/ A nj casual spectator IN the Senate
i A on Saturday would have thought
"A the meetings of that august body
were held in -Bedlam and not in
/ the merry bungalow. None of the Sen
ators seemed to find their seats uncom-
Portable and at all times during the ses-
Il sion not less than three or four solons
were on their feet at one time and ad-
dressing the bewildered President. SEN
ator White did not sit down for one
moment during; the meeting of the Sen
4 ate fact which may be accounted for,
h perhaps by boils.
Senator Carter had recovered the use
of his injured leg and was able to kick
on numerous occasions, and the safety
valve of the unruly body of legislators,
Senator Baldwin, did not put in an APP
pearance.
The excitement of the Senators was
caused by the muchly wanted and bad
ly needed bill providing for an appro-
priation for the expenditures of the
legislature.
Not word of opposition to the meas
ure has been heard from the minority
or from the Governor, who only asks
that the bill be presented to him in
such form that he can sign it and
allow ii to become law. I'VE will do
anything" cried Senator White, "if we
can get the bill through now and 'ketch'
the coin this afternoon" and then he
made numerous motions and withdrew
them all, and after many attempts to
get down to business the Senate ad-
journed and White & Co. had to assume
the Painful duty of calling on the finan-
ciai hackers of the Home Unrulies. in
stead of on the treasury, for the week
y supply of the stuff which buys the
gin and the squid, SO dear to the heart
Of us kamaainas."
The chaplain of the Senate had not
anticipated any trouble, so he made his
prayer short, and the secretary, who
can read minutes and anything else
in a record breaking manner, did not
delay the business of the Senate.
kalauokalani moved that the rules
be suspended. The motion carried, and
the Father of His Country wanted
the now celebrated "S45. 900 for legisla-
tors" bill reconsidered. All were jubi-
liant, and it looked as If peaceful ses-
sion was in sight. He presented the
following report for the committee on
enrolment, revision and printing, to
whom had been referred the joint reso-
luton of Mr.. White, introduced in the
Senate to take the place of House Bill
No. /:
Your committee met with the Gov
eTnor and discussed the resolution and,
as a result of this discussion, your
committee decided, with the consent
OF this House, to return the resolution
10 the House with the report that
nothing had been done"
The learned eX-magistrate from Mo-

most courteous suggestion to drop the

senator White started moving. He
moved that House amendments to the
bill before the Senate be concurred in
by the Senate, and that the bill pass
i us third reading. The motion carried,
