LEGISLATOR TO WED.
Kumuiae Will Be Married During
Extra Session.

Tuesday fortnight will find, at all
events, one Representative absent from
his seat in the lower house
Jonah Kumulae will be the absentee,
and the occasion will be a momentous
one in the legislators career. The
sergeant at arms will look in vain for
Jonah on the 2Sth instant, and the MI
nority will seek his vote IN hopeless
ness. for twill "be his wedding morn
ing" True 1t is that the ceremony
of uniting Mr.. Kumulae with the chos-
en- partner of his Joys, Miss Lena Aha
ma, has been announced FOR the even
ing of that date, in order that the
fellow members OF the groom may be
able TO attend in a body, but It is
hardly to be expected that Kumulae
VIII be in the humor or condition to
listen to the dry statistics OF commit
tee reports.
Rumor says that a subscription for
wedding present of suitable proper
ttons Is already circulating among the
throne room occupants. and that an
ardent reception will be accorded the
blushlng benedict on his first appear
ance after his nuptials.

the receipt OF your communication Of

day did the recent session or the Legis-
lature expire by time limit? 90 May
a bin be received and acted on by the
Governor subsequent to the expiration
Of the session OF the Legislature in
which 1t was euacted?"
The first two lines Of section g. Of
the Organic Act declare that each

Guiding Sundays and holidays"
As 1 understand, the Legislature
convened February goth. Counting the
days on the calendar 1t had continued
sixty days at midnight, April goth, eX-
elusive of Sundays. During this time
Wushington's birthday, February 22d,
/ .tervened February 22d is not a
statutory holiday either by the laws
of this Territory, or the laws of the
United States, unless in the District OF

about three fourths of the States and
Territories. ! doubt If the word holt
day, as used in the Organic Act, is linn
tied exclusively to statutory holidays.
But to be a holiday, without statutory
enactment it must be such by settled
and general usage; "A day set apart for
festivities, recreation or ceremonial in
which the ordinary occupations Of the
community are suspended, generally

In regard to your second question, It

IT HAS a FIGHTING CHANCE ON
The ISSUE or THE
COAL TAX.
Strongly Attacked by Sir william

Hicks Beach Calamity Defends
the MeasIre-Trzde Affected.

LONDON, May 3--The debate on
the coal tax began in the House OF
Commons yesterday Thursday. but
the fate Of the measure is in doubt
Mr.. Balfour was determined TO get
a vote on the coal tax before the
house rose, and he rejected Sir VIII
liam Vernon Harcourt's private appeal
for a postponement- At late hour.
however, SO many members were
anxious TO speak that the Speaker
gave it TO De understood that he would
not consent to an application of the
closure. The Government was, there
fore, reluctantly compelled to yield.
The result of the division is by no
means certain. Sir Michael Hicks
Beach's strong and effective speech in,
defense of the tax delighted his col
leagues. At the same time it was felt
that he gave an unsound argument
when he pleaded the enormous pro-
fits of the coal owners as justifica-
ton of the new tax. 1t is pointed out
that the Radicals used the same argu-
ment when demanding the taxation of
ground rents. and that iflarge profits
justify attacks, lean profits would
equally justify state assistance.
There was a large attendance in
the House of Commons today in an
ticipation of the discussion on the
new export tax on coal.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Lib
eral, led with a severe, almost violent
arraignment of the Government. He
said the tax would throw the coal
trade into chaos and confusion. II
was nonsense to say the foreigner
would pay the tax because he would
not do without coal The Govern
ment of Italy had answered that plea
by taking coal from America instead
of this country. The trade of France
was equally divided between thi:
country. Germany and Belgium.

THE RAILROAD DEALS.
Wild Speculation Over Union Pacific
and Atchison.

Wild Speculation Over Union Pacific
and Atchison.
NEW YORK. May 1.-The friends Of
E. H. Hartman declared confidently
today that the control of the Union
Pacific Railroad had not passed to 9TH
ers Mr. Hartman himself said he
certainly had not let go of anything
that he had held.
The belief prevalent in Wall street
since Monday that Vanderbilt or other
interests had succeeded in acquiring
a majority of the Union Pacific shares
was weakened by the confident tone
of Mr.. Harriman's friends.
There is good reason to believe that
the Vanderbilt and affiliated interests
have secured a large piece of the
stock and that even II there is NO
change in control there will be an ar
rangement designed to protect the in
terests of The vanderbilts.
About the middle of today's session
the Atchison movement became wild
in much the same way as that Of
Union Pacific yesterday, and Atchisor
was forced up by nearly twelve points
over last night to So. Buyers profess
ed a belief that the road was to bt
included in a transcontinental pro
iect to Offset the Burlington deal.
The extraordinary trading In stool
of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa F.
Railroad revived the rumors that tn
