Evening Session.
The House re-assembled at 7 :35.


The smoking rule was suspended.
Noble Crabbe moved a re-considera-
ton of the vote on the resolution to pro-
rogue on Friday.
Noble Widemann heartily seconded
the motion; he did not think they could
get through with the work by that time.
They could prorogue on Monday, as the
steamers left on that day and Tuesday.
Minister Peterson-It seems to me
that tomorrow morning would have
been soon enough to bring this in. This
nights work would have guided us.
There is no question about our getting
through with the work and proroguing
on Friday,
Minister Brown said the hon. Noble
should be we'll aware that Saturday is a
holiday, and the House generally does
not sit on Sundays How could they
adjourn on Monday. If FIVE do not ad-
journ on Friday we cannot do so on
Monday. There are very few bills to
work on, and they are not contentious.
Noble Widemann-For myself, would
just as leave adjourn now as Friday. 1t
is the bills we have to look after, and
| they can be signed on Saturday We
shall then know what we have been
| doing. This is a question OF formalitv
| to His Majesty. If we have sent word
| to him to prorogue on Friday we cannot
| 90 again and tell him to put it off to
| Monday. l think we ought not to be
| hasty.
Minister Petersyn-With regard to the
signing of the bills, l would say that
bills passed last evening came into the
House to-day signed.
| praciIant Walkar-Tha com mittae wa G
appointed, and l do not know whether
they have made any arrangements to
call on His Majesty.
| Noble Cornwell-We are to call at
As O'Clock tomorrow morning.
The motion to reconsider was lost,

the holding of additional terms of the
circuit court for the third judicial circuit
The report of the committee was read,
recommending the bill pass.
Rep. Kahookano moved the report be
adopted
Rep. Brown asked if there would be
money for the Judiciary to carry out this
bill.
Rep. Kahookano said he thought there
would Ii anything the expense would
be decreased.
Minister Peterson said if there was an
additional term there would be more ex-
| pense. The court would be at Honokaa
in March, and it is already provided for
| a term at Hilo in May. The time is very
| short between those terms. The term at
Kohala under this bill would not be held
| until November, long time between.
Noble Widemann I cling to the
| ancient customs | like to see a good
reason for changes. Whether it is wise
for US to pass this bill may be questioned.
| Unless there is some reason shown to
| me | cannot vote tor 1t.
