Beckley spoke in English and Inter-

telligible to others who had failed to
grasp its meaning.
Monsarrat Of Kona seconded the mo-
ton and it was carried.
Secretary Meheula then read the
Declaration of independence In a sonor-
Gus voice. Long experience as a chant
er in the congregation OF St. Andrew
cathedral had given him power and
skill in accumulation and he did we'll.
Many Of his audience who were un-
familiar with the famous document and
who understood English listened at

of the latest design with patent sponge

SCENES IN THE
:. T. { LOWER HOUSE

n rEhs ENI prayer IN Hawaiian by
N Rev. Mr.. Kamoku. the chaplain
IA opened the session of the House
~, of Representatives yesterday.
Roll call followed. Secretary Meheula,
who had only a day ago dropped the
stick and rule of the typesetter was a
trlfle off in his names.
He called the name OF George Hons.
Hons did not reply. He would have
liked to but unfortunately he had not
been elected and is still practicing law
in Wailuku, far from the madding
crowd. One Dickey was the successful
candidate for Representative in the
race that Hons made and Secretary
Meheula did not call Dickey's name at
all. He asked for Hons twice and then
Dickey. who had listened patiently for
his eOSnomen to be uttered arose and
said; II hear the name of Hons. Hons
Is not In this House. Lam the man."
The mistake was repaired after Ma
kekau OF Hawaii informed the House of
Hons plight. John Emmeluth did not
answer to the roll but entered a few
minutes later with a deep melancholy
seated on his countenance. 1t is said
that Emmeluth bears the whole weight
OF coming legislation on his mind and
that 1t hurts him.
The minutes of Wednesdays session
were read in English and Hawaiian
occupying with the prayer and roll call
from 10 until IL o'clock.

F THE House of Representatives
refuses to allow Secretary of the
Territory Cooper the right to sit
on its floor and make a daily
journal of its proceedings, 1t will
make invalid all its acts, say leading
Republican lawyers. But the House
seems determined to do It, and, after
arguing the matter most of yesterday,
adjourned until Saturday morning at
10 o'clock, when 1t will take it up
again
Beyond much talk on Cooper's right
opportunity to note the doings and
sayings of the House, that body did
little except to hear the Declaration of
Independence read. The Home Rulers
do not want their proceedings recorded
for the Presidents eye except by their
own secretary, who makes a mere
skeleton of the motions ana actions.
Cooper believes it his duty TO send
Washington full account of the
Houses daily work.
The Governors message is still un-
read to either the House or Senate.
Idle talk and slow work marked the
day in the Senate, and with many to-
day IL Is a question as to whether In
terpreter Bush or Senator Russell Is
the presiding officer. Time after time
the chairman turned to Bush and ask
ed for his advice on some question:
and more often the chair was assisted
by some member of the Senate from
his seat. Unable to make decision
whenever perplexlng question pre-
scented itself. President Russell delayed
the work of the body, and original mo-
tons were lost sight of in bewilder-
ing manner.
John T.. Bush, who was elected to the
position Of interpreter after a hard
fight between the two factions, inter-
preted what in his own mind was the
gist of the speeches and often did not
interpret at all many of the short SEN
fences uttered by the Senators. When
two or more speakers would rise to
their feet at the same time, it was
Bush who would recognize them, and
often would raise his hand in mute
protest as the debates waxed warm.
The Independents precipitated a fight
that grew into Il lengthy and weari-
some discussion when William H.
Coney was nominated for the position
of assistant secretary through their
leader. Senator william White. BY
their superior weight they were en-
abled to carry 1t through. though sew
eral Of the Independents weakened and
were hard to keep in line.
The Independents carried the day
and permitted the Republicans to score
only when 1t pleased them. and, by the
results of their work. 1t Is evident that
they have done much more careful
preliminary work than their opponents
