Bulk Of Last Attempted Business
May Be Left Unfinished
One Day More.

IHeIe was an air OF expectancy ABOUT
the Senate chamber on Saturday morn
ing, as it was the day set for consid-
ering the Governors appointments. A.
large crowd had gathered, occupying
every available chair set aside for
spectators. But the expectant public
was doomed to disappointment. After
the ordinary routine business was dis
posed of and few bills passed. the
Senate went into executive session, the
Senate chamber, halls and veranda be-
ing cleared by the sergeant at arms OF
all but members and officers Of the
Senate. The executive session lasted
just fifteen minutes, when adjournment
was taken until this morning at 10
o'clock.
1t is fruitless to conjecture what the
result of today's deliberations will be,
because no one knows, and no one can
make even guess. 1t is probable the
short executive session of Saturday
was fruitful only in developing the fact
that there would be a bitter and de-
termined fight against the Governor.
Thus is it is highly probable that ac-
tive legislation Is at an end, and the
balance of the session will be given
over to acrimonious and useless de-
bate. Valuable as time Is the Senate
took a half holiday, doubtless to pre-
pare for the coming fight.
There were two bills passed, namely:
House Bill So, by Gilfillan, an Act to
authorize and regulate the placing OF
electric wires and poles of Oahu Ice &c
Electric Company on the streets OF Ho-
nolulu and elsewhere on the Island Of
Oahu.
House Bill SO, by Mossman. an Act
to authorize the Hawaiian Fuel ana
Gas Company to exercise certain rights
lin Honolulu.
Under suspension of rules, the COM
mittee on investigation of the leper set
| tlement made a very long report Of It's
findings. Its recommendations are of
| especial interest, as they will become
matters for consideration with the ap-
preparation bill. The balance of the
report perishes with the expiration or
| the regular session, now closing, and
therefore, of no interest. The recon-
mendations are as follows:
| 1. That three commissioners be ap-
| pointed to superintend the affairs OF
the settlement, one of these to be ap-
! pointed by the Board of Health, one to
be elected by the lepers. and the third
I
ry is fixed at $50 per month.
2. That an item be inserted IN the ap-
| preparation bill for increasing the wa
! ter supply of the settlement.
! 3. That the government charter q
vessel for the settlement with the un-
| derstanding that it does the work OF
/ the Board of Health and nothing else.
| 4. That the present goods in the store
! at Kalaupapa be disposed of at cost
or at a loss, IL necessary, as some OF
the material stored there is unfit for
use.
5. That all those inmates of the set
tlement whose disease has been arrest
/ ed, be discharged after thorough bac-
THEOLOGICAL examination.
| s. That an effort be made to obtain
better beef for the settlement.
The following recommendation was
/ also made:
| That the board take charge of all
/ taro planting at the settlement: that
the freight of the lepers, merchandise
excluded, be carried free of charge;
that the Board attend to the white
washing OF all the houses at Kalau-
papa; that home near Honolulu be
provided for clean children of leprous
parents who have attained the age of
six years; that the people of the settle
i ment be allowed to erect stores: that
I a quarter of a cord of wood a month
be given each 1eper: that ava be al
dicted to the habit; that the digging
of the graves OF the dead be done by
the board; that homes for non-fepTous
boys and girls be erected at Kaiihi.
that there be district magistrate and
police officers appointed for the settle
ment: that twenty-five instead OF
itwenty-one pounds of poi be given each
lleper every week; that friends of lep-
ers be allowed to visit the settlement II
a lattice fence is erected 10 separate
them from the lepers. ad that sheep be
furnished the settlement If the Same
can be obtained.
