of Rules.

Il ZERO might we'll be the sign for
III what the Legislature of the Ter
n ritory of Hawaii accomplished
yesterday. In the House there
was much talk over the rules; in the
Senate all day was taken up by the
reading of the regulations for that
body.
But while the Senate was dull, there
was some hot shot flying in the throne
room, and a not uninteresting debate
IL one looked below the surface. The
minutes of Saturdays session, in which
Secretary of the Territory Cooper was
ousted, stated that he was put off the
floor of the House as called for by the
resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Diclxey. The minutes of Secretary
Meheula, while not correctly kept and
very meager, yet evince the intent of
the House to bar Cooper only in his
official position and show no sign of
Justification. The members OF the
House say that 1t was intended only to
eject Cooper from the floor and not to
refuse him the same rights as ordinary
citizens. -.
Cooper said yesterday that he under
stood that he was barred from the
since his election asked the secretaries.
of the House and Senate for their daily.
journals and had been refused. He be-
lieves that the Legislature has refused.
to permit him to do what he is specifi-i
cally ordered to do by the Organic Act.
He will seek redress at Washington at
once.
An interesting by-play in the House
was the unmistakable break between
factions of the Independent party. The
party that gave Wilcox such a great
victory and elected such an overwhelm-
ing majority to the Legislature is diVid-
ed amongst itself and in fair way to
be rent asunder by the fight for spoils.
Makekau, Hilo Home Ruler, threw
down the gauntlet to the Honolulu In
dependents in plain words. When John
Emmeluth invoked the spirit of party
fealty, Makekau said he had his own
Home Rule party on Hawaii, and that
his crowd might determine not to play
in the yard of Emmeluth's crowd.
Makekau thought it quite possible his
section of the party might oppose
measures urged by the Honolulu indie
pendents While the break was smooth
ed over and discussion of 1t smothered,
one might detect easily the tear in the
garment of unity and imagine the flu
ture when bills involving expenditures
for Hilo and Honolulu crash.
Makekau also limited broadly at at
tempted coercion or purchase of mem
bers Several of the Independents said
last night that Makekau referred to
the coming dispensary bill and that the.
eleven hoof of the liquor power was in
sight.
The House passed resolution which
prevents balloting on measures. All
votes will be by raising of hands. by
rising or by yeas and noes. There will
be no secret voting. Every member will
have to avow his stand on every ques-
ton. This was accomplished by the
energy of Emmeluth. who persisted un-
til he had forced it through. 1t was
opposed by some of the Home Rulers
and by Republicans who held out for
the right to a secret vote as preventing
intimidation.

HOUSE ARGUES
OVER RULES

When the House began its session
yesterday there was lobby of but
one. Only Judge Wilder heard the i'm
pressive prayer of the chaplain besides
the Representatives and the reporters.
The prayer is always in Hawaiian and
the white members whose knowledge
of the native tongue is limited or nil
wonder If they are included in the ORR
sons Of the Rev. Mr.. Kamoku. John
Emmeluth has missed the prayer three
times and there is a rumor that he
fingers in the corridors to hear the
amen before he enters. He missed the
roll call and the reading of the min
utes as well as the prayer. On the
contrary William Hoogs is a model Of
promptness for his haole-hating fellow
white.
After the minutes had been read in
English by Secretary of the House Me-
heula. Interpreter Wise read them in
Hawaiian.
Speaker Akina called for the mes
sage OF the Governor and for an hour
It was droned out by the secretary in
the original English. The message had
been received Saturday but was side
tracked for the argument leading to
the ousting of Cooper.
ltuuIHb illOSl VI lIlt COuH-
try Representatives wrote letters home
while others read the newspapers. The
lobby filled up in the meantime but al
though every chair was occupied when
Secretary Meheula had finished. there
were but half dozen whites in the
hall Reading In Hawaiian was post
poned until the message is printed in
native. The House adjourned until
1880 o'clock.
When the afternoon session opened
Representative Gilhllan presented the
following:

SENATE DOES
LITTLE WORK

| Senators Achi and Baldwin failed {,
respond to their names yesterday morn
Ing when the Senate was called to or
der at 10 o'clock, but came in soon
afterwards. The minutes were read
and Senator Kalauokalani moved that
they be accepted, which was carried.
kaiue moved that the clerk be in
lstructed to acknowledge receipt OF the
Governors message and the action of
the Senate thereon.
| The report of the committee of rules
was heard through its chairman, SEN
ator White. The committee was unan-
imous in the framing of the rules pre-
scented. The use of the stenographer
was omitted, as II was not dcemeG
necessary. Fourteen standing commit
tees are provided for in the rules re-
quiring the fifteen members to fill for
ty-two positions, and If any member is
appointed on more than three commit
| tees, that he can refuse to act. SEN
ator Baldwin moved that the report be
accepted.
The chairman did not agree with the
majority of the committee in providing
| that a bill, resolution or other mat
| ter laid upon the table shall be taken up
| by the Senate of a majority vote in
stead OF two-thrds," nor the provision
that the previous question shall be
carried by the majority instead of
| three-flfths OF the members" This
gives the Independents full power in
the Senate
Kalauokalani gained the floor and
made motion in the Hawaiian tongue
which was not translated.
| Senator Carter objected strongly to
the fact that when speeches were made
In the Hawaiian tongue no opportunity
was given the Interpreter to translate
! White spoke of the omission in the
report of the committee concerning du-
ties of the assistant secretary, which
was declared out of order.
Baldwin urged that the rules be TAX
en- up at once, as the Senate was and
had been acting under miscellaneous
rules.
Kalauokalani moved to permit the
report to wait over until the afternoon
session.
Baldwin could not see the object in
this and objected to the motion being
put but lost, the motion being carried.
Cecil Brown then moved that the
house take a recess to 1880 O'clock.
When the afternoon session opened
L
of the committee on rules be read.
The secretary was so ordered The
president and vice president shall re-
cefve no pay for their services under
the rules laid down. while all oth"I
officers shall be paid according to the
appropriations made by the Senate.
/ Senator Cecil Brown moved that
rules to 81, inclusive be passed, stat
ing his object was to place these rules
before the house for debate.
! Senator Kanuha wanted the rules
| translated for the benent of the Ha-
waiians.
: Senator Brown withdrew his motion
in order to permit the translation.
Senator Baldwin objected to the mo-
tion Of Kanuha on the ground that It
was unnecessary. ms the interpreter
was there for that specinl purpose
The rules were ordered read I'm Ha-
waiIan, the reading occupying the best
I part OF the afternoon.
! Immediately after the readlng NJ the
rules Senator White moved to adjourn
until this morning at 10 o'clock.

work on three members. He said the
standing committees in all Legislatures
in the United States consisted of five
members.
| Makekau said that as they had
adopted the rules they could not
change them without a days notice
He was chairman of committee on rules
and IL they wished to change rules
they must reconsider the committee
J report.
| Emmeluth sought to withdraw his
motion 'bnt pickey, it's seconder, refus-
ed, saying hat by suspending rule IS
| they had given themselves right 10
amend thf rules. Emmeluth explained
| that he merely wanted to withdraw his
resolution So as 10 make other changes
and with pickeys consent 1t was per-
mitted.
Emmeluth moved that all voting ex-
cept for the officers of the House be
open and not by ballot. He said h.
believed In no secrecy and the fullest
publicity. Makekau said the members
should keep their right to vote secretly
and thus maintain their independent
action. He believed that In important
questions they should vote secretly. He
wanted TO lay the foundation for Sc
crecy there and then.
Emmeluth said that the words Of the
member from Hilo, Makekau, showed
that he had been intimidated bv the
statement OF Robertson day ago.
They should not be afraid TO vote open
ly for the right They had taken par
ty pledges and the only way nv which
their constituents could know they had
kept their pledges was bv their open
vote on the questions arising.
Beckley said the remark had been
made that members were inundated /;
that they were voting dishonesty He
believed they should vote openly and
not lay themselves omen 10 censure.
He wanted Emmeluth's amendment
passed.
Emmeluth applauded Bechey-the
first sign OF life In the House.
Robertson said he had not UNDER
stood Makekau 20 defend any wrong
practice but he thought the others, who
urged no secrecy. wanted 20 rid them
selves OF the charge that everything
done by the Independent Legislators
was cut and dried lie had heard such
rumors on the street he Haid Robert
son was against secret balioting.

| Robertson moved that the sergeant
alarms be instructed to furnish each
member with one copy of the Civil
Laws of 1897, Penal Laws of 1897 and
the Session Laws of 1898.
The resolution was adopted.
| Speaker Akina named the standing
committees.
| Robertson, a Republican, interrupted
the translation into Hawaiian of the
names of the standing committee by
Saying that he found in the rules that
the standing committees were to con-
| sist of five members each.
| John Emmeluth said experience had
taught him that large committees were
lunwieldy and he would prefer to see
the rules changed to having commit
tees consist of not over three members.
The speaker supported Robertson's
The speaker supported Robertson's
| objection to the size of the commit

Emmeluth moved the House return
to the order of the day, which motion
was carried. He then moved for a
Ichange in rule 10 of the Rules of Pro-
lcedure making the committees consist
| of three members instead OF five.
Robertson tripped up the doughty
Emmeluth by informing the House that
a days notice was necessary to change
any rule. Emmeluth accepted Robert
sons information and gave the re-
quired days notice. He pointed out
the corrections in the rules he intend
ed to make. He also asked for com
mittee on miscellaneous matters.
Beckley gave notice Of his intention
| to move the amendment OF rule so on
the previous question:" which calls
for three-fifths majority TO carry a
motion for the previous question, to al
lallow its carriage by n simple majority.
Rule So was by Dlckey's motion sus-
pended, It reads: mo rule of the

Sidered every member who was Il Home
Ruler to be bound by the party's prin-
ciples and declarations.
PrenderFast said he was for no Sc
crecy.
Makekau explained that he had been
misunderstood. He did not intend that
all resolutions should be voted on by
ballot but he saw ahead-there was a
time coming when members would be
forced to vote against their con-
sciences. He was Home Ruler but he
knew the Home Rulers were disagree
ing among themselves. "There will be
questions raised" he said "by Home
Rulers in Honolulu opposed to Home
Rulers in Hlo, from which place
come. Already the oahu Independents
are trying to break agreements with
us on Hawaii. ! viii STAY by my con-
stitucnts and not bv The Honolulu

Fwaliko called for vote on the
question. Aylett opposed the amend
ment and was for secrecy. The vote
was taken on the amendment and It
was carried, which means there will be
