CHAPLAIN FOR RECEIVING STA
TION.
Puaa presented a resolution provd-
ing for $3.50 year for the employment
of a chaplain for the Kalihi receiving
station, defending his proposal with
speech. Harris said many ministers
would gladly go there to preach If given
the opportunity. Kaniho supported
this view, he being a preacher himself.

would not countenance a sectarian APP
preparation.

providing that the mileage of jurors
should be ten cents, in which the House
concurred The amendments to the
Hackmen's bill likewise were agreed to,
and the House willingly made the same
amendments to the act providing for

tries.
AGAINST VACCINATION.
The order of the day came up with
the second reading of House Bill No.
s, relating to vaccination and repeal
ing the compulsory features as applied
to school children, which was intro
.duced by Paele. That member moved
the previous question and Fernandez
wanting to talk on 1t made a fight and
the previous question was beaten.
Fernandez favored the bill as his con-
stituents wanted it. He said as father
he would rather pay the penalty than
have his children vaccinated. He said
a patient at Molokai had told him that
his disease came from his being vac
cinated. He said the Hawaiians, before
the whites came, had no diseases nor
vaccination.
Andrade called attention to Senate
Bill No. 100 giving the authorities the
right to vaccinate children in the event
of smallpox epidemic and he moved
that consideration of the bill be defer
red for the present. but he had no Sec
ond. The roll was called and the bill
went through by 10 to s. the noes being:
Andrade, Chillingworth. Gandall.
Harris. Jaeger Lewis and
Long.

gested Pauoa, while Andrade wanted to
add Makiki. but these were forgotten Z,
and the Nuuanu amendment went
through after which the bill passed.
