Whereas, there have been detained pas
sengers that were anxious to take pas
sage on the steamer Lehua for Molokai
on June 18th, and that the order to Will
der's Steamship Co. was from the Board
of Health; and,
Whereas, an appropriation Of $500 for
two years, and that a total of $41, 600 since
1884 to 1900, and that the said steamer is
for the purpose of carrying -epers from
Honolulu to Molokai, and that the lepers
are separated from the non-Ieprous peo-
pie;
Resolved, That the House of Repre-
sentatives of the Territory of Hawaii
do hereby instruct the Secretary of this
House to communicate to the Board of
Health the reasons that the above num-
Der of passengers were not allowed to
take passage on her. The names of the
passengers that were detained are here

There was some debate over the mat
ter of subsidized steamboats,. After
some ten or fifteen inmates of L
thinks" and "It-seems to-me's," the
resolution was laid on the table.
Following this, came the report of
the committee Oh Iildl >.
Mossman was chairman of the commit
tee, and he made a long spssch, in
which he attacked the prevailing met
DDS of paying the teachers of the pub
lie schools. 1t was all wrong TO pay
one teacher who has but seven or
Eight pupils the sum of $500, while an
other teacher who has forty or fifty
gets not half that sum. Mossmar adj
vanced the color line theory.
Emmeluth then arose and pointed
with pride to a cross-sectioh of his own
past. He said that he had been a MEM
Der of the "P G." in 1898, been appoint
ed on a committee of three, of which
w. F. Allen and Governor Dole were
the other two members. They We're
given the public schools to look after.
The other two members of the commit
tee We're in favor of withdrawing the
whole matter. Not so with Honest
John. Determined to do his duty, he
examined into matters, and found THAI
the school appointments were all
wrong. After making a thorough inves-
tigation, he found that two-thirds of
the school money was being drawn by

tempt was made to adjust things, with

morning. which had been as rambling
and as indefinite as mountain path
The following is the resolution:
With regard to the seventh item under
the heading Of Commission of Public In
struction, entitled pay roll, support of
schools, 5000. Co.," your Committee on Pub
lie Education beg leave to present the
following itemized list of teachers in the
employ of the Board Of Education and
the salaries received by each of them
per annum. which shows how this
amount is made up. = But owing to the
Irregularities of the apportioning OF the
salaries among the teachers of apparent
ly the same grade and the appointing of
assistants in the various schools without
regard to the number of pupils, as your
committee find it on further Inquiries,
your committee cannot but recommend
that these different salaries be consider
ed before this sum is passed or amended.
