may yet result to the advantage of the
an adjournment sine die, but the action
of the Republicans in putting over the
session until this morning gave breath
| ing time, and what may result today
is a question. In the Lower House the
| Independents won their fight, having a
majority of two, and sent to the Senate
a message saying that they We're ready
to adjourn without delay. The message
came too late, however as the Senate
had just passed the adjournment mo-
ton of Brown, after a hot round.
The scene of the greatest activity was
| in the Lower House. There were
speeches by both sides but the leader
ship was moving about so fast that it
was hard to tell just how it would re-
suit, though there was a majority
which did not want to do anything but
go home. Despite the failure of the
Independents to hold caucus, there
was an understanding that no business
was to be done. This was shown when
the body got down to business. The
first motion was one by Robertson to
suspend the rules so that he could in
lTOuuGb Il Oil. ne Sdlu lIldl the Oil ne
was going to offer was one providing
for the use of the loan which probably
would be authorized by the President.
He said that it was necessary that
such a measure would pass and that
it would be unwise to fail to provide
some such legislation.
Before a vote could be taken there

With a deadlock between the two
Houses of the Legislature there is little
chance that in the extended session the
members will do the things for which
they We're asked to remain. The dead
lock is over an adjournment sine die,
the House being ready to take leave
and the Senate never coming to a vote
upon the subject. The end might have
come on Saturday if the four Republic
ans who attended the session had stay
ed and kept a quorum, but that was
just what they would not do, and as a
result the Senate had to adjourn until
this morning.
Senator Kalauokalani said last even
ing that he was in favor of the passage
of the bill which provides for the pay
ment of the unpaid debts of the Depart
ment of Public Works. He was ready,
he said, to take this stand on Satur-
day, if the Republicans had stayed in
their seats He will try and persuade
his friends that this is the course to
follow, today, but he admitted that
there was some doubt as to his ability
to secure the support of his party in
the matter. The desire seems to be to
go home. Senator White pines for La
haina and is continually making the
motion to adjourn sine die, and he will
endeavor to prevent any action on the
motion to proceed to the consideration
of the bill.
The Independents received an addition
to their forces yesterday in the person
of Senator Kaohi who returned from
Hawaii. This will give that party six
if all attend the session this
The Republicans expect to
have the same number in their seats,
and if it appears that there is a tie
vote, there will be a session; otherwise
1t Is expected that the tactics of Satur-
day will be repeated
The House will not meet until We'd
nesday, put when that day arrives it Is
possible that there will not be a quorum
IF the body, as many of the out-of-town
members say they Will not stay here
any longer, but will go home In the
boat. The members of the
Lower House are very much put out by
he failure of the Upper House to quit
business, for they insist that they will
lot work during this session; that they
ire tired of being kept in Honolulu at
added expense 10 themselves and no
prospect that any good can be accom-
lished; that they want an extra ses-
lion or nothing
