After the reading 60 tne report, SEN

be- adopted.
This motion opened the npodgates of
oratory. which took up the balance OF
the session.
Senator Achi rose to "a point OF or
der. and said according to the Organic
Act this Legislature had no right to
do away with the military, and ac-
cording to the section referred to the
Senate had no business to try to do
away with the military. as It was a ne
ccssity.

Senator Achi then made a speech in
Hawaiian, which was not interpreted.
During the Senator's speech. Senator
Kanuha was seen to be diligently pc
rusing the Organic Act, and finally hit
upon something which evidently gave
him a great deal of satisfaction. for
turning around to Senator Russell he
in an undertone, Look at
that; they can't bluff me-"
At the conclusion of Senator Achrs
speech in Hawaiian, which for some
probably known only to Inter
prefer Bush, was not translated, Sena-
tor Crabbe rose, and in convincing
speech, declared the only report to be
considered by the Senate, was the mi
nority report.
Kanuha's report, said Senator Carter,
was like an explanation given by
professor of mathematics at a college
he attended in the States. A discussion
arose during a class meeting as to how
and why a ball thrown by a person
would make the in and out curves. IA
miliar to every lover of baseball. After
going into an exhaustive explanation
as to what caused the in-curve, the
professor was brought to a standstill
by member of the class declaring
that the supposed in-curve was an out
shoot. The professor could not right
himself with the class, and SO it was
with Senator Kanuha's report-there
was nothing to it. II am opposed" "i

joints, or to be more polite, such
club as is run next door. | quite agree
with the Senator that such conditions
ought not to exist, and the place should
be removed before the next session of
the Legislature. The cost of the mill
port, is not much-s36OO for two years
that is only $4,000 year. quite a
contrast from Senator Kanuha's alleg- |
ed $4,000 a year expenditure

"A word in regard to the United

d Senator Carter. They would not

discussion on the two reports be de-

'as not seconded.
Senator Kalauokalani exploded few

Military branch of the government, he
