not. The word immigrant
lad only crept into the bill in one
ection. He would move to amend
~ striking out the word immigrant.
Carried, and the section as amended
passed.
Mr.. Allen asked how section would
pply to vessels under way. 1t might
york hardship.
All the sections passed and also the
tile and enacting clause, the title being
hanged so as to read, an Act relating
D the landing of aliens in the Ha-
7aiian Islands.
The whole bill was then passed.
The Attorney General introduced |
mother bill as follows:

PERSONS.
