House of Representatives Sets Aside
$45,OO0 for Its Spending.
ANOTHER BARRIER PLACED IN WAY
OF TERRITORIAL SECRETARY COOPER
Legislature Adourn Early the Afternoon in Recognition of the
Inauguration of President Mckinley at
Washington

ESPITE the fact that the House
ID adjourned yesterday shortly
before o'clock, the business
transacted was of much i'm
portance to the members, especially the
passage of the Appropriation bill, by
which $4,000 Is made available for the
use of the Legislature for its expenses.
There was little difficulty in securing
it's passage on the third reading, and
most of the hands were raised in favor
of the bill almost before the speaker
could put the motion. There were
three, however who for some reason
did not vote In the affirmative. One of
them, Kaniho, seems "ag'in" the world
in general and 1t Is limited that he has
q bad liver.
This same member voted in the aft
ernoon against adjourning in honor of
the inauguration of President McKin-
ley, the only man out of thirty who
did so.
The House also repealed the resolu-
ton passed few days since by which
the House proceedings were to be
printed daily and placed upon the desks
of the members to be scanned by them

! the House did not do it, the Secretary
of the Territory would. The Secretary
already had tenders for this business.
He advocated having them printed
daily, so as to have them on their
desks daily. The truth was that by
this course the clerks would be saved
the writing up of the journal. The
printing of the journal each day did
not necessltate any new setting up of
the type, the alterations being made
by lifting the type. The House wouid
be going out of it's way by making
more business than before, and the
clerks would have their hands full. lie
consulted the newspaper which fur
nished the lowest estimates or cost, and
the manager said the journal could be
printed easily without extra cost at the
rate of 100 copies daily. He was not
in favor of reconsideration.
MoSSman said the statement of EN-
meluth was quite comprehensive to his
mind. According to the explanation it
seemed If minutes were required daily
for consideration for correction, the
House did not trust it's clerk. If it had
confidence in the clerk the House could
make it's corrections as the delibera-
tions progressed. The speaker ruled
Mossman out of order. Neither Emme-
luth nor MoSSman had u right to
speak. Mossman interrogated the
speaker on this point. Makekau
thought 1t was the proper time to re-
consider the motion. The speaker
thought the matter should come up
under the head of resolutions Moss
man sat down Modified.
Beckley introduced a communication
from MakaWao. 1t was an estimate
for the roads in the district which was
furnished to the superintendent of
Public Works. The latter official had
cut down his estimates materially, al
though the figures furnished were very
conservative. Makawao district was
large. One hundred and Sixty miles of
road required immediate attention. The
majority of the roads ran along Hale
akala in steep ascents. The rain does
more or less damage to the poor dirt
roads. A large sum of money is need
ed. The recent rains caused terrific

so taxed that he had had no time to
prepare any report upon the quaran-

he would be ready today He would
then report on the communication from
fifty-two residents of Molokai. The
speaker gave him five days time.

cation in regard to bills Nos g. 9 and

NOTICES OF
MANY BILLS
Senator'S Preparing Te
Do Land-OffiCe
Business.

"HE effects of the voyage 10 Molo-
II kai, and the consequences of the
return trip Sunday night, were ap-
parent on the faces of many of the
Senators as they took their accus-
toned places in the Senate chamber
yesterday morning. Perhaps It was
! due to this tired feeling that the bus1-
ness of the day was transacted in a
I quiet and business-like manner, and
that there was no evidence of party
feeling, or the long discussions which
have marked their previous sessions.
/ Two of the Republican Senators gave
! notice of a number of bins which they
are ready to present for Senatorial
sanction, and the body is now ready
| for the important work before il. The
effect of the rules so long discussed
knows his position, and was able tt
hold the meeting in check with firm
hand.
! Senator Brown gave notice of his In
! tention to introduce a number Of bills
dealing mostly with the Penal ant
! Ilvil laws, and read them rapidly
! from memoranda which he had prepar
. ed. When he had finished and they
were taken to the Secretary by the
messenger, Caypless refused a reQues
of the newspaper reporters to TAKE
1 copies of them, saying that under the
rules he could not permit any paper:
to leave his hands.
His actions later made it Self-eViden
that this was done in order to protec
an evening paper whose city editor
occupies the position of assistant Sec
retary, and at the same time prepare:
the copy" for his paper AT the eX
pense of the Government.
The type written list of the bills wa!
handed over to his table at once anC
the assistant secretary was soon busy
copying them. The reporters went t.
/ CaypleSs after the morning session anC
explained to him that his actions wer,
without precedent, and that it was Gus
tomary in all legislative sessions L
permit members of the press to SCI
the copies of resolutions and bills pre-
sented in order that the public nigh
be informed of the work of the meI
whom they had elected to the position
of Senator and Representative. Cay
pleSS insisted that he could not perml
them to leave his hands, and disclaim
ed any intention of favoring one pape
more than another.
That the paper was so favored 1
evident, for the fact remains that tn
paper whose city editor occupies
position in the Senate was able [
publish a list of the bills TO be intro
duced. and a fun text Of the resolu
tions presented, while its contemporar
appeared in print without them, bein
unable to secure the original copies /

Actions of this kind do not appear we
to the public, who are interested in th
work of the Legislature, and should nc

OPENING CIRCUIT
COURT DELAYED
Legal Party Left in Honolulu
by Early Departure
of Hall.

Deputy Attorney General CathcartS In
terpreter Chester Doyle and D. H. Case,
stenographer for the Circuit Court, failed
to go TO Kauai yesterday afternoon on
the W. G. Hall, to attend the opening of
the Circuit Court term at Lihue. The
expectation was that the Hall would
leave for the Garden Isle this afternoon
The Deputy Attorney General telephon-
ed to the Inter-Island office about 4
o'clock yesterday, asking them to be
sure about his berth on the Hall for to-
day, when he was startled by the infor-
nation that the Hall had already left
Honolulu. Chester Doyle was in a pill
kia when he heard Of the steamers de-
parture, as he had previously under
stood that she would not leave until this
afternoon. Another steamer leaves for
Kauai tomorrow and the legal party will
take passage by her.

with reference to criminal jurisdiction,
on which he had given notice. He
moved the bill be read for the first
time by title. An act covering crimi.
nal jurisdiction of district magistrates.
Upon motion of it's author the bill
passed it's first reading.
Dickey gave notice of intention to
introduce several bills: An act empow-
j ering district magistrates to issue COM
missions to take testimony, an act pro-
vfding for judgments by default In

suits upon contracts before district
magistrates, and an act relating to de-
sertion of husband or wife.
Robertson wanted to introduce a bill
relating TO practice and procedure in
criminal cases, and amending sections
l 2 and 4, of chapter 49, of the SeS-
sion Laws of 1876, and moved it be
read for the first time by title, which
was done. He also gave notice of his
intention to introduce several bills,
among which was one relating to the
sale of alcohol amending section 10,
and repeating sections TO- 13 and IA, OF
act Ga, of the Session Laws of 1896; also,
an act to amend section of chapter /.
of the Penal Code, defining feionles and
miSdemeanorS. IS
Keliikoa gave notice of. his Intention
to introduce n bill as follows: An act
10 construct a railroad from Kailua,
North Kona, to Pahala, Kau.
Makekau asked for the resolution
which provided for the selection of S.
K. Pua as general clerk for the House,
introduced by j. Emmeluth March L.
The resolution was read in full. Ma
kekau said new idea had come to his
mind to reconsider the daily journal
business. He thought that the House
distrusted the clerk. 1t was not prop
er. The Governor must sign II before
it goes to the Secretary. He thought
Cooper was trying to crawl into the
House again. He wanted it thrown
out. Emmeluth constantly reminded
Makekau that the signing of the bills
cut no figure in the making up of the
journal. Upon a call for the raising
of hands the matter was thrown out,
and the journal will not be printed as
heretofore ordered.
Mossman moved the second reading
of act /, which was as follows: An
Act to appropriate money for the ses-
sion of the Legislature of Hawaii for
1901 The bill provides for the appro-
priation of s45, 900. AS the vote was be-
ing called by the usual sign, Dickey
arose to a point of order, as the bill
in it's third and last reading should
have been passed by the calling of the
ayes and noes. The vote stood 26 ayes
and noes, as follows: Ayes-Ahulii
Aylett, Beckley, Dickey, Emmeluth

AFTERNOON SESSION.

At 1:45 yesterday afternoon the
House adjourned in honor of the inau-
guration of Mckinley and Roosevelt,
the motion being made by Representa-
tive Dickey. Mr.. Dickey did not grow
eloquent over the occasion, but made
his motion in few straightforward
words. He said:
This is the day of the inauguration
of the President and Vice President
of the United States, and l move that
we do adjourn out of respect 10 the
President of the United States"
The motion was greeted with cho-
rus of ''kokuas" and seconds" When
the speaker put the motion TO the
House the ayes came out in full force,
and only as matter or custom did
the speaker ask for the contrary votes,
when to the CONSERVATION of the House
members, Kaniho entered a lone, soil
tary mo-" An instant later the mem
bers laughed at the spectacle of the
one lone man, against the nine and
twenty others, and one said soto voce,
That's one way of getting notoriety
in the Legislature-vote against the
majority, alone"
The adjournment was taken until Il
o'clock this morning.
