Kamehatneha Schools and instructors.
He was one of the first sons OF the Ka-
mchameha Schools; he intended to pro-
| tect its interests. AS to teaching the
young people in such a way that their
wants could not be supplied, he denied
! had made no mention OF the fact that
the means of satisfying wants are fur
nished by that institution. The princi-
Pile OF the school was to teach handi-
craft Whatever desires had been
! taught him the means of satisfying his
desires had also been taught him. He
roasted Emmeluth as he went along
Emmeluth testify arose to reply to
| Beckley. He admitted that Beckley was
| right In some ways. Puuki and Make
kau entered objections to Emmeluth talk
ing further on the subject, but he was
| privileged TO continue by the Chair
Emmeluth said that the records will
show that the graduates Of Kameham eha
| found more employment on the police
| force and as hackdrivers. His state
ments caused the greatest excitement of
| the day. Interpreter Wise, who is also
Kamehameha graduate, said soto voce
that Emmeuth did not tell the truth. A
stormy debate began in many quarters,
| points Of order were called, and for a
few minutes "a wordy scrap seemed i'm
mnent.
Robertson arose TO state that the mo-
ton to adopt the report was out of Or
| der, as If the report was adopted the
bill would he killed. The rules did not
allow an adverse report to be adopted
at the second reading of the bill. Dickey
said the point was well taken.
| The Speaker ruled the point of order
was not well taken. Robertson asked
whether or not If the report was adopted
the bill would be rejected. The Speaker
said it would be. Then Robertson said
that under the rules bill could not be
t.I ,r Id,
ing. Overruled by the Speaker.
Emmeluth asked to be excused from
voting, not being sufficiently versed as
to the bill or report. The Chair granted
the request.
The Chair was, without doubt, wrong
| in his ruling, but was determined, as a
Home Ruler, to stand with the MAORI
ty, and force the measure through,
rules or no rules. The vote on ayes and
noes was as follows: Ayes. 10; noes, s;
and the report was adopted.
Prendergast made report for the
Printing Committee of bills printed and
ready for the House, as follows: House

Territory of Hawaii; 90, Relating to Cart
and Dray Tax; 81, Relating to Education
of Hawaiian Youths Abroad; SO, Sup

School Libraries.
Upon motion of Beckiey, the House
took recess until 1870 p. m.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
Dilatory House members caused that
branch of the Legislature to be DELAYED
twenty minutes in assembling for the
afternoon session. The Miscellaneous
Committee reported favorably on Bill "a,
for a Great Seal The bill was consid-
cred under suspension of rules. The bill,
| which contains myriad of heraldc
| phrases, upset the clerk when he was
called upon to read the bill through. The
| report of the committee to which was
referred the bill recommended it's pas
sage. Prendergast moved the report be
adopted and the bill read for the second
time. Dlckey said the Hawaiian trans
lation of the bill was not perfect, and
objected to it being placed before the
members in its present form. Amend
mentS We're made and adopted and the
bill passed at the second reading. 1t
Will be made the order of the day for
tomorrow"
Makekau objected to the word "tomor-
row." as tomorrow" would never come,
and moved that instead of being made
the order of the day for tomorrow" the
words Thursday, March a." The House
took Makekaus joke in earnest and
adopted his motion.
Emmeluth presented a report from the
Judiciary Committee on House Bill IS,
relating to felonies and misdemeanors
The report recommended minor changes
and the adoption of the bill. Robertson
moved 1t be laid on the table and taken
up with the bill
| Ahulii, 1.-The silent member" suddenly
awoke and asked to have the report
| read over again. His request was ignor-
| ed. and the Robertson motion was adopt
ed
Beckley, for Committee on Public
Health, read a report favoring the pas
sage of House Bill 20, relating to ceme-
teries. Tabled.
Beckley read communication from
the Board of Health relating to a regu-
lation preventing persons afflicted with
or suspected of having leprosy and tu-
berculosis from entering the Territory
from other countries, and he introduced
Dill relating to the diseases. Beckley
SAID the Board of Health had deemed it
necessary to have such a law enacted,
and under the rules a standing commit
tee could introduce bills without first
giving notice, and Makekau objected, The
proposed bill met with a stormy recep-
ton. The most serious objection was
the manner of Introduction, and Chair
man Beckley was charged with having
introduced the measure without consult
ing the other members of the commit
tee. kaniho at once repudiated the
statement as he had sanctioned It. GIL
man, He did not want Hawaii to be-
come the dumping-gropnd of pulmonary
troubles and other incurable diseases.
Protection was the, watchword of every
country Instead of\being blamed Beck
ley should be praised. He might be pre-
mature, but 1t showed what a good chair
man Beckley was. He was no laggard
The members should not be governed by
petty personal interests, but by the in
terest OF the country at large. Makekau
and Puuld kicked vigorously
After all the discussion, the vote re-
suited in victory for Beckley, and the
bill was passed at its first reading. The
Speaker said affairs were getting into a
hopeless muddle; that he did not know
where he was ''at," and called for a
motion.
Upon motion OF Monsarrat the order
OF the day was taken up.
The Act to repeal certain obsolete
laws was referred back to the commit
tee to be corrected
