him.
Monsarrat wanted to know If j +.
Brown had been in receipt of "a salatS
during this time Mr.. Emmeluth thought
that Monsarrat should have added, and
who is paying his expenses on his pres
ent trip?'
Kekaula introduced a resolution that
the Sergeant-at-Arms furnish every
member of the House with fifty 2-c"nt
stamps. A chorus of "kokuas" greeted
it, but everybody was against 1t.

The Legislature could not instruct the |
Governor as to what he should do, and |
he did not think the resolution should |
be adopted.
Emmeluth, while not agreeing with |
Dickey, still thought the resolution |
should be laid on the table. to be con-
sidered with the public lands bill.
Robertson said a few days ago some |
members with red fire and cheap ora |
tory We're so thin-skinned they would not
allow a member of the Executive branch
to sit in the House. But they had for
gotten that, and now We're trying to die |
tate how the Governor should run his
branch of the Government. The Speaker
attempted to interrupt Robertson. Rob |
ertson protested, but the Speaker rode /
over Robertson rough shod. Emmeluth
called the Speaker to account by telling |
him he should state the motion, as it
was made The report was upon vote
tabled.
Monsarratt presented "A resolution to
change the hours of converting from 10
a. IN. to a. m, as the 60-day limit was
entirely too short to complete the House
business. Makekau moved the resolution
go into effect Immediately upon adoption. !
kaniho wanted to have a little time to
consider the matter as he had an amend
ment ready to commence work at s
o'clock.
The o'clock resolution was adopted.
After several motions that the House
take recess or to adjourn until Mon
day, it was decided to adjourn for the
day, and meet this morning at . O'clock
Speaker Akina is the friend of the
newspaper men, and it is evident that
they are his friends, as well, as shown
by the following note which he sent to
the press table Saturday morning:
To the Representatives of the Press.

at receiving a package of cards bearing
my name as Speaker of the House of
Representatives. of the Territory of Ha-
wall. and desire to thank the members
of the Press of this young Territory for

! hand you each one of the cards.
JOSEPH A. AKINA,
Speaker of the House.
