The Proceedings of the Senate
and House at Yesterdays
Busy Session.

The Senate yesterday morning, at
the suggestion of oily Biz White
tabled the resolution protesting against
the annexing of the Territory of Ha-
wah to the State of California. There
was considerable time spent in discuss
ing the matter, and it was only after
members had been granted the
privilege Of the floor that the question
was disposed of as stated
In the afternoon the Senate bill was
taken in hand once more, with the usual
changing and readjusting. while the
usual amount OF talking and noisy
sparring were INDUCED in

MORNING SESSION.
The Senate worked its brains and its
jaws yesterday morning over concur
rent resolution No. l.. which resents the
alleged attempt to annex the Territory
of Hawaii to the State of California
oily Biz White threw himself into
the fray with a vengeance, and did what
he could to kill the resolution. He was
not successful in his attempt; for the
measure was placed on the
table, and will in a few days come up
for consideration once more.
AS soon as the bill had been read
Senator J. Brown moved that the con-
current resolution pass. He was follow
ed by Mr. Carter, who suggested that
copies of the resolution be sent to the
heads of the Legislature at Sacrament
who said that this work would be but
so much additional expense.
White made a vigorous assault on
the resolution. He declared that there
was no attempt being made to annex
the Territory of Hawaii to the State of
California, and that to take notice of
the so-called movement he called it,
would result in actual harm to the peo-
-, condition n
things in Hawaii.
It was at this point that Mr.. Brown
withdrew his motion. and the resolu-
ton was tabled.
The salary bill from the House came
up from the House and was compared
item for item with that Of the Senate.
The Senators professed TO be very
much shocked at the extravaganza Of
the Lower House, and congratulated
themselves upon what they called their
frugality.
