REVIEW FOR THE OUTGOING
STEAMER.

Among the principal events OF
the past month has been the close
OF the Legislative session, which
was prorogued by the King yes
terday with the usual formallties.
The report of the exercises includ-
ing the Kings speech, will be
found on the first page of to days
paper.
The session has been a very
lengthy one, having been opened
during the last week in May, and
has continued nearly six months,
to November 18th. No very i'm
portant new laws have been en-
acted, the chief business of the SEES
sion having been confined to
amending old laws and the Con-
stitution of 1887, where experience
has shown that changes were
needed. The Constitution remains
In all it's man features and restric-
tions, as when adopted in 1887.
The attempt which was made
during October, by the National
Party TO remove, by vote of want
of confidence, the present Cabinet,
which was appointed after several
unsuccessful efforts to secure a
more partizan Cabinet, proved q
failure, the resolution having beer

d IS, in which all the members of the
Reform Party voted, with one OF
IS two exceptions, in support OF tn
n Cabinet. The result is that thu
d present Ministers remain in otfic'
for the current two years. They

les During the fall season, VIII
grinding operations were suspen
ed, many of the mills have had ne
machinery put in, and two nc
. mills have been erected, a dout
roller mill at Wailuku, and diff
sion plant at Waihee, both

in better condition to turn out fl
sugar than they are to-day.
1t is q mistake, as stated by
