had never resigned and more especial
Iy as if he had not attended that eau
Gus last evening. which, as newspapers
would say in their advertising columns,
was personally conducted by senator
White.
"Nick," who was reported late last
night as having joined the Republican
members, had evidently got cold feet
and dressing down. There was
time when even his polticsI opponents
considered him of some consequence,
but when at the meeting of the Senate
yesterday morning he took the chair,
after his utterauces on Wednesday he
was simply classified with political
time servers and humbugs.
But there he sat and, after Ions
debate. which was of rather mild ma
ture, the discussion of his resignation
was put over until Monday next.
on Tuesday, as 1t will be remembered,
the medical politician stormed and
roarcd and swore that the Senate could
table his resignation "ol under or
above" the table, as long as he had the
floor, and yesterday morning he had
his fiery resignation postponed and
took the chair which Senator Kaiue
likes so well.
1t was not difficult TO find the reason
of the whole trouble. 1t was simply "A

Gus and sad puzzle for that unhappy
vice president who. in spite of his init
mate knowledge of Whites tactics,
thought he had got the easy chair of
the president of the Senate.
Notice had been given that the 5000
bill for Legislative expenditures had
been signed by the Governor. and that
all the Senators needed to do was to
press the button and the treasury de-
partment would do the rest.
Senator Baldwin, who knows his Ha-
waiian compatriots, succeeded in max
ing them do little business before adj
journing and, through his exquisite
tact, he held them together until II .35,
when an adjournment till tomorrow
was taken. Senator White wanted to
have the Senate meet tomorrow at 9:3O
q. m. Senator Carter saw Oily Bill
folding his salary draft and, shaking
his head, moved to make 1t 10 a. m,
because he felt sure the Lahaina man
wouldn't think of being around before
that hour. Lahaina smiled and said
"kokua" and it will be 10 a. m. before
what is left of the Senate appears this
morning,
In the meantime the following bust
ness had been done:
Mr.. Kalauokalani reported for the
printing committee that Senate bill 81
had been printed and was ready for
distribution.
Then the moment Of peace came and
the glad hand was the order of the
day, when Secretary Caypless, his face
wreathed In smiles, announced that the
following communication from the Sec
rotary of the Territory was received:
Il have the honor to inform you that
the Governor signed, this day, Act l,
entitled, AN act to appropriate money
for the purpose of defraying the ex-
penses of the session of the Legislature
of the Territory of Hawaii of the year
1901 from the public treasury"
The dignity of the Senate was pre-
served, however, although some of the
honorable gentlemen seemed to be seat
ed on uneasy chairs, but in spite of

of his intention to introduce IAN act
