The Senate wants to know how many
days it has been working. AS mat
ter of fact the public cannot find out
that it has been working at all. 1t has
been in session, however The Organic
Act is very clear as to the duration
of the session every day has to be
counted except Sundays and holidays.
The Senate majority may refuse to
abide by this ruling, but the result will
be that any acts passed after the legal
time of session has expired will be
thrown out by the courts as illegal.
There is a reflex action upon legisla-
ton which some legislators do not seem
to understand.

The presence of the Donau in port
recalls memories of her older name
sake, which visited the port Of Honoi
lulu some thirty years ago. DR.. Hoff-
man was then Austrian Consul and
entertained the first Austrian ship
which entered these waters with a
lavish hospitality. The ship was here
for many months and the doctor in
stituted a regular weekly dance. There
was a simplicity and heartiness about
the entertainments of those days, which
is entirely lacking in the present. Thai
was the time when Honolulu had its
peculiar charm, but the bloom has beer
gone from the peach for years.

The possible loss of the fishing boat
with four Portuguese on board is very
sad. The men have large families who
will be left without any means of sup

have been picked up by some Island
steamer or schooner. Still there is just
bare chance.

A grand jury for the Federal Court

will not be so much personal animus
shown in the charge of that body, as
has been shown in some of charges to
some of the Territorial grand juries.

is most positive in it's determination
not to permit any modification of the

this direction. The Platt amendment
is a law of the land, and it cannot be
changed except by congress.
