crossed.
Bill Is a was brought up for cOnsid-
GRAFTON.
Rep. Robertson thought that, not
withstanding the legislative patch
work of the previous day on the bill,
it should be indefinitely postponed.
The author of the bill did not posses
originality enough to produce any
thing new, hence he had resorted TO
plicable to the present needs. He was
ashamed to send such a bill to the
Senate.
Rep. Kamauoha thought it neces-
sary for the bill to pass on account of
the heavy expenses under the present
law in circuits other than this.
Upon being put to vote, Rep. Rob-
ertsOn's motion to indefinitely post
pOne was lost.

Senate reported bills concerning dis
eases among animals, and granting
extension of saloon licenses. Laid on
table. The Senate refused to concur
in House amendments 10 the Appro-
priation bill.
a motion was made that the Joint
resolution on registration be read

This Immediately provoked strenu-
Gus objection. Rep. Rycroft moved
that the vote of the previous day,
passing the resolution, be reconsidered.
This was favorably received and the
resolution was again read.
The Military bill was taken up for
second reading, but, as no Hawaiian
printed copies were available, the bill
was referred to the Printing Com
mittee.
The clerk was instructed to ask the
Senate for a conference on the Appro-
pr1ation bill.
