Minister Damon appreciated the
Councillors generous sentiments. In
matters OF this Kind" said the Minis
ter, we must look to the practical
aide. and must make II a business
transaction, and start right from the
beginning. When kamehameha Nv.
and his Queen started the Queene Hos
pital, they went around and enlisted
| the sympathy OF all classes and estab-
| llshed a fund for the hospital and to
their everlasting credit, they put II on
a sound basis, and then the Govern
ment gave II a subsidy az well. The
hospital has the advantage now o! leg
aeles and subscriptions. and notwith-
standing the Government still contin-
ues to pay a subsidy. they receive very
valuable support from the community.
Il don't think there 10 hospital that
10 so badly needed as the one for In
curables, and there Ia not q man who
is opposed to Its establishment here,
know many men In this community
who are ready to assist 1t. The Minis-
ter Of the Interior has given It q great
deal OF thought for a number OF years,
and / don't think the community will
see the matter suffer for want Of
! funds"

book OF the Council ol Std.e wherein he
was reported to have said the Court of
Claims should be composed Of five busi-
ness men, and that he would ask Pres
ident Mckinley to organize the Court
upon that basis.
II don't remember saying that" said
the President. He stated that he had
later formed an opinion that the Court
should be composed of lawyers. or at
least the larger proportion should be
legal men.
