| That Bob IS on his way to the
Paradise of the Pacific could easily be
| seen in the Senate on Saturday. DR..
Russelnitsky is not a pet of the Ha-
waiians, but he is the Mahomed to our
IItaIan-Hawaiian Allah. When Bob"
arrives, without Her Royal Highness,"
the slaves will light the water pipes
this is no insinuation against any
lplumber-and the great leaders will set
their turbans firmly on their heads and
lRussenitsky and White will embrace
each other, while Bob looks supreme
and while Mr.. Murphy" Kaulia, the
great temperance apostle, is released
| from the clutches of the police and
saved from paying 50 plus 81 in Judge
Wilcox's court.
| The minutes We're read and the ener-
lgetic Senator, who doesn't know wheth-
er he is in the chair of the Senate or
plain Senator had the rules suspend
ed and asked that the second reading
Of the Dispensary bill be set for Wed
Inesday. In this action he was support
! ed by Senator kalauokalani who be-
Ileves in having the bill disposed of in
some way and as soon as possible.
After a short debate. in which nearly
Iall the Senators joined, nothing was
done and the Senate adjourned to at
tend the joint conference with the
House, and the fate of the Dispensary
bill is apparently yet unsettled.
IN JOINT SESSION.
Since the merry days of Kalakaua the
old throne room has never held so many
people as it did on Saturday, when, at
III o'clock, the Senate and House met in
Joint session and hundreds of citizens
were present to see the fun. And they
did see it. From a cosmopolitan point
of view 1t was marvellous. On the
! throne" as 1t used to be, sat Russia"
and China" Mr.. Russell, formerly
subject of the Car, represented the
Senate and Mr.. Akina, whose long
iqueued father was a subject (perhaps
a Boxer of the Son of Heaven, who
runs China, or runs himself. represent
ed the House. Below the steps of the
throne" were seated Solomon Meheula
Iof Hawaii the secretary of the House
and deacon Of Bishop Wills, and next
to him sat Caypless, of somewhere, the
secretary of the Senate.
! NakoOkoo, who doesn't like reporters,
stood at one end of the room as SER
Igeant-at-arms of the House, while Ka-
! haulelio, who holds the same exalted
position in the Senate, took the other
end and glared defiance at everybody
within the sacred circle fanked by En-
meluth and Aylett.
J The Senators were seated and it was
really an awful moment when Russia"
used the gavel and called the Legisla
ture to order He explained that he
Wit III fria
cause the Senate had not yet accepted
his resignation and he was still presi-
dent. China" looked at the Bulletin
man and said "Bah!" which means
kokua' to anything.
The reason of the joint meeting was
ITO consider the concurrent resolution
which was introduced by Mr.. White in
the Senate on the 25th inst, and which
provides for the election by both houses
or those Senators who are to hold office
for four years.
To report the actual happenings Of
the session would be impossible even
lot an expelled Secretary Of the Terri
tory. The fact was that the resolution
had been mislaid or stolen, and that
turing the weary hour the Joint session
was at work, there was nothing be-
lore the assembled wisdom to debate
on. Mr.. Kanuha should change his
name to Kanalua, because he refused
- vote with any party. Senator Cecil
brown made a sensible move In trying
20 nave the Legislature adjourn sine
u'e' out he was defeated by the follow
ing vote:
