RESOLUTION OPPOSED.
Achi moved the resolution be return
ed to the maker. I'VE cannot recog-
nlze any such business as going on in
this Territory" the speaker said. ct
Is against the laws of the United
States. If we want to find out We can
do so without bringing 1t before this
Senate"
McCandless defended his course, say
ing: II was challenged yesterday to
come out from my cover and specify
my charges. Therefore I took steps
last night to get proof. There are at
Iwilei about 1856 of those people. who
are compelled to undergo an examina-
ton They are under the control of
the police. These facts were proved
by myself and a member of the House
who Investigated the place. There was
great howl about the former condi-
ton OF affairs, but there Is worse
stockade today than 1t ever was before.
We ought to know why our police de-
partment should say that one part only
OF the place should be occupied. 1t was
terest Now l have no personal in
terest. Now 1 have no personal spite
in this matter, but when about $500
month is collected by one physician,
who is member of the Board of
Health, and the police department pays
$125 a month to an officer to take care
