st. Louis June 1.-THE edict went
forth this evening that the convention
would, by resolution. either formally ac-
cept as final the report of the national
committee on all contests decided by
them or would instruct the committee on
credentials to so report. This means
that only such contests as those of Texas
and Delaware shall be referred to the
convention. because such action would
make the temporary roll call a perma-
nent one with the exception of the two
states named.

Hawkes. Cut Glass.

There is no continuous din, no great
fare of trunipets, no everlasting blow
of their wares, but you see only these
few quiet words:
FIRST PRIZE OVER EVERY COM
PETITOR, for BRILLIANCY, for DE-
SIGN, and for COLOR.
No other make can equal it. The
production of the glass itself, the base
or blank on which the cutting IS done,
is done by a secret process, which
turns it out as white as the whttest
Cape diamond.
On top of this comes their superior
designs, elaborate cutting, leaving
hardly a sixteenth of an inch uncut on
the entire surface of the article. This
is the class Of goods we handle and OF
which we sell such quantities.
Absolutely unapproachable in any
way, 1t today stands at the head, and
WILL KEEP AT THE HEAD, for ev-
cry new cutting made is more beauti-
full than the preceding one; every
piece more artistic than the last.
We are the only ones who sell
Hawkes. Cut Glass in the Islands
therefore. you run no risk Of not get
ting the choicest when purchasing
from us. New pieces have just come
in, and you will find in our stock al
most everything needful for the table

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Rep. Richards, under suspension of
rules, reported from the Committee on
Passed Bills that there had been pre-
sented to the President the bill relating
to public holidays.
Under the same suspension he intro
duced a resolution to the effect that
after the adjournment of the Legisla-
ture all papers connected with this ses-
sion be placed in the custody OF the
Minister of the Interior. Resolution
carried.
Rep. Hanuna said the session is now
drawing to a close, and as there would
be only a few days more, he would
like to know what the committee to
whom was referred the matter OF adj
ditional time for the clerk or the House
was going to do.
Rem. Richards, from that committee
said he would be ready to report later
Minister Cooper, under suspension OF
the rules, introduced an amendment tC
the Act providing for permanent set
Element for Kapiolani Park. the reason
being that a mistake had been made in
the English translation. and that nc
authority had been given the Govern
ment to transfer any property TO Mr.
Irwin.
Under suspension of the rules the bill
passed first and second reading.
Minister Cooper then gave notice OF
his intention to introduce a bill to re-
peal Act Is of the Session Laws Of 1896
This is the celebrated Registration
law, about which so much has been
said and written.
Under suspension of the rules, the
bill was read and passed first reading
and on motion of Rep. Rycroft the bill
passed quickly second reading. Recess
of twenty minutes was taken and at the
expiration of that time Rep. Richards
under suspension of the rules, reported
from the Printing Committee that the
bills just introduced relating to custody
of records, KapiOlani Park and repeal
of the Registration Act had been type
written.
The Act amending the Act providing
for permanent settlement for KapiO-
Iani Park was then taken up and pass
ed third reading.
The bill to repeal the Registration
Act was, on motion of Rep. Robertson
taken up for third reading and passed
unanimously, and the House adjourned
1t was noticed that the votes of some
members who opposed the repeal in the
caucus were in very subdued tones
Rep. Bond remarked that it was the
meanest thing he had done during the
session, but he saw no other way tC

tanned. Amendments might have been
introduced, but there was not time &c
pass them in this session
Richards was hot stun" against the
repeal until after the two-hour caucus
He was. convinced then that the bill
could not be enforced as long as ma
iority of the people. supporters OF the
Government, opposed it.
Speaker Naone was opposed to the
repeal up to the time he cast his vote.
He believed the bill was a good one, and
the penalty could be enforced if the
Government wished it. A change OF
feeling came over him when the roll
was called.
