est During Half Day Session

The lawmakers in both houses put in
Saturday forenoon in most per-
functory way, and the afternoon at the
race track. The Senate inserted several
items in the Appropriation BILL which,
by this time is beginning to resemble
lower House put the forenoon in con-
sidering the pay of the different deputy
sheriffs of the islands. Neither branch
of the Legislature was in good working
order, and the motion to adjourn at
IL o'clock met with a hearty welcome
in both instances.
When the Senate met on Saturday
morning, Mr.. Achi called the attention
of that body to the fact that there
were several items that should be in
the bill that until that time had been
omitted. The major portion of the
morning was taken up with this work,
uninteresting in itself, but necessary
to the Home Rtile ideas Of proper Gov
eminent.
During the morning Senator Kalau-
okalani brought in a resolution asking
that $1,000 be appropriated for road
in Nuuanu Valley. A similar petition
from DR.. Russell asked the Legislature
to appropriate the sum of $4,000 for
road in Olaa. This, as we'll as the pre-
ceding one, passed the celebrating
body without any dissention on the part
of any Of the members.
The Senate adjourned at twelve until
Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
Achi made a motion to have water
mains laid through the Fifth district.
He said that these will be much needed
in case there was a quarantine de-
clared in the city. The request was
granted. Following this came another
motion of similar nature from
Senator, who asked that the district in
which he resides, and which is beyond
the one in which Achi lives, be allowed
an appropriation of $4,000 for the bet
ter maintenance of its water supply.

The House of Representatives is de-
termined to see why one of its members
was "wantonly insulted' by the Wilder
Steamship Company on Wednesday
last. A committee delegated with the
power to engage a hack, regardless of
expense, was told to look into the mat
ter and report the result of their in
quiries to the house at the end of five
days.
The salary of the Attorney General
was then taken up. No change in the |
figures, $1,000, was made The salary
of the Assistant Attorney General was
fixed at $4,000. The salary of the clerk

officer was placed at S., 400. The deputy
sheriff was placed on a salary of $4,000 |
The clerk to the high sheriff was an
propriated $500. The salaries of the |
different deputy sheriffs came up for
discussion at this point, and after a war |
OF words, it was decided to place them |
in the third reading unaltered, from the
previous reading. The salary of the
Supreme Court officer was stricken out.
The salary of the hack inspector was.
on the motion of Monserrat, raised from,
S2,40o to $4,000, Monserrat urging as his
reason, that the man was a ull-blooded |
The suggestion was taken
up and acted on in hurry. To say that
