Mr.. j. Brown presented the following
petition, signed by eighty-seven voters
of the Territory of Hawaii:
| We, the undersigned citizens of South
Hlo, Island of Hawaii in behalf of
more than 200 citizen residents along the
proposed Improvement most earnestly
petition your honorable body for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the construction
of a roadway, in said district, commence
| ing at a point on the Cocoanut Island
road and running along and parallel
with the sea coast, so near as practical
| BILE to the northeast corner of Lake Lo-
kowaka.
! Mr. Kalauokalani reported for the
Printing Committee to the effect that
Senate bills SIS, Sc and 81 had been print
| ed
| Further time was granted the special
| Molokai Committee during which to re-
port.
Mr.. White introduced two bills of
which he had given previous notice, as
! follows
! / The Public Health Act.
! 9. An Act covering the office of the
Transportation Commissioner.
Both these bills We're read by title aand
! referred to the Printing Committee.
The afternoon session was mostly taken
up by a useless debate of what to do
with Russelnitsky," and no words hav-
ing been received from the Prince Con-
sort, the gentleman from Siberia was
permitted to remain a plain Senator. and
/ as such he voted for Senator White to be
gagged and placed in the Chair as Pres
ident. This motion caused lots of trou-
BILE and oily BilP' would have been
shouting vet If the medical Senator
hadn't withdrawn his motion to put
White in the chair. Kaiue was unani-
mously elected as President of the Sen
ate and Kalauokalani was also unanl-
4 mously elected Vice President and will
take the chair whenever Kaiue and
White have to be absent, talking over
| Maui matters, of course.
No one seemed anxious TO ask Russell
nitsky to resign; probably tips had been
given from Humphreytsky and Wilcoht-
sky, but Kanuha (of "Kanalua' fame)
stood up bravely and said: IF none OF
you dare to ask Senator Russell to get of
| his perch, 7 dare to do So"
| That settled the climax and the CHAIR
Senator Russell was then appointed a
member of all the committees on which
President Kaiue has been. and there will
be a hot time In town.
The session closes on the 10Th of this
month and there are about 81 bills to
be handled by the committees, on which
Russelnitsky will sit and play as baby
with the block house.
Senator White, knowing that the
boys were looked for at the Wilcox
luau, moved an adjournment Senator
Russell wanted the motion referred tc
the Committee on Intoxicants. of which
he and White and Crabbe are now mem
hers, and then the great Senator from
Lahaina got up and, in an absent
minded way, DEMANDED to know agar
who is to pay for Mckinleys trip t.
Honolulu
1t will hardly be right to mention it
until 1t is known, who pays for Bill!
Whites trip to Honolulu.
And the Senate adjourned
