Those who betook themselves to-
the Senate chamber yesterday morn
ing expecting to find themselves plung-
ed into the midst of uproarious debate
and its attendant exciting scenes were
treated to a bitter dose of disappoint-
ment.
The gathering of legislators in the
upper house was as totally devoid of
spectacular features as Presbyterian
picnic upon rainy day. The session
was one OF extreme brevity. as wen
as uneventful. There was an entire
absence OF long-winded debates upon
trivial legislative matters, which in
itself was truly refreshing
Quite a delegation of spectators
gathered at the bungalow loft, evident
ly scenting trouble. There had been
a considerable quantity of hot air..
expended in regard to the Senate TAX
ing up the deposition of Charles Will
cox from the. secretaryship of the
Board of Health. Then again others
were interested in the differences of
opinion existing between DIR. Russell
and the several champions of the mill
tary. The recent ruling of President
Kaiue, with the desertion from the
Independent ranks of both Kaiue and
White was still green in the memory
of many.
Nevertheless the promised resolu-
ton, of DR.. Russell was not forthcom-
ing. Again no reference was made to
the Wilcox matter. DR.. Russell mean
while sat back in his chair with a
| merry twinkle in his eyes. sawed
| quantity of wood, but said nothing
Knowing ones in the Senate sagely
nodded their heads and promised some
| fun at subsequent sessions.
The clerk never got past the calling
for reports in the order of the day
The resuming of legislative activity
after day given over to general cele-
bration was not an altogether joyous
task for several senators.
Before motion for adjournment was
made Mr.. Kalauokalani introduced the
following resolution, calling for road
appropriation, which was read and
laid upon the table to be considered
! with the Appropriation bill:
Resolved, That the sum of $500 be
inserted in the Appropriation bill for
the road from Hinaikamalama, Mo
lopa. Honolulu. Island of Oahu, which
runs from Nuuanu street to the stream
and then back to the boundary of the
| street named. fifty voters of the To-
cality named having petitioned for
such road during the regular session
and this petition having been laid on
the table to be considered with the
Appropriation bill.
He then offered the following, which
received similar disposition:
Whereas, on the fortieth day IF
the regular session, the Committee on
Public Lands reported on a petition
signed by the voters of this city and
asking for the extension of Fort street
to the Pauoa road, and
Whereas, said committee recon-
mended that an item of S70,0 900 be set
aside for the purpose named. now
therefore
