enough time for the bill to be deferred
If the next Legislature wanted such ;
measure it could be passed then.
Senator McCandless asked the Senate
to be sensible. The bill gave plenty o.
time for the people to change their car
riage wheels. Every carriage wheel in
the country should be road maker.
Senator Wright opposed the bill.
Senator Baldwin said there were
many good points about the bill, but
the roads of the country presented such
varied character that it was almost
impossible to fix hard and fast rules for
all districts.
Senator Hocking-There ought to be
section in this Act repeating the law
against cruelty toeanimals.
Motion to Indefinitely postpone was
lost. The bill was then taken up section
by section. Section 1 passed with the
amendments recommended by the COM
mittee. Sections and took the same
course. The bill then passed the sec
ond reading as whole.
The loan bill was made the special
order for Saturday.
House bill No..49, to amend portions
of the laws of 1892, relating to appeals,
passed the first reading, read the sec
ond time by title and referred to the
Judiciary Committee.
Senator Brown said question had
arisen as to the constitutionality of the
loan bill, No. 46, owing to the provision
IN the constitution that requires that
loan measures should enanate from the
Executive. The bill now before the
Legislature was a substitute bill. The
Executive considered that the Senate
had exceeded its authority Mr. Brown
did not take this view 1t was import
ant that the matter should be decided,
as it might affect the sale of the bonds.
Senator Brown brought the matter up
so that it might be discussed when the
bill was brought up Saturday.
The Senate then adjourned. After
adjournment a secret caucus on the re-
funding scheme was held.

Resolution adopted.
Rep. Hanuna reported for the COM
mittee appointed to hand to the Board
of Health the resolution regarding
people at the l,per settlement, from
whom all appearances of disease had
disappeared, which was introduced in
the House Thursday. The President
Of the Board of Health had read the
resolution and stated that that body
could take no action on the matter
since it had not been adopted in the
House. In cases of such people as were
described in the resolution, a board of
physicians, already appointed, should
make examination and if found to be
free from the disease, they should be
set at liberty from the leper settle
ment. This had always been done in
the past. There was no room at the
Kalihi station

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Rep. Richards, under suspension of
the rules, introduced a bill relative to
franking privilege to be granted to the
| lepers at the settlement. The bill pro-
yides that the letters be sent to Kauna-
kakai in package, and by the postmas-
ter at that place sent to the Honolulu
general postofice, where they will re-
ceiye the ordinary cancelling stamp of
this Office. Bill passed second reading.
Rep. 'Rycroft wanted something done
| toward furnishing wood to the lepers.
Understood 81 500 would be sufficient.
Rep. Richards reported verbally the
action taken by the Board Of Health
on Wednesday. There is wood enough
in the gulches to supply the people for
many years.
House bill No. As, relating to the prac-
| tice of medicine and surgery, was
brought up, and Rep. Kamauoha then
promptly moved to lay it on the table
His reasons were that there has been
a good deal of talk about the doctors,
and if this bill goes into effect they will
get even on somebody, probably the
public. We sent respectful communi-
cation to the doctors and this morning
we got an insulting reply. The bill was
in bad odor in the Senate and was
killed there, but in some way it got new
life and is down here, We all know
that the doctors here occasionally make
a right guess and get the right remedy.
Well, they may not strike it so often if
we go in to regulate them.
Rep Rycroft said the member evil
IDENTIFY had not read the bill This was
here with bogus diplomas and practic-
ing a profession they knew nothing
about. 1t was measure which pre-
vented people practicing medicine un-9
til they had passed an examination be-
fore physicians here.
Rep. Kamauoha thought he under
stood the matter. Physicians have to
go through an examination. If this bill
becomes a law, the examining ply
sicians can stop really good men from
coming here.
Rep Richards thought the insulting
letter received from the physicians this
morning should be ignored in consider
ing this bill. The letter was evidently
gotten up by the same clique that pass
ed the fee bill, which the majority of
physicians repudiate. These examiners
are appointed by Minister, and he will
use due care in selecting the right men
1t has passed the third reading in the
Senate, and we have only to concur or
not. I.
Rep. Kamauoha said it was House
bill and had been amended by the
Senate We have a perfect right to lay
it on the table.
The Speaker decided that the motion
was out of order according to Sec
ton IA.
Rep Richards said Section IL would
cover it if the member wanted the bill
killed.
The bill passed.
The current receipts bill appropriate
ing s1,797. .239.01, passed third reading.
The wine bill, permitting wines Of
less than Is per cent alcohol to enter
the Hawaiian Islands duty free, passed
first reading. Rep. Kamauoha wanted
to know why the bill provided for the
admission of this wine after June /,
1897.
Rep. Rycroft said he thought it was
because it took in countries all over

the world. and it would give ampie
time for notification to France ano
Australia. Another thing, it would give
dealers time to get rid of their duty
paid stock, so they could all start on an
equal basis.
Bill passed second reading.
Rep. Richards, under suspension OF
the rules, reported House bill No. Of
relating to free postage from Molokal,
had been printed. He asked that under
the same suspension the bill be read the
third time. Carried, and bill passed.
Rep. Kamauoha moved that the joint
resolution on the liquor commission be
taken from the table. Lost on two
thirds vote.
